TL;DR: An overview of the LionHeart LVD-2000, details of implantation, a review of preclinical studies, and a synopsis of the first European implants show the system to be safe, effective, and reliable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low permeability biomedical polyurethane nanocomposites.
TL;DR: Wide-angle X-ray diffraction experiments showed that the silicate layer spacing in the nanocomposites increased significantly compared with the neat OLS, signifying the formation of intercalated PUU/OLS structures.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Modeling of a dielectric elastomer diaphragm for a prosthetic blood pump
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive analytical model that accounts for the combined elastic and dielectric behavior of the membrane is used to compute the stresses and deformations of the inflated membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sub-micron texturing for reducing platelet adhesion to polyurethane biomaterials.
TL;DR: It is concluded that surface textures with sub-platelet dimensions may reduce platelet adhesion from plasma to polyether(urethane urea) at low shear stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequence and task analysis of instrument use in common laparoscopic procedures.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that laparoscopic instruments are often used to perform a variety of maneuvers in addition to their primary function, and there are common patterns in instrument exchange that provide a potential source of design parameters for improved surgical efficiency.
