Mitral valve repair and chordae reconstruction training with simulated P2 prolapse
The LifeLike Mitral Valve Model reproduces key leaflet, annular and chordal structures for practising anterior and posterior leaflet repair, P2 prolapse correction and advanced mitral valve reconstruction.
LifeLike Mitral Valve Training Model
Designed for cardiothoracic surgical education, this model provides a practical platform for developing and evaluating mitral valve repair, reconstruction and suturing skills.
The valve features simulated posterior leaflet P2 prolapse. The chordal structures on the complete model can be torn or divided to create additional repair scenarios and support chordae tendineae reconstruction training.
Choose the Valve Only configuration for leaflet, annular and valve suturing exercises, or select the model with Papillary Muscles & Chordae for a more complete subvalvular training environment.
Training applications
P2 prolapse repair
Practise techniques used to address simulated prolapse of the posterior leaflet P2 segment.
Leaflet repair
Develop anterior and posterior leaflet suturing, reconstruction and tissue-handling skills.
Chordae repair
Use the complete model to practise repairing or reconstructing intentionally damaged chordae tendineae.
Annular suturing
Practise controlled suture placement and spacing around the simulated mitral annulus.
Valve reconstruction
Develop needle control, tissue approximation and reconstructive technique within a structured cardiac training exercise.
Skills evaluation
Use consistent anatomical dimensions for teaching demonstrations, deliberate practice and competency assessment.

Use with the matching Mitral Valve Base
The separately available LifeLike Mitral Valve Base holds the model securely and allows its working angle to be adjusted during repair and suturing exercises.
Select the Regular base for Regular valve models and the Large base for Large valve models. The Large valve will not fit the Regular base.
Suction-cup and extra-base configurations are available for traditional, minimally invasive and robotic training arrangements.

Frequently asked questions
What condition does the model simulate?
The LifeLike Mitral Valve Model features simulated prolapse of the posterior leaflet P2 segment for mitral valve repair training.
What is included with the complete version?
The complete configuration includes the valve, chordae tendineae and papillary muscle structures. The chordae can be intentionally torn or cut to create repair exercises.
What is the difference between Regular and Large?
The Regular model measures 61 × 55 mm overall, while the Large model measures 81 × 75 mm. The Large version also has larger leaflet and annular dimensions.
Which base do I need?
Choose the Regular Mitral Valve Base for a Regular valve and the Large base for a Large valve. The Large valve does not fit the Regular base.
Is the Mitral Valve Base included?
No. This listing includes the selected valve model only. The adjustable Mitral Valve Base is available separately.
Can institutions order multipacks?
Yes. Manufacturer 10- and 20-packs are available for institutional training programmes. Contact SurgiSim for a volume quotation.
