20100199506 | Device for mechanically locating and reading the setting of an adjustable valve - The invention proposes a device for mechanically locating and reading the setting of an adjustable magnetic valve for controlling the flow of a fluid in a predetermined direction, and which is not particularly sensitive to the Earth's magnetic field, of simple and economical design, and which makes it possible, in a single step, to locate the magnetic centre of the valve and to determine the setting of the valve. | 08-12-2010 |
20110048539 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MECHANICALLY LOCATING AND READING THE SETTING OF AN ADJUSTABLE VALVE - A device for mechanically locating and reading the setting of an adjustable magnetic valve for controlling the flow of a fluid in a predetermined direction (D) comprises a magnetic compass ( | 03-03-2011 |
20110118589 | LOCATOR, DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ELECTRONICALLY LOCATING AND READING THE SETTING OF AN ADJUSTABLE VALVE - The invention is aimed at improving valve pinpointing and reading devices by proposing to activate a magnetic detection source allowing measurements regularly-distributed in a circle around an axis at predetermined measurement positions. An exemplary locator comprises a casing ( | 05-19-2011 |
20110275976 | METHOD OF REGULATING CSF DRAINAGE - An implantable drainage device for draining the cerebro-spinal fluid of a patient, the device including:

20140142687 | DEVICE AND METHOD OF TREATING HEART VALVE MALFUNCTION - An assembly and method for treating heart valve malfunction including mitral regurgitation wherein an elongated chord is movably disposed within an introductory sheath and an anchor is secured to a distal end thereof. The sheath and the chord are introduced into the heart chamber and penetrate and pass through the anterior mitral valve leaflet and preferably through the mitral valve orifice. The sheath and the chord are then extended transversely across the heart chamber and the distal end of the chord is anchored to an opposing portion of the heart wall. The sheath is withdrawn back along the length of the anchored chord through the anterior mitral valve leaflet and the proximal end of the chord is secured to the valve leaflet. The chord is secured under sufficient tension to maintain an intended positioning of the valve leaflet to overcome mitral regurgitation. | 05-22-2014 |
20140142689 | DEVICE AND METHOD OF TREATING HEART VALVE MALFUNCTION - An assembly and method for treating heart valve malfunction typically including treating of mitral regurgitation wherein an instrument assembly includes an elongated chord movably disposed within an introductory sheath and including an anchor secured to a distal end thereof. An attendant method includes concurrently introducing the sheath and the chord into the heart chamber through an exterior wall and penetrating and passing the sheath and the chord through the anterior mitral valve leaflet. The sheath and the chord are then extended transversely across the heart chamber and the distal end of the chord is anchored to an opposing portion of the heart wall. The sheath is then withdrawn back along the length of the anchored chord and through the anterior mitral valve leaflet and a securing member connects the proximal end of the chord to the valve leaflet. The chord is secured between the valve leaflet and the opposing heart wall under sufficient tension to maintain an intended positioning of the valve leaflet to overcome mitral regurgitation. | 05-22-2014 |
