A suturing device comprises a housing (1) having operating handles at one end and two clamping working jaws (2 and 3) at the other end, at least one of which (jaw 3) is mounted for movement relative to the second. The device also comprises: a receptacle (capsules 18) having a quick-setting, biocompatible, fluid material, which is used as a means for fastening tissues, wherein at the outlet of said receptacle is a controllable screen, for example a membrane, which is destroyed when the pressure in the receptacle is increased to a set level; and a mechanism for feeding the fluid material into a suturing zone. The working jaw (3) is hollow, and disposed therein are capsules (18) which comprise the fluid material and communicate, via the outlet, with dies (21) which are designed in a wall of the working jaw (3) that interacts with the suturable tissues. The mechanism for feeding the fluid material is designed to be capable of increasing the pressure inside the capsules (18) and forming streams of the fluid material which pass through the dies (21) at a pressure sufficient for passing through the suturable tissues.

A powered handheld electromechanical surgical device includes a motor configured to drive extension and retraction of a drive component, a sensor configured to sense force exerted on the drive component during extension of the drive component, and a controller including a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive the sensed force from the sensor, control a speed of the motor during extension of the drive component in accordance with the sensed force, determine a speed profile or a force profile during extension of the drive component, and control a speed of the motor during retraction of the drive component in accordance with the speed profile or the force profile.

Disclosed herein are forceps devices, for example, forceps devices for use in medical procedures such as those involving bone reduction. These forceps devices can comprise features that allow for locking or restricting the motion of the device, for example engagement features and corresponding and complementary opposing features. In some embodiments, the engagement features comprise teeth and the opposing features comprise indentations. In some embodiments, the engagement features comprise teeth, and the opposing features comprise teeth comprising a complementary opposing angle to the angle of the engagement features.

The present disclosure provides methods and devices for wound closure. In some exemplary embodiments, a tissue approximation device is provided. In some embodiments, the tissue approximation device includes a first scissors arm having a proximal end and a distal end and a second scissors arm having a proximal end and a distal end. In some embodiments, the second scissors arm is connected to the first scissors arm at a pivot point. In some embodiments, the tissue approximation device further includes a first rake member connected to the distal end of the first scissors arm via a first articulating joint. In some embodiments, the first rake member includes a plurality of hooks configured to grip tissue.

A surgical instrument can comprise a handle, a motor, and a shaft extending from the handle. The handle and/or the shaft can define a longitudinal axis. The surgical instrument can further comprise a fastener cartridge comprising a plurality of fasteners removably stored therein, an anvil configured to deform the fasteners, a closure drive configured to move the anvil toward and away from the fastener cartridge which is rotatable about the longitudinal axis, and a firing drive configured to deploy the fasteners from the fastener cartridge which is rotatable about the longitudinal axis. The surgical instrument can further comprise a transmission comprising a first operating configuration which connects the motor to the closure drive and a second operating configuration which connects the motor to the firing drive.

A surgical device includes a forceps device that performs a bending movement and opening and closing movements of grasping portions of the forceps device, driven portions to which a driving force is transmitted from outside the surgical device, and plural cords, each being fixed to one of the driven portions, the cords transmitting movements of the driven portions to the forceps device. The forceps device performs one or both of the bending movement and the opening and closing movements when all or a portion of the cords are pulled.
