    摘要: A method for identifying and treating tissue includes providing an electrosurgical treatment device including an electrode assembly. One or more electrical property values of target tissue are measured. The measured electrical property values of the target tissue are compared against electrical property values of known tissue types. A tissue type of the target tissue is identified. An energy delivery configuration of the electrosurgical treatment device is adjusted to the type of target tissue. The electrosurgical treatment device is activated to treat the target tissue.

    摘要: Embodiments provide systems and methods for displaying a fluid responsiveness predictor (FRP) based on an analysis a physiological signal detected by a physiological sensor applied to a patient. A method may include detecting the signal of the patient with the physiological sensor, determining an FRP with a FRP determination module, wherein the determining operation comprises analyzing at least one characteristic of the physiological signal over time to determine the FRP, receiving a report request to report the FRP at a requested time through a user interface, generating a reported FRP in relation to the requested time using the FRP determination module, and displaying the reported FRP on a display. The displaying operation may include displaying the FRP using at least one graphic representation.

    摘要: An articulating surgical instrument includes a housing having a shaft extending therefrom, the shaft having a proximal segment and a distal segment separated by an articulation section configured to articulate the distal segment relative to the proximal segment upon actuation thereof. The articulating section includes: a ball joint having a plurality of opposing spherical segments, each adjacent pair of spherical segments defining a channel therebetween configured to receive an articulation cable therethrough, each channel including an angled surface on opposing sides thereof to allow articulation of each cable along a respective length thereof; and a pair of casings configured to operably receive and retain the ball joint on opposing ends thereof, each casing including a chamfer defined therein configured to rotationally receive an end of the ball joint therein, each casing including a corresponding number of apertures defined therein each configured to receive a respective articulation cable therethrough.

    摘要: A surgical instrument includes an ultrasonic transducer supported by a housing and an elongated assembly extending distally therefrom. The elongated assembly includes a jaw and a waveguide coupled to the transducer and defining a blade having upper and lower tissue-contacting surface and first and second lateral surfaces disposed therebetween that are coated with a material. The jaw is pivotable relative to the blade and includes a structural base having a backspan and first and second uprights extending from the backspan. The jaw further includes a jaw liner supported within the structural base and positioned to oppose the upper tissue-contacting surface with the first and second uprights disposed on either side of the blade. In an ultrasonic mode, ultrasonic energy produced by the transducer is transmitted along the waveguide to the blade. In an electrosurgical mode, electrosurgical energy is conducted between the blade and the first and second uprights.

    摘要: A system includes a processor, a memory configured to store a digital model of the colon and previous anomalies in the digital model based on previous colonoscopy data and to include instructions stored therein. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the system to access a frame image captured by a colonoscope, process the frame image to detect current anomalies and debris, display the frame image on a display, display a first shape at positions of the previous anomalies in the frame image based on correlation between the frame image and the digital model, and display a second shape at positions of the current anomalies in the frame image.

    摘要: A surgical stapling apparatus includes a buttress retention assembly. The buttress retention assembly includes a sleeve configured to be detachably coupled with a first jaw member of a tool assembly of the surgical stapling apparatus, and a buttress material. The sleeve includes a proximal hook extending transversely outward from a lateral side of the sleeve, and a mouth including a hook configured to be received in a knife slot of the first jaw member. The mouth includes an inner surface having an inwardly extending boss. The buttress material includes a tab extending transversely outward from a lateral side thereof. The tab defines a proximal slot configured to receive the proximal hook of the sleeve. At least a portion of the distal end portion extends through the mouth of the sleeve. The distal end portion defines a distal slot dimensioned to receive the boss of the sleeve.
