A soft tissue repair device. The device includes an inserter having a distal portion, a first anchor carried externally onto the distal portion, a second anchor carried externally onto the distal portion, and a flexible strand coupling the first and second anchors and forming an adjustable knotless loop.

A tissue closure device to assist in retrieving a suture during a suturing procedure, the device including an elongated body having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending axially through the elongated body. The device further including an actuator rod at least partially extending through the lumen of the elongated body to actuate a plurality of wings and a plurality of shields attached to a distal end of the elongated body. The elongated body including at least one needle guide lumen with an opening an exit, the at least one needle guide lumen traversing the elongated body at an angle with respect to a central axis of the elongated body to guide a suture grasper to an enclosed suture retrieval cavity.

A medical device includes an elongate member configured to be at least partially disposed within a body of a patient. The elongate member has an outer surface. The outer surface of the elongate member has a first ridge and a second ridge.

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, an end effector for use with a surgical device is provided. The end effector includes a driver, a clip assembly, a needle assembly, and biasing element. The clip assembly is disposed in mechanical cooperation with the driver. Rotation of the driver results in longitudinal translation of the clip assembly. The needle assembly is selectively engaged with the clip assembly. The biasing element is disposed in mechanical cooperation with the needle assembly and is configured to bias the needle assembly proximally.

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, an end effector for use with a surgical device is provided. The end effector includes a drive assembly, a driver, a needle assembly, and a follower. The drive assembly includes a first helical groove. Rotation of the drive assembly in a first direction causes distal translation of the driver with respect to the drive assembly. The needle assembly is disposed in mechanical cooperation with the driver. Distal translation of the driver causes a corresponding distal translation of the needle assembly. The follower is configured to engage the first helical groove of the drive assembly. When the follower is engaged with the first helical groove, rotation of the drive assembly in the first direction causes distal translation of the follower with respect to the drive assembly.

A suture assembly includes a translation assembly that is axially translatable within a working channel of an endoscope and is adapted to releasably secure and/or release a needle and a distal end cap that is securable to an end of the endoscope and is adapted to releasably secure and/or release the needle in order to pass the needle back and forth between the translation assembly and the distal cap. An attachment mechanism configured to releasably secure the distal endcap to an end of the endoscope.

A suture device for use in combination with a delivery system including a lumen extending through the delivery system includes a needle usable to carry a suture, a distal shuttle configured to releasably secure the needle, a sleeve disposable over the distal shuttle, the distal shuttle movable relative to the sleeve between a locked position in which the needle is locked to the distal shuttle and an unlocked position in which the needle is releasable from the distal shuttle. The suture device includes a distal assembly including an elongate tool guide movable between a deployment configuration in which the elongate tool guide is substantially parallel with the distal assembly and a working configuration in which the elongate tool guide curves away from the distal assembly.

A laparoscopic device with suture cutter includes a tubular housing having first, second, and third channels. Each channel extends longitudinally along the housing. A first suture grasping instrument in the first channel has an end effector that can be actuated to extend outwardly from the distal end of the housing to grasp a first portion of a suture. A second suture grasping instrument in the second channel has an end effector that can be actuated to extend outwardly from the distal end to grasp a second portion of a suture. A cutting blade is recessed in the distal end at a location between the first and second channels. The first and second instruments can be retracted into the distal end of the housing while grasping the suture and to engage the suture with the blade to sever the suture. The third channel can house a laparoscope.

A suture needle container includes a receptacle having a proximal end with an opening and a closed distal end. A hollow mandrel is disposed inside the receptacle. The mandrel projects from the closed distal end toward the opening at the proximal end of the receptacle. The mandrel includes a tubular wall having a proximal end aligned with the proximal end of the receptacle and a distal end connected with the closed distal end of the receptacle. An elongated slot is formed in the tubular wall. A suture needle is disposed within the elongated slot. A suture is secured to the proximal end of the suture needle and wrapped around the hollow mandrel. A cover closes the opening at the proximal end of the receptacle for sealing the suture needle and the suture inside the receptacle for maintaining a sterile environment inside the receptacle.

The present invention relates to a device for transcatheter treatment for tricuspid regurgitation and, more particularly, to a device for patients suffering from tricuspid regurgitation. The device for transcatheter treatment for tricuspid regurgitation according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes: a hollow coronary sinus tube (22) for engaging into coronary sinus tissue; and a hollow tricuspid valve tube (24) for crossing over tricuspid valve tissue and anchoring at interventricular septum tissue, wherein the coronary sinus tube and the tricuspid valve tube are laterally coupled with each other from upper portions thereof by a predetermined length, and lower portions thereof are separated from each other; and the lower portion of the tricuspid valve tube (24) is provided with a blocking part (30) for blocking a space resulting from incomplete closure of the tricuspid valve.
