ABSTRACT:
An artificial cardiac valve of the type comprising a plastic material ring member (1) effective to act as a valve seat, encompassed by a plastic cloth outside ring (3) effective to act as an anchoring member for the yarns tying the cardiac valve to the host tissue. The valve is provided with a shutter member (4,4a) formed by two arcuate valves (4,4a) each provided at the central zone of the edge provided for resting on the valve seat ring (1) with two thin lugs (5). The valve seat ring (1) is provided with seats (9,9') formed in the walls thereof at diametrically opposed positions, effective to freely receive the lugs (5). The valve is particularly useful as an aortic or mitral valve.
