Title: Intramyocardial patterning for treating localized anomalies of the heart
Inventor: HINSON ANDREW G
IPC: A61F2/00
Filed: 2007-09-07
Abstract: Cardiomyopathy may be treated by distributing space-occupying agent within the myocardium in a pattern about one or more chambers of the heart, such that the space-modifying agent integrates into and thickens at least part of the cardiac wall about the chamber so as globally reduce wall stress and stabilize or even reduce chamber size, some patterns also cause a beneficial global reshaping of the chamber. These changes occur quickly and are sustainable, and have a rapid and sustainable therapeutic effect on cardiac function. Patterns of distribution of space occupying agent within the myocardium for global resizing may also be used or augmented to treat localized conditions such as myocardial infarctions, overt aneurysm of the ventricular wall as typically forms in response to large transmural myocardial infarctions and mytral regurgitation due to a noncompliant mitral valve. These techniques may also be used to treat localized conditions that may not yet have progressed to cardiomyopathy.

Abstract: A tamper-indicating package includes a container (26) having a neck finish (24) with an open end, at least one external thread segment (28) , and first and second sets of angularly spaced ratchet teeth (34) in diametrically opposed arrays spaced from the open end of the neck finish. A closure (22) has a base wall (44) with an annular skirt (46) and at least one internal thread segment (48) on the skirt for engagement with the external thread segment on the container neck finish to secure the closure to the container. A circumferential array of angularly spaced flexible resilient ratchet wings (52) extend counterclockwise from an inner surface of a tamper band (50) at an angle to such inner surface. A flexible resilient sealing liner (56) is provided on the base wall within the skirt, and has an annular surface that faces radially outwardly toward the skirt and axially away from the base wall. The ratchet wings (52) are resiliently flexed by the ratchet teeth (34) radially outwardly toward the tamper band during clockwise application of the closure to the container neck finish, and abut clockwise-oriented abutment faces on the ratchet teeth to resist counterclockwise unthreading of the closure from the neck finish so that removal of the closure from the neck finish frangibly separates the tamper band from the skirt. Resilient engagement of the liner surface with the open end of the container neck finish is such that the tamper band is separated from the skirt before loss of sealing engagement between the liner and the open end of the neck finish.
