Embodiment Construction

[0045] figure 1 shows a container 1 with two closure elements 5, 6, wherein the first closure element 5 is a solid body and the second closure element 6 is a thin-walled half-shell, shaped like a lid, covering the first receiving space 3 . The opening 7 is provided in the region of the closure elements 5 , 6 and in particular in the first closure element 5 as a recess through which a line can protrude from the first receiving space 3 into the exterior space. A channel 13 may be provided extending around one end of the container 1, which channel 13 may be used to receive a conduit to allow one or more conduit loops to be installed. This solid representation of the first closure element 5 is only given as an example to explain its basic function.

[0046] The first closure element 5 should form a fluid-tight receiving basin 14 into which the heart pump can be inserted and which can receive fluid for testing operations.

[0047] The second closure element 6 is preferably non-...

Abstract

The invention relates to a container (1, 1', 1") for a heart pump device (4, 8, 12, 17, 18, 19, 26) having a first accommodating space (3) for a compressible and expandable heart pump (4), wherein the first accommodating space (3) is bounded on a plurality of sides, in particular on all sides, by one or more closure elements (5, 5', 6, 6', 6'') and is externally closed in order to prevent touching of the heart pump, wherein the closure elements (5, 5', 6, 6', 6'') leave open an opening (7) for the passage of a catheter (8) from outside into the first accommodating space (3), wherein the diameter of the opening (7) is dimensioned in such a way that the heart pump (4) can pass through the opening only in a state in which the heart pump is at least partially compressed in comparison with the expanded state. For implantation, the heart pump can first be operated in the container (1, 1', 1'') for test purposes while a rinsing liquid is supplied and can then be pulled into a lock element (11) through the opening (7) while being compressed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of mechanics and engineering, ie precision engineering, and can be advantageously applied in the field of medical technology. In particular the invention relates to beneficial packaging for heart pump devices. Background technique [0002] In recent years, mechanical heart pumps have been used more and more to assist or replace the heart activity of patients. Basically, such pumps are operated inside or outside the patient. In many cases, however, it is desirable to implant such pumps in the patient. [0003] In this case, the pumps can be compressed and expanded to a large extent, allowing them to be implanted in a small size and then expanded inside the patient's body, which is already known. A special type of this pump includes a drivable rotor that conveys the blood axially, wherein the rotor with the pump housing can preferably be fed into the region of the ventricle or the aorta and operated therein.
