Edwards INTUITY Elite
valve system
The EDWARDS INTUITY Elite valve system is designed to achieve three important goals simultaneously:
The EDWARDS INTUITY Elite valve system represents our commitment to surgeons and patients in heart valve therapy.
We have combined our proven pericardial valve technology with our innovations in transcatheter heart valves to create a surgical valve designed to streamline procedures and facilitate smaller incision surgery. We believe more efficient, less invasive procedures can provide significant benefits, both during the procedure and after.
Built on a trusted, proven valve platform
Designed for durability. Created to last.
The EDWARDS INTUITY Elite valve system combines our proven pericardial valve technology with our innovations in transcatheter heart valves.
Provides rapid deployment for streamlined procedures
Streamlined implantation. Because time is precious.
Facilitates small incision surgery
Empowering multiple approaches. Progress through access.
The EDWARDS INTUITY Elite valve system is designed to enhance the ease of implantation through small incisions using three guiding sutures.
Excellent hemodynamic performance
Consistent excellent EOA and low gradients up to 5 years were observed during the TRITON study.
