TAVI System

  • TAVI 1

    TAVI System

    The Colibri Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (“TAVI”) System is the only true low profile transcatheter aortic heart valve that uses dry tissue technology to allow for a pre-mounted, crimped, and loaded heart valve that is sterilized and ready-for-use.

  • TAVI 2

  • Pre-Mounted

    Ready-For-Use

    Colibri’s manufacturing process provides significant operational, quality, and cost advantages over traditional “wet” technologies as it ensures controlled and accurate valve crimping and placement on the delivery system and eliminates the need for cleaning, mounting, crimping, and loading of valves at the point of use.

    TAVI 3
  • TAVI 4

    The Colibri TAVI System utilizes a custom-made balloon expandable delivery system that secures the valve and protects the anatomy during valve advancement through the vasculature.

  • Balloon Deployment

    The Colibri TAVI balloon expandable delivery system utilizes a custom-made non-compliant, high pressure balloon that provides controlled and accurate heart valve expansion and placement.

Valve Design

    • Proprietary Folded Valve Design: The Colibri heart valve leaflets are formed from three independent pieces of proprietary “dry” porcine pericardium which are created using a unique folding method. The folded design of the leaflets reduces the amount of material in the frame and minimizes the number of sutures required to manufacture the valve.

    • The patent protected Colibri design reduced the number of sutures to less than 200 while increasing durability and functionality. The Colibri valve design allows for an unprecedented profile reduction minimizing the profile of a crimped valve while allowing for superior valve efficiency and reduced load on the heart.
