Abstract: An automated system that can be used for prosthetic heart valve manufacturing or suturing procedures. The system can include a first automated fixture that includes an articulating arm and a target device holder. The system can also include one or more additional automated fixtures, which can be configured as one or more suturing arms that include another articulating arm and a needle holder. The first automated fixture can be configured to rotate a target device held by the holder to allow the one or more additional automated fixtures to perform operations such as form sutures on the target device without intervention of a human operator. The system can include a display system configured to display status information of a suturing procedure.

Abstract: An assistance system that can be used for prosthetic heart valve manufacturing or suturing procedures includes an automated fixture that can comprise an articulation arm and a target device holder. The target device holder can be positioned and oriented to reduce operator strain during a manufacturing or inspection process. The assistance system includes a user input device enabling the operator to move between positions to assist in such processes. The assistance system can also be trained by capturing sequences of position data corresponding to a manufacturing or inspection process.

Abstract: Expandable sheaths and introducers are disclosed herein. In some examples, the expandable introducer includes an elongated body member, an inflatable balloon disposed between a proximal and distal end of the elongated body member, and an inflation lumen in fluid communication with the inflatable balloon. A portion of the balloon is sized and configured to pass through a distal opening of an expandable introducer sheath when in the deflated condition, and to dilate the distal end of the introducer sheath as the balloon expands from the deflated configuration to the inflated configuration. Methods of making and using the devices disclosed herein are also disclosed.
