A pump cartridge comprises a retention structure to retain a piston for shipping and storage, in which the piston can be decoupled from the retention structure to pump fluid. In the shipping and storage configuration, the piston can be positioned with the retention structure to allow sterilization gas to travel within a housing and into a cylinder distal to the piston. When placed in the console for use in a pumping configuration, the piston can be decoupled from the retention structure to form a seal within the housing. When the procedure has been completed, the pump cartridge can be decoupled from the console in a manner that disables the cartridge for subsequent use to prevent a non-sterile cartridge from being reused.

A clip applier system includes: a clip applier that operates a pair of jaws by supplying an operating fluid from a driving device to an opening/closing mechanism, which opens and closes the pair of jaws with a degree of opening corresponding to the amount of the operating fluid, and discharging the operating fluid from the opening/closing mechanism to the driving device; an operation device that outputs an operation signal corresponding to the amount of operation performed on an operation tool; a detection device that outputs a signal corresponding to the degree of opening of the pair of the jaws; and a control device that performs an opening degree control. In the opening degree control, the control device controls the motion of the driving device according to a difference between a command based on the operation signal and an actual value based on the signal from the detection device.

A hydraulic medical instrument mounted to a distal end of a robotic arm includes: a linking structure that is linked to the distal end of the robotic arm; an insertion pipe extending from the linking structure; and a hydraulic mover provided on a distal end of the insertion pipe. The hydraulic medical instrument further includes a hydraulic driving source that includes at least one hydraulic pressure-dedicated shaft provided in the linking structure, the hydraulic driving source supplying a hydraulic liquid to the hydraulic mover and collecting the hydraulic liquid from the hydraulic mover by rotation or linear motion of the hydraulic pressure-dedicated shaft. When the linking structure is linked to the distal end of the robotic arm, the hydraulic pressure-dedicated shaft is coupled to a motor disposed in the distal end of the robotic arm.

The present disclosure relates to compression clips, and more specifically, to compression clips delivered to a target site through an endoscope for use in tissue resection, for example, within the gastrointestinal tract. In examples, clips are configured to be actuatable in response to a compressive force to transition between an open configuration and a closed configuration. In an embodiment, a tissue clipping device may include a first member with a plurality of arms. Each of the arms may extend from a first end to a second end, and the first end of each arm may be received within the first member. The arms may be movable between the open configuration and the closed configuration. A second member may be slidably disposed with respect to the first member.

A hydraulically driven clip applier includes: a pair of jaws that respectively include, at a tip end, a pair of gripping portions capable of holding a clip therebetween and are coupled to each other in a manner to allow the pair of gripping portions to be opened and closed and when a base end of the pair of jaws is opened, close the pair of gripping portions; and an opening/closing driving mechanism that is a cylinder mechanism including a rod and when supplied with an operating fluid, extends the rod. Base end portions of the pair of the jaws are positioned at a distance from each other. The opening/closing driving mechanism is configured to position a tip end of the rod between the base end portions of the pair of jaws and open the base end of the pair of jaws by extending the rod.

A clamping instrument for a robot for pelvic fracture reduction is provided. The clamping instrument comprises an affected-side main frame module, an affected-side secondary frame module, an affected-side lower frame module, a docking module, a bone spike clamp holder and an unaffected-side fixing mount module. The affected-side main frame module is configured for fixing bone spikes at the anterior superior iliac spine of the pelvis, the affected-side secondary frame module is configured for fixing bone spikes at the anterior inferior iliac spine of the pelvis, and the affected-side lower frame module is configured for fixing bone spikes at the ilium of the pelvis; the docking module is configured for quickly connecting the clamping instrument with the surgical robot; the unaffected-side fixing mount module is configured for fixing bone spikes disposed in the pelvis on the unaffected side; and the bone spike clamp holder is configured for clamping bone spikes.

In one embodiment, a surgical rigid arm (100, 150, 200, 900) includes a first portion (102, 152, 202, 902), a second portion (103, 153, 203, 903) and a central portion (105, 154, 205, 906), where the central portion is extends between the first and second portions. A first end of the first portion and a second end of the second portion are each attached to a peripheral side (14) of a surgical bed (10, 30) such that the first portion and the second portion extend from the surgical bed in a first direction. The central portion extends substantially horizontally and is positioned over the surgical bed, the central portion being connected to the surgical instrument such that a load from the surgical instrument is distributed across the central portion to the first portion and second portion to provide rigid support for the surgical instrument.

Devices and methods for treatment of a patient's vasculature may include a resilient self-expanding permeable implant having a radially constrained elongated state configured for delivery within a catheter lumen and an expanded state with a longitudinally shortened configuration, and a plurality of elongate filaments which are woven together. Each of the plurality of elongate filaments may have a diameter between about 0.0005 and about 0.005 inches. The implant includes at least some filaments consisting of nitinol and at least some composite filaments that are drawn filled tube wires comprising an external nitinol tube and a highly radiopaque material concentrically disposed within the external tube. The implant has at least about 40% composite filaments relative to a total number of filaments, and wherein a total number of filaments is about 10 to about 300.

A robotic surgical system includes a fluid drive system and a surgical instrument removably positioned in operative engagement with the drive system. A sterile barrier covers non-sterile portions of the surgical system. Features of the sterile barrier are used to transfer motion output from the fluid drive system to the instrument for actuation of the instrument.

A medical device may include a shaft extending from a proximal end toward a distal end, the shaft including a lumen extending from the proximal end toward the distal end; a first stapling head at the distal end, the first stapling head configured to contain one or more staples, and the first stapling head having a block disposed within, and movable relative to, the first stapling head; a second stapling head at the distal end; and a pushing element extending through the lumen, the pushing element being movable from a first position to a second position, wherein transition of the pushing element from the first position to the second position urges the block to move toward second stapling head to deploy the one or more staples.
