MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517118176 A) filed by Suzhou Hearthill Medical Technology Co. Ltd., Jiangsu, China, on Nov. 27, 2025, for 'polymeric heart valve and preparation method therefor.'
Inventor(s) include Zhang, Zhigang.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Provided by the present invention are a polymeric heart valve and a preparation method therefor. The polymeric heart valve comprises valve leaflets and a valve frame. The valve frame is a hollow cylindrical structure and comprises a first end and a second end; the first end is provided with a plurality of column peaks arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction, and column valleys are correspondingly formed. The number of the valve leaflets is consistent with the number of the column peaks. The valve leaflets are arranged in the center of the first end. A plurality of valve leaflets are sequentially connected to two adjacent column peaks in the circumferential direction. The valve further comprises an insert, the insert is a hollow columnar structure matching the valve frame, and the insert comprises a third end and a fourth end corresponding to the first end and the second end, respectively. The insert is suitable for being embedded in the valve frame in the axial direction. The valve leaflets and the valve frame are subjected to one-time injection molding, and the insert is embedded into the valve frame to become a whole when the valve frame and the valve leaflets are subjected to injection molding. According to the polymeric heart valve provided by the present invention, the radial supporting force of the valve frame is increased by optimizing the structure and the process, thereby improving valve performance, simplifying the preparation process, and improving the preparation efficiency."
