CG Future^® Annuloplasty System for Mitral Repair

The CG Future^® System offers evolutionary features, with revolutionary advantages:

• The system encompasses both performance and practicality to predictably remodel the annulus.
• Surgeons can choose between a flexible ring or a semi-rigid band, based on their preference and their patient’s needs.

The CG Future^® COMPOSITE Ring is the first composite ring to offer posterior remodeling while maintaining anterior flexibility. A flexible anterior segment seamlessly connects to the ring's semi-rigid posterior, providing the support needed to dynamically remodel the annulus, thereby allowing physiologic movement throughout the cardiac cycle.

• Reduced risk for anterior dilatation
• Easy and secure anchoring to the trigones
• Semi-rigid remodeling
• Ease of implant with 20% lower profile³
• Considered a benefit for patients with degenerative, ischemic and dilated cardiomyopathic valve disease
• Available in eight sizes ranging from 24 mm to 38 mm
