Heart Valve Product Group
The primary purpose of On-X LTI´s Heart Valve Product Group is to produce the innovative On-X® Prosthetic Heart Valve and additional heart valve technologies the company will be developing.
The On-X® Prosthetic Heart Valve is a pure carbon bileaflet heart valve prosthesis, developed at On-X Life Technologies, Inc. (formerly MCRI), by the world's most experienced mechanical heart valve designers.
The exceptional clinical success of the On-X valve results from numerous innovations that distinguish it from all other prosthetic heart valves. The design maximizes benefit for the recipient and mitigates many of the problems associated with valve prostheses.
