The Tailor Flexible Ring and Band are designed to accommodate the natural movement of the annulus, and physicians can tailor the products to meet precise patient needs. The Ring provides anterior and posterior support of the valve while allowing necessary motion as the valve opens and closes.
Paul Bond, president of St Jude Medical Japan, said: “With the approval and introduction of the Tailor Ring and Band, St Jude is offering its first valve repair solution in Japan, building on our long-established tradition of assisting Japanese surgeons with safe and effective solutions for the treatment of valve disease.”
