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 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.

Medical securing device for securing an object 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 stitching device () is disclosed for stitching at a stitch site in a patient. The stitching device comprises a support structure () comprising, an elongate center support () extending along an axial direction () between a proximal end and a distal end, a stitching arrangement () comprising, at least one elongate linkage section () being movably attached at a support end () of the linkage section to the center support, and at least one stitching member () arranged at a stitch end () of the linkage section and being movable along said axial direction by a pivoting action of the linkage section.

Stitching device

A stapling device () for attaching a clip () to tissue is disclosed comprising a sheath () having a distal end () for delivery of said clip, a pusher unit (') being movable inside said sheath along a longitudinal direction () of said sheath, said distal end comprising a clip guide (&#x2032;) in which said clip is movable in said longitudinal direction, wherein said clip guide has a closed (G) configuration in which said clip guide is adapted to apply a restraining force on said clip so that said clip assumes a delivery shape (C), and an open (G&#x2032;) configuration in which said clip assumes a relaxed shape (C&#x2032;), wherein said pusher unit is movable from a proximal position (P) in which said clip guide is in said closed configuration, to a distal position (P&#x2032;) in which said pusher unit engages said clip guide and the clip guide is in said open configuration. The clip guide comprises a first and a second clip guide arranged at radially opposite peripheries of the sheath and extending in the longitudinal direction.

Stapling device

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.
