Abstract: Embodiments of delivery systems, devices and methods for delivering a prosthetic heart valve device to a heart chamber for expanded implementation are disclosed. More specifically, methods, systems and devices are disclosed for delivering a self-expanding prosthetic mitral valve device to the left atrium, with no engagement of the left ventricle, the native mitral valve leaflets or the annular tissue downstream of the upper annular surface during delivery, and in some embodiments with no engagement of the ventricle, mitral valve leaflets and/or annular tissue located downstream of the upper annular surface by the delivered, positioned and expanded prosthetic mitral valve device.

Abstract: A back applicator enables a user to apply lotion to his own back or multiple users to apply lotion in succession in a sanitary manner. The back applicator includes a base plate and first and second straps coupled to opposed sides thereof and extending in opposed directions. At least one of the straps is length adjustable such that the length of the applicator device may be selectively changed. The back applicator also includes an applier that is selectively and removably coupled to the base plate. The applier may be a sponge to which a lotion may be applied or that may be pro-loaded with lotion. The applier may include a clip having resilient members complementary to an opening defined by the base plate such that the applier may be attached to the base plate, used, and then disposed of after lotion has been applied.
