Abstract: A system for implanting a repair device onto a native valve of a natural heart to repair the native valve of a patient during a non-open-heart procedure. The system includes a surgical delivery instrument, a valve repair device, and a gripper control mechanism. The surgical delivery instrument has at least one lumen. The valve repair device is configured to be delivered through the lumen of the surgical delivery instrument and to attach to a native valve of a patient. The valve repair device includes a pair of paddles, and a pair of gripping members. The paddles are movable between an open position and a closed position. The paddles and the gripping members are configured to attach to a native valve of the patient. The gripper control mechanism is configured to independently move the first and second gripping members.

Abstract: A system for implanting a repair device onto a native valve of a natural heart to repair the native valve of a patient during a non-open-heart procedure. The system includes a base assembly, a pair of paddles, and a pair of gripping members. The base assembly includes a shaft and a coupler attached to the shaft such that the coupler can be moved along the shaft. The paddles are movable between an open position, a closed position and a bailout position. The paddles and the gripping members are configured to attach to the native valve of the patient. Movement of the coupler along the shaft causes the paddles to move between the open position, the closed position, and the bailout position. When the paddles are in the bailout position, a bailout angle between each paddle of the pair of paddles and the shaft is greater than or equal to 120 degrees.
