A heart valve annulus sizer is a manual surgical tool used during cardiac procedures to measure the dimensions of a valve opening. By determining the correct size for an annuloplasty ring or a prosthetic valve, these instruments help surgeons ensure a precise fit during repair or replacement.
These reusable instruments are typically provided as a set of tapered gauges designed for specific heart valves, such as the aortic, mitral, or tricuspid. Some versions include a handle that can be used to assist with the final implantation of the valve or ring.
