AVatar MedTech develops an innovative set of medical devices that standardizes a surgical method for reconstructing aortic and pulmonary valves in both children and adults using autologous tissue. Specifically designed with pediatric patients in mind, these devices make the procedure simpler, faster and easily reproducible by any cardiac surgeon, while enhancing patient safety. The beneficiaries of AVatar MedTech include patients with semilunar valvular diseases who receive life-changing or life-saving surgeries, as well as cardiovascular surgeons who gain access to tools that simplify complex procedures, eliminating the need for in-depth understanding of valve geometry, mathematics and hydrodynamic laws.
