Disclosed herein are embodiments of a reinforced collagen matrix device for superior capsule repair. The device can include a collagen matrix cover, a first reinforcement strip positioned along the first side of the cover, and a second reinforcement strip positioned along the second side of the cover. A first end and a second end of the first and second reinforcement strips can extend past the first end and the second end of the collagen matrix cover so as not be covered by the collagen matrix cover. The collagen matrix cover can be folded along a first fold and a second fold and extend over the first and second reinforcement strips so that a portion of the first and second reinforcement strips are covered by the collagen matrix cover along a portion of the length of the first reinforcement strip.

Embodiments of a prosthetic heart valve are disclosed. An implantable prosthetic valve may be radially collapsible to a collapsed configuration and radially expandable to an expanded configuration. The prosthetic valve may comprise an annular frame, a leaflet structure positioned within the frame and a plurality of outer skirts positioned around an outer surface of the frame, each outer skirt comprising an inflow edge secured to the frame and an outflow edge secured at intervals to the frame. The plurality of outer skirts may include a first outer skirt and a second outer skirt, wherein in the expanded configuration the first and second outer skirts include openings unsecured to the frame between the intervals. The inflow edge of the first annular outer skirt may be secured to the frame with sutures including radiopaque material. The first annular outer skirt may include radiopaque dye.

Described embodiments are directed toward prosthetic valve leaflets of a particular shape that allows redundant coaptation height in the leaflets when a planar segment is present in each leaflet.

A collapsible and expandable stent body includes a generally tubular annulus section, one or more prosthetic valve elements mounted to the stent body, and a cuff attached to the stent body. The prosthetic valve is operative to allow flow in an antegrade direction but to substantially block flow in a retrograde direction. The prosthetic heart valve may include paravalvular leak mitigation features in the form of first and second sealing members. The sealing members are attached to the cuff and extend circumferentially around an abluminal surface of the stent body. The sealing members each have an open side facing in a first axial direction and a closed side facing in an opposite second axial direction. Flow of blood in the second axial direction will tend to force blood into the sealing members and cause the sealing members to billow outwardly relative to the stent body, helping to mitigate paravalvular leak.

A joint implant adapted for use in joint surgeries. Among other things, the joint implant has an anterior cutting edge and a rotatable cutter supported by a rotatable shaft. A polyaxial adapter can be incorporated into the current joint implant. The present implant can include a rotatable shaft that has a conduit and windows.

A prosthetic heart valve having an inflow end and an outflow end includes a stent having a collapsed condition, an expanded condition, and cells arranged in circumferential rows. The stent has an anterior side configured to be disposed adjacent an anterior native valve leaflet and a posterior side configured to be disposed adjacent a posterior native valve leaflet. A valve assembly having a plurality of leaflets is disposed within the stent and a flange is disposed about the stent. The flange includes a flared portion adjacent the inflow end and a body portion extending from the flared portion to the outflow end, the flange extending between a first set of attachment points adjacent the inflow end, and a second set of attachment points adjacent the outflow end.

Stents that are adapted to be balloon expanded and include adjacent supports connected by connecting portions. The configurations, materials, and/or dimensions of at least one of the supports and connection portions allows the stents to be expanded to a greater extent, and optionally with reduced foreshortening.

A device for delivering an implant to a surgical location of a patient is provided. In some embodiments, an example device includes a polymer body having first and second tapered sections and a sealed cavity defined by the polymer body. The polymer body is separable between the first and second tapered sections.
