Patent number: 10792029Abstract: A bone suture assembly including a flexible generally cylindrical sleeve, a plurality of lengths of suture extending through the generally cylindrical sleeve, and at least one sleeve securing thread associated with the generally cylindrical sleeve. A bone suture retaining method including engaging a suture with a bone engaging sleeve, inserting the suture and the bone engaging sleeve engaged thereby into a transosseous tunnel formed into a bone by pulling the bone engaging sleeve into the transosseous tunnel and retaining the suture and the bone engaging sleeve in the transosseous tunnel by virtue of the bone engaging sleeve being unable to fit through an aperture in the bone.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2015Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: MININVASIVE LTD.Inventors: Boaz Harari, Mordehai Sholev, Ronen Raz, Arnon Mousaiuf, Dror Rosner, Paul Mraz

Patent number: 9974653Abstract: Apparatus is provided, including an intracardiac annuloplasty structure configured for placement on an annulus of a heart valve, a first rotatable ring coupled to the annuloplasty structure and a second rotatable ring coupled to the annuloplasty structure. The first and second rotatable rings are arranged such that the first rotatable ring is rotatable to contract the annuloplasty structure while the second rotatable ring remains stationary, and the second rotatable ring is rotatable to contract the annuloplasty structure while the first rotatable ring remains stationary. Other embodiments are also described.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2016Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: Valtech Cardio, Ltd.Inventors: Amir Gross, Iftah Beinart, Eran Miller, Oz Cabiri, Eliahu Eliachar, Nir Lilach, Ram Grossfeld, Dmitry Golom, Gideon Meyer-Brodnitz, Arnon Mousaiuf

Patent number: 9883943Abstract: Apparatus is provided, including a plurality of helical tissue anchors and an intracardiac annuloplasty structure defining a plane for placement on a heart valve annulus. The annuloplasty structure includes a plurality of compressible subunits, and a plurality of anchor mounts alternately disposed with respect to the plurality of compressible subunits. Each anchor mount (a) defines at least one opening for passage therethrough of a respective helical tissue anchor, (b) defines a path for passage therethrough of the helical tissue anchor, the path being aligned along an axis that is at a non-zero angle with respect to the plane of the annuloplasty structure, and (c) provides a structural element in the path for corkscrewing a distal portion of the helical tissue anchor therearound. Other embodiments are also described.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2016Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: Valtech Cardio, Ltd.Inventors: Amir Gross, Iftah Beinart, Eran Miller, Oz Cabiri, Eliahu Eliachar, Nir Lilach, Ram Grossfeld, Dmitry Golom, Gideon Meyer-Brodnitz, Arnon Mousaiuf

Patent number: 9872769Abstract: Apparatus is provided, including an intracardiac annuloplasty structure. A first adjustment member has an end at a first location at first portions of the annuloplasty structure that are opposite each other. A second adjustment member has an end at a second location at the second portions of the annuloplasty structure that are opposite each other. The annuloplasty structure, the first-adjustment-member end, and the second-adjustment-member end are disposed within a catheter during delivery. After delivery, the first-adjustment-member end is moveable with respect to the annuloplasty structure toward and away from a plane of the annuloplasty structure to adjust a relative disposition of the first portions, and the second-adjustment-member end is moveable independently of the first-adjustment-member end and with respect to the annuloplasty structure toward and away from the plane to adjust a relative disposition of the second portions. Other embodiments are also described.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2016Date of Patent: January 23, 2018Assignee: Valtech Cardio, Ltd.Inventors: Amir Gross, Iftah Beinart, Eran Miller, Oz Cabiri, Eliahu Eliachar, Nir Lilach, Ram Grossfeld, Dmitry Golom, Gideon Meyer-Brodnitz, Arnon Mousaiuf
