An annuloplasty device is disclosed comprising first and second support rings having a coiled configuration, and respective first and second retention units, the first support ring transitions to the second support ring over a transition section, the transition section is adapted to be arranged at a commissure of the heart valve leaflets, the first and second support rings extend in respective first and second coil planes being essentially perpendicular to the central axis, the transition section bends at least partly along the central axis so that the first coil plane is separated a distance from the second coil plane along the central axis at the transition section.

Annuloplasty device

A method of repairing a defective heart valve is disclosed comprising directing an implant delivery catheter to form a first curve of the implant delivery catheter around chordae of the heart valve on a ventricular side of the heart valve, inserting the implant delivery catheter through the heart valve to an atrial side thereof, forming a second curve of the delivery catheter along an annulus of the heart valve on the atrial side, and ejecting an annuloplasty implant from the delivery catheter while retracting the delivery catheter such that the annuloplasty implant is arranged along the first and second curve on the ventricular and atrial side.

Method of repairing a defective heart valve

An annuloplasty device is disclosed comprising first and second support rings being configured to be arranged as a coil in a first configuration around an axial direction, wherein the first and second support rings are configured to be arranged on opposite sides of native heart valve leaflets of a heart valve, a stiffening unit, wherein at least part of the first and second support rings comprises an interior channel configured to receive the stiffening unit, wherein insertion of the stiffening unit into the interior channel increases the stiffness of the first and/or second support rings. A method of repairing a defective heart valve is also disclosed.

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 method of repairing a defective heart valve is disclosed including directing an implant delivery catheter to form a first curve of the implant delivery catheter around chordae of the heart valve on a ventricular side of the heart valve, inserting the implant delivery catheter through the heart valve to an atrial side thereof, forming a second curve of the delivery catheter along an annulus of the heart valve on the atrial side, and ejecting an annuloplasty implant from the delivery catheter while retracting the delivery catheter such that the annuloplasty implant is arranged along the first and second curve on the ventricular and atrial side.

A system for facilitating administration of transcranial stimulation. The system includes an electrode, the electrode including a counterpart configured to be attached to a headcap, a gel cup configured to be attached to the counterpart, an electrical conductor configured to be disposed within an interior space of the gel cup, and a gel pad. The gel pad is arranged to be in contact with the electrical conductor. Further, system includes a distributor, which includes at least one inlet for an aqueous solution, as well as a plurality of outlets in a fluid communication with the at least one inlet. Further, the plurality of outlets are configured to direct the aqueous solution towards the gel pad.

System for transcranial stimulation

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

A conductive implantable stimulation device for implantation at the head of a subject to treat a neurological disease, comprising a first passive conductive member, wherein the first member is sized and configured for being implanted under the skull bone of the patient, and wherein the first member comprises a conductive interface adapted for extracranial stimulation.

Implantable stimulation device

A medical device for holding a cardiac valve implant includes an elongate support defining a peripheral edge with a curvature about which the cardiac valve implant can be fitted. The elongate support includes a resilient portion for resiliently holding the cardiac valve implant in place in the device, and a support tool for holding a cardiac valve implant comprising first and second elongate support members being separate and radially movable in relation to each other, each having a curvature about which the cardiac valve implant can be fitted and a manipulator portion connected to the first and second elongate support members.

Medical device for a cardiac valve implant

A skin electrode for stimulation comprising a superporous hydrophilic material having a first relaxed state and a second expanded state. In the second expanded state the superporous hydrophilic material is breakable to at least partly enclose at least one hair, and an electrode surface for electrically stimulating the skin by driving current from the electrode surface through the hydrophilic material to the skin comprising the at least one hair.

Stimulation electrode

A system for transcranial stimulation of a head region of a subject includes an electrode arrangement having a plurality of electrodes coupled to an electrode drive arrangement. The electrodes are operable to contact onto a scalp of the head region of the subject and the drive arrangement is operable to generate electrical signals for driving the plurality of electrodes to cause transcranial stimulation of the head region of the subject. The system further includes a monitoring arrangement for monitoring spatial positions of the plurality of electrodes relative to the head region of the subject, and for indicating positional errors of the electrodes for enabling repositioning of the electrodes and/or a change in the electrical signals applied to the electrodes, for providing improved transcranial stimulation of the head region of the subject and/or mutual relative positions of the plurality of electrodes.
