A medical instrument, for example an impact instrument, and a method for producing a medical instrument. The medical instrument includes a proximal end and a distal end. A handle and a striking face facing in a proximal direction are arranged or formed on the proximal end. A tool instrument is arranged or formed on the distal end. An instrument shaft of the instrument extends from the proximal end to the tool element. The handle is configured in the form of a hollow handle.

The invention generally relates to systems and methods for therapeutically modulating nerves in or associated with a nasal region of a patient for the treatment of a rhinosinusitis condition.

Described are a multipurpose handles that can be incorporated into medical device delivery systems. Also described are medical devices, including medical snare devices, that can incorporate the handles or features thereof. An actuation button of the multipurpose handle can be moved longitudinally to move a device portion (e.g. snare loop) longitudinally, e.g. for deployment or retraction. The actuation button can also be rotated to rotate a device portion (e.g. snare loop). Sealing arrangements can be provided and can provide sealing functions in respect of a controlled medical device structure while the actuation button is moved longitudinally or rotated. Methods of using the handles and medical snare or other devices incorporating them are also described.

A scalpel handle includes a receiving member to receive a blade therethrough and a main portion coupled to the receiving member. The main portion has a number of indentations on both a first surface and a second surface thereof. The indentations are evenly spaced between one another and the number of indentations extends from a first end proximate the receiving member along a first length of the main portion across an entire width thereof. The first length is at least two-thirds of a second length of an entirety of the main portion. The width of the main portion is at least five times a maximum width of the receiving member. A thickness of the main portion is at least 2.5 times a maximum thickness of the receiving member. All outer surfaces of the main portion including the first surface and the second surface are convex in shape around edges thereof.

Surgical tools that can be used in single port laparoscopic procedures can include a low-profile handle assembly to minimize tool interference adjacent the incision site. For example, a handle assembly for a surgical instrument can have a generally in-line configuration extending linearly along a central longitudinal axis of an elongate shaft of the instrument. A linkage mechanism including a trigger, an actuation link, and an actuation shaft can be positioned within the in-line handle. The linkage mechanism can be pivoted between an open position in which end effectors of the instrument are open and a toggle position in which the end effectors are locked closed. A locking mechanism such as a ratchet mechanism can also be used to lock the end effectors. A surgical dissector can include gripping jaws having a curved profile or an angled elongate shaft to minimize tool interference and maximize visibility within a procedure site.

A surgical instrument comprising an end effector is disclosed. The end effector comprises a surgical dissector. The surgical dissector can apply mechanical and/or electrosurgical energy to treated tissue.

A hemorrhoid banding device for the treatment of hemorrhoidal tissue, the hemorrhoid banding device comprising: a syringe comprising an extended tip, wherein the extended tip has a distal end; a plunger configured to be slidably received in the syringe and movable between (i) a proximal position, and (ii) a distal position; a deployment sheath comprising a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the deployment sheath is configured to slidably fit over the extended tip of the syringe and is configured to move between (i) a proximal position wherein the distal end of the deployment sheath is disposed proximal to the distal end of the extended tip of the syringe, and (ii) a distal position wherein the distal end of the deployment sheath is disposed distal to the distal end of the extended tip of the syringe; a lever comprising a proximal end and a distal end, with the distal end of the lever being hingedly mounted to the syringe; and a link comprising a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end of the link is hingedly mounted to the plunger and the distal end of the link is hingedly mounted to the proximal end of the lever; wherein the distal end of the link and the proximal end of the lever are displaced further from the syringe when the plunger is in its proximal position than when the plunger is in its distal position.

The present invention relates to a laparoscopic device used in laparoscopic cyst hydatid operations, which has a shaft that enables simultaneous performance of the breaking of the cyst content in the area by the blade in the conical slot at the end of the shaft, aspiration of the cyst fluid and the broken female vesicles and if required, washing processes and an electrically connected hand unit. The mentioned laparoscopic device contains a motor inside the hand unit, motor drive unit, cycle unit, cycle control unit and trigger and the shaft part contains aspiration channel, washing channel, the shaft enabling the blade movement and blade unit in the conical slot at the end part of the same shaft, which rotates transversely to the conical slot.

An orthopaedic driving instrument including a first end portion, a second end portion opposite the first end portion, and a central portion, intermediate the first and second end portions, comprising a central section having an outer diameter representing a maximum outer diameter of the driving instrument. The first end comprises a first driving interface sized and shaped to, in operation of the instrument, engage a screw interface of a screw for applying torque to the screw. The second end comprises a second driving interface sized and shaped as the size and shape of the first driving interface.

A robotic surgical system for treating a patient is disclosed including a surgical tool movable relative to the patient and a user input device configured to remotely control the surgical tool. The surgical tool includes a shaft and an end effector. The user input device includes a base and a controller movable to effect a first control motion a second control motion. The controller includes a first accessibility mode and a second accessibility mode. The robotic surgical system further includes a control circuit configured to receive a motion control signal from the user input device, determine a controller accessibility mode, permit the first control motion in response to the motion control signal in the first accessibility mode and in the second accessibility mode and permit the second control motion in response to the motion control signal in the second accessibility mode but not the first accessibility mode.
