Technology at the cutting edge

SORIN GROUP develops “smart” medical devices to save lives and improve patient comfort. Some of our recent developments include:

 

OXYGENATOR

KIDS D100 ™ is the smallest oxygenator on the market, specially designed to provide extra-corporeal circulation to newborns weighing less than 5 kg, during heart surgery.

REMOTE MONITORING*

The SMARTVIEW™ remote
monitoring solution records data
from implanted devices and then
transmits this data from the patient’s
home to the physician. This allows
the transmission of valuable alert
messages, providing physicians with
relevant information and offering
patients more peace of mind.
* Under clinical evaluation.

SUTURELESS MINIMALLY INVASIVE HEART VALVE

VALVEPerceval™ S is a new selfanchoring sutureless aortic bioprothesis that is ideal for the replacement of diseased aortic
valves using gold-standard
techniques. It is also suitable
for minimally invasive cardiac
surgery procedures.

SORIN GROUP is committed to continuous innovation through interdisciplinary structures of research and development. This is achieved by integrating science and technology into products and processes: from biology to medicine, materials science to electronics, micro-electronics and information technology.
