Patent application number | Description | Published |
20100317925 | SUCTION-ASSISTED TISSUE STABILIZERS - Suction assisted tissue stabilizers that include portions that deflect when force is applied thereto and return to their initial shape when the force is removed. | 12-16-2010 |
20110028792 | TISSUE RETRACTORS WITH FLUID EVACUATION/INFUSION AND/OR LIGHT EMISSION CAPABILITY - Retractor apparatus including a blade and a fluid port and/or a light emitter associated with blade, and surgical systems including an arm and a retractor apparatus. | 02-03-2011 |
20110066000 | SCOPE AND MAGNETIC INTRODUCER SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Exemplary scope systems and methods involve a cannula assembly, a sheath assembly, and a tubing set. A cannula assembly, which may be a non-magnetic scope cap assembly, can include a cannula body, a proximal housing having a strap, an optical window, and a luer for suction or flushing. A cannula body may include a first lumen or scope channel for receiving a visualization device such as an endoscope or laparoscope, a distal end having suction or flushing flush apertures, and a second lumen for providing fluid communication between the apertures and the luer. Exemplary magnetic introducer systems and methods involve a cannula assembly, a sheath assembly, a tubing set. In some cases, the cannula assembly of a magnetic introducer system can be a magnetic scope cap assembly. In addition to cannula and sheath assemblies, magnetic introducer systems can include a magnetic introducer tubing assembly and a stylet assembly. | 03-17-2011 |
20110152860 | ADJUSTABLE CLAMP SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Tissue treatment systems include an actuator handle assembly coupled with a clamp assembly having a first jaw mechanism and a second jaw mechanism. A first jaw mechanism includes a first flexible boot, a first flexible ablation member coupled with the first flexible boot, and a first rotatable jawbone disposed within the first flexible boot. A second jaw mechanism comprises a second flexible boot, a second flexible ablation member coupled with the second flexible boot, and a second rotatable jawbone disposed within the second flexible boot. | 06-23-2011 |
20120123411 | STABILIZED ABLATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Surgical systems and methods for administering an ablation treatment and other therapeutic or diagnostic protocols to a patient tissue involve a flexible stabilizer mechanism having an inner recess and an ablation mechanism coupled with the stabilizer mechanism. | 05-17-2012 |
20130172864 | STABILIZED ABLATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Surgical systems and methods for administering an ablation treatment and other therapeutic or diagnostic protocols to a patient tissue involve a flexible stabilizer mechanism having an inner recess and an ablation mechanism coupled with the stabilizer mechanism. | 07-04-2013 |
20140194695 | TISSUE RETRACTORS WITH FLUID EVACUATION/INFUSION AND/OR LIGHT EMISSION CAPABILITY - Retractor apparatus including a blade and a fluid port and/or a light emitter associated with blade, and surgical systems including an arm and a retractor apparatus. | 07-10-2014 |
20150182225 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE CLOSURE - Embodiments of the present invention encompass systems and methods for delivering ligatures to anatomical features of a patient. Exemplary ligature delivery systems for use in delivering a ligature to a left atrial appendage ligature include an elongate support mechanism having a proximal portion and a distal portion, a flexible hoop assembly, and a cinchable constriction member. The flexible hoop assembly can be coupled with the distal portion of the elongate support mechanism, and can include a support body coupled with a support frame. The support frame can be biased to hold the support body in a trailing configuration, whereby a free portion of the support body is disposed proximal to the distal portion of the elongate support mechanism. The support frame of the flexible hoop assembly can be coupled with the distal portion of the elongate support mechanism. The support body can be configured to support the cinchable constriction member and a loop of the left atrial appendage ligature. | 07-02-2015 |
