A handheld electromechanical surgical device, capable of effectuating a surgical procedure, includes a handle assembly having a power source; at least one motor coupled to the power source; and a controller configured to control the motor. The surgical device includes an adapter assembly having an electrical assembly having a proximal end in communication with the controller of the handle assembly. The surgical device includes a reload configured to selectively connect to a distal end of the adapter assembly. The reload includes an annular array of staples; an annular staple pusher for ejecting the staples; and a data storage device selectively connectable to a distal end of the electrical assembly. The data storage device receives and stores performance data of the surgical device from the controller of the handle assembly.

A balloon catheter and methods for use are disclosed for endovascular procedures, e.g., performing a thrombectomy. In one embodiment, among others, the balloon catheter includes an elongated catheter body. At a distal end, the catheter body also includes an angled tip and a balloon adjacent to the angled tip. The balloon is inflatable to form an oblong shape.

A tissue removal system is provided which enables optimally performing a full-thickness resection of a hollow organ while minimizing invasiveness. In this tissue removal system, a tissue pressing tool which has a tissue contacting part and which is guided into the abdominal cavity, and a resection and anastomosis device work together. The resection and anastomosis device resects and performs anastomosis of tissue positioned between a main body and an anvil part, and, when pressing the tissue to be cut to the cutting position of the resection and anastomosis device by means of the tissue contacting part, the tissue contacting part is pressed against two abutment parts of the resection and anastomosis device.

A surgical instrument for bonding body tissue includes a shank and first and second tool elements which are movable relative to each other and include a respective electrode. The electrodes define a minimum distance from each other, are opposed to each other and face each other in an approximating position of the tool elements. The first tool element is arranged or formed at the distal end of the shank, so that a mechanical load of anastomoses of body tissue parts produced by current flow is minimized when removing the surgical instrument. The second tool element is adapted to be brought from an operating position, in which it can be brought into the approximating position, into a removing position, in which a peripheral withdrawing line defined by the electrode of the second tool element is shorter than a peripheral approximating line defined by the electrode in the approximating position.

A balloon catheter is disclosed for endovascular procedures. In one embodiment, among others, the balloon catheter includes an elongated catheter body. At a distal end, the catheter body also includes an angled tip and a balloon adjacent to the angled tip. The balloon is inflatable to form an oblong shape.

A dual-flange stent can have a therapeutic effect that can bring about a marked increase in patency. The dual flanges of the stent can comprise a first discrete flange component and a second discrete flange component. One or both flange components can include a magnetic element. The stent can further comprise a shaft connecting the flange components. At least one of the flanges can transition between a first configuration and a second configuration, where the first configuration is compact and the second configuration provides a large tissue-compressing surface. In one instance, the transition to the configuration with a large tissue-compressing surface can include filling a balloon with saline or another fluid. The first flange and the second flange may be drawn together to compress interposed tissue of the stricture.

A surgical instrument for bonding body tissue includes an instrument shank or shaft, a first tool element, a second tool element axially movable relative to the first tool element, and an annular sleeve-like cutting element. The second tool element includes a plurality of tool element members that are radially deflectable. The first and second tool elements are each equipped with at least one electrode. The second tool element includes a biasing member that biases the tool element members in a radially inward direction. A stop member is operable in a first position to hold the tool element members against the biasing force of the biasing member in which the tool element members assume a maximum outer diameter. The stop member is further operable in a second position to release the tool element members such that the tool element members can deflect radially inwardly and cut body tissue.

An anastomosis clamp (1) and a delivery system thereof, where the anastomosis clamp (1) includes inner lancets (102, 602), round corners (103, 603), and outer rings (101, 601) that are sequentially connected; the delivery system may be used in cooperation with the anastomosis clamp (1); and the delivery system includes a distal end (2), a middle flexible sheath (3), and a handle (4).
