A polymer elutes a hemostatic agent around an implant anchorage site over time, helping control bleeding and limit pocket hematoma formation.
See how a compressed prosthetic mitral valve deploys through a catheter, anchors to the native annulus, and limits paravalvular leakage.
Pre-configured suture loops and a movable locking element secure labrum to the acetabulum without knot tying, reducing surgical time and tissue trauma.
A latch and actuator keep the ferrule aligned in its holder until needle actuation, preventing premature release during suturing.
A coaxial catheter blade rotates and translates over an inner shaft to make one complete tether cut and limit premature cutting.
A radiopaque depth-indicator wire helps visualize tissue boundaries and guide cardiac anchors to a preselected depth in beating-heart procedures.
A lever arm and gear system axially translates a blade for precise suture trimming during minimally invasive mitral repair.
A transurethral anchor assembly places radiopaque fiducial markers for prostate localization while reducing infection and bleeding risks.
A primary and secondary anchor use a tensioned cable to stabilize bone and ligaments with minimally invasive insertion.
A locking shuttle and sleeve help deploy and retrieve sutures through an endoscope for precise closure of large tissue defects.
Bioabsorbable polyester copolymers balance flexibility and tensile strength to help medical molded articles follow body movement without tissue damage.
