A sphincter assist device includes a plurality of interconnected and adjacent links which define a ring. Each link includes a body section and a latch cam. The body section includes a first set of side beams and a first set of snap arms. The latch cam includes a post extending from the body section and a cam disposed at an end portion of the post. The cam is engagable with the first set of snap arms of an adjacent link. Translation of the cam displaces the first set of snap arms and the first set of side beams to transition the sphincter assist device between open and closed configurations. The first set of snap arms, in combination with the first set of side beams, exert a positive non-linear force profile on the cam, thus defining a non-linear force profile of the sphincter assist device between the open and closed configurations.

Provided in accordance with the present disclosure are systems for identifying a position of target tissue relative to surgical tools using a structured light detector. An exemplary system includes antennas configured to interact with a marker placed proximate target tissue inside a patient's body, a structured light pattern source, a structured light detector, a display device, and a computing device configured to receive data from the antennas indicating interacting with the marker, determine a distance between the antennas and the marker, cause the structured light pattern source to project and detect a pattern onto the antennas. The instructions may further cause the computing device to determine, a pose of the antennas, determine, based on the determined distance between the antennas and the marker, and the determined pose of the antennas, a position of the marker relative to the antennas, and display the position of the marker relative to the antennas.

An electrosurgical instrument includes a housing, an elongated shaft, and an end-effector assembly. The proximal end of the shaft is operably associated with the housing. The end-effector assembly is operably coupled to the distal end of the shaft and includes first and second jaw members. Each of the first and second jaw members includes a sealing plate and a bipolar electrode. Either one or both of the first and second jaw members is movable from a position in spaced relation relative to the other jaw member to at least one subsequent position wherein the sealing plates cooperate to grasp tissue therebetween. The electrosurgical instrument includes a semiconductor switch operably coupled to at least one of the sealing plates and at least one of the bipolar electrodes. The semiconductor switch is configured to enable user selection between energizing the at least one sealing plate or the at least one bipolar electrode.
摘要:
An electrosurgical suction coagulator is disclosed having improved thermal insulation between the active electrode and adjacent tissue. In embodiments, passive insulation is used to control the transfer of thermal energy from an electrosurgical electrode into surrounding tissue. Braided, closed-sell foam material, and open cell foam materials may be used to thermally insulate the outer surface of a suction coagulator shaft from an inner electrode. In embodiments, a suction coagulator shaft includes an external covering formed from open-cell foam material, which may be saturated with a coolant, such as water or saline, to increase the thermal mass of the shaft. In other embodiments, active cooling delivers coolant to the operative site. In yet other embodiments, a suction coagulator shaft includes a cooling jacket through which coolant is passed to actively cool the instrument. The improved electrosurgical suction coagulator disclosed herein may have a reduced operating surface temperatures which may result in reduced risk of undesirable effects to adjacent tissue, and may result in reduced operative times and improved patient outcomes.
