    摘要: The present inventions are directed to spray tips for multidirectional or three-dimensional spraying of an unmixed two-part sealant and/or hemostat comprising a first biocompatible component and a biocompatible second component onto a tissue or wound comprising: a hollow body having inside a first component distribution compartment and a second component distribution compartment, said compartments not in fluid communication with each other. The first component can contain one or more biologic components, preferably fibrinogen and the second component can contain one or more biologic component different from the first biologic component, preferably thrombin and/or thrombin precursors. The present inventions are also directed to methods of spraying the unmixed two-part sealant or hemostat using the spray tip and associated components described above by simultaneously expressing the first component and the second component from the syringes.

    摘要: A tissue resection apparatus (1100) is provided which includes an outer tube (1105) with a helical coil (1110) disposed on a distal end. The coil is provided with a first electrode (1130). A central tube (1200) has a distal edge profile comprising one or more surface segments. One of the surface segments includes a second electrode (1205). The central tube (1200) is slidably disposed within the outer tube (1105) and positioned such that second electrode (1205) opposes at least a portion of the first electrode (1130). A cutting tube (1300) is slidably disposed within the central tube (1200) and includes a cutting edge.

    摘要: An applicator instrument for dispensing surgical fasteners includes a housing and a curved shaft. Surgical fasteners are disposed within the curved shaft for being dispensed from the distal end of the curved shaft. An advancer is disposed inside the curved shaft for shifting the surgical fasteners one position closer to the distal end of the curved shaft each time the advancer moves distally. A firing element is disposed inside the curved shaft and is movable between the proximal and distal ends of the curved shaft for dispensing the surgical fasteners from the distal end of the curved shaft. A staging assembly is adapted to receive a leading one of the surgical fasteners from the advancer as the advancer moves distally to shift the leading surgical fastener into substantial alignment with the firing element when the advancer moves proximally. A firing system for dispensing the leading surgical fastener from the distal end of the curved shaft. The firing system includes an energy storing element coupled with the firing element, wherein the firing system has a firing cycle with a first stage for advancing the firing element toward the distal end of the curved shaft at a first rate of speed and a second stage for advancing the firing element toward the distal end of the curved shaft at a second rate of speed that is greater than the first rate of speed, and wherein the firing system is adapted to store energy in the energy storing element before the second stage of the firing cycle and transfer the stored energy from the energy storing element to the firing rod during the second stage of the firing cycle.
