20120046525 | LAPAROSCOPIC SURGICAL RETRACTION DEVICE - A laparoscopic surgical retraction device is described. The device has an insertion configuration and an operational configuration. In the insertion configuration the device is collapsible such that the dimensions of the device can be reduced so as to allow the complete insertion of the device through a trocar or cannula into the internal abdominal cavity wherein it may be expanded to adopt the operational configuration. | 02-23-2012 |
20130030462 | LAPAROSCOPIC SURGICAL DEVICE - A laparoscopic surgical device comprising a pair of jaws ( | 01-31-2013 |
20130066155 | LAPAROSCOPIC SURGICAL DEVICE - A laparoscopic surgical device comprising an anchor element comprising a pair of jaws defining a mouth within which at least a portion of an organ or tissue may be grasped is described. The jaws are biased towards one another so as to normally adopt a closed configuration. The anchor element is coupled to a support member, the support member being moveable about the anchor element. The device is dimensioned to be operably passed fully through a trocar into the abdominal cavity wherein it may be manipulated by a surgeon or other operator to grasp the desired target organ or tissue. | 03-14-2013 |
20130090670 | SUTURE DELIVERY SYSTEM - A suture delivery system is described. The system includes an anchor and a cooperating driver, the driver facilitating a delivery of the anchor into the abdominal cavity. The system allows for the deployment of a suture internally into an abdominal wall. | 04-11-2013 |
20130103057 | LAPAROSCOPIC SURGICAL SYSTEM - A laparoscopic port closure device is described. The device allows for the deployment of a suture internally into an abdominal wall and the subsequent use of that deployed suture to effect a closing of the wound that was used for the port. The deployed suture may be used during the surgical procedure to effect a securing or anchoring of the device. | 04-25-2013 |
20140275798 | LAPAROSCOPIC SYSTEM - A laparoscopic surgical system configured for cooperation with a trocar is described. In one configuration, the system is configured to expand to accommodate trocars of varying dimensions. In another configuration, which is not necessarily exclusive of the first configuration, the system may function to provide an anchoring and closure system for use in laparoscopic surgery. | 09-18-2014 |
20150335320 | SUTURE DELIVERY SYSTEM - A suture delivery system is described.
