| 20080275472 | Assisted Apparatus for Anastomosis and Method Thereby of Reconnecting the Urethra to the Bladder After Removal of the Prostate During a Prostatectomy - An assisted anastomosis apparatus and a method thereby for reconnecting the urethral stump to the neck of the bladder after removal of the prostate during a prostatectomy, comprising two suture units, namely a urethral stump suturing unit ( | 11-06-2008 |
| 20090062793 | CUTTING WIRE ELECTRODE - The present invention pertains to a cutting wire electrode, comprising at least one elongated shaft with a main longitudinal axis having at least one bore located at its distal portion, said bore being approximately perpendicular to said main longitudinal axis; and at least one wire loop located in the distal portion of said shaft; said loop comprising at least one continuous portion adapted to cut biological tissues, especially by electrocoagulation, and at least one abutment, wherein said abutment is adapted to be anchored within said bore and hence integrating said loop with said shaft. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090182314 | WORKING TOOL FOR LASER-FACILITATED REMOVAL OF TISSUE FROM A BODY CAVITY AND METHODS THEREOF - Apparatus is provided, including an intraluminal tube having a proximal end and a distal end, the tube being shaped to provide a longitudinal lumen. A treatment element, having a proximal end and a distal end, is disposed within the lumen of the tube. A handle assembly is coupled to the proximal end of the tube. A user offset controller is coupled to the handle assembly, and is configured to set an offset of the distal end of the treatment element with respect to the distal end of the tube. Other embodiments are also described. | 07-16-2009 |
| 20100082062 | SUTURING ASSEMBLY - A suturing needle is disclosed having a main longitudinal axis, a distal sharp portion and proximal portion along said axis. The distal portion is hollowed, and the hollow is approximately parallel to said axis. A further embodiment of the suturing needle is disclosed such that the distal portion comprises a notched open bore located at the needle's extreme distal end. Other embodiments of the suturing assembly are described accommodating a suture in the needle bore. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20110022073 | BALLOON WITH RIGID TUBE FOR OCCLUDING THE UTERINE ARTERY - Apparatus is provided for use with a subject's body, vagina, vaginal fornix, uterus, and uterine artery. A fornix-engaging structure is inserted into the vagina and engages the vaginal fornix. A rod is inserted into the subject's body via the fornix-engaging structure, such that a distal end of the rod passes through vaginal tissue at a first vaginal site until the distal end of the rod is at a first extrauterine site outside of the uterine artery, but in a vicinity of a portion of the uterine artery that supplies a uterine fibroid. A rod-guide is coupled to the fornix-engaging structure, and guides the distal end of the rod to the first extrauterine site. A uterine artery compression device is disposed on the distal end of the rod. Other embodiments are also described. | 01-27-2011 |
