  • Patent number: 11957583
    Abstract: A delivery device for cardiac valve repair implants includes a delivery catheter and an extension member protruding from a distal end of the delivery catheter. The delivery device further includes a control arm assembly having pairs of control arms. Each pair includes a proximal control arm drivable from a handle assembly of the delivery device and a distal arm coupled to a distal end of the proximal control arm and a distal end of the extension member. Proximally driving each of the proximal control arms of the control arm assembly results in expansion of the control arm assembly and corresponding expansion of a cardiac valve repair implant coupled to the control arm assembly.

  • Publication number: 20220183840
    Abstract: A valve implant includes an occlusive assembly and a frame coupled to the occlusive assembly. The frame transitions from a collapsed state to an expanded state about a central longitudinal axis and transitioning from the collapsed state to the expanded state causes a proximal end of the frame to expand radially outward from the central longitudinal axis. The valve implant further includes an outer sheet supported on a proximal portion of the frame. The occlusive assembly is supported on a distal portion of the frame such that the inner sheet extends about the central longitudinal axis and an annular opening is defined between the outer sheet and the inner sheet when the frame is in the expanded state.

  • Patent number: 11266502
    Abstract: A cardiac valve repair implant, wherein the implant includes a central occluder, and frame and a thin sheet. The central occluder includes a central longitudinal axis. The frame extends proximally from the central occluder and is centered about and forms a circumference around the central longitudinal axis of the central occluder. The frame self-biases from a collapsed state to an expanded state. A proximal end of the frame projects proximally when the frame is in the collapsed state. The proximal end of the frame projects radially outward away from the central longitudinal axis of the central occluder when the frame is in the expanded state. The thin sheet is supported on a proximal portion of the frame. When the frame is in the expanded state, the thin sheet forms an annular surface defining an inner circular opening centered about the central longitudinal axis of the central occluder.
