Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve, for example a tricuspid valve, may include a flexible membrane and a frame. The frame may be attached to the periphery of the tricuspid orifice. The diaphragm may be attached to the frame around a part of the perimeter of the orifice. Optionally the frame may be flexible. For example the frame may elastically flex between a substantially circular shape and/of an elliptical and/or crescent shape. Optionally there may not be a stiff cross piece crossing a central region of the orifice and connected on opposing sides of frame. In some embodiments, the diaphragm may take a dome shape during systole.

Abstract: A device for electrifying perineal tissue, including: a housing shaped and sized to be attached to a perineum surface of a subject between a posterior aspect of the scrotum and the anus of the subject; at least two electrodes in the housing configured to deliver an electric field to a perineal tissue, wherein the electrodes are positioned entirely between the scrotum and the anus; a pulse generator in the housing electrically connected to the at least two electrodes, wherein the pulse generator generates an electric field with parameter values selected to affect at least one selected target within the perineal tissue; a control circuitry in the housing electrically connected to the pulse generator; a readable and writable memory circuit in the housing electrically connected to the control circuitry, wherein the readable and writable memory stores indications of at least one electric field parameter and/or at least one treatment program.

Abstract: A crimping device used with a medical device can include at least one force-applying surface configured to compress the medical device by applying a force to a surface of the medical device. The crimping device also includes at least one protruding element extending from the force-applying surface and arranged to least partially extend into one of the openings defined by frame struts while the medical device is being crimped. The extension of the at least one protruding element at least partially into one of the openings prevents at least a portion of the soft layer of the medical device from protruding between struts of the outer frame of the medical device while the device is being crimped.
