Our revolutionary COR-KNOT® Device fastens and trims suture faster than hand-tied knots offering exceptional strength, security and reliability in cardiac valve replacement and repair.
A COR-KNOT® QUICK LOAD® UNIT is used to load a COR-KNOT® FASTENER into the COR-KNOT® DEVICE. Each COR-KNOT® QUICK LOAD® UNIT provides one sterile COR-KNOT® FASTENER held in a customized loading unit consisting of a purple target, a wire snare and a blunt curved handle.
Made from medical grade titanium, a COR-KNOT® FASTENER is a mushroom-shaped hollow sleeve, which is crimped by the COR-KNOT® DEVICE to fasten together segments of suture.
THE COR-KNOT® TITANIUM FASTENER
Provides a strong, secure, and safe alternative to hand-tied knots
ROTATIONAL KNOB
The rotational knob is used to rotate the shaft of the device and provides an ergonomic way to control fastener and suture orientation
COR-KNOT® QUICK LOAD® UNIT
Expedites the loading and reloading of a COR-KNOT® FASTENER into the COR-KNOT® DEVICE
