Definition

Testing Designed for
Regulatory Confidence

Artificial heart valves are among the most critical life-saving implants in cardiovascular medicine. Designed to restore proper blood flow and replace damaged native valves, they must perform flawlessly under continuous mechanical and biological stress. From durability and hydraulic efficiency to hemocompatibility and thrombogenicity, every aspect of valve performance directly impacts patient safety and long-term outcomes.
