The saddle-shaped sewing cuff of the valve mimics the asymmetrical form of the native mitral valve.

MITRIS RESILIA is a low-profile valve that deploys the Edwards PERIMOUNT valve design and incorporates a nitinol wire form that enables it to fold inward at the time of implantation.

The valve can be seen under fluoroscopy, which enables potential transcatheter interventions for patients in the future.
