An electromechanical surgical device includes a motor system configured to drive drive-shafts and a steering cable arrangement. A control system may be provided for controlling the motor system. A remote control unit may also be provided for controlling the motor system via the control system. Optical or Hall-effect devices, may be provided for determining the position of the elements of the surgical instrument based on the detected rotation of the drive-shafts. A memory unit stores a plurality of operating programs or algorithms, each corresponding to a type of surgical instrument attachable to the electro-mechanical surgical device. The control system reads or selects from the plurality of operating programs or algorithms, the operating program or algorithm corresponding to the type of surgical instrument attached to the electromechanical surgical device.

Described are surgical hand tools to facilitate the proper implantation beneath the outer layer of ductus to include vessels, the trachea, esophagus, and ureters, as well as glands, organs, or other tissue of medicinal, magnetically susceptible, magnetized, and/or radiation-emitting stays, or ribs—arcuate bands sized in proportion to the substrate structure which incorporate substances for implantation toward the surface of the substrate. Stay insertion tools allow access to and expedite stay insertion into deeper tissue through a small, or ‘keyhole’ incision at the body surface, eliminating the need for more extensive incision, reducing procedural duration, and can coat each stay with medication and/or an adhesive as each is ejected. Susceptible and magnetized stays allow extraluminal stenting, which avoids the lumen, allowing the in situ treatment of a ductus which malacotic, infected, or otherwise diseased, would likely incur incisions, perforations, and/or abrasions during transluminal treatment.

In some aspects, a surgical procedure for the removal of a prostate gland is provided. The procedure comprises: (a) positioning an implant material within the urethra, (b) removing the prostate, thereby cresting a urethral stump and a bladder neck, wherein the implant material occupies the urethral stump, the bladder neck, or both, and (c) securing the bladder neck to the urethral stump in an anastomosis procedure to establish a path of urine flow from the bladder to an external urethral opening (e.g., the meatus). Subsequently, the implant material is removed from the urethra, for example, by natural urine voiding or by flowing a removal fluid through and/or around the implant material in the urethra. In other aspects, a medical kit is provided.

The present invention is directed to a spray applicator for spraying a tissue treatment medicant onto a tissue that has a container containing the medicant and is positioned at a proximal end of the spray applicator; a spray tip positioned at a distal end of the spray applicator; a cannula connecting the container with the spray tip; an actuatable dispensing mechanism at a proximal end of the applicator to express the medicant from the container through the cannula and through the spray tip toward the tissue; an optional pressurized gas source discharging a gas through the cannula in the vicinity of the spray tip or inside the spray tip; and a distance indicator that provides indicia of the distance between the spray tip and the tissue but does not prevent positioning the spray tip closer to the tissue than a defined distance for the distance indicator.

Staplers and stapler heads for surgically fastening and cutting a bodily tissue or/and organ, including: a stapling jaw configured to include a first stapling jaw portion and a second stapling jaw portion separated from each other by a longitudinal channel. A blade having a sharp edge may be shiftable from a horizontal position to a vertical position so as to allow traveling thereof along the longitudinal channel. First stapling jaw portion may include a first row of tissue fasteners of a first staple size or/and type, and second stapling jaw portion may include a second row of tissue fasteners of a second staple size or/and type. Also described are methods for surgically fastening and cutting a bodily tissue or/and organ.

The present disclosure discussed a device, method and/or system for temporarily closing and/or constricting one or more blood vessels upstream and/or downstream of the vascular intervention site to allow for aspiration of vascular debris resulting from a peripheral vascular surgical procedure so as to effectively remove such debris.

There is provided an applicator including: a first liquid flow path through which a first liquid containing fibrinogen passes; a second liquid flow path through which a second liquid containing thrombin passes; a confluence section in which the first liquid and the second liquid merge with each other to form a mixed liquid; and a gas flow path through which a gas for jetting the mixed liquid passes. At least part of a wall portion defining the confluence section is composed of a gas-permeable membrane that is impermeable to the mixed liquid and permeable to the gas.

The present disclosure provides filaments and/or surgical sutures which include an inner core, an outer sheath and a plurality of barbs on a surface thereof. The filaments and/or surgical sutures further include at least one adhesive precursor material which transitions from a non-adherent material to an adhesive material to attach a portion of the filament and/or suture to the surrounding area, such as tissue and/or other portions of the filament.

A dispensing device is disclosed which provides for dispensing multiple doses from a cylindrical volume. An actuator button moves a tooth to engage a series of links which move a stopper to dispense the doses.

A perforated sheath is anchored in a tissue opening with the aid of a tool, wherein the anchorage is achieved with the aid of mechanical vibration and a material which is liquefiable by the vibration. The tool includes a vibrating element and a counter element. Distal portions of both elements are introduced into the sheath to be in contact with each other at an interface. The vibrating element is connected to a vibration source and the vibrating element and the counter element are held against each other for effecting liquefaction of the liquefiable material at the interface. Under the effect of the force applied to the vibrating and counter element for holding them against each other, the liquefied material flows from the interface through the sheath perforation and penetrates the tissue.
