ARTERIOVENOUS GRAFT SYSTEM
Abstract
An arteriovenous graft system (1), comprising - an arteriovenous graft (2) provided with a valve device (3), wherein the valve device (3) has an open state, in which fluid flow through the graft (2) is possible and a closed state, in which the fluid flow through the arteriovenous graft (2) is blocked, - wherein the graft system (1) comprises an actuator device (4) to actuate the valve device (3) between the closed state and the open state, - and wherein a transmission cable (5) connects the actuator device (4) with the valve device (3), wherein the actuator device (4) comprises at least one movable magnet (6), which at least one magnet (6) connects to a rotatable plate (7) which is equipped with a spiralled groove (7'), wherein said spiralled groove (7') receives a pin (8) that is movable in a linear path, wherein said pin (8) is connected to the transmission cable (5) so as to arrange that motion of the at least one magnet (6) translates into a linear displacement of the pin (8) and the transmission cable (5) connected thereto.
