Height: 2 inches Length: 5 inches Width: 10 inches Expiration date: (Expired) On-X CXL20181224 CHORD-X Premeasured Loops for Mitral Chordal Replacement 24mm (X) On-X® Chord-X™ Pre-Measured Loops product, specifically designed for mitral valve repair surgery. It's manufactured by Artivion (formerly CryoLife), which acquired On-X Life Technologies. Product Name: On-X® Chord-X™ Pre-Measured Loops for Mitral Chordal Replacement. Purpose: This device is used during mitral valve repair surgery to replace or repair damaged chordae tendinae. These are the crucial fibrous cords that connect the mitral valve leaflets to the papillary muscles in the heart, ensuring the valve closes properly. When they are damaged or become prolapsed, it can lead to mitral regurgitation (a leaky valve). Material: It's made of ePTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene), a durable, non-absorbable, monofilament synthetic suture material. This material is widely used in cardiovascular surgery due to its biocompatibility and resistance to degradation. Key Features of CXL20181224: Pre-Measured Loops: The "Pre-Measured Loops" aspect means that the ePTFE suture is already configured into loops of a precise, pre-determined length. This helps standardize the repair and can reduce operative time compared to surgeons manually fashioning the chords. Loop Length: The "24" in the product code CXL20181224 indicates a 24mm loop length. This is one of the available standardized lengths (other common lengths include 12mm, 16mm, and 20mm). Suture Size: The "20" (or sometimes "2-0") often refers to the suture size, typically 2-0 USP (United States Pharmacopeia), which is equivalent to 3.0 Metric. The diameter is similar to GORE-TEX® CV-4 sutures. Needle Configuration: Each unit typically comes with double-armed taper point needles for efficient and secure attachment. Pledgets: It includes PTFE pledgets (small felt-like pieces) for secure attachment to the papillary muscle. Usually, one is attached to the suture pair for the papillary muscle, and an additional independent pledget is also provided. Packaging: Typically supplied in boxes containing 5 sterile units. Each unit contains one suture pair for the papillary muscle and three independent pre-measured chordal suture loops for leaflet attachment, all organized on disposable foam base-plates for convenient suture management during surgery. In essence, the CXL20181224 is a specific configuration within Artivion's Chord-X system, providing a pre-measured 24mm ePTFE loop solution to facilitate precise and efficient mitral valve chordal replacement, ultimately aiming to restore proper valve function and improve patient outcomes.
