According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A heart valve tissue cutting device includes a housing formed with an elongate opening, a cutting guide arm pivoted to the housing at a distal pivot, the cutting guide arm being formed with a slot, and a first actuator wire coupled to the cutting guide arm. Movement of the first actuator wire causes the cutting guide arm to pivot about the distal pivot. A cutting element having a blade is coupled to a track link which is arranged to travel along a track in the housing. A second actuator wire is coupled to the track link. Movement of the second actuator wire causes the track link and the cutting element to move distally or proximally along the track. When the track link is at a proximal portion of the track, the blade does not protrude out of the housing and when the track link is not at the proximal portion of the track, the blade protrudes out of the housing."
The patent application was internationally filed on Jan. 08, 2024, under International application No.PCT/IB2024/050154.
