TLPB Mitral
Porcine mitral valve bioprosthesis
HEART VALVES | ADULT
The TLPB porcine heart valve bioprosthesis developed by Labcor preserves the leaflet’s natural characteristics with its tricomposition and low-profile design. The DURANOL fixation process that ensures tissue stability with calcium mitigating properties (1) and years of experience in manufacturing and tissue engineering (Since 1984) make TLPB an excellent choice for valve replacement.

DURANOL
DURANOL calcium mitigating treatment
Bioburden reduction preserves collagen and reduces antigenicity.
Zero Pressure Fixation keeps the tissue structure more resilient and elastic.
Reduction of lipids with ethanol.(1)
Cross-link optimization, reducing free aldehydes with pH control and heat treatment with polymerized solution.

FEATURES
- 25M; 27M; 29M; 31M; 33M
- Excellent hemodynamics, resulting from the largest effective orifice. Obtained with a thorough cleaning and removal of excess muscles from the leaflets;
- Excellent coaptation and leaflet symmetry due to careful selection of individual leaflets.
- Allows only contacting biological tissue with the prosthesis cusps;
- Minimizes the possibility of abrasion of leaflets in the open position.
- Tubular “Tissue” type polyester coated stent, with auxiliary suture markings;
- Low-profile stent with 8 to 10 mm ventricular projection;
- Allows implantation in smaller incisions or small ventricles.
- Soft and strong suture ring made of radiopaque silicone (titanium dioxide).
