    摘要: A system for ligating a uterine artery in a patient generally includes a suture transfer tool, suture transfer darts, and one or more sutures. The suture transfer tool includes an upper jaw that is pivotally joined to a lower jaw. The lower jaw of the tool includes a number of suture capturing pins. The suture transfer darts are configured to be tissue piercing and are positionable within the suture capturing pins. Each end of the suture is connected to a suture transfer dart. When operating the tool, the suture transfer darts pierce through the tissue to either side of a patient's cardinal ligament, which contains the uterine artery, and simultaneously present an end of the suture to either side of the cardinal ligament. As such, the suture is in an open loop configuration about the cardinal ligament and can be tied tight to the ligament to occlude the uterine artery.

    摘要: A design and method of manufacture are disclosed for a cavity measurement device used during surgical procedures. The cavity measurement device includes an inflation tube assembly comprising an elongated tube having a distal end and a proximal end and a balloon mounted at the distal end of the elongated tube. The elongated tube and the balloon comprise dissimilar materials and include an adhesive free seal between the elongated tube and the balloon. The inflatable balloon is inserted into a cavity and inflated with a volume of fluid, whereby the balloon volume represents the cavity volume. The mechanical attachment of the balloon onto the tube is substantially leakproof and has an attachment strength greater than the balloon material tensile strength. The mechanical attachment of the present invention substantially eliminates the potential for bond separation and preparatory operations typically associated with adhesive bonds.
