Additional Information for Cardiac Bioprosthesis Implant
Cardiac bioprosthesis implants are medical devices used in cardiac surgery to replace a damaged or diseased heart valve. These implants are part of the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" and belong to the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."
Cardiac bioprosthesis implants are typically made from biological materials, such as animal tissues or synthetic materials that mimic the structure and function of a natural heart valve. They are designed to restore normal blood flow through the heart and improve overall cardiac function.
These implants are used when a patient's heart valve is no longer functioning properly due to conditions such as valve stenosis (narrowing) or valve regurgitation (leakage). The damaged valve is surgically removed, and the bioprosthesis implant is then inserted to replace it.
There are different types of cardiac bioprosthesis implants available, including mechanical valves and tissue valves. Mechanical valves are made from durable materials, such as metal or ceramic, and require lifelong anticoagulant medication to prevent blood clots. Tissue valves, on the other hand, are made from animal tissues, such as porcine (pig) or bovine (cow) valves, or from human donor tissues. Tissue valves do not require long-term anticoagulation but may have a shorter lifespan compared to mechanical valves.
The choice of cardiac bioprosthesis implant depends on various factors, including the patient's age, overall health, and lifestyle. The surgeon will consider these factors and discuss the best option for each individual patient.
In summary, cardiac bioprosthesis implants are medical devices used in cardiac surgery to replace damaged or diseased heart valves. They are part of the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."
