PROSTHETIC VALVE WITH DUAL FRAMES RETAINED BY FABRIC - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18737756 titled 'PROSTHETIC VALVE WITH DUAL FRAMES RETAINED BY FABRIC

The abstract describes a prosthetic valve with an outer frame, inflow flange, straight wall frame segment, and outflow end portion, along with a leaflet support structure, leaflets, and a retention structure to hold the leaflet support structure in place within the outer frame lumen.

  • Outer frame with inflow flange, straight wall frame segment, and outflow end portion
  • Leaflet support structure with leaflets secured to it
  • Retention structure to fix the leaflet support structure in place within the outer frame
  • Designed for use as a prosthetic valve in medical applications
  • Provides a fixed position for the leaflet structure within the outer frame lumen

Potential Applications: - Used in medical procedures requiring prosthetic heart valves - Can improve the functionality and durability of prosthetic heart valves

Problems Solved: - Addresses the need for a stable and secure prosthetic valve design - Helps prevent displacement or malfunction of the leaflet structure within the valve

Benefits: - Enhanced stability and performance of prosthetic heart valves - Improved patient outcomes in valve replacement surgeries

Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Prosthetic Valve Technology for Enhanced Cardiac Care This technology can be utilized by medical device companies to develop advanced prosthetic heart valves for commercial sale. It has the potential to revolutionize the field of cardiac care by offering more reliable and effective valve replacement options.

Questions about Prosthetic Valve Technology: 1. How does this prosthetic valve design differ from traditional valve designs? This prosthetic valve design incorporates unique features such as the inflow flange and straight wall frame segment, providing improved stability and functionality compared to traditional designs.

2. What are the potential complications associated with prosthetic heart valves, and how does this technology address them? Prosthetic heart valves can sometimes experience issues like displacement or leakage. This technology aims to mitigate these problems by securely holding the leaflet structure in place within the outer frame, reducing the risk of complications.


Original Abstract Submitted

A prosthetic valve includes an outer frame defining an outer frame lumen, the outer frame including an inflow flange that flares radially outward, a medial portion having a straight wall frame segment, and an outflow end portion that tapers radially inward. The prosthetic valve can further include a leaflet support structure, one or more leaflets secured to the leaflet support structure, and a retention structure configured to hold the leaflet support structure in a fixed position relative to the outer frame when the leaflet structure is disposed at least partially within the outer frame lumen in a deployed configuration of the prosthetic valve.
