摘要:
Apparatus and methods for performing endoscopic surgical procedures where only a minimal number of (or even one) openings are required to perform the procedures. Ablation procedures, including epicardial ablation procedures and apparatus for performing such procedures. Epicardial atrial ablation may be performed epicardially with access through only one side of a patient's chest required to perform all procedures.
摘要:
A surgical blower for providing a directed stream to clear a surgical site, that can be used in multiple different use modes. In one use mode, the surgical blower is handheld by a user during operation. In another mode, a distal end portion of the blower is fixed to a foot of a stabilizer instrument and the handle of the blower is handheld. In another mode, a distal end portion of the blower is fixed to a foot of a stabilizer instrument and the handle of the blower is fixed to a stationary object such as a sternal retractor. In another mode, the distal end of the blower is free and the handle of the blower is fixed to a stationary object. An apparatus including a blower and a stabilizer is provided. Methods of using the blower as well as the apparatus are also provided.
