The delivery system for the Duran Flexible Annuloplasty Ring consists of the ring holder, template and handle. The annuloplasty ring is mounted onto a rigid, colored plastic holder via sutures. The ring holder is connected to a rigid clear plastic template. The Duran Annuloplasty Ring and Delivery system is available in 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, and 35 mm sizes.

The MEDTRONIC® POSTERIOR ANNULOPLASTY BAND is indicated for the reconstruction and/or remodeling of the pathological mitral valve. Combined mitral valve stenosis and insufficiency may be corrected by appropriate commissurotomy and valvular remodeling. The MEDTRONIC® POSTERIOR ANNULOPLASTY BAND is contraindicated for use under the following conditions: the presence of heavy valvular calcification, valvular retraction with severely reduced mobility and the presence of active bacterial endocarditis.

The MEDTRONIC® POSTERIOR ANNULOPLASTY BAND is constructed of a polyester fabric enclosing an open strip of pliable radiopaque sillicone elastomer impregnated with barium sulfate which enables radiographic visualization. The band is uniformly 3 mm in diameter and is provided in a single length of 63 mm. Colored suture markers, which facilitate implantation, are circumferentially located at the center of the band and at each end. The MEDTRONIC® POSTERIOR ANNULOPLASTY BAND will be offered in one length, 63 mm and will not be mounted onto a holder. No sizers will be offered with the posterior band configuration as only one length is available. The MEDTRONIC® POSTERIOR ANNULOPLASTY BAND will be supplied in a sterile double aseptic transfer pouch. The annuloplasty band will remain sterile if the pouch is undamaged and unopened. The MEDTRONIC® POSTERIOR ANNULOPLASTY BAND uses the same materials and is processed, packaged and sterilized similarly to the MEDTRONIC® DURAN FLEXIBLE ANNULOPLASTY RING.
