  Cardiac disease treatment and device - Patent 6537203
The jacket has a longitudinal dimension between upper and lower ends sufficient for the jacket to surround a lower portion of the heart with the jacket surrounding a valvular annulus of the heart and further surrounding the lower portion to cover at least the ventricular lower extremities of the heart.
The jacket is adjustable on the heart to snugly conform to an external geometry of the heart and assume a maximum adjusted volume for the jacket to constrain circumferential expansion of the heart beyond the maximum adjusted volume during diastole and to permit unimpeded contraction of the heart during systole.
The jacket 10 is constructed for the material of the knit to be directionally aligned for a diagonal axis A.sub.m to be parallel to the heart's longitudinal axis AA-BB While the jacket 10 is expandable due to the above described knit pattern, the fibers 20 of the knit 18 are preferably non-expandable.

 Guide wire with multiple polymer jackets over distal and intermediate core sections - Patent 6402706
Preferably, the guide wire may have jackets of different grades of polymer, such as polyurethane 55 D and 90 A. Alternatively, the guide wire may have jackets of different types of polymers such as polyurethane and polytetrafluoroethylene, or may have a single polymeric jacket with continuously varying properties along its length.
While polymer jackets 62, 64 and 66 have been described as discrete, it is also possible for the jackets to be blended together at the boundaries therebetween, or for any single jacket member to have a varying composition over its entire length that varies the shore hardness of the jacket over the length.
The second polymer jacket 81 has a distal end 83 that is preferably rounded to reduce trauma to the inside surface of a patient's body passageways in which the guidewire 70 is advancing.
