A control method of an automatic compression circular anastomosis device, includes: correcting a zero point when an operation switch provided in a handle unit is turned on, by a control unit; controlling a motor to compress a tissue in a direction reaching a minimum distance at which a distance between a top surface of an anastomosis unit and a bottom surface of an anvil is minimized, by the control unit; measuring a real-time pressure applied to the tissue and a real-time distance between the top surface of the anastomosis unit and the bottom surface of the anvil in real-time, by the control unit; and controlling, when the real-time pressure and the real-time distance reach a set pressure and a set distance D.sub.r stored in advance, the anastomosis unit to cut unnecessary parts of the tissue and anastomose the tissue with a plurality of staples, by the control unit.

A submucosal injection material whose quality deterioration during a storage period is prevented is provided. It is a submucosal injection material, which contains hyaluronic acid, and to which a dye is added.

A surgical instrument and a linear surgical stapler are provided. The instrument includes: a suturing mechanism including an anvil assembly and a mounting part for mounting a staple cartridge assembly, in which the staple cartridge assembly includes a staple cartridge for accommodating staples, and the anvil assembly includes an anvil matched with the staple cartridge; a staple pushing assembly, configured to push the staples so that the staples are sequentially fired; a transmission assembly, configured for driving the staple cartridge assembly to move relative to the anvil assembly and driving the staple pushing assembly to move to push the staples; and a drive assembly, connected to the transmission assembly and configured for driving the transmission assembly to move.

A tissue interface module has an applicator chamber on a proximal side of the tissue interface module and a tissue acquisition chamber on a distal side of the tissue interface module. The applicator chamber may include: an opening adapted to receive the applicator; an attachment mechanism positioned in the applicator chamber and adapted to attach the tissue interface module to the applicator; a sealing member positioned at a proximal side of the applicator chamber; and a vacuum interface positioned at a proximal side of the applicator chamber and adapted to receive a vacuum inlet positioned on a distal end of the applicator. The invention also includes corresponding methods.

A suturing device include a handle, an elongate body, an actuator, and a needle holder. The elongate body connects with the handle. The actuator interacts with the elongate body and is operable between a first operating position and a second operating position. The actuator includes a manually operated member including an operator contact surface. The needle holder extends away from a distal end portion or is provided as part of the distal end portion of the elongate body. The needle holder includes a distal end section having a distal-most tip and defining a needle passage and a distal opening adjacent the distal-most tip. The needle passage is configured to receive at least a portion of an associated needle when the actuator is in the first operating position. The needle holder and the elongate body are rotatable with respect to the handle about a rotational axis.

A surgical guide includes a base and a drill guide coupled to the base. The drill guide includes a drill guide body defining a drill bore for receiving a drill bit and extending through the drill guide, the drill guide being configured to translate relative the base to adjust a drill guide angle defined by the drill bore and the base, the drill guide further being configured to transition between a locked state and an unlocked state, wherein the drill guide angle is fixed in the locked state and the drill guide angle is adjustable in the unlocked state.

A tissue interface module has an applicator chamber on a proximal side of the tissue interface module and a tissue acquisition chamber on a distal side of the tissue interface module. The applicator chamber may include: an opening adapted to receive the applicator; an attachment mechanism positioned in the applicator chamber and adapted to attach the tissue interface module to the applicator; a sealing member positioned at a proximal side of the applicator chamber; and a vacuum interface positioned at a proximal side of the applicator chamber and adapted to receive a vacuum inlet positioned on a distal end of the applicator. The invention also includes corresponding methods.

Disclosed is a device for detecting a pressure, of the type including a detection element on which a pressure is exerted, a transducer connected to the detection element and an elastically deformable shell. The shell is made of biocompatible and sterilizable material, has two opposing walls and an insertion opening, and the detection element includes at least one elastically deformable tube, the tube includes a portion arranged in the shell, the tube is closed at one end and filled with a fluid, the other end of the tube being open, arranged outside the shell and connected to the transducer.

An ultrasonic surgical tool system with a tip capable of simultaneously vibrating in plural modes. The system includes a console capable of supplying a drive signal to the tip that includes plural components. Each component has a frequency characteristic that is based in part on the equivalent of current through the mechanical components of the tip. The frequency components are different from each other. Based on the application of drive signal the tip undergoes non-linear vibrations.
