A surgical clip for simultaneously cutting a blood vessel and controlling bleeding, includes two legs, each including a flat surface and a cutting surface, and a curved section configured to join the two legs. An applicator for installing a surgical clip that simultaneously divides a blood vessel and controls bleeding, includes two jaws that simultaneously hold two surgical clips, and two handles that cause the two jaws to exert a deforming force on the two surgical clips.

Provided is a jaw tool formed from two separable units and which includes a fastening device that attaches the two units together when the jaw tool is in use and which may automatically separate the units after the device performs its function such as clamping and/or cutting. Also provided is a jaw tool having a cutting blade wherein the contours of the device are shaped so that force is concentrated on the cutting bade when the device is closed. The jaw tool may be manufactured from a single injection molded-component that is used in duplicate to form the jaw tool. The jaw tool may be used in various applications in which it may be beneficial to simultaneously clamp and cut an object, such as various medical applications including vascular, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and placental.

A clamping and cutting device that has a blade and blade receptacle aspect of the cutting mechanism with open clamping mechanisms that are actuated in a step-wise fashion due to a mechanical timing mechanism.

A surgical clip for simultaneously cutting a blood vessel and controlling bleeding, includes two legs, each including a flat surface and a cutting surface, and a curved section configured to join the two legs. An applicator for installing a surgical clip that simultaneously divides a blood vessel and controls bleeding, includes two jaws that simultaneously hold two surgical clips, and two handles that cause the two jaws to exert a deforming force on the two surgical clips.

A surgical tool configured to be interchangeably attached to a first controller interface and a second controller interface that is different from the first controller interface is disclosed.

The present disclosure provides an apparatus, and methods of using same, for collecting blood from an umbilical cord in a sterile environment that includes an umbilical cord retaining assembly and a blood collection assembly rotatably connected to the umbilical cord retaining assembly. A cord cutting blade, which is carried by the blood collection assembly, functions to cut the umbilical cord when the blood collection assembly is rotated relative to the umbilical cord retaining assembly. After the umbilical cord is cut, blood flows by force of gravity into the blood collection region of the blood collection assembly to which a blood collection bag can be interconnected.

The disclosure is directed to clamping and cutting device for flexible, wet tubes. Specifically, the disclosure is directed to devices, kits and methods for selectably clamping an umbilical cord and only then cutting the cord, without the necessity of defining a mother side and/or baby side.

A dual-directional, or multi-degree-of-freedom, surgical clip is provided. The clip includes a top clamp. A bottom clamp is hingedly connected to the top clamp at a hinged joint for mutually pivotal transverse motion about the hinged joint. The top and bottom clamps each include a hinged attachment at an extreme end thereof. A first portion of each of the top and bottom clamps is in hinged connection with a corresponding second portion of the respective top and bottom clamps for mutually pivotal lateral movement. A method of using the clip to concurrently grasp and move patient tissue is also provided.

An elongated endoscopic apparatus has an elongated catheter provided with a snare provision for performing a snaring procedure, a surgery clip, and a clip applier for clipping the wound left by the snaring procedure with the surgery clip. Preferably the elongated catheter is formed with an elongated inner tubular conduit that can accommodate a plurality of surgery clips, each having a C-shape characterized by a pair of elongated jaws mated together at a hinge end, wherein the jaws have tip ends forming the head end for the clip and hinge end forms the tail end for the clip when said plurality of clips are loaded into core of the inner tubular conduit in head to tail procession. The clip applier dispenses the clips a single at a time.

The disclosure relates to a medical device for placing a catheter in an umbilical cord blood vessel of a newborn, wherein the medical device comprises a longitudinal axis, a proximal and a distal end, the medical device being designed as a sheath to enclose a portion of an umbilical cord. The medical device comprises a first unit comprising a clamping device for clamping the umbilical cord, and/or a second unit, comprising a severing device for severing the umbilical cord to form an umbilical cut surface, and a third unit comprising a hooking device for spreading the umbilical cut surface.
