In practice, the inside edge of the flap seat wrap should be about 4.5-5.0 mm longer than the outside edge, and this dimensional difference ensures smoothness after wrapping. The cut flap seat wrapping cloth is folded in half, and is ironed for about 15-20 seconds along folds by using medical ironing equipment at the temperature of about 121 ℃ to form the positioning mark.

Further, wherein the three-dimensional curved surface model is built according to the width and circumference of the first valve frame 130 and unfolded into a plan view to make the valve frame wrapping cloth, comprising:
firstly, a valve frame three-dimensional geometrical body is established through control point coordinates and a Bernstein base function and is converted into a quadrilateral mesh model, wherein the method comprises the steps of adopting a Bessel curved surface equation to construct a continuously-conductive valve frame three-dimensional geometrical body, calculating a position vector of any point through the control point coordinates and the Bernstein base function, converting a continuous curved surface into the quadrilateral mesh model, and carrying out mesh local encryption processing on local features of the valve frame surface.

Specifically, for valve frame modeling, in one implementation scenario, a three-dimensional curved surface modeling method may be employed to construct a valve frame structure. The valve frame is regarded as a three-dimensional geometric body with a continuous conductive curved surface, and is described by using a Bessel curved surface equation. For any pointIts position vector is determined by the following equation: , wherein, In order to control the coordinates of the points,AndRespectively, the n-th and m-th order of the binstein basis function. By adjusting the control point positions, the curved surface meets the geometric feature requirements of the first valve frame 130. In actual operation, 16 control points are selected, four bezier curved surfaces are constructed, and the distance between the control points is kept between 2.15 and 2.35 millimeters.
And then carrying out surface discretization treatment to convert the continuous surface into a triangular mesh model. The quadrilateral mesh division scheme with the mesh size of 0.25-0.30 mm is adopted, so that the mesh density of the area with larger curvature change is ensured to be correspondingly improved. In the grid generation process, the size ratio of adjacent grid cells is not more than 1.08, so that grid distortion is avoided. For local features of the valve frame surface, such as the chamfer and transition area of the connecting part, local encryption treatment is adopted, and the mesh size is reduced to 0.15-0.18 mm.
The three-dimensional mesh model is then converted to a two-dimensional plan. First, a minimum strain energy cutting path of the valve frame surface is determined, wherein the path is obtained by minimizing the following energy functional: Wherein Gij and Gij are Riemann metric tensor components before and after deformation, αi is a weight coefficient, ij represents a row-column index of the control point, i ranges from 0 to n (n=4, four bezier surfaces), and j ranges from 0 to m (m=4, four bezier surfaces). Determining a cutting path through iterative calculation, and expanding the three-dimensional curved surface along the path. In the expansion process, for a standard of the nominal size of the first valve frame 130 of 19 mm, the expansion reference point coordinates are set to be (0, 0), and the two-dimensional coordinates of the grid nodes are calculated sequentially in the circumferential direction.
And determining the actual size according to the unfolded plan view. For different specifications of the valve frame width in the range of 19-31 mm, a parameterized model is established for size conversion. Taking the 19 mm specification as an example, the actual circumference L of the first valve leaflet 130 is calculated by the following correction formula: Wherein r is the nominal radius of the valve frame, In the event of a local curvature deviation,AndFor correction coefficients, values 0.0625 and 0.0278 were taken, respectively. And correspondingly adjusting correction coefficients for the valve frames with different specifications. Based on the calculation result, critical dimensions are marked on the plan view, and an operation margin of 4.0-4.5 mm is reserved.
After determining the planar unfolded size, the actual cut size of the cloth was calculated according to the three-layer wrap structure required by the ISO 5840 standard. The overlap between the wrapping layers is considered, and the overlap amount of 6.0-6.5 mm is additionally increased on the basis of the circumferential dimension. For the dimension in the vertical direction, the hemming margin of 8.5-9.0 mm is increased on the reference height. And precisely folding the cut cloth along a set folding line, determining the position of the folding line through laser positioning, and controlling the positioning precision within 0.05 mm. Finally, ironing and shaping is carried out under the condition that the temperature is constantly controlled at 121 ℃, and the ironing pressure is kept at 0.18-0.20 megapascals for 15-20 seconds.
Returning to the step of sewing the first flap frame 130, after the molding, the first flap frame 130 is unfolded into a plan view according to the width and circumference of the first flap frame 130, and the first flap frame is folded in half according to the number of wrapping layers, and then the marks are ironed. Preferably, in one embodiment, after the three-dimensional modeling of the first valve leaflet frame 130 is completed, a planar deployment is required according to its actual dimensional parameters. The primary parameters of the first valve frame 130 include the design width range of the nominal valve size 19-31 millimeters and the corresponding circumference. The number of wrapping layers is determined to be 3 according to the requirements of the ISO 5840 standard, and an operation allowance of 4.0-4.5 mm is reserved on the unfolded view. And folding the cut cloth in half, ironing at the temperature of 121 ℃ for 15-20 seconds to ensure that folds are clear. In this process, the doubling of the cloth must be accurate, and the deviation should not exceed 0.5 mm, to ensure accuracy of subsequent processing.

Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of a process for wrapping an annulus and suturing the wrapped annulus to a valve body to obtain a polymeric valve according to an embodiment of the present application. In one implementation, the annulus 110 fixation may be performed by sewing the trimmed annulus 110 directly under the second valve seat 310 of the valve body according to the second valve seat 310 perforation, using a needle-back suture to fix the annulus 110. Preferably, the pre-prepared annulus 110 formed by cutting a medical grade felt is positioned according to the perforated position of the second valve seat 310, wherein the annulus 110 has a thickness of between 2.5-3.0 mm. As shown in fig. 10, the short ends of the annuloplasty wrap 150 are aligned and continuously sewn into a ring shape, the annulus 110 is placed in the middle of the annuloplasty wrap 150, the annulus 110 is sewn into the annulus wrap 150 by needle hiding, the stitches are tightened to form a wrapped felt annulus, the wrapped annulus 110 or the felt annulus is fixed under the second valve seat 310 by needle returning sewing with 5-0 specification stitches, the needle pitch during sewing is controlled to be 2.5-3.0 mm, and the depth is kept to be 2.0-2.5 mm. Care should be taken to maintain a uniform tension during suturing, typically between 0.8 and 1.0 newtons, so that localized deformation is avoided. Reinforcing stitching is added in the high stress area, and the stitch length of the reinforcing stitching is kept between 2.0 and 2.5 mm. After the fixation is completed, the entire annulus 110 needs to be checked in all directions in accordance with the ISO 5840 standard.

The embodiment of the application discloses a polymer valve applying the suture preparation method according to any one of the above embodiments, which comprises an annulus 110, a first valve seat 120, a first valve frame 130, valve leaflets 140, a valve frame wrapping cloth and a valve seat wrapping cloth, wherein the annulus 110 is arranged at the bottom of the valve, an annular structure is adopted, the upper surface of the annulus 110 is connected with the valve seat 120, the valve seat 120 is of an annular step-shaped structure, the inner side wall of the annulus 120 is provided with a groove for installing the valve leaflets 140, the outer peripheral wall of the annulus is matched with the annulus 110, the upper surface of the valve seat 120 is provided with a positioning structure matched with the valve frame 130, and the positioning structure comprises a plurality of bosses uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the valve seat 120. The valve frame 130 is composed of three struts, the lower ends of the struts are fixedly connected with the positioning structure on the valve seat 120, the upper ends of the struts are mutually connected to form a supporting structure, the valve blades 140 are made of high polymer materials and are in a sheet shape, and the edges of the valve blades are fixedly connected with the valve seat 120 and the valve frame 130 through suture lines. The valve frame wrapping cloth 210 covers the surface of the valve frame 130 and is fixed by a needle-back stitching mode, and the valve seat wrapping cloth 220 covers the outer surface of the valve seat 120 and is fixed by a needle-back stitching mode.
In one embodiment, the flap seat wrapping cloth is made by a special sewing process by folding the cut flap seat wrapping cloth in half to make the inner side edge slightly longer than the outer side edge by about 2mm, and then aligning the left and right ends and ironing to form folds. After the flap seat wrapping cloth is unfolded, the left end and the right end are sewn in a crisscross sewing mode to form a barrel-shaped structure. After the valve seat 120 is placed in the valve seat wrapping cloth, the valve seat 120 is fixed inside the valve seat wrapping cloth through a back needle sewing process, and the needle pitch of the sewing thread is kept between 1.5 and 2.5 millimeters. The redundant flap seat wrapping cloth is fixed on the surface of the original flap seat wrapping cloth in a continuous sewing mode after being folded. The installation of the flap frame wrapping cloth needs to consider the joint treatment, namely, a diagonal connection and butt joint backstitch sewing method is adopted at the joint, and after the sewing is completed, two triangular cloth materials are unfolded and ironed, so that the joint is ensured to be flat. When the leaflet frame 130 is placed in the leaflet frame wrapper, a gap of about 1 millimeter is maintained between the leaflet frame and the leaflet seat wrapper, which is designed to facilitate subsequent fixation of the leaflet 140.
In the mounting process of the leaflet 140, a positioning suture technique is adopted, namely, firstly, the lowest point of the three leaflets 140 is aligned with the lowest position of the valve seat 120, and the suture thread is penetrated out through a special positioning hole and is temporarily fixed. Subsequently, a continuous suture is applied along the top of both sides of the valve seat 120, and the suture is suspended and reserved at the second pilot hole. The left suture of the valve seat 120 needs to be sewn from left to right at the reserved part of the valve leaflet 140, the reserved part is folded inwards and then is penetrated out to the right, the right suture needs to be penetrated out to the left, and the two sutures are finally knotted and fixed. The suture after the fixation is wrapped by the wrapping cloth of the valve seat by the left side and the right side, and finally the suture passes through the positioning hole at the vertex. In the triple fixation of the leaflet 140, the leaflet frame 130 and the valve seat 120, three equal-length sutures are first prepared, the lowest points of the three members are found, and the sutures are threaded out from the positioning holes of the leaflet 140. The needle needs to sequentially pass through the valve frame 130, the valve leaflet 140 and the valve seat wrapping cloth according to a specific path to form a first suture, then pass through the valve leaflet 140 and the valve frame 130 from the valve seat 120, and pass out in a winding way to complete a second suture, and the steps are repeated until the suture is sewn at the top point of the valve frame 130 and knotted and fixed. Finally, the pre-cut annulus 110 is fixed below the valve seat 120 by a needle-back stitching mode through a positioning hole on the valve seat 120, and the whole valve is assembled.
