Application: Automated heart valve manufacturing (Patent ID: US20240125025A1)
The patent filed by Edwards Lifesciences Corp. describes an automated system for prosthetic heart valve manufacturing or suturing procedures. The system includes a first automated fixture with an articulating arm and a target device holder, along with additional automated fixtures configured as suturing arms with needle holders. These fixtures work together to form sutures on a target device without human intervention, with a display system providing status information during the suturing procedure.
The method outlined in the patent involves maneuvering a target device using automated components, manipulating needles secured by suturing arms to form sutures on the target device. The system includes motorized actuator devices for precise control, pre-programmed suturing procedures, and feedback mechanisms for adjusting needle positions. The target device in question is specified as a prosthetic human heart valve implant device, highlighting the medical application of this automated suturing system.
