St. Jude Introduces Trifecta Valve in EU
April 7, 2016
St. Jude Medical has launched its Trifecta valve with Glide technology — which is designed to treat diseased, damaged or malfunctioning aortic heart valves — in the EU.
The tissue-covered valve allows for tissue-to-tissue contact and is coated with anticalcification treatment to diminish mineralization. Further, the Glide technology facilitates implantation in both minimally invasive and traditional valve replacement procedures.
The valve garnered CE marking in February. — Anisa Jibrell
