| 20110054262 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR RETRACTION OF TISSUE - A self-retaining retractor and surgical method of retracting integument at a surgical site comprising a medial arm moveably connected to a first end of an extension arm. The extension arm is connected to a lateral arm. The connection may be made after the medial arm is in the surgical site. The extension arm may be moved from an undeployed position to a deployed position. The medial arm or the lateral arm may include a surgical instrument holder, such as a holder for an endoscope. A locking mechanism may be used to lock the retractor in a deployed position. A strap may also be used to secure the retractor. | 03-03-2011 |

| 20110093062 | INFLATABLE MINIMALLY INVASIVE SYSTEM FOR DELIVERING AND SECURING AN ANNULAR IMPLANT - A delivery device for an annular implant that includes a balloon expansion mechanism and an annular implant having an adjustable dimension. The balloon expansion mechanism includes an inflation tube attached to a non-occluding balloon collar which is supported by trusses radially extending from a trocar. The annular implant further includes a flexible ring core, contiguous coiled spacers, and anchoring blocks. The flexible ring core is adjusted via a cinching mechanism. The anchoring blocks are spaced along the ring core by the contiguous coiled spacers, which keeps the distance between each pair of anchoring blocks equidistant as the ring core diameter is manipulated by the device user. The annular implant can also include gunbarrel elements housed in the trocar. Each gunbarrel element contains a gunbarrel pusher which drives an attachment element into the annular implant and annular tissue. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20110118766 | Attachment System, Device and Method - A ventricular assist system and a method of implanting the system are disclosed. The system can have a pump, an inflow conduit, an outflow conduit, attachment ring, ring clamp, and a valvular structure. The attachment ring can be attached to the apex of the heart. The valvular structure can have a flexible, one-way valve in a rigid housing. The inflow conduit can be passed through the valvular structure and the attachment ring into a beating heart with minimal loss of blood. Devices such as slitting tool, coring knife, and/or C-clamp and use of the devices can form part of the system and method for implanting the ventricular assist device. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20110125256 | Slitting Tool - A slitting tool can be used to make a linear incision. The slitting can include a flat blade contained within a housing, and an actuator for extending the flat blade out of a housing. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110144680 | Coring Knife - A coring knife can be used to make a circular incision. The coring knife can include an abutment that can be inserted into heart tissue. The circular incision is made by pressing the circular cutting edge of the coring knife against the abutment. | 06-16-2011 |
