IMPLANT DEVICE AND IMPLANTATION KIT

摘要

An implant device(V), such as a heart valve, for implantation in an animal body includes an annular structure and one or more elongated anchoring members (10) deployable to a deployed condition for insertion into an animal body. The anchoring members (10) are retractable from the deployed condition to a rolled up condition wherein the anchoring members (10) protrude radially out from the annular structure of the device (V) to provide anchoring to a body structure (AS) of an animal. In the rolled up condition the anchoring members (10) at least partly protrude axially of the annular structure of the device (V).
