Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) is a potentially deadly but preventable disease affecting at least 40 million people around the world – mostly in developing countries. Once patients become symptomatic, open-heart surgery is currently the only treatment. In developing countries, this is usually not feasible from a medical infrastructure, medical skills or cost perspective.

Strait Access Technologies™ (SAT)'s innovative RHD medical solutions eliminate this requirement for open-heart surgery. SAT’s heart valves are suited for younger RHD patients in whom conventional heart valve prostheses often degenerate rapidly.

SAT technology offers cost-effective and minimally-invasive transcatheter heart therapies, allowing RHD patients to undergo life-saving treatment where there is currently no alternative option.
