Recently, MicroPort^® CardioFlow’s VitaFlow Liberty^® Transcatheter Aortic Valve and Rretrievable Delivery System (hereinafter referred to as "VitaFlow Liberty^®"),stood out from numerous works around the world with its innovative design concept and excellent product performance, and successfully won the 2022 German Red Dot Design Award (product design).

VitaFlow Liberty^® is the world’s only electric retrievable transcatheter aortic valve system, offering outstanding stability during procedure and hemodynamics post-procedure that will improve the quality of life for patients with aortic valve disease. It inherits the advantages of the VitaFlow^® in terms of valve design, featuring a hybrid density self-expanding stent, bovine pericardial leaflets, and a high double-layer PET skirt design. This design offers robust radial force, improved coaxiality during deployment, and effectively reduces the incidence of perivalvular leakage post-procedure. Moreover, its breakthrough upgraded delivery system incorporates a unique and innovative double-reinforced spiral structure that ensures rapid, stable, and precise release and retrieval. This system also provides flexibility, allowing for 360-degree bending of the valve segment.

As the first approved motorized retrievable transcatheter aortic valve system in China, VitaFlow Liberty^® inherits the advantages of VitaFlow^® transcatheter aortic valve system in valve design, adopts the structure of inner and outer double-layer skirt and hybrid density stent, and continues to use bovine pericardium as the valve leaflet material. In addition, its groundbreaking breakthrough features an upgraded delivery system with a retrievable function—the world’s first to combine a double-reinforced spiral capsule with an electric handle. This innovation ensures fast, stable, and precise deployment and retrieval while enabling flexible, 360° range of motion. It is currently the only delivery system in the Chinese market capable of such full rotational maneuverability.

The awarding of the 2022 Red Dot Design Award to VitaFlow Liberty^® signifies international recognition of VitaFlow Liberty^®’s innovative design and the brand of MicroPort^® CardioFlow , and also marks a new important milestone on the road of MicroPort^® CardioFlow 's international development, which comes from firm conviction, unremitting efforts and hard work of every R&D engineer, as well as MicroPort^® CardioFlow's perseverance in independent R&D and continuous innovation over the years. In the future, MicroPort^® CardioFlow will continue to focus on independent research and development of products, firmly keep its original mission, launching more high-end and innovative total medical solutions to meet clinical needs, and providing trustworthy and universal access to state-of-the-art total solutions to treat structural heart diseases for the benefit of patients worldwide.
