Name:LVR with Blue Egg
Product URL:http://www.bioventrix.com/products/overview.aspx
Description:Designed to Fit the Procedure.

The Blue Egg delivers fundamental advantages over traditional LVR, SVR or DOR procedures. To begin with, it’s designed for equal effectiveness in open and minimally invasive or beating heart approaches which can accelerate patient recovery and outcomes. What's more, the Blue Egg has successfully solved one of the greatest challenges facing surgeons when resizing the left ventricle: making it either too small or too large.

Featuring flexible construction, access ports for continuous trans-apical LV venting, a simple self-deploying insertion process, and the proprietary Blue Egg Sizing Algorithm that allows determination of the ideal ventricular volume, the revolutionary Blue Egg Sizer offers precisely what you need to accurately reconstruct the LV.

When resizing the left ventricle, the Blue Egg eliminates the guesswork. The ideal Left Ventricular End Diastolic Volume is achieved by utilizing the BioVentrix Blue Egg Sizing Chart. This will insure the selection of Blue Egg size that will optimize the postop EDV, and clear identification of the neo-apex to maximize reduction in wall tension relative to the volume.

The Blue Egg offers:

Clear Visualization - Apical ports facilitate left ventricular venting, enabling minimally invasive or beating-heart approaches in a completely blood-free field.

Precision - Flexible construction allows easy device manipulation with definitive localization of suture placement relative to the neo-apex.

Safety - Sizer memory combined with optimal compressibility guarantees the desired post-restoration chamber configuration without risking trauma to the LV or the mitral apparatus.

Configuration - The surgeon determines the ideal ventricular volume. The Blue Egg assures a post-op LVEDV that matches that volume.

Durability - Unlike inflatable reservoir-type devices, the Blue Egg is unaffected by incidental needle perforation.

Efficiency - The Blue Egg folds and unfolds automatically, making insertion into the LV a one-step process. Likewise, tension at the lip causes the Blue Egg to easily collapse, making removal a fluid maneuver.

Exposure - The Blue Egg is easily compressed for fragile interior wall exposure. Inflatable devices are uncompressible, requiring the heart to be retracted to perform the procedure.
