Mechanical valve

Japanese: 機械弁 - キカイベン
Mechanical valve
A type of artificial valve used in valve replacement surgery for valvular heart disease. It is made from alloys such as carbon fiber and stainless steel and titanium. It is more durable than a biological valve, but it is prone to blood clots, so patients need to continue taking anticoagulants.
