摘要： A medical instrument comprising: (a) a first joint comprising a first member and a second member, the first member configured to be repositionable with respect to the second member in a first degree of freedom; (b) a second joint operatively coupled to the first joint, the second joint comprising a third member and a fourth member, the third member configured to be repositionable with respect to the fourth member in a second degree of freedom; (c) a pair of repositionable jaws operatively coupled to the first joint and the second joint; (d) an open-ended occlusion clip detachably mounted to the pair of repositionable jaws; and, (e) a controller operatively coupled to the first joint, the second joint, and the pair of repositionable jaws, the controller including a first control configured to direct repositioning of at least one of the first member and the second member, and a second control configured to direct repositioning of at least one of the third member and the fourth member, and a third control configured to direct repositioning of the pair of repositionable jaws, the third control including a line operatively coupled to the first and second jaws in at least a gun tackle pulley configuration.

摘要： Cryosurgical devices, such as cryosurgical probes (cryoprobes) are disclosed. Some example embodiments may include an elongated shaft at least partially housing or delineating a fluid supply conduit and a fluid exhaust conduit, the elongated shaft including a distal ablation section terminating at a closed distal end, a housing at least partially circumscribing at least a portion of a proximal end of the elongated shaft and receiving or delineating at least a portion of the fluid supply conduit and a portion of the fluid exhaust conduit; and/or a flow restricting element in fluid communication with the fluid exhaust conduit, the flow restricting element regulating the flow of fluid through at least a portion of the fluid exhaust conduit.

摘要： Cryosurgical devices, such as cryosurgical probes (cryoprobes) are disclosed. Some example embodiments may include a cryogenic probe comprising an elongated tube at least partially housing or delineating a fluid supply conduit and a fluid exhaust conduit, the elongated tube including a distal ablation section terminating at a closed distal end, the elongated tube including at least one stagnant fluid pocket interposing an exterior of the conduit and at least one of the fluid supply conduit and the fluid exhaust conduit, and a housing at least partially circumscribing at least a portion of a proximal end of the elongated tube and receiving or delineating at least a portion of the fluid supply conduit and a portion of the fluid exhaust conduit.
