Patent number: 11925552Abstract: A stent device with skirt folds and a processing method thereof, a skirt folding method, and a heart valve. The stent device comprises a stent (1, 105) and a flexible skirt (2, 107), the skirt (2, 107) having an expanded state, in which the skirt is axially extended and surrounds the stent (1, 105) before release thereof, and a folded state, in which the skirt is driven by the deformation caused when the stent (1, 105) is released, collapses and folds axially along the released stent (1, 105) so as to form an annular peripheral leakage-blocking portion. The peripheral leakage prevention technology enables an interventional stent to fit to the inner wall of a vessel more snugly, such that the stent does not easily move and is more stable, thereby being suitable for more people, reducing additional risks of surgery and preventing complications such as peripheral leakage and thrombus.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: VENUS MEDTECH (HANGZHOU), INC.Inventors: Dajun Kuang, Jesse Jun Qi, Min Frank Zeng, Jincheng Yu, Lo Pham, Lai Nguyen

Patent number: 11331185Abstract: A delivery system facilitating retrieval of interventional device includes a sheath, an operation handle for driving the sheath to move, and a tube axially slidably engaging with the pusher section. The sheath includes a carrier section at a proximal end for surrounding the interventional device and a pusher section connected with the carrier section. Depending on different axial positions, the tube assumes an initial configuration in which a proximal end portion thereof is at a periphery of the pusher section, and an operation configuration in which the proximal end portion is held tightly around the carrier section and limits further expansion of the carrier section. The delivery system functions to hold the support frame tightly by surrounding the sheath with the axially movable tube, retrieving the support frame and preventing the support frame from falling off from a core shaft, thereby reducing risks in surgery and the mortality rate.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2019Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: Venus Medtech (Hongzhou) IncInventors: Min Frank Zeng, Zhenjun Zi
