    摘要: A first expression of apparatus for keeping clean a medical viewing scope's distal scope end includes a tube, an annular sheath, and a handpiece. The tube has a proximal end fluidly connectable to irrigation fluid and has a distal end fluidly connected to the handpiece. The sheath is surroundingly attachable to the scope and includes a lumen between the sheath's inside and outside diameters. The lumen has a substantially constant cross-sectional flow area which is substantially equal in area to the tube's cross-sectional flow area. The handpiece is in fluid communication with the proximal lumen end. The distal scope end is positioned proximate the attached sheath's distal lumen end. A second expression of the apparatus has the lumen with a substantially crescent shape without any limitation on its cross-sectional flow area. In an alternate embodiment, the lumen substantially continuously varies in cross-sectional flow area and/or irrigation flow path direction.

    摘要: Methods and devices are provided for cutting and fastening tissue. In one embodiment, a surgical device can be used to at least partially transect a stomach by not cutting and/or not fastening a portion of tissue engaged in an end effector located at the device's distal end. A portion of the stomach can be engaged by the end effector, and the end effector can be actuated to cut and/or to apply one or more fasteners to tissue engaged in a distal portion of the end effector but not to cut and/or apply fasteners to tissue engaged in a proximal portion of the end effector. In a similar way, the surgical device can be used in any surgical procedure in which it is desired to cut and/or fasten a distal portion of tissue engaged by the end effector but not a proximal portion of tissue engaged by the end effector.

    摘要: Methods and devices are provided for providing irrigation and/or suction to a surgical site and maintaining clear visibility through a lens of a scoping device during a surgical procedure. In general, the methods and devices can allow for a surgical instrument to maintain visibility during a surgical procedure using a fluid conduit coupled to the surgical instrument. A surgical device can include a sheath having at least one lumen extending therethrough configured to allow a surgical viewing instrument to be disposed therein. The sheath can also have a passageway extending therethrough configured to allow fluid to flow therethrough. The fluid conduit can be configured to be movable between positions that can allow alternative directions of fluid toward and/or away from a viewing element on the surgical instrument and fluid away from the viewing element and toward a surgical field in a body cavity.

    摘要: A surgical staple including features which can reduce bleeding from soft tissue. In various embodiments, the surgical staple can include at least one deformable member which can puncture a hole in soft tissue as it is inserted therethrough. The deformable member can include a material thereon, or can be comprised of a material, which can expand and substantially fill the puncture hole in the soft tissue. In various embodiments, at least a portion of the deformable member can be coated with a hydrophilic material which can expand when exposed to water, or other bodily fluids, and apply a compression force to the perimeter of the puncture hole. Such a compression force can reduce bleeding from the puncture hole and thereby reduce any potential complications resulting therefrom.
