Method of hub communication, processing, display, and cloud analytics
A method of displaying an operational parameter of a surgical system is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by a cloud computing system of the surgical system, first usage data, from a first subset of surgical hubs of the surgical system; receiving, by the cloud computing system, second usage data, from a second subset of surgical hubs of the surgical system; analyzing, by the cloud computing system, the first and the second usage data to correlate the first and the second usage data with surgical outcome data; determining, by the cloud computing system, based on the correlation, a recommended medical resource usage configuration; and displaying, on respective displays on the first and the second subset of surgical hubs, indications of the recommended medical resource usage configuration.
Medical devices with detachable pivotable jaws
Medical systems, devices and methods are provided for engaging tissue, e.g. for clipping tissue, closing a perforation or performing hemostasis. Generally, the medical system including a housing, first and second jaws rotatable relative to the housing, a driver, and an elongate drive wire. The elongate drive wire may be disconnected from the driver, first and second jaws, and the housing, which are left in vivo engaged with the tissue.
Hemostatic clip with needle passer
A device for treating a tissue opening includes a proximal portion including an elongated flexible member, a capsule releasably coupled to a distal end of the flexible member and including a lumen extending therethrough and a clip including a pair of arms movably housed within the capsule. A suture extending along a first one of the pair of arms and including a loop at a distal end thereof extending across an opening extending through the first one of the pair of arms. A suture grabbing element extending laterally from a second one of the pair of arms and including a hook so that, when the pair of arms are moved toward a closed configuration, the hook extends through the opening to grab the loop and draw the distal end of the suture from the first one of the pair of arms toward the second one of the pair of arms.
Endoscopic clip apparatus and methods
An endoscopic clip apparatus includes a clip sleeve defining an interior passage along a longitudinal axis and having a distal end with a plurality of openings defined in the distal end. A clip including a plurality of arms is disposed in the clip sleeve, and each arm includes a distal tip extending from the clip sleeve through one of the plurality of openings. Each arm includes a convex curved section oriented away from the longitudinal axis. The clip sleeve and clip are axially moveable relative to each other such that when the clip sleeve travels over the convex curved section of each arm toward the distal tip of each arm, each arm is constrained by the clip sleeve and each distal tip advances toward the longitudinal axis to grasp tissue.
PMVR CLIP CONFIGURATIONS FOR MITRAL LEAFLET
A clip for leaflet tissue includes a substantially cylindrical hollow body having a proximal end and a distal end. In an initial configuration of the clip, the distal end has a diameter that is smaller than the diameter of the hollow body. The distal end is held in an expanded condition for delivery into a patient. When deployed, the distal end collapses to its initial configuration to grasp onto captured leaflet tissue.
SYSTEM FOR OCCLUSION OF LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE
A device for occluding an atrial appendage includes a catheter-deliverable epicardial implant that is detachably secured to a delivery device. The implant includes an inflatable cuff that is positionable about the atrial appendage to an extent that, when adjustably inflated, the cuff physiologically occludes the atrial appendage. Such occlusion addresses health risks associated with atrial fibrillation and cardiac rhythm disorder.

CLIP FOR ANEURISM
Clip for an aneurism suitable for being implanted into tissue in which an aneurism has formed and carrying out a tight closure of the aneurism which comprises a pair of claw members (2a, 2b) made of non-metallic material, said claw members being provided with articulated joining means (3) which allow the rotation of the pair of claw members around a pivot (4) which interlocks them, the clip being able to adopt at least one opening position (A) and one closure position (B); the clip being provided with at least one spring element (6) at least partially housed in the clip which bends to arrange the clip in closure position which comprises at least one flexible (7) and elastic element with a section with arced configuration (8), press-fitted with two opposing ends (9a, 9b) each one exerting pressure on a different claw member both in the opening and in the closure position.
ENDOSCOPIC REPOSABLE SURGICAL CLIP APPLIER
A reposable surgical clip applier (10) is provided and includes a handle assembly (100), an endoscopic assembly (200) selectively connectable to a housing (102) of the handle assembly (100), and a cartridge assembly (300) selectively loadable in and connectable to the endoscopic assembly (200).
ENDOSCOPIC REPOSABLE SURGICAL CLIP APPLIER
An endoscopic reposable surgical clip applier is provided and includes a handle assembly and an endoscopic assembly. The endoscopic assembly is selectively connectable to and in mechanical communication with the handle assembly and includes a shaft assembly. The shaft assembly includes a pair of jaws pivotably and fixedly supported in, and extending from a distal portion of the shaft assembly, a spindle assembly supported within the endoscopic assembly, and a lockout mechanism fixedly supported on the pair of jaws. A distal end of the spindle is operatively engaged with the pair of jaws to effectuate an opening and a closing of the pair of jaws upon an axial translation of the spindle. The lockout mechanism is in selective engagement with the spindle and includes a first position that enables distal advancement of the spindle and a second position that inhibits distal advancement of the spindle.
