Methods of selecting surgical implants and related devices
Methods may be provided to identify a medical implant from a plurality of medical implants to be fixed to an anatomical surface. Dimensional parameters for each of the plurality of medical implants may be provided, and dimensional parameters corresponding to the anatomical surface may be provided. The dimensional parameters for each of the plurality of medical implants may be compared with the dimensional parameters corresponding to the anatomical surface, and one of the medical implants may be selected from the plurality of medical implants based on comparing the dimensional parameters for each of the plurality of medical implants with the dimensional parameters corresponding to the anatomical surface. An identification of the medical implant selected from the plurality of medical implants may be provided through a user interface. Related devices and computer program products are also discussed.
METHODS FOR DELIVERING MULTIPLE OCULAR IMPLANTS
Systems and methods for delivering multiple ocular implants to reduce intraocular pressure are disclosed. The ocular implants can be implanted at multiple sites within a single human eye without requiring removal of the delivery apparatus from the eye. A system for delivering multiple ocular implants can include a plurality of implants, an external housing, and an introducer assembly. The external housing can provide access to an implant singulation actuator and an implant delivery actuator. The introducer assembly can comprise an auto- retracting introducer portion. The delivery apparatus can include an infinite activation mechanism/portion and/or a manual singulation mechanism/portion.
DEVICES FOR HOLDING INTRAOCULAR LENS ALONG AN OPTICAL AXIS THEREOF
Devices configured to be implanted in a lens capsule of a human eye and securely hold an intraocular lens (IOL), and operable to displace the IOL relative to an optical axis of the IOL; the devices comprising a first member configured to be fixedly positioned inside the lens capsule, a second member to which the IOL is fixedly attachable, and a bendable structure attached at a first end thereof to the first member and at a second end thereof to the second member; the bendable structure being configured to be remotely controllably bended at various bending levels to thereby vary location of a periphery of the IOL, when the IOL is attached to the second member, along the IOL optical axis.
METHODS OF SELECTING SURGICAL IMPLANTS AND RELATED DEVICES
Methods may be provided to identify a medical implant from a plurality of medical implants to be fixed to an anatomical surface. Dimensional parameters for each of the plurality of medical implants may be provided, and dimensional parameters corresponding to the anatomical surface may be provided. The dimensional parameters for each of the plurality of medical implants may be compared with the dimensional parameters corresponding to the anatomical surface, and one of the medical implants may be selected from the plurality of medical implants based on comparing the dimensional parameters for each of the plurality of medical implants with the dimensional parameters corresponding to the anatomical surface. An identification of the medical implant selected from the plurality of medical implants may be provided through a user interface. Related devices and computer program products are also discussed.
System and method for braiding a patient-customized stent
The disclosure relates to a system for braiding a patient-specific adapted stent. The system includes at least one set with multiple braiding sleeves and a base carrier for receiving at least two braiding sleeves of the set, wherein the braiding sleeves each have an inner contour adapted to the outer contour of the base carrier, so that multiple braiding sleeves can be arranged in any order on the base carrier, in particular slid in any order onto the base carrier, to form a braiding mandrel, and wherein at least two braiding sleeves of the set have different outer contours from each another. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for braiding a patient-specific adapted stent.
Heart valve prosthesis delivery system and method for delivery of heart valve prosthesis with introducer sheath and loading system
The present disclosure relates to a delivery catheter and the stepwise release of a stent from the catheter into the vasculature of a patient, as well as a loading device for a transcatheter heart valve (THV) prosthesis.
