    摘要: A method and device for incising tissue within the gastrointestinal tract is described. The device is an electrosurgical sphincterotome cutting device. The sphinctertome includes a pre-curved, heat set FEP distal tip. An electrically conductive cutting wire is positioned along the pre-curved distal tip. Manipulating a control handle tightens the cutting wire and incises and cauterizes target tissue. The curvature of the distal tip allows the sphincterotome to orient and steer itself towards a patient's sphincter as it emerges from an accessory channel of an endoscope.

    摘要: Surgical instruments are arranged for cutting and cauterizing tissue with a closed-loop wire. An extension/retraction mechanism forces a closed wire loop to constrict upon tissue enclosed by the loop as the loop is retracted and drawn to a smaller size. Simultaneously, as electrical current is passed through the wire loop and further into the tissue, the tissue is resected and cauterized. The closed wire loop is electrically coupled to a remote power source via conductor(s) which cooperate with the extension/retraction mechanisms. The extension/retraction mechanism permits the loop to be extended and retracted as it is adjusted from a first limit position towards a second limit position and respectively back again. Further, the entire instrument is devised to function in cooperation with common laparoscopic port systems. Accordingly, the retraction mechanism permits the closed wire loop to be extended and retracted through a small hollow tube which may be placed in an abdomenal port installed in a surgical process. In the alternative, these devices may be arranged with slight modification to be either bi-polar or monopolar systems.

    摘要: Superelastic and/or shape memory nickel-titanium alloys having an increased fatigue life that is superior to known nickel-titanium alloys are disclosed. The nickel-titanium alloys have a minimum fatigue life that may be at least about 10 million strain cycles at a strain of at least about 0.75. The minimum fatigue life may be due, at least in part, to the nickel-titanium alloy having at least one of an oxygen concentration of less than about 200 ppm, a carbon concentration of less than about 200 ppm, the absence of oxide-based and/or carbide-based inclusions having a size greater than about 5 microns (μm), the presence of an R-phase, or combinations of the foregoing. Articles manufactured from such fatigue-resistant nickel-titanium alloys can be more durable because they are more resistant to repetitive strain and crack propagation.
