摘要： A mesh delivery system for sacral colpopexy procedures is disclosed. The system uses a mesh stabilizer (30) that is introduced in a compressed configuration through a surgical port into the abdomen, and a vaginal probe (10) (inserted through the vagina) with a magnetic or non-magnetic head that engages with the mesh stabilizer (30), anchoring it in position. The mesh stabilizer (30) employs a pseudoelastic shape memory alloy, and folds compact to deliver multiple mesh straps or a single Y-shaped surgical mesh in a streamlined configuration into the abdomen for facilitating the sacral colpopexy procedure. After delivery, the stabilizer (30) expands to a functional configuration where it interfaces with the probe (10) head and stabilizes and adjustably feeds the mesh strap(s) for suturing while maintaining stabilization of the mesh on the vaginal apex and while keeping excess mesh from obscuring the surgeons view. After suturing, the stabilizer can be removed back through the surgical port.

摘要： A mesh delivery system (2) for sacral colpopexy procedures is disclosed. The system (2) uses a mesh stabilizer (30), an endoscopic introducer (2) that carries the mesh stabilizer (30) into the abdomen, and a vaginal probe (10) (inserted through the vagina) with a head that interfaces with the mesh stabilizer (30) in lock-and-key fashion. The mesh stabilizer (30) delivers mesh straps for sacral colpopexy into the abdomen. After delivery, the stabilizer (30) interfaces with the probe (10) head and locks the mesh stabilizer (30) with mesh straps in place. The endoscopic introducer (20) can then be temporarily detached and removed to facilitate suturing of the mesh to the anterior and posterior vaginal walls. After permanent suturing, the introducer (20) can be reinserted and used to retrieve the mesh stabilizer (30) component.

摘要： A sacral mesh fixation device and method of use for sacral colpopexy. The sacral mesh fixation device comprises multiple hinged sections pivoted together at opposite ends and adapted to clamp one or more strips of sacral mesh there between. A latching mechanism is provided for releasably latching the opposing sections shut, thereby releasably clamping the sacral mesh to allow verification of tension. A sequential latching mechanism is provided to fixedly lock the fixation device to the sacral mesh by latching the remaining section to the prior sections. At least one of the sections may be sutured to tissue and the sacral mesh inserted between the sections and releasably clamped in place, thereby releasably affixing the mesh to the tissue or fixedly locking the mesh to the device thereby permanently locking the mesh to the tissue. To use the device, a single mesh fixation device or a plurality of mesh fixation devices may be introduced through a trocar into the abdomen, positioned in a single or supporting array, and sutured to surrounding tissue. The sacral mesh is then clamped between opposing sections of the mesh fixation device(s), thereby temporarily suspending the mesh in a sling. However, the fixation devices can be reopened to facilitate easy readjustment and repositioning of the mesh sling to achieve the proper tension and position or fixedly locked for permanent support of the mesh.

摘要： A surgical instrument stabilizer system for securely holding virtually any instrument during any procedure, delivering vacuum when applicable, and yet allowing easy single-handed or voice activated repositioning by a user. The system utilizes opposing horizontal side-rails mounted to opposing sides of a surgical table, and opposing arms each slidably mounted on a side rail for global lengthwise positioning along the side rails. The arms carry a transverse beam at the foot of the operating table, and a flexible arm is movably mounted on the beam for global lengthwise positioning along the beam. Alternately, the flexible arm may be affixed directly to one of the existing horizontal side rails. The flexible arm leads to an instrument-supporting hand piece pivotally mounted for angular orientation of an instrument supported thereby. The flexible arm can be freely articulated to any position and locked in place. Thus, a supported instrument can be repositioned quickly and easily by single-handed or voice activated manipulation by a surgeon or surgical assistant, and locked in any position up and down along a vertical axis, forward and back, i.e, toward or away from the patient, and rotationally.

摘要： Described herein are a system and techniques for generating programming code from unstructured text (e.g., natural speech). To do this, upon receiving a request for programming code, the system parses unstructured text using natural language processing to identify an entity. The system then identifies a template associated with that entity. The template may also be associated with a particular programming language. Once a template has been selected, a number of parameters associated with the template are identified. The parameters are then matched to data values included in the unstructured text. Once data values have been identified for each of the parameters, the requested programming code is generated using the template and data values.

摘要： Disclosed herein is a hair-grasping EEG electrode and an insertion tool for placement of the electrode on the scalp. The electrode has a novel two-piece clamping design formed of cooperating halves that capture and tension the hair, pulling the electrode snuggly against the scalp before locking together to anchor the electrode in place. The insertion tool allows easy manipulation and fast and consistent installation without need for lengthy user training and practice. Moreover, the insertion tool assumes some of the functionality so that the electrode can be simplified, allowing a smaller footprint and part count, as well as allowing the non-conductive portions of the electrode to be disposable. Dispensing of electrolytic gel is a convenient option to improve the interface, and this may be readily dispensed from the tool, or from reservoirs integral to the electrode. The combination greatly reduces EEG study setup time and technician labor costs.
