摘要:
An apparatus for supporting tissue during compression prior to the insertion of a surgical element into the tissue has a substrate. The substrate is made from a predetermined material. The predetermined material has a thickness and a predetermined stress strain profile. The predetermined stress strain profile is complementary to a stress strain profile of the tissue and permits the substrate to support the tissue when the surgical element is delivered into the tissue. The substrate provides hemostasis control of the tissue when the surgical element is delivered into the tissue.

The presently disclosed debris collection system (100) includes an elongate body (110) having a first end (114), a second end (112), and a bore (116) extending therethrough. The first end (114) of the elongate body (110) is hermetically closed while the second end (112) has an opening (113). The elongated body (110) is made of an impermeable material. A cap (120) fixed to the elongated body and has a bore (127) extending therethrough. A port (130), which is attached to the cap, is designed for introducing fluid into the elongated body. A watertight seal (118), such as a gasket, is attached to the cap. The seal is also made of an impermeable material. In operation, a liquid is introduced into the debris collection system. A surgical tool must then be introduced into the system. Thereafter, a vortex is created within the system to debride debris from the surgical tool.
摘要:
A method for determining an optimal compression of tissue to apply a surgical element has the steps of applying a load to the tissue. The method has the step of determining a reactive load applied by the tissue in response to the load. The method also has the step of determining the reactive load per unit time for a predetermined time period and determining a slope of the reactive load per unit time. The method further has the steps of evaluating the slope relative to a predetermined threshold, and signaling when the slope exceeds the predetermined threshold.

A medical fastener (2) for securing tissue (T) and creating hemostatis thereon is disclosed. The fastener includes a shaft (8) having a proximal and a distal end and a head (6) disposed at a proximal end and a tip (4) disposed at a distal end. The tip is configured to penetrate the tissue and to form a mushroomed tip (9) or a modified B-formation tip (10) to secure the fastener to the tissue.
