Abstract: This invention relates to the design and function of a single-tether compressible valve replacement prosthesis which can be deployed into a beating heart without extracorporeal circulation using a transcatheter delivery system. The design as discussed combats the process of wear on anchoring tethers over time by using a plurality of stent-attached, centering tethers, which are themselves attached to a single anchoring tether, which extends through the ventricle and is anchored to a securing device located on the epicardium.

Abstract: The present invention is product and method for treating wounds, or enhancing wound healing, by contacting the wound with biomaterial or tissue that has been treated with a boron and copper composition.

Abstract: This invention relates to the design and function of a compressible valve replacement prosthesis, collared or uncollared, which can be deployed into a beating heart without extracorporeal circulation using a transcatheter delivery system. The design as discussed focuses on the deployment of a device via a minimally invasive fashion and by way of example considers a minimally invasive surgical procedure preferably utilizing the intercostal or subxyphoid space for valve introduction. In order to accomplish this, the valve is formed in such a manner that it can be compressed to fit within a delivery system and secondarily ejected from the delivery system into the annulus of a target valve such as a mitral valve or tricuspid valve.

Abstract: The present invention is an improved implant made from regenerative tissue or natural tissue, methods of making the implant, and methods of using the implant.

Abstract: A method for treating at least one of an ophthalmic artery or an ostium between the ophthalmic artery and an internal carotid artery of a subject may include delivering a microcatheter to a location within vasculature of the subject. The method may further include delivering a filter to a location within at least one of the ophthalmic artery or the ostium and transitioning the filter between a first delivery configuration and a second deployed configuration. Further, the method may include deploying a stent to a location within the internal carotid artery.

Abstract: Biocompatible phase invertible proteinaceous compositions and methods for making and using the same are provided. The subject phase invertible compositions are prepared by combining a proteinaceous substrate and a crosslinking agent, such as a stabilized aldehyde crosslinking agent. Also provided are kits for use in preparing the subject compositions. The subject compositions, kits and systems find use in a variety of different applications.
