Results for tag: "Annuloplasty Ring"

An annuloplasty ring is a medical device used to repair the mitral valve in the heart. It is a circular device that is placed around the valve to reduce the size of the annulus, or opening, of the valve. This helps to reduce the amount of blood that leaks through the valve, improving the efficiency of the heart. Annuloplasty rings are typically made of metal or plastic and are designed to be adjustable to fit the patient's anatomy. The rings are implanted during open-heart surgery and can be used to repair both primary and secondary mitral valve regurgitation. The annuloplasty ring market is a growing segment of the medical device industry. It is driven by the increasing prevalence of heart disease and the need for effective treatments. The market is expected to benefit from technological advancements in the design and manufacturing of annuloplasty rings, as well as the increasing availability of minimally invasive procedures. Some companies in the annuloplasty ring market include Edwards Lifesciences, Medtronic, Abbott, Boston Scientific, and St. Jude Medical. Show Less Read more
