The Sovereign solution to annuloplasty rings
SOVERING TM
CarbofilmTM coated annuloplasty rings
2
Sovering annuloplasty rings are flexible devices made of:
• Radiopaque silicone core.
• Knitted polyester (PET) fabric, coated with CarbofilmTM.
• Carbofilm TM coating enhances biocompatibility and hemocompatibility and minimizes the fibrous overgrowth.(1-8)
• One piece construction (silicone/PET fabric) avoids displacement between the silicone core and the outer fabric when suturing, ensuring compactness.
• The flexibility of the core helps to restore the orifice area, while allowing the natural 3D motion
of the annulus during the cardiac cycle. Flexibility reduces the stress on the sutures,
minimizing the likelihood of dehiscence.
• Silicone core impregnated with Barium sulfate enables radiographic visualisation.
• White markers facilitate commissural alignment and device seating.

MODELS
LivaNova provides surgeons with two mitralmodels and one tricuspid model.
• SOVERING MITRAL RING and SOVERING MITRAL BAND
• SOVERING TRICUSPID BAND
A wide range of solutions
• Rings/Bands are pre-mounted on a holder composed of
two parts. The clutch, designed for a safe connection
with the UNI Handle, is sutured to a template which
mimics the shape of the mitral and tricuspid annuli.
Surgeons may choose:
• To remove the holder (clutch+template) after suturing.
• To remove first the clutch maintaining the template in place
for proper suturing without distortion then the template.
• Ring/Band selection is based on the measurement of
theintercommissural distance and matching of the same
to the notches on the sizer. Ring/Band selection may also
be based on the measurement of the anterior leaflet area with
the same sizer.

The procedures described in this publication are provided for the convenience of the implanting medical professional, and for purposes of illustration only. Accordingly, the procedures are not intended to be exhaustive and may not be the only procedures available at the time of implantation for performing bioprosthesis procedures. Sorin Group Italia S.r.l. therefore makes no representations as to the safety or effectiveness of the procedures. Sorin Group Italia S.r.l. relies on the medical professional to use his or her medical judgement and experience and know-how in implantation techniques for a particular patient. Detailed descriptions of indications, contra-indications, precautions and potential side effects are to this end provided in the product’s Instructions for Use manual.
