A compression device includes: an adhesive sheet having an adhesion surface; and a compression member. The compression member includes: a pressing body configured to press a biological surface; and a holding body fixed to the adhesive sheet and configured to hold the pressing body to be extendable. The pressing body includes: an inflatable portion that is inflatable; and an extending portion extending from the inflatable portion and wound around the holding body to extend from the inflatable portion to an upper surface side of the holding body with the holding body interposed therebetween. The extending portion includes a light-transmitting portion having translucency in the thickness direction at a position covering an upper surface of the holding body. The holding body includes, at a position overlapping with the light-transmitting portion of the extending portion in a plan view, a marker portion configured to be visually identified.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HARVESTING A TENDON

A system for harvesting a tendon graft is disclosed, including a retractor, a guide and a harvesting tool. The retractor is collapsible and upon release, becomes self-supporting to hold open an anatomic space developed in a patient above the tendon. A guide assembles with the retractor to orient a guide shaft along the retractor and thereby the anatomic space. The harvesting tool includes a working end with a blade edge for cutting into the tendon. The harvesting tool defines a contoured surface for engaging and translating along the guide shaft while assembled to the retractor. The guide shaft and contoured surface limit the trajectory and translation extent of the harvesting tool along and into the tendon.

Visualization devices and methods for use in surgical procedures

A surgical device includes a handle assembly, an elongated portion, an end effector, a visualization device, and a constant horizon mechanism. The elongated portion extends distally from the handle assembly and defines a longitudinal axis. The end effector is rotatable about the longitudinal axis relative to the handle assembly. The visualization device defines a visualization axis. A first portion of the visualization device extends through the elongated portion, and a second portion of the visualization device is disposed at least partially within the handle assembly. The visualization device is rotatable about the longitudinal axis relative to the handle assembly. The constant horizon mechanism is disposed in operative engagement with the visualization device and is configured to prevent the visualization device from rotating about the visualization axis when the visualization device rotates about the longitudinal axis.

Viewing trocar with integrated prism for use with angled endoscope

Endoscopic light refraction imaging techniques are described for configuring a viewing trocar and/or angled endoscope with a light refracting element, such as glass and/or plastic prism for instance. The light refracting element can be utilized in and/or with the viewing trocar to refract (i.e., bend) light passing into the trocar through the trocar's window. As a result, the angled endoscope's field of view can be substantially aligned with the field of view of the trocar's window, thus allowing the angled endoscope and viewing trocar to be used together to create ports in a patient, including initial ports of endoscopic surgical procedures.

Endoluminal sleeve gastroplasty

Devices and methods of endolumenal formation of gastric sleeves are described. Some embodiments allow templating of a gastric sleeve by a gastric bougie, exposing a selected amount of tissue for suturing access, while maintaining sufficient internal working space for suturing within the template lumen.

Displaying a virtual model of a planned instrument attachment to ensure correct selection of physical instrument attachment

A virtual model a planned instrument attachment can be provided to ensure correct selection of a physical instrument attachment. An XR headset controller can generate a shape and a pose of the virtual model of the planned instrument attachment based on predetermined information associated with the planned instrument attachment and based on a pose of an instrument relative to the XR headset. An XR headset can display the virtual model on a see-through display screen of the XR headset that is configured to allow at least a portion of a real-world scene to pass therethrough.

SYSTEM FOR SHAPING AND IMPLANTING BIOLOGIC INTRAOCULAR STENT FOR INCREASED AQUEOUS OUTFLOW AND LOWERING OF INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE

A system for deploying an implant cut from a biological tissue into an eye of a patient including a delivery device and a nose cone assembly, a tubular shaft projecting from the distal end region of the nose cone and comprising a lumen. Related devices, systems, and methods are provided.

Minimally invasive no touch (MINT) procedure for harvesting the great saphenous vein (GSV) and venous hydrodissector and retractor for use during the mint procedure

A hydrodissector for hydrodissecting a vascular target, the hydrodissector comprising: a handle; a shaft extending from the handle at an angle and including a tip at a distal end thereof; at least one port provided at the tip and configured to be coupled to a fluid supply and to eject fluid from the at least one port into the space between the vascular target and surrounding tissues to dissect the vascular target from the surrounding tissues, the at least one port being sized to provide sufficient pressure and velocity to dissect the vascular target from the surrounding tissues, wherein the length of the shaft is configured for insertion into an incision to atraumatically hydrodissect the vascular target from the surrounding tissues, and wherein the shaft is configured to releasably couple with one or more hook-shaped attachments configured to lift the vascular target after the vascular target is dissected from the surrounding tissues.

LIGATION RELEASE DEVICE
20220409194 · 2022-12-29 · ·

The present application provides a ligation release device, comprising: a handle (1), an operating component (2), a suction component (3), a release component (4) and an illumination component (5), wherein the illumination component (5) is arranged in the handle (1) and comprises a light source (51), a wire (52) and a control switch (53), and the control switch (53) is connected to the light source (51) by means of the wire (52). In practical applications, the light source (51) can be turned on by operating the control switch (53), thereby illuminating a ligation area at the distal end of the handle (1), eliminating shadow influence and facilitating the implementation of ligation operation. The ligation release device can improve the ease and accuracy of surgical operation without an external auxiliary apparatus.
