A detachable motor-powered surgical instrument. The instrument may include a housing that includes at least one engagement member for removably attaching the housing to an actuator arrangement. A motor is supported within the housing for supplying actuation motions to various portions of a surgical end effector coupled to the housing. The housing may include a contact arrangement that is configured to permit power to be supplied to the motor only when the housing is operably attached to the actuator arrangement.

A medical instrument has two individual parts. The first individual part has an eyelet, which is provided with an edge fully surrounding the eyelet opening. A second individual part includes a corkscrew-like manner connection body having turns which are wound into the eyelet opening.

Disclosed is an endoscopic stapler that can be operated through the small working channel of a laryngoscope, other rigid endoscope, or a natural orifice to safely and effectively connect tissues permanently or semi-permanently. The endoscopic stapler apparatus includes a handle including a trigger, an outer shaft coupled to the handle, and an inner shaft with prongs positioned at a distal end of the inner shaft. The endoscopic stapler further includes a hook, wherein the hook and prongs are positioned to capture a staple at a tip of the prongs, wherein a proximal end of the inner shaft is coupled to the trigger, and wherein activation of the trigger causes the prongs to translate away from the handle causing the prongs to bend and close the staple.

An extraction system for bone staples provided with a first and a second element, comprising a main gripping body having a distal end and a proximal end. The device comprises, in addition, a central rod provided with a proximal end and a distal end, the latter adapted to couple with the first element of the staple. The central rod slides axially within the main gripping body between a first position and a second position by means of suitable movement means. The device has a plurality of abutment elements protruding in the axial direction from the distal end of the main body, which are arranged circumferentially around the central rod, adapted to act on the second element of the staple to obtain, in cooperation with the movement of the central rod, the separation of the second element of the staple from the first element of the staple and the removal thereof.

A sterile staple implant system is provided for use during a surgery. The staple implant system comprises a group of complementary surgery-specific instruments that are packaged in a sterile state. An instrument tray is configured to preserve the instruments in the sterile state until the staple implant system is opened during the surgery. The instrument tray is configured to provide the surgeon with easy access to the instruments during the surgery. The staple implant system comprises at least a staple inserter and a surgical staple suitable for being implanted in parallel holes drilled across a bone fusion or fixation site of a patient. The surgical staple preferably is loaded in a relaxed configuration into the staple inserter. A staple retention clip retains the surgical staple in the staple inserter until the staple is distracted during the surgery.

A multipurpose medical scissor assembly having a first element and a second element arranged in a scissor configuration. The first element has a first blade support section and a first shank section. The second element has a second blade support section and a second shank section. A segment that mimics the shape of the second blade support section is mounted parallel to the second blade support section. Both the segment and the second blade support section terminate with hooked ends that create a forked configuration. The first element, the second element and the parallel segment are preferably all molded of plastic. Metal blades are attached to the first blade support section and to the second blade support section to provide cutting edges.
