Why ON-X
On-X Heart Valves represent the pinnacle of mechanical heart valve technology resulting in a unique heart valve with exceptional design and material features that are changing the way patients view heart valve replacement options.
Why Use Any Other Mechanical Valve When…

A Valve For Life
Patients younger than 70 years of age undergoing heart surgery with a mechanical heart valve live longer as compared to a tissue valve.5-7 Living longer is known as a “survival benefit” and this can be achieved with the On-X Aortic and Mitral Heart Valves made of pure pyrolytic carbon designed TO LAST A LIFETIME.5-9
On-X Aortic Valve
Clinically Proven To Be Safer
The On-X Aortic Heart Valve is the only mechanical heart valve FDA approved and clinically proven to be safer10 with less anticoagulation and INR level of 1.5 – 2.0.1,11*
87% Lower Bleeding Risk
With 87% reduced bleeding risk10, the On-X Aortic Valve is clinically proven to be safe at lower warfarin dosing and is the only aortic valve supported by the AHA/ACC guidelines11 to be safely managed 50% closer to a normal INR level of 1.5 – 2.0 (vs. 2.0 – 3.0 for other mechanical valves)12
On-X Mitral Valve
The Most Studied Mechanical Mitral Valve
The Prospective Randomized On-X Anticoagulation Clinical Trial (PROACT) Mitral Trial1 is one of the largest studies ever conducted with mechanical mitral valves. PROACT Mitral represents the most contemporary clinical data for any mechanical mitral valve; due to its size and scope, a similar study is likely to never be repeated.16
On-X Aortic Valve
Clinically Proven To Be Safer
The On-X Aortic Heart Valve is the only mechanical heart valve FDA approved and clinically proven to be safer10 with less anticoagulation and INR level of 1.5 – 2.0.1,11*
60% Less Reported Bleeding
With >60% less reported bleeding,10 On-X Aortic Heart Valve is clinically proven, and the only aortic valve supported by the AHA/ACC guidelines11 to be safely managed 50% closer to a normal INR level of 1.5 – 2.0 (vs. 2.0 – 3.0 for other mechanical valves)12
