Abstract:
An intracorporeal device is provided for supporting heart function of a patient. The intracorporeal device is configured to be secured across at least two anatomical walls of the heart. The intracorporeal device is configured to be secured to one or more anatomical walls by a connector. The connector is arranged to be positioned across one or more anatomical walls.
Abstract:
A transcatheter insertion system for the insertion of an intracorporeal device using an insertion device, wherein the system includes an outer sheath arranged and configured to form a passageway for the intracorporeal device and/or the insertion device and the outer sheath includes for guiding the insertion device. The present disclosure also relates to an outer sheath and an insertion device for use with the system.
Abstract:
A connector is provided for fluid communication between two anatomical compartments through at least one anatomical wall, wherein the connector comprises a neck adapted and configured to be positioned across the anatomical wall(s); primary means for securing the neck across the anatomical wall(s); and secondary means for securing the neck across the anatomical wall(s). A method for coupling two anatomical walls using said connector is also provided.
Abstract:
In the field of contactless power transfer for medical devices, more specifically, to contactless power transfer for intra-corporeal medical devices, a rechargeable power supply for an intra-corporeal medical device comprises an implantable power receiving means for wirelessly receiving power, and implantable power storage means. The implantable power receiving means is arranged and configured to receive power from an extra-corporeal power transmitting means for wirelessly transmitting power. The apparatus is particularly useful in the context of minimally invasive procedures.

Abstract:
A method is provided for the transcatheter delivery of an intracorporeal device and includes establishing a device delivery pathway in a patient. The device delivery pathway extends at least from an entry point into the patient to an exit point from the patient. A method is also provided for the transcatheter retrieval of an intracorporeally implanted device and includes establishing a device delivery pathway in a patient, wherein the device delivery pathway extends at least from an entry point into the patient to an exit point from the patient. A delivery device is also provided for the transcatheter delivery of an intracorporeal device through a device delivery pathway in a patient, the delivery device comprising a catheter comprising a radial separation mechanism, or a delivery catheter and detachably coupling with an intracorporeal device.
Abstract:
A system, apparatus and method for improved contactless power transfer in implantable devices are provided. In a first aspect, a rechargeable power supply for an intra-corporeal medical device is provided. The apparatus comprises an implantable power receiving device for wirelessly receiving power, and an implantable power storage device. In another aspect, an intra-corporeal medical device comprises a rechargeable power supply, the rechargeable power supply comprising power receiving device for wirelessly receiving power; and a power storage device.
Abstract:
In the field of contactless power transfer for medical devices, more specifically, to contactless power transfer for intra-corporeal medical devices, a system and method for transmitting power to a rechargeable power supply are provided, the rechargeable power supply comprising implantable power receiving means, and an implantable power storage means. The system comprises an extra corporeal power transmitting means arranged and configured to supply power to the rechargeable power supply by wirelessly transmitting power to the implantable power receiving means. The system and method are particularly useful in the context of minimally invasive procedures.
Abstract:
