1991 – Pericarbon Stentless Valve

In 1991, Sorin Group introduced the Pericarbon Stentless Aortic Valve.* This valve is made of glutaraldehyde-treated bovine pericardium and is treated with an exclusive detoxification post-treatment. The totally fluidic, atraumautic design allows for simultaneous in-depth tissue fixation and shaping at very low pressure. Sorin Group's Pericarbon Stentless Valve* represents the first-ever implant of a bovine pericardial stentless valve.
