A cosmetic device includes a housing having a handle portion, a head assembly coupled to the handle portion, and a drum assembly within the head assembly. The drum assembly includes a drum having an outer surface configured to abrade the skin or nails of a user during rotation of the drum. The device further includes a electromechanical drive system located within the housing and configured to rotate the drum. The head assembly is configured to rotate about an axis that is substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the drum.

Systems and methods for forming a handle apparatus may include shaping a strip of composite material with a flexible central portion, two grips, and two end portions. The strip may be bent onto itself such that the end portions are fastened together by a fastening device. The handle apparatus may also include a hole disposed in the flexible central portion through which a tool actuator may be passed.

A surgical instrument is disclosed. In one form, the surgical instrument comprises an elongate shaft assembly and an end effector that is configured for selective rotation relative to the axis of the elongate shaft assembly. The surgical instrument can include a rotary locking system for locking the surgical end effector in rotary orientations about the shaft axis upon application of axial locking and axial unlocking motions to the rotary locking system. The surgical instrument may further comprise a rotary drive system that is configured to apply rotary control motions to a firing member as well as to apply rotary positioning motions to the surgical end effector.

An operative cannula includes an elongate shaft that includes a wall structure and a channel extending along the wall structure. The wall structure defines an interior pocket sized to receive a tubular member and is configured to grasp the tubular member when the tubular member is disposed within the interior pocket. The channel is configured to allow passage of an instrument from a proximal end region of the elongate shaft through a distal end region of the elongate shaft.

A graft collector designed to facilitate and offer greater precision in performing the cutting and “dissection” of an area of the donor tissue in grafting operations. The graft collector is set as an anatomical grip handle based on a support head and fixation of a removable curved or angled blade. The cutting blade is provided with a cutting edge on two opposite sides, being folded in two points at 90°. The constructive arrangement of the graft collector allows the fixation of the cutting blade and its loosening and release for replacement. The said graft collector is a precise and anatomical grip instrument, designed for the good manual performance of the professional when cutting and removing the tissue to be used as a graft.

Embodiments include systems and methods for closure of a hole or other defect, for example in context of a laparoscopic surgical procedure. For example, a suturing device and method of use involve inserting the device into a hole, positioning material around the hole into a notch of the device, passing a needle through a cavity in the device and the material positioned in the notch, passing a suture through the eye of the needle, and removing the needle from the material with the suture. The suture can be removed and the process can be repeated with another end of the suture at another location through the material, around the hole. When the suture is passed through the second point of penetration, the suture can now extend both into and out of the material at different points around the hole and can be tied, thereby closing the hole.

The present disclosure provides a catheter grip device that secures to a catheter shaft and provides easier manipulation of the catheter shaft for the user. For example, the catheter shaft, such as for an Electrophysiology catheter, may insert into a patient's blood vessel. From here, the user, such as the physician, may need to manipulate, re-position, rotate, or otherwise maneuver a distal end of the catheter shaft while inserted inside the patient's blood vessel. In this regard, by the catheter grip being securely attached to the catheter shaft, the user is able to manipulate, rotate, etc. the catheter shaft by rotating and manipulating the catheter grip. The catheter grip reduces strain on the various muscles of the user's hand, and also provides more accurate manipulation of the catheter shaft.

A single-use handle is configured to attach to a working shaft that can support a sounder for measuring the medullary canal of a proximal radius, and a planarizer that is configured to planarize a proximal edge of the proximal radius after the proximal radius has been resected. The handle can further include a plurality of sizing cavities that are configured to receive the resected bone so as to determine the size of the resected bone. The handle can further include an ejector that is configured to decouple the planarizer from the working shaft.

A medical instrument includes a handpiece, an electromechanical transducer disposed in the handpiece, and an electrical circuit disposed at least partially in the handpiece for supplying alternating electrical current of a predetermined frequency to the transducer. A probe is operatively connected to the transducer for transmitting vibrations generated by the transducer to an operative site in a patient. A switching device is mounted to the handpiece and is operatively connected to the circuit and the transducer for enabling the supply of power to the transducer during a motion of the probe in a preselected direction relative to the handpiece and for disabling the supply of power to the transducer upon a termination of motion of the probe in the preselected direction.

An intraluminal device and a method of removing a clot from a body lumen with an intraluminal device may be provided. The intraluminal device may include a hollow elongated shaft and a radially-expandable mesh segment situated distal to the elongated shaft. The elongated shaft may be secured relative to a first portion of the mesh segment. The intraluminal device may additionally include a core wire affixed to a second portion of the mesh segment and extending through the elongated shaft. The elongated shaft may be configured to radially expand the mesh segment by axially moving the first portion of the mesh segment relative to the second portion of the mesh segment. In addition, the core wire may be configured to radially expand the mesh segment by axially moving the second portion of the mesh segment relative to the first portion of the mesh segment.
