Abstract:
Described embodiments are directed toward prosthetic valve leaflets of a particular shape that allows redundant coaptation height in the leaflets when a planar segment is present in each leaflet.

Claim (Index 19):
A method of forming a prosthetic heart valve, the method comprising:\n coupling a film to a leaflet frame; and forming the film into a plurality of leaflets, each leaflet including a leaflet free edge and a leaflet base opposite from the leaflet free edge, each leaflet having a planar zone in a central region, wherein the planar zone is substantially planar, wherein the planar zone defines a shape having an area, wherein the area is larger nearer the leaflet base than the leaflet free edge, wherein the planar zone extends to the leaflet free edge to define an apex with zero width, each leaflet having a vertical coaptation zone defining a coaptation height as a length of the coaptation zone measured in an axial direction, wherein the coaptation height is greater than zero.
