A surgical access assembly and method of use is disclosed. The surgical access assembly comprises an outer sheath and an obturator. The outer sheath and obturator are configured to be delivered to an area of interest within the brain. Either the outer sheath or the obturator may be configured to operate with a navigational system to track the location of either device within the brain.

A surgical access assembly and method of use is disclosed. The surgical access assembly comprises an outer sheath and an obturator. The outer sheath and obturator are configured to be delivered to an area of interest within the brain. Either the outer sheath or the obturator may be configured to operate with a navigational system to track the location of either within the brain. Once positioned at a desired location, the obturator is removed, leaving a distal end of the outer sheath adjacent an area of interest, and creating a working corridor. Interventional devices may be introduced to the area of interest, as well as a variety of treatments. A subsequent treatment process may also be employed.

A tissue removal device is disclosed. In one arrangement, the tissue removal device includes a cutting member operatively connected to an actuator assembly and a fixed member. The cutting member is configured to slide with respect to the fixed member in a reciprocating manner. The fixed member includes an upwardly extending foot plate that defines a contact surface that is configured with an uneven texture that serves as a grip to operatively retain material to be cut when the cutting member is moved toward the foot plate.

A tissue cutting device includes an outer cannula, and axially fixed inner member, an actuation assembly, a slidable shuttle member, and a vacuum fitting configured to connect to a vacuum source. The outer cannula is configured for selective rotation. The shuttle member is operatively connected to the outer cannula to reciprocate the outer cannula. The axially fixed inner member is disposed within the outer cannula.

Holding arrangements for a surgical access assembly are disclosed. One holding arrangement includes a body portion, an engagement barrel and a retaining member. The retaining member is configured as a hook at a distal end of the body portion and is sized to partially encircle a portion of an outer sheath. The engagement barrel is position on a proximal end of the body portion and is configured to be operatively connected to a surgical holding arrangement.

A tissue cutting device especially suited for neurosurgical applications is disclosed and described. The device includes a handpiece and an outer cannula in which a reciprocating inner cannula is disposed. At least one position transducer for tracking a location in space of the tissue cutting device is rigidly associated with the handpiece. The position transducer is operable for sending a signal indicative of a location of a distal end of the outer cannula. The tissue cutting device may also include an angular position sensor for determining an angular position of the outer cannula relative to the position transducer.
摘要:
A system for treating a lesion site of a patient is disclosed. The system includes a cannula having a lumen, a conduit in communication with said lumen, an introducer stylet removably disposed within said cannula, a resecting device selectively insertable within said cannula, and an adjuvant treatment device selectively insertable within said cannula.

A tissue cutting device that is especially suited for neurosurgical applications is disclosed and described. The device includes a handpiece and an outer cannula in which a reciprocating inner cannula is disposed. The device is configured to provide multiple functions during a surgical procedure, in addition to resecting tissue, with a single insertion of the device into a patient.
