HEART VALVE ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION METHOD THEREFOR
20230263625 · 2023-08-24 ·

A heart valve assembly, a prosthetic valve device, and a preparation method for a heart valve assembly. The heart valve assembly comprises: a skirt portion having a tubular structure, at least two leaflets provided on an inner wall of the skirt portion, a plurality of integrated anchoring rings provided on the exterior of the skirt portion; one end of the integrated anchoring ring is fixedly provided to the exterior of the skirt portion, and one end thereof is a free end; and the skirt portion, the leaflets and the integrated anchoring rings form an integrated valve structure. The heart valve component simplifies an assembly process by significantly reducing the need for precise sutures for connecting the valve component(s) to a stent, which can reduce the uncertainty of current suture technology.

Non-kinking self-wrapping woven sleeve and method of construction thereof
11332856 · 2022-05-17 · ·

A wrappable textile sleeve and method of construction thereof is provided. The textile sleeve includes an elongate wall extending along a longitudinal axis between opposite ends with lengthwise extending edges extending along the longitudinal axis between the opposite ends. The wall is woven from lengthwise extending warp yarns and circumferentially extending weft yarns with at least some of the weft yarns being heat-set to impart a self curling bias on the wall to bring the edges into overlapping relation with one another. Further, the weft yarns form a plurality of discrete annular bands that extend circumferentially about the longitudinal axis with adjacent bands having different picks-per-inch from one another to provide the sleeve with enhance regions of flexibility, self-curling bias and hoop strength.

TUBULAR WOVEN LINER

A woven tubular liner comprising an outer surface comprising outer wefts and warps and an inner surface comprising inner wefts and the warps, wherein the inner and outer surfaces are connected by the warps, the outer wefts being protected from an environment inside of the tubular linear and the inner wefts being protected from an environment outside of the tubular liner. The method comprises repeating a weaving unit of continuous outer wefts and continuous inner wefts running uninterrupted along a circumferential direction, woven with continuous warps running along a longitudinal direction, offsetting positions of the warps relative to the wefts in the weaving unit, selectively interlacing outer wefts with the warps, and selectively interlacing inner wefts with the warps.

FLEXIBLE, HIGH TEMPERATURE RESISTANT, FLUID RESISTANT, ABRASION RESISTANT, MULTILAYERED WRAPPABLE TEXTILE SLEEVE AND METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION THEREOF

A wrappable sleeve for routing and protecting an elongate member, against exposure to high temperature, abrasion, fluid ingress, and contamination, has a multilayered wall extending widthwise between opposite edges and extending lengthwise along a longitudinal axis between opposite ends. The wall includes a textile outer layer, a textile inner layer, and an intermediate layer sandwiched between the outer layer and the inner layer. The intermediate layer includes a textile intermediate layer facing the textile inner layer and a silicone-based layer facing the textile outer layer.

Impact resistant, shrinkable woven tubular sleeve and method of construction thereof

A woven sleeve for routing and protecting an elongate member and method of construction thereof are provided. The sleeve has a woven wall with a circumferentially continuous outer periphery extending along a central axis between opposite ends. Warp yarns extend generally parallel to the central axis and fill yarns extend generally transversely to the warp yarns. At least a portion of the wall has a plurality of layers in abutment with one another. At least one of the fill yarns is provided as a shrinkable yarn that provides the wall with an ability to remain in a first, diametrically enlarged assembly state to facilitate assembly of the sleeve about the elongate member, whereupon the wall can be radially constricted to a second, diametrically constricted assembled state to maintain the sleeve in the desired location, while also minimizing the outer circumference to facilitate use of the sleeve in tight spaces.
