  • Publication number: 20250105283
    Abstract: Embodiments of secondary batteries having electrode assemblies are provided. A secondary battery can comprise an electrode assembly having a stacked series of layers, the stacked series of layers having an offset between electrode and counter-electrode layers in a unit cell member of the stacked series. A set of constraints can be provided with a primary constraint system with first and second primary growth constraints separated from each other in a longitudinal direction, and connected by at least one primary connecting member, and a secondary constraint system comprises first and second secondary growth constraints separated in a second direction and connected by members of the stacked series of layers. The primary constraint system may at least partially restrain growth of the electrode assembly in the longitudinal direction, and the secondary constraint system may at least partially restrain growth in the second direction that is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction.

  • Publication number: 20250082916
    Abstract: A flushing and hemostasis apparatus for a trans-catheter surgical procedure may be provided with an elongated body. A seal assembly may be located at a proximal end of the elongated body and configured to receive a distal end of an implant loading tool therethrough. A valve assembly may be located at a distal end of the elongated body and may include a flush port. In some embodiments, the valve assembly is configured to move between an open position in which the flush port is in fluid communication with the mid-section of the elongated body and a closed position in which the distal end of the elongated body is sealed off from the mid-section. A mid-section of the elongated body may be configured to receive an element protruding from the distal end of the implant loading tool. Other flushing and hemostasis tools and methods of use are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20240390520
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel gene editing systems capable of being delivered to a subject intravenously through a lipid nano particle pharmaceutical formulation and producing durable in vivo editing of a target gene, such as ANGPTL3, with high on-target gene editing efficiency, reduced or low off-target effect, and no germline editing. The gene editing systems comprise a chemically modified guide nucleic acid sequence with a spacer having a specified arrangement of deoxyribonucleotides and ribonucleotides. The novel gene editing systems comprise mRNA that encodes the gene editor proteins, which may include a modified nickase component. Methods of disease treatments using the gene editing systems are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20230157823
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods related to various heart valve implants and for delivery of those heart valve implants are described. The implants may be used to re-size a native valve annulus or to replace a native heart valve. The implants include a re-sizable frame having angled struts. Anchors secure the implant to tissue and collars are used to decrease the angle between the struts and contract the frame. The implant thus expands from a first size inside of a delivery catheter, to a second and larger deployed size inside the heart to engage and anchor with the tissue, and then to a third and contracted size to re-size the annulus and/or provide a secure fit for a replacement heart valve. Various delivery systems including imaging capabilities for precise delivery, positioning and anchoring of the various implants are further described.

  • Patent number: 11432927
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods related to various heart valve implants and for delivery of those implants are described. The implants may be used to re-size a native valve annulus or to replace a native heart valve. The implants include a re-sizable frame having angled struts. The implant is secured to tissue with anchors that can rotate without axial advancement to engage tissue while drawing the implant closer to the tissue. Collars are used to decrease the angle between struts of a frame to contract the implant. The implants can include a rotatable shaft, such as a threaded shaft, located internally to an axially translatable collar. Rotation of the shaft transmits force to the collar to cause the collar to translate axially, closing the angle of adjacent struts and decreasing the width of the implant and thus of the annulus. The implants can be delivered, secured and contracted via a catheter. The implants are repositionable and retrievable via catheter.
