GOA, India–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#TRIAheartvalves–Foldax® Inc., a leader in the development of innovative polymer heart valves, in conjunction with its local manufacturing partner Dolphin Life Science LLP, today announced the launch of the TRIA™ Mitral Valve in India, marking the first time a polymer heart valve has been made commercially available to patients anywhere in the world.

Traditional valves made from animal tissue are prone to calcification and degradation, limiting their durability and often leading to repeat surgeries, especially for younger patients. Mechanical valves, while durable, are prone to thrombosis and require lifelong anticoagulation therapy that can impact a patient’s long-term quality of life. Foldax’s vision for its novel polymer heart valves is to address the limitations of tissue and mechanical valves by making its valves durable, with the future goal of avoiding the requirement for lifelong anticoagulation.

Mitral valve disease is a concern in India, with rising surgical volumes and increased need for long-term treatment solutions. The TRIA™ Mitral Valve is positioned to offer a new option for patients seeking a durable solution without the lifestyle limitations of mechanical valves.
