Abstract
To provide a valve cusp sizer which is small and easy to handle. The present invention relates to a valve cusp sizerfor determining the size of a valve cusp depending on the size of a cardiac valve. The valve cusp sizerincludes a front surfaceformed in an arcuate surface form to be abutted against an organism, a back surfacepositioned on an opposite surface side of the front surfaceand a pinching portionprotruding from the back surfaceBy removing a grip member and a grip member attachment portion from a conventional valve cusp sizer in this manner, and by forming the pinching portionto be held by a clamp, tweezers, or the like, it is possible to dramatically miniaturize the valve cusp sizer while maintaining necessary functions of the valve cusp sizer.
