A cautery pen tip accessory cover comprises a cylindrical member that can receive a cautery pen in a first end and the tip of the cautery pen can extend from a second opposite end when the cover is in a retracted configuration. The cylindrical member has an opened lateral exposure that allows the feel of the cautery pen therethrough. A cover exposure opening in the cylindrical member to provide access to a trigger of the cautery pen when the cautery pen tip cover is in the retracted configuration. A resilient member urges the cautery pen tip cover to the non-retracted configuration where access to the cautery pen trigger is prevented. The cylindrical member is easily retracted by a finger ring configured permanently into the cylindrical member, allowing easy retraction of the cover by the operator squeezing the cover to a resistance bar stabilization system accessory configured over the cautery pen.

Embodiments herein provide a method for stereo-visual localization of an object by a stereo-visual localization apparatus. The method includes generating, by a stereo-visual localization apparatus, a stereo-visual interface displaying the first stereo image of the object and the first stereo image of the subject in a first portion and the second stereo image of the object and the second stereo image of the subject in a second portion. Further, the method includes detecting, by the stereo-visual localization apparatus, a movement of the subject to align the subject in the field of view with the object. Furthermore, the method includes visually aligning, by the stereo-visual localization apparatus, the subject with the object based on the movement by simultaneously changing apparent position of the first and the second stereo images of the subject in each of the first portion and the second portion in the stereo-visual interface.

A surgical instrument system comprising a handle, a shaft, and a disposable power module is disclosed. The handle comprises a motor, a control switch, and a motor-control processor which is in communication with the control switch. In various instances, the disposable power module comprises a disposable battery and a display unit configured to indicate at least one function of the surgical instrument system.

A medical device includes a handle that includes a first member and a second member. Outer and inner elongate members of the medical device project from a distal end of the first member. The first and second members move, such as rotationally or pivotably move, relative to each other to control relative longitudinal movement of the outer and inner elongate members.

A surgical device is provided. The surgical device includes a housing adapted for mounting on a finger of a user; and at least one guide tube attached along a length of the housing. The guide tube is configured for guiding a tissue repair implant from a proximal opening to a distal opening thereof.

A tympanostomy tube delivery device comprises a shaft assembly, a pressure equalization tube, and a handpiece. All or a portion of the shaft assembly is selectively coupleable and removable from the handpiece. The shaft assembly comprises a cannula, a piercer/dilator tube, a shield tube, and a pusher tube operable to translate relative to the cannula. The pressure equalization tube is positioned within the shield tube of the shaft assembly. The piercer/dilator tube and the shield tube are operable to pierce the tympanic membrane and dilate an opening formed therein. The pusher tube is operable to drive the pressure equalization tube out of the shield tube of the shaft assembly and into the opening formed in the tympanic membrane. Upon completion of the procedure, all or a portion of the shaft assembly may then be removed and replaced.

A manipulator including an elongated shaft, a distal-end treatment section disposed at a distal end of the shaft, a distal-end articulated section having a bendable joint and a rotatable joint, and a proximal-end operating section disposed at a proximal end side of the shaft, wherein the bendable joint has an axis intersecting a longitudinal axis of the shaft, the rotatable joint has an axis that intersects the axis of the bendable joint and that is substantially aligned with a central axis of the distal-end treatment section, the proximal-end operating section includes a first operating section gripped by one hand and causing the bendable joint to move about the axis intersecting the longitudinal axis of the shaft, and also includes a second operating section provided in the first operating section and causing the rotatable joint to move.

A surgical tool and related methods are provided for removal of a bone sliver from a resected joint. The tool can include a housing including an upper end, a lower end, and a channel extending from the upper end to the lower end. A paddle member extends from the lower end of the housing. The paddle member includes a paddle shaft and a paddle head. The surgical tool further includes an insertion member that has a handle end, an extension that extends from the handle end, and a cutting tip. The extension is translatable within the channel such that the handle end and the cutting tip can move relative to the housing between a retracted position and an advanced position.

A specimen retrieval system includes a bag having a flexible basket with an opening configured for receiving a tissue specimen, an elongate tail extending from the flexible basket, a primary loop attached to a proximal end of the tail opposite the flexible basket, and a string encircling the flexible basket and extending therefrom along the tail and terminating exterior of the proximal end of the tail, the string being operable to close the opening of the flexible basket. The system also includes an outer cannula having a distal end and a proximal end with a cannula handle located at the proximal end of the outer cannula, the outer cannula configured to receive the bag therein via the distal end of the outer cannula, with the tail of the bag, the primary loop and a portion of the string extending out of the proximal end of the outer cannula. The system also includes an interior tube having a distal end slidably positionable within the outer cannula via the proximal end of the outer cannula, the interior tube having a tube handle mounted to a proximal end of the interior tube at a location exterior of the cannula handle, the tube handle including a hook rotatably mounted thereon and configured for engaging the primary loop of the bag when rotated to a first position and configured for disengaging from the primary loop when rotated to a second position, and a spring secured within the distal end of the interior tube and extending outwardly of the distal end of the interior tube, the spring connectable to the opening of the basket of the bag.

The device comprises a generally cylindrically shaped body having an elongated base with a distal end and a proximal end, and is conformed to be received by a fingertip of a medical practitioner. A plurality of prongs for debridement scrapping are formed on an outer surface of the base. A pair of arcuately shaped portions are integrally formed with the base to secure the device to any finger of a medical practitioner.
