Abstract:
A system for implanting a repair device onto a native valve of a natural heart to repair the native valve of a patient during a non-open-heart procedure. The system includes a surgical delivery instrument, a valve repair device, and a gripper control mechanism. The surgical delivery instrument has at least one lumen. The valve repair device is configured to be delivered through the lumen of the surgical delivery instrument and to attach to a native valve of a patient. The valve repair device includes a pair of paddles, and a pair of gripping members. The paddles are movable between an open position and a closed position. The paddles and the gripping members are configured to attach to a native valve of the patient. The gripper control mechanism is configured to independently move the first and second gripping members.

Claim (Index 1):
A valve repair system for repairing a native valve of a patient during a non-open-heart procedure, the valve repair system comprising:\n a delivery device having at least one lumen; a valve repair device configured to be delivered through the lumen of the delivery device, and configured to attach to a native valve of a patient, the valve repair device comprising:\n a pair of paddles that are movable between an open position and a closed position; \n a first gripping member, a second gripping member, a third gripping member, and a fourth gripping member, wherein the paddles and the gripping members are configured to attach to the native valve of the patient; \n wherein the first gripping member, the second gripping member, the third gripping member, and a fourth gripping member each have a free end and a fixed end; \n wherein the fixed end of the first gripping member, the fixed end of the second gripping member, the fixed end of the third gripping member, and the fixed end of the fourth gripping member are all connected together; \n a gripper control mechanism comprising a first gripper control line connected to the first gripping member; a second gripper control line connected to the second gripping member; a third gripper control line connected to the third gripping member; and a fourth gripper control line connected to the fourth gripping member; wherein a first paddle of the pair of paddles and the first and second gripping members are configured to attach to a first native valve leaflet; wherein pulling the first gripper control line into the delivery device while releasing the second gripper control line from the delivery device causes a space between the first paddle and the first gripping member to be greater than a space between the first paddle and the second gripping member, such that the first native valve leaflet is only attached to the first paddle and the second gripping member until the first control line is released.
