    摘要: Sheets of incompletely fixed biological tissue comprising portions for defining valve flaps of a cardiac valve prosthesis are mounted on forming means which can separate in a substantially fluid-tight manner the opposite faces of such portions. These opposite faces are subjected to a fluid pressure difference which produces deformation of the portions towards a conformation substantially identical with the conformation of the valve flaps when mounted in the prosthesis. The biological tissue is finally fixed while the portions defining the valve flaps of the prosthesis are maintained in the said conformation. The sheets of biological tissue are then separated from the forming means to be subsequently mounted in the frame of the prosthesis.

    摘要: There are disclosed devices for conditioning a blood flow which include at least one element with portions which are exposed to the blood and are deformable cyclically at a frequency comparable to the frequency of the heartbeat, in which the cyclically deformable portions have a continuous coating of biocompatible carbonaceous material comprised of carbon crystals having a density of greater than 2.1 grams per cubic centimeter applied by sputtering directly on and completely covering at least those portions of the device which are exposed to the blood.

    摘要: A prosthetic device includes a turbostratic biocompatible carbon film firmly adherent to a substrate and having a density of at least 2.1 g/cm.sup.3. The carbon preferably is very thin, e.g., less than about one micron. The thin carbon biocompatible film covers at least that portion of the substrate which will be in contact with body tissue and/or fluids to insure against physiological rejection and degradation of the prosthetic device. The carbon can be deposited on a variety of substrates, including low temperature substrates, in situ, without adversely affecting the mechanical properties of the substrate. The prosthetic device of the invention is formed by triode sputtering vacuum deposition at a relatively low temperature to achieve the desired results with respect to the deposited carbon and the substrate and with respect to the required adherence therebetween.

    摘要: A pyrocarbon tip for a cardiac stimulator electrode is subjected to an anodic electrolytic treatment in which a strong, concentrated acid with oxidizing properties, or a mixture of two or more such acids, is used as the electrolyte. The treatment is carried out with a voltage greater than 1 V, preferably between 1 and 20 V, and with a current density greater than 3 mA/mm.sup.2, preferably between 30 and 40 mA/mm.sup.2. Pyrocarbon tips treated in this manner have very low bias voltages in use.
