Publication number: 20140188217Abstract: A kit for implanting a prosthetic vascular conduit includes a prosthetic vascular conduit for coupling to a prosthetic valve having an annular portion. The conduit includes a terminal collar member for receiving the valve. The kit further includes a holder including a shaft and a hub including a receiving portion configured for housing a prosthetic valve. The conduit is fitted on the holder so that at least a portion of the conduit wraps over the receiving portion of the hub. A sleeve member fitted onto the conduit in a position corresponding to the receiving portion of the hub, and a portion of the collar member is wrapped or folded over the sleeve member. The sleeve member is slidable away from the hub to unwrap the collar member such that it is disposed around the annular portion of a prosthetic valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2014Publication date: July 3, 2014Applicant: Sorin Group Italia S.r.I.Inventors: Giovanni Rolando, Paolo Gaschino, Monica Achiluzzi, Felice Giuseppe Carlino

Publication number: 20110268608Abstract: An oxygenator combines, in a single structure, a heat exchanger, a gas exchanger and an arterial filter. Such an oxygenator permits fewer fluid connections and thus may simplify an extracorporeal blood circuit, including a heart-lung machine and a blood reservoir, in which it is used. In some cases, the oxygenator may be configured to include multiple purge ports for purging bubbles both before and after filtering the blood.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2010Publication date: November 3, 2011Applicant: Sorin Group Italia S.r.I.Inventors: Stefano Reggiani, Claudio Silvestri, Alberto Giri
