摘要:
Devices for attaching a first mass and a second mass and methods of making andusing the same are disclosed. The devices can be made from an resilient,elastic or deformable materials. The devices can be used to attach a heartvalve ring to a biological annulus. The devices can also be used for woundclosure or a variety of other procedures such as anchoring a prosthesis tosurrounding tissue or another prosthesis, tissue repair, such as in theclosure of congenital defects such as septal heart defects, tissue or vesselanastomosis, fixation of tissue with or without a reinforcing mesh for herniarepair, orthopedic anchoring such as in bone fusing or tendon or musclerepair, ophthalmic indications, laparoscopic or endoscopic tissue repair orplacement of prostheses, or use by robotic devices for procedures such asthose above performed remotely.
