Prosthesis deployment devices are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the prosthesis deployment device comprises an elongate delivery catheter assembly configured for electrosurgery and also configured to retain and deploy a prosthesis. Kits comprising the prosthesis deployment devices with a prosthesis loaded into a prosthesis pod of the device are disclosed herein as well as methods of using the prosthesis deployment devices.

A method of operating a modular surgical system including a control module, a first surgical module, and a second surgical module is disclosed. The method includes detachably connecting the first surgical module to the control module by stacking the first surgical module with the control module in a stack configuration, detachably connecting the second surgical module to the first surgical module by stacking the second surgical module with the control module and the first surgical module in the stack configuration, powering up the modular surgical system, and monitoring distribution of power from a power supply of the control module to the first surgical module and the second surgical module.

The present invention relates to a skin treatment device including a handpiece and a needle tip enabling to be coupled to the handpiece, wherein as the needle tip is mounted on the distal end of the handpiece, electrical connection with the handpiece can be made stably, and even if the needle module built in the needle tip performs linear reciprocating motions of extension and retraction by the driving device provided in the handpiece, the motion trackable connector provided in the needle tip can stably keep the electrical connection between the handpiece and the needle tip.

An electrosurgical system can include an electrosurgical generator, a feedback circuit or controller, and an electrosurgical tool. The feedback circuit can provide an electrosurgery endpoint by determining the phase end point of a tissue to be treated. The electrosurgical system can include more than one electrosurgical tool for different electrosurgical operations and can include a variety of user interface features and audio/visual performance indicators. The electrosurgical system can also power conventional bipolar electrosurgical tools and direct current surgical appliances.

In one aspect, recording instruments, probes, probe sheaths, and probe sleeves may include one or more recording elements, such as one or more ECG wires, EEG wires, and/or SEEG wires. A recording element may be used for lesion localization and assessment at the time of cryotherapy, thermal therapy, or temperature modulation therapy. A recording element may be used to provide positioning and monitoring during functional neurosurgery; to apply local tissue stimulation responsive to detection of an abnormal event to regulate cellular behaviors during treatment; to effect deep brain stimulation during a neurosurgical operation; to monitor internal electrical signals and identify abnormalities. Recording instruments may be deployed in vivo for hours or days while monitoring and analyzing signals. For signal analysis, leads disposed between recording element contact surfaces and along a shaft of the recording instrument may deliver recorded signals to a controller external to the patient for analysis.

A medical device for performing a hysterectomy is provided. The medical device has a tissue incision assembly that includes a first cup nested within a second cup. The tissue incision assembly also includes a spacer assembly between the first cup and the second cup in order to maintain a spacing between the first and second cups. The tissue incision assembly also has a cutting implement that has a portion extending between, and movable with respect to, the first and second cups. The cutting implement can provide a circular cut guided via the spacing between the first and second cups.

Methods for treating a patient using therapeutic renal neuromodulation and associated devices, systems, and methods are disclosed herein. One aspect of the present technology, for example, is directed to a catheter apparatus including an elongated shaft defined by a braid embedded within a polymer. The braid can include one or more thermocouple assemblies intertwined with a braiding element. The thermocouple assemblies can be coupled to one or more electrodes at a distal portion of the shaft.

A tool assembly for use with an electrosurgical device for cutting tissue includes a base portion, a return lead, an electrical insulator, a center pin, and an active lead. The center pin extends from the base portion and through a lumen of the electrical insulator. The active lead is securely fixed to the base portion and extends between the base portion and a distal portion of the center pin such that a portion of the active lead extends around the distal portion of the center pin and first and second segments of the active lead are spaced apart from the return lead. Upon activation, electrosurgical energy is transmitted from the active lead through tissue to the return lead to cut tissue in contact with the active lead.

A cold plasma accessory having a hand piece having within in it flexible tubing, wiring, a PCB board connected to the wiring, and a conductive connector tube electrically connected to the PCB board, the conductive connector tube having an inner channel, a rigid tube extending from the distal end of the hand piece, and an electrode within the rigid tube. The electrode comprises a conductive connector having a contact surface contacting the conductive connector tube, a distal end surface facing away from the conductive connector tube, and a channel extending through a center of the conductive connector, the channel being fluidly connected to the flexible tubing, the distal end surface of the conductive connector being outside of the channel in the conductive connector, and a conductive wire connected to the distal end surface of the conductive connector.

An instrument connection device having a flexible hose-like body with a flexible wall in which the proximal end of a hose is inserted. The hose has a lumen that extends longitudinally through the hose. A wire is arranged inside the hose, for example, inside the lumen. The wire is guided through a punctured hole in the wall that the wire may create during a penetration of wall. The punctured hole may be straight and guides the obliquely. For example, the hole may be inclined to the radial axis and the longitudinal center axis.
