tilbageløbsventil


Explanation:
Du skriver, at "back valve" er en forklaring af en kunstig hjerteklap. Jeg forstår derfor "back valve" som et forklarende udtryk generelt og ikke en betegnelse for en bestemt klap/ventil. Hjerteklappernes funktion er jo netop at forhindre tilbageløb.

kugleventil


Explanation:
I believe this is the one you are looking for. It is the valve that automatically closes in the to stop back-flow of blood. In a artificial heart, there are several types of "ventiler" - kugleventil, vippeklap - 2-fliget ventil, og den biologiske "svineaortaklap".

forgot a word. Should read \"automatically closes in the heart to stop\"

I\'m sorry to see Sven\'s remark about \"kugleventil\" crushing the blood cells. This is a valve that is found in artificial hearts and is apparently NOT doing any damage, or it would not have been manufactured for artificial hearts. Please note the exchange about \"fligede ventiler\" as noted above in the remarks.

disagree  Sven Petersson: That's like translating "fruit" to "pære"! It should also be noticed that the "kugleventil" crushes the blood cells and is therefore not he flavor of the month! - Well, it's not right to translate "fruit" with "pære eller kirsebær" either.

  -> as you can see, I gave different types (from Danish heart surgery books) and therefore suggested the fligede ventiler in the above notes to/from the asker.
