Abstract: A system includes a pre-sized prosthetic chordae, a papillary penetration member, and a female securing member. The pre-sized prosthetic chordae is directly connected to an attachment member. The papillary penetration member extends through both the chordae and the attachment member. The female securing member receives the penetration member. The penetration member is an axis about which the chordae pivot.

Abstract: A pre-sized prosthetic chordae assembly includes a male attachment unit and a female securing member. The male attachment unit includes a plurality of pre-sized prosthetic chordae fixedly connected to at least one male attachment member and a papillary muscle penetration member that is connected to and extends substantially axial to the at least one male attachment member. The female securing member is for receiving the papillary penetration member.

Abstract: A beverage stirring device comprising: a frame for supporting the beverage stirring device relative to a work surface, the frame comprising a longitudinal axis extending substantially perpendicular to the work surface; a motor comprising a housing and a drive shaft rotatable relative to the housing, the drive shaft being substantially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the frame; a weight eccentrically mounted to the drive shaft; at least one spring for movably mounting the housing of the motor to the frame; and a container-receiving surface connected to the housing of the motor for receiving a beverage container, the container-receiving surface extending substantially parallel to the work surface and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the frame, whereby operation of the motor imparts a gyrating motion to a beverage container seated on the container-receiving surface, so as to stir a beverage contained in the beverage container.

Abstract: A prosthetic chordae assembly includes a plurality of equally-sized, interconnected loop members formed from a single strand of a biocompatible material. Each of the loop members includes first and second ends respectively defining a first arcuate junction and a second arcuate junction. The prosthetic chordae assembly is adjustable to a pre-determined length by removing one of the loop members.
