Publication number: 20240148504Abstract: A catheter device for implanting a medical implant such as a prosthetic heart valve has a handle configured to control/steer multiple sheaths of the catheter device. A handle includes a grip portion, a rotatable deployment knob and a traveler. An outer sheath is connected to the traveler and the deployment knob is operatively connected to the traveler such that the traveler and thereby the outer sheath are moved along the longitudinal axis with respect to the inner sheath. The handle includes a rotatable axial positioning knob and a rotatable deflection knob. The deployment knob is arranged proximally to the axial positioning knob.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2022Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Jeff Alan Burke, Peter D'Aquanni, Andy Edward Denison, Christopher Scott Hayden, Markus Foerster, Michael Walther, Gereon Kindler, Lukas Frey, Ole Blank, Calvin Bahr

SHAPED BODY WITH COLLAGEN-CONTAINING COMPOSITE MATERIAL FOR INTRODUCTION INTO A BONE DEFECT LOCATION
Publication number: 20130251755Abstract: The shaped body is intended for introduction into an alveolar space or into another bone defect location. A composite material with at least a first material component in the form of a collagen material and a second material component in the form of a bone replacement material is provided for the shaped body. The collagen material forms a matrix, in which the bone replacement material is embedded, distributed non-homogeneously, so that a local collagen proportion based on any desired part volume of 30 mm3 is at least 10% everywhere and a global collagen proportion based on the total volume is in the range between 30% and 95%. The shaped body is compressible. A local bone replacement proportion based, in each case, on a part volume of 30 mm3 has its maximum value at an edge face and decreases inwardly proceeding from the edge face, a BRM zone provided with bone replacement material extending into the interior proceeding from the edge face.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2012Publication date: September 26, 2013Applicant: Resorba Wundversrgung GmbH & Co.
