Boston Scientific Scimed Inc. has been issued a patent for anchoring devices, systems, and methods for implantable devices. The patent describes an anchor assembly that includes a helical anchor with multiple turns and an anchor housing with internal threads. The helical anchor can be advanced distally away from the anchor housing, and the distalmost turn of the helical anchor has a larger outer diameter than the anchor bore. The invention aims to improve the delivery size of annuloplasty devices while enhancing their retention or securement to the heart valve. This patent provides valuable information for researchers interested in medical devices and healthcare technology. [Extracted from the article] |
