Abstract: Delivery devices for delivery of a stented prosthetic heart valve. Various delivery devices include an outer sheath assembly including an outer sheath connected to a capsule that is advanced proximally to retain the prosthetic valve, which is secured over an inner shaft assembly of the delivery device. The delivery device further includes a bumper to provide a smooth transition of the capsule over the prosthetic valve during loading and recapture procedures. The bumper is expandable from a first position to a second position in which a distal end of the bumper is expanded to increase its diameter. The bumper can be biased in the second, expanded position so that the bumper automatically transitions to the expanded position upon retraction of the outer sheath.

Abstract: Delivery devices for a stented prosthetic heart valve. The delivery device includes a spindle, at least one cord, and a covering feature associated with the spindle for selectively covering at least a portion of a stented prosthetic heart valve tethered to the spindle in a delivery state. In some embodiments, the covering feature includes a tip mounted to the spindle. The tip can include an overhang region for selectively covering a portion of the stented prosthetic heart valve. In other embodiments, the tip can include a tip body and a compressible foam bumper. In yet other embodiments, the covering feature includes an outer sheath arranged to selectively cover the stented prosthetic heart valve. The outer sheath can be elastic and stretchable for recapturing a partially expanded prosthesis, for example by including one or more windows covered by a stretchable covering layer.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for facilitation of efficient processing of a plurality of electronic message packets communicated to an application via a network from a plurality of message sources. The facilitation involves receiving each of the plurality of electronic message packets from the network, and storing, upon receipt thereof, each of the received electronic message packets in a single buffer irrespective of which message source of the plurality of message sources each of the received electronic message packets originated from, the single buffer being accessible by the application.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for facilitation of deterministic management of a plurality of electronic message packets communicated to an application via a network from a plurality of message sources. The facilitation involves an electronic message packet from the network, determining data indicative of order the electronic message packet was received relative to previously received electronic message packets, and providing the order to the application.
