The Company's main product is the Tiara, a transcatheter mitral valve device used to treat mitral valve disease. The Tiara, which the Company started developing in the second quarter of 2011, can be implanted through minimally invasive surgery to individuals who experience mitral regurgitation as a result of mitral heart valve disease.
