Freestyle® Aortic Root Bioprosthesis

Physiologic Fixation™ Process

Performance Benefits

The Physiologic Fixation™ process retains the natural collagen crimp of the leaflet, which helps resist cyclic fatigue.

Physiologic Fixation Process preserves the natural collagen crimp.


Leaflet Shows Force DistributionLeaflet During Closure

Because its structural elements are maintained with the Physiologic Fixation process, the Freestyle® bioprosthesis (left) functions more like a native valve, efficiently distributing applied forces that prevent leaflet kinking.
