CorKnot, has become the new gold standard for suture security, is predominantly used in heart valve surgery where it has shown to be safe, effective and significantly faster than hand-tying.
Cor-Knot studies have confirmed significant reductions in cardio-pulmonary bypass time and total operating room time. Furthermore, digital pressure mapping assessments have demonstrated that Cor-Knot yields more uniform valve-to-annulus attachment strength, limiting the risk of para-valvular leaks.
The Cor-Knot MIS Device is used in minimally invasive heart valve surgery, including robotic assisted procedures. It greatly increases confidence over the traditional "knot-pusher" approach.
The Cor-Knot devices are used in conjunction with the Cor-Knot Titanium Fastener, indicated for use to fasten and trim suture in general and cardiovascular surgical applications.
