摘要:
An umbilical cord clip and applicator is disclosed for clamping a maternal side of an umbilical cord, applying an umbilical cord clip to a fetal side of the umbilical cord and severing the cord intermediate the clamped maternal and fetal sides of the umbilical cord. The applicator includes a first arm having a first clamping surface, a second arm movably affixed to the first arm and having a second clamping surface and structure associated with at least one the first and second arms for mounting an umbilical cord clip thereon. The applicator also includes a recessed severing mechanism operatively associated with the first and second arms and disposed intermediate the first and second clamping surfaces and the mounting structure. The severing mechanism is automatically actuable upon closure of the first and second arms about an umbilical cord to sever the cord at a location between the first and second clamping surfaces and the clip. The umbilical cord clip includes a first leg having a first clamping surface and a second leg movably affixed to the first leg and having a second clamping surface. A lock device is associated with the first and second legs for maintaining the first and second legs in a closed position about the umbilical cord. Attachment structure is also associated with at least one of the first and second legs. The attachment structure is releasably engagable with the mounting structure on the applicator to hold the umbilical cord clip on the applicator.
摘要:
An apparatus is disclosed for endoscopic application of surgical staples for fastening body tissue, especially vascular tissue. The apparatus includes a frame and an elongated endoscopic section connected to the frame and extending distally therefrom. A staple storage cartridge cooperates with the distal end of the endoscopic section and is selectively pivotal by the user. A staple firing mechanism advances an individual staple against an anvil for staple closure. Means are provided to prevent incomplete staple firing. Relative motion between the staple cartridge and the anvil clamps tissue to be stapled therebetween.The endoscopic section may be adapted for rotation about the longitudinal axis of the apparatus. Gaseous seal means located in the endoscopic section prevent escape of insufflating gas through the apparatus.

摘要:
Manual bone anchor placement devices include a lever, a force translator and a rotary force mechanism. The devices are substantially gun- or pistol-shaped and are actuated when a user squeezes the lever to the gripping portion of a handle. Manual, linear force on the lever is mechanically translated through the force translator to the rotary force mechanism which transmits a rotary force to a securing element, or coupler, which mates with a bone anchor screw. The rotation of the securing element or coupler applies a torque on the bone anchor screw thereby placing the screw into bone. Kits comprising any of: a molded flexible sleeve for enclosing a suture, a retaining clip for preventing the suture from slipping out of the sleeve, a buttress-shaped bone anchor screw comprising a micropolished eyelet for receiving a suture, and a suture which may, or may not be pre-attached to the bone anchor screw, are disclosed. A collapsible, protective cover for a bone anchor screw is also disclosed.
摘要:
A surgical instrument for applying sutures to tissue includes a needle deployment mechanism and a catch mechanism. In some embodiments, the needle deployment mechanism employs a linear path. Alternatively, it can employ a curved needle. The surgical instrument may include a rotatable head, a bend, and/or a malleable elongated body member formable into various shapes.
