  • Cultured cell leaflet material
    Patent number: 10405975
    Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve provided herein can include a cultured cell tissue leaflet. In some cases, a prosthetic heart valve can include a plurality of leaflets secured together and retained within the expandable tubular member. The cultured cell tissue can be obtained by culturing fibroblast cells, smooth muscle cells, or a combination thereof to form a sheet of cultured cells and chemically cross-linking the fibroblast cells while under tension. In some cases, the cultured cell tissue can be radially tensioned. In some cases, the cultured cell tissue can be bi-axially tensioned.
    Type: Grant

  • Kidney capsule leaflet material
    Patent number: 10231830
    Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve provided herein can include a kidney capsule tissue leaflet. In some cases, a prosthetic heart valve can include a plurality of leaflets secured together and retained within the expandable tubular member. The kidney capsule tissue can be obtained from a farm animal, such as a cow, pig, horse, goat, or sheep. In some cases, the kidney capsule tissue can be tensioned (e.g., bi-axially tensioned) and/or chemically cross-linked.

  • Porcine small intestine submucosa leaflet material
    Patent number: 10195024
    Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve provided herein can include a porcine small intestine submucosa (P-SIS) tissue leaflet. The P-SIS tissue can include multiple stacked layers that are tensioned and cross-linked to form a material having a thickness of between 50 microns and 0.33 mm. In some cases, a prosthetic heart valve can include a plurality of leaflets secured together and retained within the expandable tubular member.
