Abstract: Apparatus and methods for repairing a cardiac valve, e.g., a tricuspid valve, are provided. The apparatus may include a prosthetic device coupled to an elongated support coupled to a stent configured to be implanted within a vessel, e.g., the superior vena cava, to suspend and maintain the prosthetic device within the cardiac valve. The support may include a proximal, delivery portion detachably coupled, in a delivery state, to a distal, implantable portion coupled to the prosthetic device. The prosthetic device may be formed of biocompatible material coupled to a frame, and may have prosthetic leaflets that allows blood to flow therethrough in one direction during diastole, but prevents blood regurgitation during systole. The stent further may include features configured to resist migration of the stent within the vessel, as well as to prevent in-folding of the stent during deployment.

Abstract: Described is a medicament container carrier adapted to hold a first medicament container having a first predetermined size and capable of containing more than a first volume of a medicament. The container carrier comprises a body, and an adapter coupled to the body. The adapter is adapted to hold a second medicament container having a second predetermined size different from the first predetermined size and capable of containing no more than the first volume of the medicament.

Abstract: The invention relates to a single-use cassette assembly for use in a reusable solid dose formulation delivery actuator device. Such improvements permit delivery of at least one therapeutic or prophylactic compound, or a solid dose formulation including, for example, a vaccine comprising the same with improved safety and reliability. The invention further concerns an improved needle-free method for delivering at least one therapeutic compound or a formulation comprising the same.

Abstract: Apparatus for repairing a cardiac valve, e.g., a tricuspid valve, are provided. The apparatus may include a prosthetic device coupled to an elongated support to suspend and maintain the prosthetic device within the cardiac valve. The support may include a proximal, delivery portion detachably coupled a distal, implantable portion coupled to the prosthetic device, and two or more adjustable bends to facilitate navigation through the patient's anatomy. The adjustable bends may be selectively adjusted, components of the distal, implantable portion may be locked to each other, and the proximal, delivery portion may be detached from the distal, implantable portion responsive to actuation at a handle operatively coupled to the support. The prosthetic device may be formed of biocompatible material coupled to a frame, and may have prosthetic leaflets that allow blood flow in one direction during, e.g., diastole, but prevent blood regurgitation during, e.g., systole.
