Abstract: A valve repair system for repairing a native valve of a patient during a non-open-heart procedure includes a delivery device and a valve repair device. The valve repair device include a pair of paddles, first gripping member, a second gripping member, and a spacer. First and second gripping member controls or first and second gripping member control portions are coupled to the first and second gripping members to move the gripping members. The spacer element is configured to close a gap in the native valve of the patient when the valve repair device is attached to the native valve.

Abstract: A valve repair device for repairing a native valve of a patient. The valve repair device includes a compressible spacer element, a pair of paddles, and a pair of gripping members.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for a valve assembly comprising a valve body, a valve element, a shaft, an engagement stop, an actuator housing, a manual lockout, and a lock. The valve body includes an inlet port, an outlet port, and a flow passage extending therebetween. The valve element is disposed within the valve body flow passage, and is movable between a closed position and a full-open position. The shaft is coupled to the valve element and extends through the valve body. The engagement stop is coupled to, and extends radially from, the shaft. The actuator housing at least partially surrounds the shaft. The manual lockout is configured, upon receipt of a torque, to selectively engage and disengage the engagement stop. The lock is coupled to the actuator housing, and is movable between a lock position and an unlock position.
