10492815 · 2019-12-03 · ·

A surgical instrument includes a hollow member having a sidewall provided with a window and a closure member movably connected to the hollow member for alternately covering and uncovering the window. The hollow member has a first clamping surface along an edge of the window, while the closure member has a second clamping surface opposing the first clamping surface and disposable substantially adjacent thereto in a clamping or closure configuration of the instrument. The instrument additionally comprises a tissue occlusion component mounted to at least one of the hollow member and the closure member for acting on tissues gripped between the first clamping surface and the second clamping surface, to couple the tissues to each other.

VACUUM ASSISTED SURGICAL DISSECTION TOOLS

A surgical device includes a handle, an elongated tube extending distally from the handle, and a suction tip at a distal end portion of the elongated tube. The suction tip has a cavity formed therein. A cutting blade is positioned at least partially within the cavity and rotatable across the cavity to sever tissue, the cavity dimensioned to receive the severed tissue for removal from a patient's body.

Handpieces for tissue treatment

A dermatological skin treatment device is provided. The device comprises a handpiece and a cutting tool, wherein the tool is inserted through the conduit and percutaneously inserted into a tissue disposed within a recessed area of the handpiece. The device and method cut the fibrous structures under the skin that cause cellulite at an angle substantially parallel to the surface of the skin and replace these structures with a non-cellulite forming structure by deploying a highly fibrous mesh through a single needle hole to create a highly fibrous layer directly or through wound healing processes.

TISSUE EXTRACTION DEVICES AND METHODS

A tissue cutting device has an outer sleeve with a distal window and an inner cutting sleeve which moves past the window to cut tissue. The inner cutting sleeve has a lumen which may have a larger proximal diameter than distal diameter. A perimeter of the window may comprise a dielectric material. A distal edge of the inner sleeve may be displaced inwardly.

DEBRIDER WITH DECLOGGING FEATURE
20190216473 · 2019-07-18 ·

A debrider that includes an outer tubular member, and an inner tubular member located inside the outer tubular member. The inner tubular member includes an aspiration channel. The outer tubular member includes a declogging feature. The declogging feature extends from an inside distal wall of the outer tubular member in a proximal direction towards a distal wall of the inner member. The declogging feature is at least partially received into the aspiration channel through a distal opening defined in the distal end of the inner member, and is configured to push any matter located inside the aspiration channel in a proximal direction.

RETAINING MECHANISMS FOR PROSTHETIC VALVES
20190183640 · 2019-06-20 ·

Prosthetic valve systems for treating a native valve exhibiting regurgitation comprising a support structure in which a separate prosthetic heart valve (THV) can be placed. The support structure can be configured to be positioned at the native valve. After the support structure is deployed at the native valve, a prosthetic valve can be deployed within the support structure. The support structure can comprise a main body formed by formed by a plurality of inner strut members and a plurality of outer strut members, wherein the plurality of inner strut members and the plurality of outer members are coupled together and have gaps located between inner strut members and the outer strut members. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
