    摘要: A bipolar push rod assembly is disclosed in conjunction with an endoscopic bipolar cautery scissors instrument. The push rod assembly has two conductive push rods which are substantially covered and insulated from each other by a double lumen flexible sheath. The proximal ends of the push rods are stabilized by an overmolded plastic collar and the distal ends of the push rods are stabilized by a ceramic insulator. The plastic collar is provided with a snap retainer for coupling it to a plastic plug retainer having a pair of spaced apart passages. A pair of female plug adapters are press fit onto the proximal ends of the push rods and are maintained in place by the plug retainer with each adaptor residing in a respective one of the passages. The distal ends of the push rods are swaged approximately 90.degree. in opposite directions. A ceramic insulator is disclosed as a one-piece unit into which the distal ends of the push rods are inserted. Another ceramic insulator is disclosed as a two-piece member which fits around the distal ends of the push rods. A double lumen sealing gasket which interrupts the double lumen sheath is also disclosed.

    摘要: Endoscopic bipolar scissor blades are formed in a laminate assembly of an outer electrically conductive layer, an intermediate electrically insulating layer, and an inner face layer which is a coating of titanium dioxide, chromium dioxide, or zirconium dioxide. In one embodiment, the conductive layer is a metal blade, while the insulating material is a ceramic which is fixed to the metal blade. In a second preferred embodiment, the insulating layer and the inner face layer are applied simultaneously by coating the metal blade with a mixture of ceramic and titanium dioxide, chromium dioxide, or zirconium dioxide. In a third embodiment, the insulating layer is a molded ceramic blade, and the electrically conductive layer is metalized or otherwise fixed to the ceramic blade. In all embodiments, the cutting edges and shearing surfaces are insulated from the electrodes, and no short circuit can form between the electrodes even though the cutting edges and shearing surfaces are metal. Each of the embodiments may be applied to straight or curved scissor blades. A bipolar endoscopic instrument utilizing blades according to the invention is also disclosed.

    摘要: A biopsy forceps instrument is provided having a proximal actuation handle, a flexible multi-lumen tubular member, at least one control member extending through a lumen, an irrigation means, an aspiration means, and a distal assembly. The proximal actuation handle includes a shaft and a spool slidably mounted on the shaft. The actuation handle is coupled to the proximal ends of both the flexible tubular member and the control member. Lumens of the tubular member form irrigation and aspiration conduits. The distal assembly includes a hollow jaw cup coupled to the aspiration conduit and a hollow movable jaw coupled adjacent the irrigation conduit. The movable jaw is coupled to the control member, such that actuation of the actuation handle moves the movable jaw relative to the jaw cup. Moving the hollow jaws into a closed position provides a substantially fluidtight coupling between the irrigation and aspiration conduits. The actuation handle is also provided with an assembly to control irrigation to and aspiration from the distal assembly. A proximal sample chamber having a removable screen is provided for filtering tissue samples aspirated from the distal assembly. The jaws are activated to cut a tissue sample and the irrigation and aspiration means are activated to move the sample into the sample chamber for retrieving the sample without removing the instrument from a patient.

    摘要: This invention relates to endoscopic electrocautery instruments for performing surgery on the tissue of a patient and passing current through the tissue to cause cauterization thereof. The instrument has a proximal end and a distal end and includes an elongated tube, a push rod located within the elongated tube, and a first and second end effector located adjacent a distal end of the elongated tube and controlled for relative movement by the push rod. Various arrangements are disclosed for creating a first and second cautery current path from the instrument proximal end to the first and second end effectors. In accordance with the invention, the end effectors are formed as scissor blade members having various conductive and non-conductive layer arrangements. The layer arrangements of the scissor blade members allow for different cauterization affects. Coupling arrangements between the blade members and the elongated tube are also disclosed.

    摘要: An automatic suturing instrument generally includes a proximal actuation handle assembly, a flexible tubular member, a control wire, and an end effector assembly. The control wire extends through the tubular member and the end effector-assembly is coupled to the distal end of each of the tubular member and the control wire, while the handle is coupled to the proximal end of each of the tubular member and the control wire. Actuation of the handle moves the control wire relative to the tubular member and thereby moves the end effector assembly from an open to a closed position. The end effector assembly generally includes two end effectors, a needle engaged by one of the end effectors (but which can be engaged by either end effector alternately), and a suture material. The end effector assembly further includes a needle passing mechanism that automatically alternates which end effector engages the needle each time the end effectors are moved into a closed position.

    摘要: A method for simultaneously surgically sterilizing and charging a battery, which comprises providing an inductively powered battery charger inside a selectively sealable surgical sterilization enclosure of a surgical sterilization device. The surgical sterilization device is operable to surgically sterilize at least one rechargeable battery of a battery-operated surgical instrument placed therewithin. The charger has an inductive power receiver sub-assembly operable to receive power inductively and to supply charging power to the at least one rechargeable battery. The at least one rechargeable battery is electrically charged while being surgically sterilized by supplying power inductively from a power supply positioned outside the surgical sterilization enclosure to the inductive power receiver sub-assembly through the surgical sterilization enclosure.
