Duran
AnCore® Annuloplasty System
for Mitral and Tricuspid Repair
The Benefits of Flexibility with the Use of Proven Technology
With more than 30 years of clinical experience,
the Duran AnCore Annuloplasty System, available in both ring and
band, offers:
- Better early postoperative LV systolic
function over patients with a rigid ring1
- Allows annulus size and configuration
to adapt to changes throughout cardiac cycle2-4
- Better diastolic blood flow across the
mitral valve, particularly during exercise5
- Less stress on the sutures during systole,
minimizing the likelihood of dehiscence6
Features that facilitate the implant of the Duran Ancore System:
- Chordial guide feature
- Lower system profile
- Easy-release holder and flange with snap-off removal
- Streamlined handle
- Flat sizer design
- Size 23mm ring and band
