Adjustable mitral valve positioning for open and robotic cardiac surgery training
The LifeLike Mitral Valve Base securely supports compatible mitral valve models while allowing the valve to be rotated and positioned at the working angle required for repair, suturing and reconstruction exercises.
LifeLike Mitral Valve Training Base
Designed for use with compatible LifeLike Mitral Valve Models , this reusable holder provides a stable and adjustable platform for cardiac valve repair training.
The rotating fixture allows the mounted valve to be positioned at different angles, helping instructors recreate the working orientation required for specific repair, reconstruction and suturing exercises.
Choose between a suction-cup mounting system for compatible smooth surfaces or the extra round base with Velcro for surfaces where suction mounting is unsuitable. Regular and Large configurations are available for the corresponding valve model sizes.
Training applications
Mitral valve repair
Hold the valve securely while practising leaflet repair and other mitral reconstruction techniques.
Valve suturing
Develop controlled needle placement, suture spacing and tension while the valve remains correctly positioned.
Adjustable orientation
Rotate and angle the valve to recreate different surgical approaches and working positions.
Robotic surgery training
Select the extra-base version for mounting arrangements commonly used in robotic and minimally invasive training setups.
Teaching demonstrations
Position the valve clearly for instructor-led demonstrations and procedural teaching.
Skills assessment
Maintain a consistent valve position during structured practical assessment and competency evaluation.

Frequently asked questions
Is the mitral valve model included?
No. This listing is for the selected base and mounting system. The LifeLike Mitral Valve Model is sold separately.
What is the difference between Regular and Large?
The two sizes correspond to the Regular and Large LifeLike Mitral Valve Models. Select the base size that matches the valve model you intend to use.
What is the difference between the mounting styles?
The Adjustable Suction Cup version attaches directly to a compatible smooth surface. The Extra Base & Velcro version includes a round platform for surfaces or training arrangements where suction mounting is unsuitable.
Can the valve position be adjusted?
Yes. Both mounting styles use an adjustable rotating fixture that allows the valve to be positioned at different working angles.
Which version is suitable for robotic surgery training?
The manufacturer recommends the Extra Base & Velcro configuration for robotic surgery training arrangements.
Are instruments and sutures included?
No. Mitral valve models, surgical instruments, sutures, robotic equipment and other consumables must be ordered separately.
