Abstract: A medical valve implant includes an implant structure fastened to a base body. The base body has cells that extend in a circumferential direction of a valve implant. An end section bulges in a curved shape outwardly in a radial direction of the base body. The end section has a larger diameter than an axially adjacent collar portion of the base body. A collar includes a first cell structure provided to form, in an intended end state, an intended inner cross-section of the base body that is matched to an intended outer cross section of the implant structure. A holding device extends axially from and beyond the cells. The holding device includes a leg directly connected to a terminal end of one of the cells and a head at an opposite end of the leg. One or both of the leg and the head is canted radially inward toward a geometric center of the base body.

Abstract: A medical valve implant having a medical heart valve fastened to a base body, the base body having a circumferential arrangement of cells with a proximal end and a distal end to provide inflow and outflow sections when implanted, where some of the cells at the distal end are connected to holding devices that cant inward. Within the cells can be smaller cells having two halves configured for outward movement relative to the larger surrounding cell.

Abstract: A medical valve implant comprising: an implant structure configured as a medical valve; and a base body that includes a collar extending in a circumferential direction around the implant structure, wherein the collar includes a first cell structure composed of a plurality of cells forming an inner cross section of the base body that is matched to an outer cross section of the implant structure, characterized in that the collar includes a second cell structure fastened to an inner contour of a cell of the first cell structure at two fastening points and configured to move radially outward relative to the first cell structure so that an outer contour of the base body is formed by the first cell structure and the second cell structure.

Abstract: A crimping tool and method for reducing an external dimension of a compressible prosthetic device, the crimping tool comprising a first member comprising a first control surface collapsible between a first state and a second state, the first member having a first open end configured for introducing the prosthetic device when the first control surface is in the first state, and a second open end configured for allowing locking of the prosthetic device when introduced into the first member; an engagement portion that moves the first control surface from the first state to the second state; and an actuator portion for moving the first member along the longitudinal axis allowing the engagement portion to interact with the first member.

Abstract: The invention relates to a medical valve implant for implantation in the animal body and/or human body, comprising a support frame that includes a first end and a second end, which are disposed on opposite ends of the support frame in a main extension direction of support frame. According to the invention, one or more auxiliary devices that are required for implantation and/or that serve a functional purpose for a limited time and are intended to remain in the body after implantation are formed, at least in sections, of a material that can decompose in the body.
