    摘要: An access needle is provided. The access needle includes a needle housing and a needle shaft having a portion disposed within the needle housing. The access needle also includes a lumen within the needle shaft, an entry port at a proximal end of the needle shaft, and a needle tip at a distal end of the needle shaft. The access needle also includes an exit port on a sidewall of the needle shaft, wherein the exit port is disposed nearer the distal end of the needle shaft than the proximal end, and wherein the lumen extends from the entry port to the exit port. The exit port a reduced diameter from the needle shaft. Guide surfaces in the vicinity of the exit port help to reduce snagging or drag of the guide wire. The access needle tip can be formed from nitinol and the guide surfaces can be formed from UV or AB glue. A system and a method for using the access needle are also provided.

    摘要: Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zur Behandlung einer Oberfläche (2) eines Körpers (3), aufweisend den Körper (4) mit der zu behandelnden Oberfläche (2), die von einer auf dem Körper (3) angeordneten, elektrisch leitfähigen Oberflächenschicht (4) gebildet ist, und aufweisend eine Steuervorrichtung (5), mittels welcher der Oberflächenschicht (4) wahlweise Strom (I) aus einer elektrischen Energiequelle (6) zuführbar ist, wobei die Steuereinrichtung (5) eingerichtet ist, die Oberflächenschicht (4) je Behandlungsvorgang mit einem Stromstoß begrenzter Impulsenergie zu beaufschlagen, die anhand einer Stromstärke und einer Stoßdauer derart festgelegt ist, insbesondere einmalig vorherbestimmt ist, eine durch eine Widerstandserwärmung der Oberflächenschicht (4) bewirkte vorgegebene Mindesttemperatur der Oberflächenschicht (4) zu bewirken. Die Erfindung betrifft ferner ein Verfahren zur Behandlung einer Oberfläche (2) eines Körpers (3).

    摘要: A robotic surgical instrument comprising: a shaft; an end effector comprising a first end effector element with a first surface and a second end effector element with a second surface configured to interface with the first surface; and an articulation connecting the end effector to the shaft, the articulation permitting the first end effector element to rotate about a first axis and the second end effector element to rotate about a second axis, the first and second axes being transverse to the longitudinal axis of the shaft; wherein, when the end effector is aligned with the shaft and the first and second surfaces are interfaced, the orientation of the first surface, relative to the first axis, is greater than zero degrees.

    摘要: An electrosurgical instrument including an end effector assembly having first and second jaw members and at least first and second thermal cutting elements. Each of the first and second jaw members includes an electrically conductive tissue contacting surface. At least one of the first or second jaw members is movable relative to the other from a spaced apart position to an approximated position to grasp tissue between the tissue contacting surfaces. The first and second jaw members are adapted to connect to a source of energy for electrosurgically treating tissue grasped between the tissue contacting surfaces. Each of the first and second thermal cutting elements is disposed on or within one of the first or second jaw members and adapted to connect to a source of energy for thermally treating tissue.
