| 20100217073 | ELECTROSURGICAL INSTRUMENT, AND AN ENDOSCOPE WITH A CORRESPONDING INSTRUMENT - An electrosurgical instrument including a protective tube, to be inserted into a working channel of an endoscope, and an electrode disposed within the protective tube. The electrode is movable in a distal direction and a proximal direction inside the protective tube by a control element. By being moved in the distal direction, the electrode can be brought into a deployed position in which the electrode at least partially protrudes from a distal end of the protective tube. The distal end of the protective tube has a closure element with an opening for the passage of the electrode. The opening of the closure element has a maximum internal diameter smaller than the internal diameter of the protective tube and is used for guiding and/or cleaning the electrode. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100262141 | SURGICAL INSTRUMENT FOR SEALING BLOOD VESSELS, AND HEAT-CURABLE ADHESIVE AS A MEDICAMENT - A surgical instrument including an injection device and a dosing device. These devices are designed such that a predetermined amount of an adhesive or an adhesive containing filler can be injected into a sealing section of the blood vessel. The blood vessel can then be cut at the filled point and is sealed on both sides. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20110028887 | WATER JET SURGICAL INSTRUMENT - A water jet surgical instrument including a supply line for supplying a cutting fluid and a discharge nozzle for forming and discharging a fluid jet, wherein the fluid jet has a predetermined spread angle and/or a predetermined emergence energy. A jet shaping device is arranged relative to the discharge nozzle such that the fluid jet is able to be adjusted by the jet shaping device with regard to the spread angle and/or emergence energy thereof. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110071427 | CRYOSURGICAL INSTRUMENT FOR OBTAINING A TISSUE SAMPLE, METHOD FOR CHILLING A PROBE HEAD OF A CRYOSURGICAL PROBE - A cryosurgical instrument for obtaining a tissue sample with a probe, including the probe including a probe head onto which the tissue sample is frozen and a probe shank for guiding the probe head to the tissue sample, a supply means for supplying a fluid into an expansion chamber configured such that supplied fluid expands therein for cooling the probe head, and a removal means connected to the expansion chamber for removing the expanded fluid therefrom via at least one opening on a distal end of the probe to remove the expanded fluid to an outer region outside the probe. A method for cooling a probe head of a cryosurgical probe including supplying a fluid to an expansion chamber near the probe head, expanding the fluid so that heat energy is withdrawn from the probe head, and removing the expanded fluid in a distal region of the probe. | 03-24-2011 |
