A method for connecting an annuloplasty implant with a delivery and retrieval device includes retracting the annuloplasty implant towards a locking structure of the delivery and retrieval device with a retrieval element. The retrieval element connects the annuloplasty implant with the delivery and retrieval device when the annuloplasty implant is disconnected from the delivery and retrieval device. A complementary mating surface at an end portion of the annuloplasty implant is interlocked with a locking structure of the delivery and retrieval device. The complementary mating surface has a recess for locking longitudinal movement of the annuloplasty implant when it is received in the locking structure. The complementary mating surface has a first locking surface aligned in a first radial direction (R) to lock rotational movement of the annuloplasty implant, when received in the locking structure, around the longitudinal direction.

Medical device for a cardiac valve implant

Disclosed is a medical system for short time replacement and repair of a native valve, which comprises an artificial valve (); and a device for collecting and arranging chordae and/or leaflets to hold and/or stabilize the artificial valve in a desired position, the device comprising: a unit for grasping a plurality of chordae and/or leaflets. The system and/or device allows for fast and easy replacement of a native valve, fast and easy positioning of a temporary artificial valve, and more time for medical personnel to make decisions, prepare and/or perform surgery/medical intervention.

Medical system, a device for collecting chordae and/or leaflets and a method therefor

A delivery device for an annuloplasty implant is disclosed comprising an outer sheath, a delivery wire being movable within said sheath in a longitudinal direction thereof, a holder being releasably connectable to said implant, said holder being pivotably connected to a distal portion of said delivery wire, wherein said holder is folded inside said outer sheath in a delivery configuration, and wherein said holder is foldable from said delivery configuration to an expanded deployed configuration outside said outer sheath. A system comprising such delivery device and an annuloplasty implant, and a method of delivering such implant is also disclosed.

Delivery device for an annuloplasty implant

A medical device for delivering and retrieving a medical implant is disclosed comprising a sheath, a wire having a distal end and being movable in a lumen of the sheath in a longitudinal direction of the sheath. The distal end comprises a locking structure for receiving and interlock with a complementary mating surface of a medical implant, wherein the locking structure comprises a first locking surface aligned in a first radial direction to lock rotational movement of the implant, when received in the locking structure, around the longitudinal direction. The wire comprises a pivotable locking portion having an open and a closed position, the locking portion has a locking structure with a recess locking movement of the implant, when received in the locking structure, in the longitudinal direction, when the locking portion is in the closed position.

Medical device for cardiac valve implant

A delivery system and method for delivery of an annuloplasty implant for a patient are disclosed. The delivery system comprises a commissure locator device for locating a commissure, comprising; an extension member, a catheter, and wherein the extension member is extendable relative the catheter for location of at least one commissure of a cardiac valve, and a coronary sinus contractor for temporary insertion into the coronary sinus (CS) and having a displacement unit being temporarily transferable to an activated state in Which the shape of the annulus Of the heart valve is modified to a modified shape to be retained by said annuloplasty implant.

System and a method for delivery of an annuloplasty implant

A medical securing device for securing an object with a securing member into a tissue comprises an elongated sheath with proximal and distal ends, and a securing member introduction device having proximal and distal ends. The securing member comprises first and second ends. The distal end of the securing member introduction device is configured to extend the second end of the securing member from the sheath and introduce it to or through the tissue via an introduction movement so to secure the portion of the securing member to the object and/or to the tissue. This is advantageously configured to happen without extending the securing member introduction device through the tissue whereupon no extra hole is made to the tissue by the securing member introduction device.

Medical securing device for securing an object with a securing member

A medical securing device for securing an object with a securing member into a tissue comprises an elongated sheath comprising proximal and distal ends, and a securing member introduction device having proximal and distal ends, said distal end being configured to extend from the sheath. The medical securing device comprises also a guiding trail. At least one point of the securing member introduction device is configured to travel along said first guiding trail and thereby control a defined movement of the distal end of said securing member introduction device when extending from the sheath and so to introduce the securing member to the object and to secure said object to the tissue with the securing member.

A medical securing, such as a suturing device () for securing a cardiac implant device (A,B) with a securing member (), like a suture. The medical securing device comprises an elongated sheath () extending in a longitudinal direction and having proximal (A) and distal (B) ends. The distal end of the elongated sheath has a support portion (C) to support the elongated sheath to the cardiac implant device and/or to the tissue (). The medical securing device comprises also a securing member introduction device () extending from the sheath () and having proximal (A) and distal (B) ends. The distal end (B) of the securing member introduction device () is configured to deliver the securing member () to the cardiac implant device and to secure the cardiac implant device to the annulus () of the valve with the securing member ().

Medical securing device for securing a cardiac implant device with a securing member

A medical system for repairing a mitral valve comprising a catheter () with a temporary valve (), a commissure locator device (), wherein the commissure locator device and the temporary valve are connected, and an annuloplasty implant ().

System for cardiac valve repair

An annuloplasty implant comprises a plurality of individual wires, each extending in a longitudinal direction of the implant between first and second opposite ends of the implant. A locking unit arranged at at least one of the ends comprises a locking structure connected to the plurality of individual wires, thereby collecting said plurality of individual wires together at at least one of the ends. The locking structure is configured to allow a relative movement between at least two of the plurality of individual wires inside the locking structure.

Annuloplasty implant

An annuloplasty device for repairing a heart valve comprises a first and a second support member that overlap each other and form a scissor linkage. The first and second support members are configured to pinch leaflets of the heart valve.

Annuloplasty system

A clip having a delivery shape and an implanted shape has a first and a second leg joined at their distal ends at a distal point of the clip. The distal point forms a tapered shape of the clip and is adapted to pierce tissue. Proximal ends of the first and second legs are spaced apart in the delivery shape by a first distance. The proximal ends are compressible to the implanted shape in which the legs are spaced apart by a second distance that is shorter than the first distance. A related delivery device, a related system, and a delivery method are also disclosed.
