20110208255	INTRODUCER DEVICE FOR USE IN NUSS PROCEDURE - An introducer device is for use in Nuss procedure to guide a steel bar in retrieving an insertion route which passes through and between a patient's sternum and heart. The introducer device includes an elongated introducer body and an ultrasonic probe. The introducer body extends in a lengthwise direction to terminate at a leading tip end for coupling the concave steel bar to retrieve the insertion route, and a grip end opposite to the leading tip, and has a curve segment configured to establish the insertion route when the leading tip end is led to pass through and between the sternum and the heart. The curve segment has a concave sternum-side surface and a convex heart-side surface. The ultrasonic probe is coupled to the leading tip end to transmit ultrasonic waves towards the heart and to receive reflected ultrasonic waves traveling from the heart when passing through and between the sternum and the heart.	08-25-2011
20110208237	FORCEPS FOR PATHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS - A forceps for pathological diagnosis includes first and second proximate arm segments including finger-operable grip ends that are movable towards or away from each other, first and second distal arm segments including grasping-jaw ends that are movable towards or away from each other, a coupling member disposed to bring the relative movement between the first and second proximate arm segments into synchronization with that between the first and second distal arm segments, an ultrasonic probe mounted to the grasping-jaw end of the first distal arm segment, and adapted to transmit ultrasonic waves towards a target tissue that is clamped between the grasping-jaw ends and to receive reflected ultrasonic waves traveling from the target tissue, and a shielding member disposed on the grasping-jaw end of the second distal arm segment, and capable of partially reflecting ultrasonic waves transmitting through the target tissue.	08-25-2011
