    摘要: A knot tying device comprises a knotting guide which carries a pair of snare cords. Each snare cord comprises a suture capture end and a pull end. The snare cords are carried within the knotting guide in a loose, knotted configuration. By capturing a pair of free suture ends in the suture capture ends of the snare cords, the knotted configuration originally embodied in the snare cords can be transferred to the free suture ends by pulling those ends through the knotting guide.

    摘要: A device for closing an opening in tissue includes a shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, and at least one pin associated with a distal end the shaft. A flexible guidebody extends from the distal end of the shaft, while a foot associated with the device is movable with respect to the shaft through the pin connected to at least one slot of the foot. Another device for closing an opening in tissue includes a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end. A plurality of feet are disposed proximate the distal end of the shaft, the plurality of feet being movable with respect to the shaft. The device further includes a flexible guidebody extending from the distal end of the shaft.

    摘要: Included in the terms of a purchase or lease agreement, particularly pertaining to automobiles, a party having a business relationship with the seller or lessor, or the seller or lessor itself, agrees to provide a policy, including at least collision and/or comprehensive coverage, to a qualified buyer. The insurance coverage protects against losses related to the item being purchased or leased for a predetermined period of time. To be qualified, the purchaser or lessor must reside in a particular geographic region and purchase or lease, for example, a particular make and model of automobile. No further characteristics of the purchaser or lessor are considered in obtaining the insurance policy. The sale or lease of the item and provision of the insurance policy may be completed over a computer network, such as the Internet.

    摘要: Devices, systems, and methods for suturing of body lumens allow the suturing of vascular puncture sites located at the distal end of a percutaneous tissue tract. An elongated articulated foot near a distal end of a shaft is inserted through the penetration and actuated so that the foot extends along the lumenal axis. The foot carries suturing attachment cuffs, and needles are advanced from the shaft through the vessel wall outside of the penetration and into engagement with the needle cuffs after the foot has been drawn proximally up against the endothelial surface of the blood vessel. The cross-section of the shaft within the tissue tract can be minimized by laterally deflecting the needles as they leave the shaft, while tapered depressions within the foot can guide the advancing needles into engagement with the cuffs. The cuffs lockingly engage the needles and can be withdrawn proximally along the needle paths and through the tissue tract so as to form a loop of suture across the puncture. The articulating foot may be realigned with the shaft and withdrawn proximally through the tissue tract without dilating the tissue tract. The suture may be provided with a bight between first and second ends, the bight including one or more loops prearranged to define a pre-tied knot when one or more ends of the suture passed therethrough. A suture cutting blade may be positioned on the device such that when the needle is withdrawn from the device, the suture can be drawn across the blade to sever the suture.

    摘要翻译: 用于缝合体腔的装置,系统和方法允许缝合位于经皮组织道远端的血管穿刺部位。 在轴的远端附近的细长的铰接脚插入穿过并被致动,使得脚沿着内腔轴线延伸。 脚承载缝合附着袖口,并且针从轴穿过穿透外部的血管壁前进,并且在足部被近端拉到血管的内皮表面之后与针箍接合。 当针在离开轴时横向偏转针,组织道内的轴的横截面可以被最小化,而脚内的锥形凹陷可以引导前进的针与袖口接合。 袖口锁定地接合针,并且可以沿着针路径并通过组织管向近端撤回,以便在穿刺部分上形成缝合线。 关节脚可以与轴重新对准并且在组织管道的近侧退回,而不会扩张组织管道。 缝合线可以在第一和第二端之间设置有弯曲部,当缝线的一个或多个端部通过其时,包括一个或多个环的预定布置以限定预先绑扎的结。 缝线切割刀片可以定位在装置上,使得当针从装置中取出时,可以将缝合线拉过刀片以切断缝合线。
