<p>This invention relates to a stentless heart valve surgical support device that allows accurate and easy positioning of a heart valve and facilitates suturing by adding rigidity to the valve structure. Suturing is further facilitated by the reduced diameter of the device at the suturing end and by marking lines on the device to indicate to a surgeon where the sutures should be applied. This device is reusable with the exception of a detachable handle.</p> |
