Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080279910Composite Hemocompatible Material and Method for Its Production - According to the invention, the hemocompatible material comprises a strong and leaklight synthetic substrate, to which a biological tissue adheres by virtue of the constituent substance of said substrate dispersing in a solvent.11-13-2008
20090132038ROTARY DISPLACEMENT PUMP WITH SMALLER RADIAL DIMENSIONS - According to the invention the rotary pump consists of an external gear (05-21-2009
20090157176ANNULOPLASTY RINGS FOR CORRECTING DEGENERATIVE VALVULAR DISEASES - A set of annuloplasty rings progressively sized to take into account more of the common pathologies. The proportional shapes of each ring as the orifice size changes vary. For instance, the larger rings have larger minor axis dimensions relative to their major axis dimensions.06-18-2009
20090192607ONE-PIECE HEART PROSTHESIS IMPLANTABLE IN AN ANATOMICAL POSITION - One-piece heart prosthesis implantable in an anatomical position. According to the invention, the artificial left and right ventricles (07-30-2009
20090204206DEVICE FOR RAPID CONNECTION BETWEEN A TOTALLY IMPLANTABLE HEART PROSTHESIS AND NATURAL AURICLES - Device for rapid connection between a totally implantable heart prosthesis and natural articles. According to the invention, said prosthesis comprises: fastening means (08-13-2009
20090276041DEVICE FOR CONNECTION BETWEEN A HEART PROSTHESIS AND THE NATURAL AURICLES - Device for connection between a heart prosthesis and the natural auricles. According to the invention, the means of joining to the natural auricles are formed by individual suture attachments (11-05-2009
20090287303PHYSIOLOGICALLY HARMONIZED TRICUSPID ANNULOPLASTY RING - A prosthetic tricuspid remodeling annuloplasty ring having two free ends that are upturned in the inflow direction to help avoid unnecessary leaflet abrasion. The free ends are desirably separated across a gap that is large enough to reduce the risk of passing sutures through the conductive system of the heart, yet not too large that support of the septal leaflet of the tricuspid annulus is degraded. The tricuspid ring may have four sequential segments looking from the inflow side and extending in a clockwise direction from a free end located adjacent the antero septal commissure after implant. The ring may define an inflow bulge in the first segment and/or an inflow bulge in the fourth segment that help the ring conform to the natural bulges created by the adjacent aorta, thereby reducing stress and the potential for ring dehiscence. Desirably, the ring has variable flexibility, either gradual and/or between or within different segments, so as to adapt or harmonize its 3-dimensional shape to each individual patient and, therefore, to significantly reduce the constraints on the annulus and adjacent structures, particularly the leaflets and the conduction tissue.11-19-2009
20110244246Process for Producing a Haemocompatible Article of Complex Configuration and Article Thus Obtained - Process for producing a hemocompatible article of complex configuration and article thus obtained. According to the invention, a membrane (10-06-2011
