  • Patent number: 11622874
    Abstract: A guide cap and a loading system for loading an implant into a delivery system are disclosed which are capable of simplifying operations required in interventional surgery using the implant. The guide cap has a lumen passing therethrough and includes: a conical section; a straight or conical tube in communication with a small open end of the conical section; and a flange, wherein a large open end of the conical section flares outward and thereby forms the flange. The loading system includes a guider and the guide cap. During the process of loading the implant into the delivery system, the guide cap enables the valve prosthesis to be coupled to the connector of the delivery system and allows the valve prosthesis to be compressed so as to be entirely capsuled in the delivery system with relatively easy and quick operations, thereby reducing surgery time during its clinical use.

  • Publication number: 20220323216
    Abstract: The present invention provides a delivery device for medical implants. The delivery device has a detachable structure and includes a handle (3) and a catheter assembly (1) that are separated from each other. The handle (3) and the catheter assembly (1) are connected by a transmission shaft (2). By configuring the handle (3) and the catheter assembly (1) to be separated from each other, the catheter assembly (1) has less weight than that of a traditional delivery assembly, so that the operator can position the medical implant and adjust the position of the medical implant by moving only the catheter assembly (1). The catheter assembly (1) is lighter in weight and smaller in size, which improves the stability, precision and accuracy of the operation. Moreover, the impact of vibration and/or movement of the handle (3) on the catheter assembly (1) are avoided, which further improves the stability and thus the quality of the operation.

  • Publication number: 20220054265
    Abstract: A prosthetic valve delivery catheter and device. The delivery catheter includes an outer sheath assembly and an inner sheath assembly. The outer sheath assembly includes a capsule in which a prosthetic valve can be received and an outer sheath fixedly connected at one end to the capsule. The inner sheath assembly includes an inner sheath and an anchor fixedly connected to the inner sheath. The inner sheath assembly is arranged within a lumen of the outer sheath assembly, and the capsule and the anchor form a circumferentially indexed fit therebetween. With this design, the anchor and the capsule can be driven to rotate under the action of circumferential rotation of the inner sheath, thus the matching between the prosthetic valve and a native valve annulus can be adjusted. Moreover, the capsule can be driven to move axially under actuation of the outer sheath to allow release of the prosthetic valve.
