Marvelous design, it's agreed, and wonderful news for many parents.
"They found that the new prosthetic works across a wide range of sizes and retains its functionality when expanded via a minimally invasive balloon catheter procedure."

Well, not so new, and the designer wasn't on their team.
"The new design is inspired by human venous valves in the leg, which have just two leaflets and a geometry optimised to maintain closure and one-way flow even when the veins expand in diameter to accommodate larger volumes of blood passing through."

Some of you have to stop reading here; Bible coming.

"How many your works are, O Jehovah! You have made all of them in wisdom. The earth is full of what you have made."
PS 104:24
