Mitral Touch System
This device is designed to epicardially reshape the mitral valve annulus without the need for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and open heart access (atriotomy), in patients with left ventricular dilation and ischemic or functional MR (mitral regurgitation (MR)).
Full description
Mitre Medical has developed an epicardial mitral annuloplasty device that can be implanted concomitant during planned coronary artery bypass surgery to help treat the MR patients. The Mitral Touch is designed to restore the S-L dimension and has the advantage of being placed without stopping the heart and placing the patient on a bypass pump.
