It consists of two flat, semicircular, pyrolytic carbon-coated or polymer leaflets that pivot about pyrolytic carbon or metal struts attached to the valve housing by hinges; the hinge points intersect the valve lumen resulting in a total of three openings. When pressurized blood hits the valve, the two halves of the circle fold away from the valve ring and allow blood to flow into the three openings before the valve flaps close again.trueActiveLWQHEART-VALVE, MECHANICALOuter Diametertruefalse
