Mitral valve spacer device

A delivery assembly comprising:

• a first clasp that is moveable between an open position and a closed position, wherein the first clasp is configured to be securable to a first native valve leaflet by moving the first clasp from the open position to the closed position of the first clasp;
• a first clasp control member coupled to the first clasp, wherein applying tension to the first clasp control member moves the first clasp to the open position;
• a second clasp that is moveable between an open position and a closed position, wherein the second clasp is configured to secure a second native valve leaflet by moving the second clasp from the open position to the closed position of the second clasp;
• a second clasp control member coupled to the second clasp, wherein applying tension to the second clasp control member moves the second clasp to the open position;
• an elongate shaft having a proximal portion and a distal portion;
• a handle connected to the proximal portion of the elongate shaft;
• wherein the first clasp control member extends from the first clasp, into the distal portion of the elongate shaft, through the elongate shaft, out of the proximal portion of the elongate shaft, and through the handle;
• wherein the second clasp control member extends from the second clasp, into the distal portion of the elongate shaft, through the elongate shaft, out of the proximal portion of the elongate shaft, and through the handle;
• an actuator coupled to the handle, the actuator comprising
• a first side portion connected to the first clasp control member;
• and
• a second side portion connected to the second clasp control member;
• wherein the first side portion and the second side portion are releasably couplable such that when the first side portion and the second side portion are coupled, proximal movement of the actuator proximally tensions both the first clasp control member and the second clasp control member to move both the first and second clasps to the open position, and such that when the first side portion and the second side portions are uncoupled, individual proximal movements of the first side portion and the second side portion individually tension the first clasp control member and the second clasp control member to independently open the first and second clasps, respectively.

A delivery assembly comprising:

• a pair of anchors that are moveable between an open position and a closed position;
• an anchor actuation shaft operably coupled to the pair of anchors;
• a first clasp that is moveable between an open position and a closed position;
• a first clasp control member coupled to the first clasp configured such that applying tension to the first clasp control member moves the first clasp to the open position;
• a second clasp that is moveable between an open position and a closed position, a second clasp control member coupled to the second clasp configured such that applying tension to the second clasp control member moves the second clasp to the open position;
• an elongate shaft having a proximal portion and a distal portion;
• a handle connected to the proximal portion of the elongate shaft;
• wherein the anchor actuation shaft extends into the distal portion of the elongate shaft, through the elongate shaft, out of the proximal portion of the elongate shaft, and into the handle;
• wherein axial movement of the anchor actuation shaft relative to the elongate shaft moves the pair of anchors between the open position and the closed position;
• wherein the first clasp control member extends from the first clasp, into the distal portion of the elongate shaft, through the elongate shaft, out of the proximal portion of the elongate shaft, and through the handle;
• wherein the second clasp control member extends from the second clasp, into the distal portion of the elongate shaft, through the elongate shaft, out of the proximal portion of the elongate shaft, and through the handle;
• an actuator coupled to the handle, the actuator comprising:
• a first side portion connected to the first clasp control member;
• and
• a second side portion connected to the second clasp control member;
• wherein the first side portion and the second side portion are releasably couplable such that when the first side portion and the second side portion are coupled, proximal movement of the actuator proximally tensions both the first clasp control member and the second clasp control member to move both the first and second clasps to the open position, and such that when the first side portion and the second side portions are uncoupled, individual proximal movements of the first side portion and the second side portion individually tension the first clasp control member and the second clasp control member to independently open the first and second clasps, respectively.
