BeschreibungDescription

Die HerzmanschetteThe heart cuff

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Herzmanschette zur Erhaltung und Unterstützung des kranken Herzens. Durch die verschiedenen Krankheiten, wie z.B. Herzinfarkt oder Herzklappenschaden, verliert das Herz seine Muskelkraft und erfordert dadurch die Transplantation eines gesunden Herzens.The invention relates to a heart cuff for maintaining and supporting the diseased heart. Due to various diseases, such as heart attack or heart valve damage, the heart loses its muscle strength and therefore requires the transplantation of a healthy heart.

Die Herzmanschette ist eine Vorrichtung, die eine Herztransplantation oder Kunstherz überflüssig macht. Die Herzmanschette hat die Aufgabe, das kranke Herz so zu unterstützen, daß seine Pumpleistung einem Patienten ein normales Leben ermöglicht.The heart cuff is a device that makes a heart transplant or artificial heart unnecessary. The heart cuff is designed to support the diseased heart so that its pumping performance enables a patient to lead a normal life.

Die Manschette wird für jedes Herz einzeln und nach Maß angefertigt. Es gibt weitere Möglichkeiten die Manschette nach Bedarf an das Herz partiell anzubringen. Diese wird von aussen an das Herz angebracht, so daß der vergrösserte Herzmuskel keine Möglichkeit hat, in seinem Volumen zu wachsen.The cuff is made individually and to measure for each heart. There are other options for partially attaching the cuff to the heart as required. This is attached to the heart from the outside so that the enlarged heart muscle has no opportunity to grow in volume.

Die Herzmanschette hat einen Vorteil von allen bisher bekannten Vorrichtungen, weil sie dem kranken Herzen zu seiner Leistung und Erhalt verhilft. Die Manschette funktioniert so wie in Fig. 1, wo von der Innenseite der Manschette entsprechende dehnbare Kammer vorhanden sind. Die Kammern werden durch bekannte Techniken zum Dehnen und Entspannung gebracht. Da die Dehnkammem von aussen an die Herzkammer anliegen, so daß sie beim Dehnen an die Herzkammer drücken (siehe Fig 2) und somit die Pumpleistung unterstützen und den Blutkreislauf aufrecht erhalten. Es gibt weitere Möglichkeieten ( Fig. 3) nach einem Herzinfarkt, eine partielle Dehnkammer anzubringen, so daß der ausgefallene Herzmuskelteil ersetzt wird.The heart cuff has one advantage over all previously known devices because it helps the diseased heart to perform and maintain its function. The cuff works as in Fig. 1, where there are corresponding expandable chambers on the inside of the cuff. The chambers are made to stretch and relax using known techniques. The expansion chambers are on the outside of the heart chamber, so that when they expand they press against the heart chamber (see Fig. 2) and thus support the pumping performance and maintain blood circulation. There are other options (Fig. 3) after a heart attack to attach a partial expansion chamber so that the failed part of the heart muscle is replaced.

Die Vorteile liegen darin, dass die Manschette dem kranken Herzen die volle Leistung und dem Patienten ein normales Leben ermöglicht. Weitere Vorteile sind keine Transplantationen, keine Suche nach einem neuen Herzen und keine Probleme bei Abstossen eines fremden Organes. Da der Blutkreislauf nicht in Kontakt mit dem Fremdkörper kommt, gibt es auch keine Probleme mit der Blutgerinnung und grosse Einnahme von Medikamenten wird vermieden.The advantages are that the cuff allows the sick heart to function at full capacity and the patient to lead a normal life. Other advantages are no transplants, no search for a new heart and no problems with rejection of a foreign organ. Since the bloodstream does not come into contact with the foreign body, there are also no problems with blood clotting and large doses of medication are avoided.
