Our Solution
Technology
Proprietary anchoring and ring delivery technology
Delivered using a transseptal approach to the mitral annulus, VALFIX converts open-heart valve surgery to a transcatheter procedure. Following suture and anchor deployment, the VALFIX ring is delivered over the sutures onto the annulus to reduce the annulus size and eliminate the regurgitation.
