Appl. No.:

09/852988

Inventors:

Dong Shin - Poway CA, US
Vincenzo Cassolaro - Saluggia, IT
Andrea Mariotto - Turin, IT

Assignee:

Sorin Biomedica Cardio S.p.A. - Saluggia

International Classification:

A61F002/06

US Classification:

623 111, 623 123, 606108, 604 9601

Abstract:

A process for setting an angioplasty stent on a corresponding insertion element, such as a delivery catheter, in which the angioplasty stent is subjected to an action of radial contraction. The stent is in a radially contracted state before being placed on the insertion element. Preferably, radial contraction of the stent results in a diameter at least marginally smaller than the diameter of the insertion element, e. g. , a balloon catheter. After the stent has been set on the insertion element, in the structure of the stent there remain residual states of constraint which act in the direction of securing the stent in the condition of coupling to the insertion element.

International Classification:

A61F 2/24

US Classification:

623 211

Abstract:

An instrument for positioning a cardiac valve prosthesis in a vessel includes a wire element to slidingly guide the valve prosthesis towards an implantation site and an expandable element coupled to the wire element. The expandable element is expandable in the vessel to position the wire element in association with the implantation site. A method for positioning a cardiac valve prosthesis includes securing a delivery instrument at an appropriate location at the implantation site and delivering the valve prosthesis to the implantation site using the delivery instrument.

Inventors:

Giovanni Righini - Gland, CH
Cindy TRINH - San Marcos CA, US
Dong lk SHIN - Poway CA, US

International Classification:

A61F 2/24
A61M 25/00

Abstract:

A device for implanting a heart prosthesis including a central body, a containment portion having one or more sub-components, and a release device for the central body capable of being inserted into a catheter. A device for assisting the connection operation between the central body and the sub-components of the containment portion includes an assembly of catheters, of which there are at least two catheters for each sub-component of the containment portion, the catheters being joined to each other over a portion thereof and having at least one free end for each catheter.

International Classification:

A61M 39/06
A61B 17/34

Abstract:

A valve assembly for instruments and/or guide wires for use as access/tool port includes a cannula attached to a valve housing with a through hole. Elastic valve members are housed in the valve housing for sealing the through hole either when no device is inserted, or when a specific device with a compatible cross section is inserted. A further sealing arrangement is housed in the valve housing. The further sealing arrangement is extendable within the valve housing to selectively reduce the width of the through hole from a non-sealed configuration where one generic device or a group of generic devices, not necessarily having the same size and/or shape, can be inserted into and/or removed from the through hole, to a sealed configuration where the sealing arrangement seals the through hole with the generic device or the group of generic devices inserted into the through hole.

International Classification:

A61M 25/10
A61M 25/00

Abstract:

A percutaneously-insertable catheter () for administering an active agent to a body site, the catheter comprising: a distal portion () expandable from a contracted condition of introduction to a deployed administering condition, to stabilize the distal end () of the catheter () at the body site of administration, and—a flexible tubular element () coupled to said distal end () of the catheter () for receiving the active agent and administering it to the body. The flexible element () comprises an outer tubular element () and an inner tubular element () inserted into the outer tubular element (), with one () of the outer tubular element () and the inner tubular element () provided with notches () which enable its spinal column-like curvature towards the body site of administration.
