Abstract:
An anchorage guide for a trocar comprising a tubular body (1) , formed by a plurality of substantially circular sectors (Ia) , radially moveable from and towards the longitudinal axis of the tubular body between a first position wherein they flank each other according to a first substantially circular arrangement with diameter equal to that of said tubular body, and a second position wherein they result equidistant from each other according to a second substantially circular arrangement of greater diameter than that of the first arrangement. Each of the sectors is rotatably connected to a support element (4) and manual operation means (7) are provided, moveably connected to said support element, for moving the sectors from the first to the second position and vice versa.
Abstract:
Endoscopic surgery system, for catching and closing anheart auricle in such a way to prevent the blood flow into the auricle cavity, comprising: -a ring-shaped tightening element (3), which tightens a noose (2) around the auricle to be occluded;5 -a main hollow body (4); -a push slider (7), housedin the main body (4) and sliding therein, whose push member (7) in turn has a proximal portion (10) perforated longitudinally in such a way to allow the passage of the noose (2)ends, such proximal portion (10) being capable to cooperate with the tightening element (3) in such a manner to drivingit intothe 10 occlusionmovement.

Abstract:
A surgical instrument for easing the anastomosis of the urethra in laparoscopic prostatectomy comprising a cannula (1), suitable for being inserted into the urethra from the penis until it reaches the resection point downstream of the prostate with its distal end (1a), and equipped with radial openings (5) close to the distal end, and a plurality of needle-shaped elements (7) housed in the cannula close to the distal end and suitable for projecting for a controlled extent through the radial openings to transfix the urethra anchoring it to the cannula. Means (8, 10, 20) are foreseen for moving the needle-shaped elements (7) from a position completely retracted in said cannula to a position projecting from it so that it is substantially inclined forwards. In this way, the surgeon can actuate said means from the proximal end of the cannula to make the needle-shaped elements project from the radial openings adjusting the amount that they project up to the transfixion of the urethra, for whereby the retraction of the remaining stump of urethra can be avoided.
Abstract:
Surgical forceps for forming purse string sutures, which forceps comprise a first (1) and a second arm (2) with respective handling ends (1a, 2a) and operating ends. The two arms are slidingly connected one to the other with their longitudinal axes substantially parallel and a male gripping element (6) and a female gripping element (7) are respectively provided at their operative ends, one faced towards the other in an axial direction, suitable for taking in a fold of tissue (14) of the organ to which the suture has to be applied. The male element comprises at least one transverse ridge (6b), and the female element at least one transverse groove (7b), suitable for engaging mutually to take in the fold of tissue therebetween, whereby the latter takes on a wave-like configuration when the forceps are in the closure condition. The male element and the female element, once mutually engaged, define a passageway (11) perpendicularly to the ridge and to the transverse groove for the passage of a suture needle (12).
