CG Future Annuloplasty System
The CG Future® Annuloplasty System for mitral valve repair is designed to predictably remodel the annulus to maintain apposition of the anterior and posterior leaflets. Correct annuloplasty ring/band sizing is an important element to achieve a successful repair.
Summary
Remodel the Mitral Annulus While Supporting Physiologic Annular Movement
Surgeons can choose between a semi-rigid ring with a flexible anterior segment 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
- Unique eyelet design for easy anchoring to the trigones
- Semi-rigid design offers enough flexibility to allow movement of the mitral annulus during the cardiac cycle.
- Ease of implant with 20% lower profile.1 The band is ideal for small incisions and minimally invasive procedures where visibility and access to the anterior portion of the mitral annulus may be limited.
- Considered a benefit for patients with degenerative, ischemic and dilated cardiomyopathic valve disease
- The CG Future Ring is available in eight sizes ranging from 24 mm to 38 mm
- The CG Future Band is available in seven sizes ranging from 26 mm to 38 mm
