Right from the start, the St. Jude Medical mechanical heart valve set the standard. Decades later, St. Jude Medical valves are still the standard, thanks to our unique proprietary pivot guard design—only from St. Jude Medical.

To meet the surgeon's preference for a greater number of implant options, the SJM Masters Series HP valve is now available in both a standard cuff and a FlexCuff sewing ring. Flanged and more pliable, the FlexCuff sewing ring easily conforms to the annulus, giving surgeons another option, to simplify positioning and improve suturability.

Unlike any other heart valve on the market, the ATS Open Pivot Heart Valve was developed to improve thromboresistance by doing what might now seem obvious – eliminate the major cause of the problem, the cavity.
