The present invention relates to a medical chamber system (700) for implantation in the chest of a patient to support the heart activity, preferably by displacing the heart apex (105), comprising at least a first chamber (702) for arrangement inside the heart sac (300) and a second chamber (701) for arrangement outside the heart sac (300), wherein the chambers (701, 702) comprise at least one connection portion or connection channel (703) which connects the two chambers (701, 702) to each other, the chambers (701, 702) and the connection channel (703) are further embodied to be filled with fluid (705) and, preferably in the implanted state, to be arranged such that the heart activity acts on the first chamber (702) and that the second chamber (701) acts as a volume storage and/or energy storage for the fluid (705). Furthermore, the present invention relates to an introduction system for a medical chamber system (700) and to a kit, encompassing a medical chamber system (700) and an introduction system.
A medical chamber system for implantation in a chest of a patient to support heart activity, the medical chamber system comprising at least a first chamber for arrangement inside a heart sac and a second chamber for arrangement outside the heart sac, wherein the chambers comprise a connection channel which connects the two chambers to each other, wherein the chambers and the connection channel are further embodied to be filled with fluid, wherein the first chamber and the second chamber together with the connection channel form exactly one closed bag in one-piece, wherein the connection channel forms a connection portion of the closed bag that connects the two chambers to each other, and wherein the medical chamber system further comprises a support device comprising a hollow body that surrounds the connection channel to form or give structure to the connection channel at least in sections.
