| 20100191257 | ACTUATOR AND DETACHABLE CONNECTOR OF FLEXIBLE CLIP APPLIER - A clip applier for deploying a surgical clip includes an actuator having a flexible wire and a collet chuck coupled to a piston. Further, actuation of the piston in a forward direction towards a distal end of the clip applier advances the flexible wire in the forward direction. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100106167 | FLEXIBLE CLIP APPLIER - A clip applier includes a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end. Further, the distal end of the shaft includes a flexible tool having at least two rails connected to each other by at least one jointed connection, and the at least two rails configured to rotate about the jointed connection. Additionally, a pair of jaws may be provided at a distal end of the flexible tool. Further, an actuator may be provided at the proximal end of the shaft to advance the surgical clip within the flexible tool. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20090131976 | FENESTRATED SUPER ATRAUMATIC GRASPER APPARATUS - A surgical tool assembly includes a pair of opposing jaws pivotally connected to each other. Further, at least one viewing opening may be provided in at least one of the opposing jaws. In this regard, the at least one viewing opening may extend from an upper to a lower surface of the opposing jaw in which the viewing opening is provided. Additionally, the at least one viewing opening may include a material retainer provided proximate the lower surface of the opposing jaw in which the at least one viewing opening is provided. Further, the material retainer may include an inclined surface inclined towards a central axis of the at least one viewing opening. Further, a grasping insert may be molded onto a lower surface of the opposing jaw in which the viewing opening is provided and an elastomeric material of the grasping inserts may within the at least one viewing opening, the material of the grasping inserts covering the inclined surface of the first material retainer. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20080281299 | ENDOSCOPIC TOOL ASSEMBLY - A surgical tool assembly is provided having a surgical tool, a scope; and a detachable clip which couples the tool and scope. The clip includes a first grip which engages a peripheral surface of the tool and a second grip which engages a peripheral surface of the scope. Additionally, the first and second grips may be formed continuously with one another. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20080277853 | CLIP FOR COUPLING A SURGICAL TOOL AND SCOPE - A clip for coupling a surgical tool and a scope. The clip includes a first grip having a first radial center and a first diameter, the first grip is configured to engage an outer surface of the tool. Additionally, there is provided a second grip having a second radial center and a second diameter, the second grip is configured to engage an outer surface of the scope. Further, the second grip may be provided between the first grip and a bottom opening of the clip; and the first and second grips may be provided next to each other such that the first radial center of the first grip is radially spaced from the second radial center of the second grip. Additionally, the first diameter of the first grip may be larger than the second diameter of the second grip. | 11-13-2008 |
