SimValve Force

Aortic and pulmonary valvuloplasty balloon

Features

High pressure and high resistance balloon
Indicated for valvuloplasty in aortic and pulmonary valve stenosis
Specially designed for pre-dilation of the native valve prior to prosthesis implantation
Advanced folding with flat folds for easy removal after dilation
Fast inflation and deflation times thanks to optimized catheter design
Soft catheter tip and short shoulders for safety
