The elongated fluted shaft is configured to be connectable to the proximal end of the flexible shaft. The sheath is configured to receive all or portion of the flexible shaft and the elongated fluted shaft. The outer tube is configured to receive the sheath such that there is enough space for fluid irrigation between the outer tube and the sheath.
APPARATUS AND METHODS WITH SURGICAL GUIDES HAVING ROUTED LIQUID COOLANT IRRIGATION
Provided herein are surgical guides with internal channels for irrigation cooling. In one embodiment, an apparatus for guiding a surgical instrument includes a proximal side and a distal side. A first channel is configured to guide a material removal device, where the first channel extends from the proximal side of the apparatus to the distal side of the apparatus. A second channel configured to direct irrigation fluid, where the second channel extends from the proximal side of the of the apparatus to the distal side of the apparatus. The first channel is separate from the second channel. A method of performing a surgical procedure and a method of manufacturing a surgical guide are also disclosed. In certain embodiments, the surgical guides may be manufactured via additive manufacturing processes, including for example, three-dimensional printing processes.
DEVICES AND METHODS FOR INTRABODY SURGERY
A device for intrabody surgery comprises a cutting arrangement rotatable by a hollow driveshaft, which is formed by a hollow front cutting region and a rear region. The front region includes multiple longitudinal drilling sections interconnected by transversely oriented cutting blade sections. The drilling sections are positioned at an angle to each other defining in combination with the cutting blades a conically shaped grid formation having a hollow internal cavity. The grid formation defines a plurality of ports between the drilling sections and the blades. A low-pressure zone is formed within the hollow internal cavity, wherein cut occlusion materials are aspired by the low-pressure zone through the plurality of ports into the hollow internal cavity for further evacuation from the cutting arrangement.
ELECTROSTATIC ATOMIZATION ULTRASONIC AIDED LOW-DAMAGE AND CONTROLLABLE BIOLOGIC BONE GRINDING PROCESS AND DEVICE
An electrostatic atomization ultrasonic aided low-damage and controllable biologic bone grinding process and device, which solve the problem of debris blockage and have good cooling effect and high operation efficiency. The device includes: a spindle, arranged rotatably; a water-catching grinding tool for grinding a biologic bone, the spindle being connected with the tool through an ultrasonic vibration mechanism, the tool achieving longitudinal and rotary motions under the drive of the spindle and mechanism; a cooling and film forming mechanism on one side of the tool and connected with an ultrasonic generator in the mechanism, a nozzle connected with a medical nano liquid storage cup arranged at the bottom, compressed gas capable of being introduced into the nozzle to perform pneumatic-ultrasonic atomization on a medical nanofluid, the nanofluid being flushed into a grinding zone in droplets for effective cooling and lubrication; and an endoscope on the other side of the tool.
METHOD OF UNILATERAL BIPORTAL ENDOSCOPY AND DIAMOND SHAVER USED IN SAME
The present invention relates generally to a method of unilateral biportal endoscopy and diamond shaver used in the same. The method includes: securing pathways for a working portal and an endoscopic portal that extend toward a surgical site in the body of a patient and are distanced from each other; inserting a surgical instrument required for surgery into the secured working portal; inserting an endoscope into the endoscopic portal; performing surgery using the surgical instrument inserted into the working portal while monitoring the surgical site through the endoscope; removing the surgical instrument and the endoscope after the performing the surgery; and suturing of suturing entrances of the working portal and the endoscopic portal.
Drill for dental implant
Provided herein is a drill for a dental implant, which includes a coupling part connected to a hand piece configured to provide a rotational force, a body part disposed below the coupling part and configured to transmit the rotational force downward, a cutting part including a plurality of cutting blades and a void section, the cutting blades disposed below the body part to cut an alveolar bone and form a hole therein and being spaced apart at a predetermined angle in a rotational direction, and the void section surrounded by the cutting blades along at least a portion of an inner circumference of the cutting blades, and a coolant passage configured to communicate with the void section by passing through the coupling part and the body part and configured to, while the alveolar bone is being cut, supply coolant to the void section so that the coolant is introduced to the cutting blades.
ADVANCED COCHLEA ACCESS
A device, including a therapeutics substance delivery apparatus and an incisor, wherein the device is a minimally invasive inner ear therapeutic substance delivery device configured to reach the inner ear through a passage through the tympanic membrane to incise through tissue and deliver a therapeutic substance, and the incisor is at least one of a drill bit configured to drill through a promontory of a cochlea of a human, or a conduit configured to pierce a round window of the human with a fully intact round window niche.
Ultrasonic cutting blade with cooling liquid conduction
An ultrasonic surgical tool has probe body with an operative surface or edge contactable with organic tissues for performing a surgical operation on the tissues. A shank of the probe body is provided with a connector for operatively attaching the tool to a source of ultrasonic mechanical vibrational energy. The shank and a portion of the probe body are formed with a channel for fluid delivery to the probe body. At least a portion of the probe body located between the channel and the operative surface or edge has a microporous or sintered structure enabling fluid penetration to the operative surface or edge from the channel.
High-speed powered hand tool with improved motor cooling
A surgical device comprising: a handpiece comprising a distal end and a proximal end; a chamber formed within the handpiece; a motor disposed within the chamber; an exhaust port in fluid communication with the chamber, the exhaust port being configured for attachment to a suction source so as to apply suction to the chamber; and at least one inlet port in fluid communication with the chamber, the at least one inlet port being configured to allow ambient air to be drawn into the chamber.
SURGICAL INSTRUMENT WITH PHASE CHANGE COOLING
Systems and methods are discussed herein for cooling a surgical handset using a phase-change material. A container filled with a phase-change material may be telescoped over a heat-generating mechanism of a surgical handset, such as a battery and/or a motor. When the surgical handset is activated, the heat generated by the heat-generating mechanism is absorbed by the phase-change material in the container, which transitions from a first phase to a second phase.
