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).

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 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 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.

An apparatus for joining organ wall portions of first and second hollow organs, including first and second connectors, wherein the first and second connectors are magnetically attracted to one another. A device for delivering and deploying the first and second connectors to portions of the first and second hollow organs can be provided, wherein the device is configured and dimensioned to axially align the first and second connectors for performing circular anastomosis of the first and second hollow organs.

A balloon-expandable shunt is disclosed for shunting a vessel which has a graft with two ends and at least one expandable support element supporting the graft from within along a length at or near at least one of its ends. The shunt is bifurcated at an aperture that leads to a side-channel and which has a closed configuration and an open configuration such that when the aperture is in the closed configuration it defines a clot-resistant inner graft surface and when the aperture is in the open configuration it is configured to provide access to the shunt for a balloon that actuates the expandable support element. A balloon configured for actuating the shunt is also disclosed. A kit has a bifurcated graft with at least one expandable support element and a balloon for actuating the at least one expandable support element.

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 apparatus for joining organ wall portions of first and second hollow organs, including first and second connectors, wherein the first and second connectors are magnetically attracted to one another. A device for delivering and deploying the first and second connectors to portions of the first and second hollow organs can be provided, wherein the device is configured and dimensioned to axially align the first and second connectors for performing circular anastomosis of the first and second hollow organs.

This application relates to an inflatable colorectal outer wall constriction device designed for use in post-surgical anastomotic protection. The device consists of a support rod, a coiled inflatable tube, a head inflatable tube, a coiled inflatable balloon, and a head inflatable balloon. One end of the support rod includes an inflation port, while the other end is connected to both the coiled and head inflatable balloons. The tubes run through the hollow support rod, and when inflated, the coiled balloon curls into a ring while the head balloon expands, fitting securely into a slot near the coiled balloon. This configuration allows the device to apply pressure and form a tight seal between the outer intestinal wall and a fecal diversion device, preventing leakage. After the anastomosis has healed, the device can be deflated and easily removed, ensuring the proper protection of the surgical site during the healing process.
