Abstract: An intracorporeal device for delivery into a patient is provided. The intracorporeal device includes a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end is detachably coupled from the transcatheter delivery device. The device relates to a transcatheter system and corresponding devices and methods of treatment, and is particularly useful for the delivery and implantation into the body of a patient of medical devices, such as mechanical circulatory support devices, but also has a wider variety of applications.

Abstract: A connector is provided for fluid communication between two anatomical compartments through at least one anatomical wall, wherein the connector comprises a neck adapted and configured to be positioned across the anatomical wall(s); primary means for securing the neck across the anatomical wall(s); and secondary means for securing the neck across the anatomical wall(s). A method for coupling two anatomical walls using said connector is also provided.

Abstract: A transcatheter insertion system is provided for the insertion of an intracorporeal device using an insertion device. The system comprises an outer sheath arranged and configured to form a passageway for the intracorporeal device and/or the insertion device. The outer sheath guides the insertion device. A method of transcatheter insertion with the system is also provided.

Abstract: A method is provided for the transcatheter insertion of an intracorporeal device into a patient, carried out using a transcatheter insertion system comprising an insertion device, the system comprising an outer sheath arranged and configured to form a passageway for the intracorporeal device and/or the insertion device, the outer sheath guiding the insertion device. The method comprises the steps of: (a) puncturing at least one anatomical wall separating anatomical compartments; (b) delivering the intracorporeal device into the patient; and (c) implanting the intracorporeal device through the anatomical wall(s).

Abstract: A system, apparatus and method for improved contactless power transfer in implantable devices are provided. In a first aspect, a rechargeable power supply for an intra-corporeal medical device is provided. The apparatus comprises an implantable power receiving device for wirelessly receiving power, and an implantable power storage device. In another aspect, an intra-corporeal medical device comprises a rechargeable power supply, the rechargeable power supply comprising power receiving device for wirelessly receiving power; and a power storage device.

Abstract: In the field of contactless power transfer for medical devices, more specifically, to contactless power transfer for intra-corporeal medical devices, a system and method for transmitting power to a rechargeable power supply are provided, the rechargeable power supply comprising implantable power receiving means, and an implantable power storage means. The system comprises an extra corporeal power transmitting means arranged and configured to supply power to the rechargeable power supply by wirelessly transmitting power to the implantable power receiving means. The system and method are particularly useful in the context of minimally invasive procedures.
