摘要： A device dispenses surgical fasteners inside a body and generates marks outside the body indicating where the surgical fasteners have been dispensed inside the body. The device includes a first member having a surgical fastener dispenser opening, and a second member coupled with the first member, the second member having a distal end that opposes the surgical fastener dispenser opening. The device includes a marking assembly secured to the distal end of the second member. The marking assembly is moveable away from and toward the surgical fastener dispenser opening. The marking assembly is adapted for generating marks on an external surface that mirror the location of each surgical fastener dispensed from the surgical fastener dispenser opening. The device may include a clamp for compressing tissue between the marking assembly and the surgical fastener dispenser.

摘要： A clamping device for dispensing surgical fasteners includes a lower arm having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal and distal ends, and an upper arm pivotally connected with the lower arm. An actuator is coupled with the upper and lower arms for moving the distal ends of the arms toward one another for closing the clamping device. A surgical fastener dispenser is secured to the distal end of the lower arm. The dispenser includes a cartridge body having a top surface with a surgical fastener dispenser opening. A pad is pivotally connected to the distal end of the upper arm. When the clamping device is closed, a bottom surface of the pad applies a clamping force upon the top surface of the cartridge body for dispensing one of the surgical fasteners at an angle that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

摘要： The present invention is directed to curable compositions that comprise a non-porous substrate, one or more cyanoacrylate polymerization initiators and a prepolymer composition comprising at least one liquid cyanoacrylate monomer or mixture of such monomers (solid or liquid) and/or cyanoacrylate oligomers. The non-porous substrate is a collection of individual particulates that are not bound, bonded or fixed to one another. At least one initiator is deposited on the surface of the individual particulates to form a plurality of initiator carriers. The prepolymer composition receives the plurality of initiator carriers to begin a controlled and consistent polymerization or curing of the liquid cyanoacrylate monomer in order to produce a biocompatible adhesive composition for use on living tissue. The present invention also provides for methods of making and using and devices for such a curable compositions, particularly in treating living tissue by applying to living tissue a biocompatible adhesive composition.
