Fastest, most accurate measurement of transcatheter heart valve frames and similar products

Sierra 5th-Axis is explicitly designed to measure transcatheter heart valve frames and similar products, and it does it faster and more accurately than any competitor. It extends the proven capabilities of Sierra Dimensional to the THV industry by adding the ability to measure non-cylindrical features. Sierra 5th-Axis can measure tapered areas and barbs faster and more accurately than general purpose 5-axis measuring machines.
