摘要:
A prosthesis (10) including a support structure (22) for enhancing kink and/or crush resistance. The support structure (22) is connected to an outer surface (16) of the prosthesis (10) and includes at least two components (23, 24), one of which has a lower melting point than the other. The component with the lower melting point is used to connect the support structure (22) to the outer surface of the prosthesis (10).
摘要:
A multiple power-source housing adapted to prevent simultaneous removal of more than a single power source, such as a battery, at a time. In an example embodiment, the power-source housing is used to house batteries for an intra-aortic balloon pump, which use battery power during transport. The power-source housing holds a first and second power source. When the first power source is removed, a mechanism, such as a knob, prevents simultaneous removal of the second power source or removal of the second power source until the first power source is replaced. Similarly, when the second power source is removed the mechanism prevents simultaneous removal of the first power source or removal of the first power source until the second power source is replaced.

摘要:
A surgical blower for providing a directed stream to clear a surgical site, that can be used in multiple different use modes. In one use mode, the surgical blower is handheld by a user during operation. In another mode, a distal end portion of the blower is fixed to a foot of a stabilizer instrument and the handle of the blower is handheld. In another mode, a distal end portion of the blower is fixed to a foot of a stabilizer instrument and the handle of the blower is fixed to a stationary object such as a sternal retractor. In another mode, the distal end of the blower is free and the handle of the blower is fixed to a stationary object. An apparatus including a blower and a stabilizer is provided. Methods of using the blower as well as the apparatus are also provided.
摘要:
A surgical instrument includes an elongated body having a distal end, a proximal end, and a bore extending between the distal and proximal ends, a pair of jaws for severing vessel mounted on the distal end of the body, wherein at least one of the jaws has an electrically conductive material, and a handle coupled to the proximal end of the elongated body, wherein in a first mode of operation, the electrically conductive material is for receiving energy from a DC source, and in a second mode of operation, the electrically conductive material is for receiving energy from a RF source.

The present disclosure is generally directed towards methods and devices for reducing or eliminating reflection-illuminated artifacts. The methods and devices in several embodiments can include providing a transparent lens cover with a blocking member for reflecting or absorbing internally-reflected light. The lens cover can be attached at the distal end of an endoscope, cannula, and/or lumen in some embodiments. Alternatively, the lens cover can be a permanent part of the endoscope, lumen, and/or cannula.
摘要:
A surgical instrument includes a mount body, an arm, a joint, and a tool; the mount body configured to mount to a retractor, a bottom surface of the mount body facing the retractor when mounted, a front edge of the mount body running at an angle to the bottom surface; the arm pivotally connected on a proximal end of the arm via the joint to or along the front edge of the mount body; the tool connected to a distal end of the arm; the arm configured to be movable between a plurality of positions relative to the mount body and to be temporarily lockable in these positions; and the joint configured such that a proximal portion of the arm extending from and adjacent the mount body is pivotable to and temporarily lockable in a position substantially perpendicular to the mount body along portions of the front edge.
