Abstract: A device, potentially implantable in a living organism, intended to utilize at least a part of the hydraulic energy generated by the heart (10)—the primary unit—at the natural phases of work when the cavities of the heart (11, 12 and 16, 17) are filed with blood. The device includes at least one secondary unit (24), which is connectable to the cardiovascular system of the organism and arranged to utilize said hydraulic energy. The secondary unit is represented by at least one hydraulic motor (24a) arranged to transfer the hydraulic energy to a transferal organ (28). The transferal organ (28) is arranged to influence at least one tertiary unit, for example an executive device (29), which is constructed in order to convert the transferred energy to an alternative form of energy, with the purpose to influence certain defined functions within the organism. Preferably is arranged a regulating device (30) in order to control running parameters of the unit.

Abstract: Suction tube for surgical purposes, especially for draining of body compartments in connection to an organ, which suction tube comprise an inner tube, whose distal end is open and a outer tube, provided with a peripherally arranged holes, wherein the outer tube exhibits a cross section having at least one essentially flat side, being faced against the organ during draining.

Abstract: A holder for an artificial heart valve includes a holder body, a handle, and a safety member. The holder body is configured to selectively couple to the heart valve. The handle extends from the holder body. The safety member is spaced apart from the holder body, and extends from the handle and is configured to mate with the heart valve in exactly one orientation. The safety member prevents the holder body from mating with the heart valve in other orientations.

Abstract: A device intended to be used for opening of the chest during heart operations or other surgical procedures, said device comprising a pair of substantially opposed hook - provided (3,4) plates (1,2) intended to grip about opposite incision edges of the operations incision, said hook - provided plates (1,2) are interconnected by a frame structure (6) or the like, which is provided with first adjusting members (7) for adjusting the relative distance between the hook - provided plates (1,2). At least one hook - provided plate, (1) is via a hinge (8), arranged substantially parallel with the gripping direction of the respective hook - provided plate connected to a member (9) provided with an adjusting screw (10), which is arranged to act upon said hook - provided plate (1) to tilt this about the hinge (8) and lift the respective incision edge away from the underlying body tissues. Thus an asymmetric opening of the chest is achieved.
