A clipping system includes an adapter, a clip and an extending member. The adapter mounted over an insertion device. The clip mounted over the adapter and includes first and second jaws connected to one another such that the jaws are movable between an insertion configuration and an initial deployed configuration. The first jaw includes a keyhole opening. The member coupled to the clip and adapter. The member includes a distal end releasably engaging the opening. The distal end has a width smaller than a width of a first portion of the opening and larger than a second portion of the opening so that, when a portion of the member proximal of the distal end is received within the second portion, the adapter is released from the clip while the member remains coupled to the clip. The member forces the clip open as the clip retracts over the adapter.

A percutaneous device for closing blood vessels has a main body in which a distal clip and a proximal clip connected to each other by a tie rod are accommodated, an abutment element, and a handle for maneuvering the distal and proximal clips, the abutment element and the tie rod. The distal clip has a proximal housing, and the proximal clip has a distal housing and a proximal housing. The tie rod is positioned inside the housings when the distal and proximal clips are inserted inside the main body, so as to not interfere with correct sliding thereof.

A system includes an adapter mounted over a distal end of an insertion device and an extending member. A clip mounted over the adapter includes jaws movable to separate from one another and, when the clip is moved off the adapter, to draw toward one another. The first member is releasably coupled to the clip, movably connected to the adapter and includes a clasp releasably coupling the clip to the first member via an engaging portion of one jaw to permit movement of the adapter relative to the clip while the first member remains coupled to the clip, enhancing visualization of the clip. The first member is operable to retract the clip proximally over the adapter so that the clip is forced open as the clip is retracted over the adapter freeing the clip from tissue on which it had been clipped.

A clip cartridge assembly (300) is provided including a clip tray (302), cartridge clip pusher bar (304), and a plurality of surgical clips (C) interposed therebetween. The clip tray (302) is configured to be selectively loadable in a channel assembly (108) of a surgical clip applier (100) and includes a first plurality of distally oriented, deflectable, resilient fingers (302d) projecting from a base wall thereof. The cartridge clip pusher bar (304) is disposed adjacent the clip tray (302) and is slidable relative thereto. The cartridge clip pusher bar (304) includes a second plurality of distally oriented, deflectable, resilient fingers (304e) projecting from a base wall thereof and each terminating in a distal shoulder (304f). A surgical clip applier (100) is also provided.

The present disclosure relates to endoscopic reposable surgical clip appliers having a shaft assembly. The shaft assembly includes a spindle, pusher bar, and a barrel assembly. The spindle and pusher bar are each translatably supported within the shaft assembly. The barrel cam assembly includes a first portion in mechanical communication with the spindle and a second portion in mechanical communication with the pusher bar. Translation of the spindle effectuates rotation of a portion of the barrel cam assembly and the rotation of the portion of the barrel cam assembly effectuates translation of the pusher bar.

An interactive control unit is disclosed. The interactive control unit includes an interactive touchscreen display, an interface configured to couple the control unit to a surgical hub, a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor to receive input commands from the interactive touchscreen display located inside a sterile field and transmit the input commands to the surgical hub to control devices coupled to the surgical hub located outside the sterile field.

An epicardial implant having a positioning device that defines an open interior. The positioning device is configured to be detachably coupled with an implant delivery device such that the positioning device may be detached from the implant delivery device after the implant is in place about an atrial appendage. The positioning device has first and second sides with a distal end that couples the first and second sides. The implant includes an expandable cuff coupled with the positioning device. The positioning device is configured to selectively move the expandable cuff toward and away from an atrial appendage to position the expandable cuff in a desired position relative to the atrial appendage. The expandable cuff is expandable into at least a portion of the open interior of the positioning device to physically occlude a base of the atrial appendage following placement of the expandable cuff into the desired position.

Disclosed are systems and methods for safely and effectively deploying a hemoclip onto a patient's desired target using a hemoclip system. For instance, disclosed is an catheter that includes a lumen for a hemoclip to pass through. Additionally, disclosed are hemoclips that are configured to be in a compressed position until the hemoclip is deployed out of a catheter where it opens. Then, the hemoclip may be clipped onto the target to encapsulate the desired target within the patient. Once the hemoclip is clamped onto the target, the catheter can move onto the next target for successive deployment and utilization of the hemoclips without manual reload.

Medical devices and instruments, particularly appliers that may be used to apply occlusion devices such as occlusion clips on anatomical structures, are disclosed. Some example clip appliers may include an activation lever configured to open and close an occlusion clip releasably mounted in an end effector. Some example clip appliers may include a deployment trigger configured to release the occlusion clip from the end effector. Some example clip appliers may include a shaft extending between a handle and the end effector that is rotatable and/or bendable.

A forceps having a first jaw and a second jaw, where at least one of the first and second jaws is capable of moving between an open position and a closed positions. The forceps including an inner shaft located within an outer shaft and extending along the longitudinal axis, and a drive bar coupled to and extending distally from the inner shaft. The drive bar including a pair of drive bar struts extending from a distal portion of the inner shaft and positioned laterally inward of at least one of first and second set of flanges of the first and second jaws. A drive pin is securable to the pair of drive bar struts and the drive bar is translatable within the outer shaft to translate the drive pin to move the first jaw and/or the second jaw between open and closed positions.
