摘要:
A suture anchor (500) for affixing soft tissue to bone. The anchor has a hollow outer member (510), and an actuation member (550) slidably mounted within the outer member. The actuation member (550) has at least two engagement members (590) that are pivotally mounted to the actuation member (550). Proximal movement of the actuation member with respect to the outer member causes the engagement members to move outward to a deployed position, wherein the engagement members are deployed in bone. A surgical suture (180) is mounted to the anchor.

This invition is an insertion tool (10) for a rotor blade anchor (20). The anchor (20) is pivotally coupled to a handle (12) so that the anchor (20) can assume a first position in alignment with the longitudinal axis of the handle (12). The tool (10) is designed to be rotated about the longitudinal axis so that the anchor (20), when placed in a bore hole in biological tissue, can attain a second position substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The anchor (20) itself includes cutting surface (22) thereon. A deploy spring (30) is disposed on the handle (12), and biases the anchor (20) towards the second position.
摘要:
The invention provides devices, systems and methods for tissue approximation and repair at treatment sites. The devices, systems and methods of the invention will find use in a variety of therapeutic procedures, including endovascular, minimally-invasive, and open surgical procedures, and can be used in various anatomical regions, including the abdomen, thorax, cardiovascular system, heart, intestinal tract, stomach, urinary tract, bladder, lung, and other organs, vessels, and tissues. The invention is particularly useful in those procedures requiring minimally-invasive or endovascular access to remote tissue locations, where the instruments utilized must negotiate long, narrow, and tortuous pathways to the treatment site. In addition, many of the devices and systems of the invention are adapted to be reversible and removable from the patient at any point without interference with or trauma to internal tissues.
摘要:
A device for the repair of tissue and methods of use and manufacturing thereof are described herein. Applications for the use of the device include, e.g., repair of atrial septal defects (ASD), patent foramen ovale (PFO), left atrial appendage closure and stent graft fixation among other applications throughout the anatomy. The implant portion of the device is available in a variety of sizes and configurations to accommodate the vast complexity of the target anatomy.

Disclosed are devices and methods for treating regurgitation through a valve in the heart. The devices can include an expandable, fluid-tight bladder configured to be deployed between valve leaflets of the heart valve. The bladder can include an upper portion that extends into the atrium of the heart; a lower portion that extends into the ventricle of the heart; and a middle portion positionable within the line of valve leaflet coaptation that provides a sealing surface for one or more of the leaflets.
