| 20090182333 | Method and Apparatus for Surgical Electrocautery - The invention provides a surgical electrocautery method and apparatus that achieves sealing along the entire tissue length, and that also is able to deliver adequate force to produce an effective electrocautery seal. This problem is solved by using an incompressible fluid contained in a sac or sacs positioned to support the one or more electrodes used for electrocauterization. The profile of the electrodes thus conforms to the tissue surface and thickness variations, while exerting an optimized pressure along the entire length of the surface. | 07-16-2009 |
| 20110196413 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RETAINING VASO-OCCLUSIVE DEVICES WITHIN AN ANEURYSM - The present invention is directed to systems for occluding an aneurysm having an aneurysmal neck and an aneurysmal inner wall. Generally, a device in accordance with the present invention includes a mesh-like structure that is integrally composed of a shape-memory alloy such as NiTi. The device is deployed within the aneurysm through the aneurysmal neck. The device is configured to be in a deployed state and an undeployed state, and is configured to transition from the undeployed state to the deployed state by exposure to a higher temperature and/or by being unconstrained. The device may function to retain finer vaso-occlusive devices such as vaso-occlusive coils and/or embolic liquids. Furthermore, the device itself may function as a vaso-occlusive device. | 08-11-2011 |

| 20110202058 | Apparatus for Tissue Cauterization - The invention is concerned with cauterizing and resecting tissue. A pair of electrodes are placed on opposed tissue surfaces, and radio frequency power is applied through the electrodes to cauterizing a tissue mass therebetween. After cauterization has been effected, the tissue may be resected along a plane within the cauterized region with minimum or no bleeding. The tissue mass may then be removed. | 08-18-2011 |

| 20100168781 | EXPANDABLE BODY CAVITY LINER DEVICE - The present invention is an aneurysm treatment device for treating aneurysms of various shapes and sizes. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20110137163 | Hybrid Micro Guide Catheter - A hybrid microguide catheter and method for making and using the same. The catheter may include a first tubular member and a second tubular member. The tubular members may be arranged so that the second tubular member extends distally beyond the first tubular member. Alternatively, the catheter may include a tubular body having a first opening and a second opening. The first opening may be positioned along the tubular body a distance from the second opening. | 06-09-2011 |

| 20080262527 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ASSISTING IN THE INTRODUCTION OF SURGICAL IMPLEMENTS INTO A BODY - A tissue penetration device is provided that includes a bell-like, at least partially transparent housing. A valved port is provided in the housing for introduction of a penetrator therein. The valved port includes both a valve control and a port. A vacuum system, including a vacuum source, is securely and sealably attached through the housing to advance a patient's tissue onto the penetrator. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20090048491 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LAPAROSCOPIC RETRACTION - Extraluminal and intraluminal devices and methods, and laparoscopic instrumentation, dramatically improve laparoscopic retraction of both the small and large intestine. A scaffolding external to or within a selected segment or segments of small and/or large bowel is created, allowing for the retraction of the entire selected segment or segments of bowel via grasping either the device or supported bowel wall with a laparoscopic instrument or instruments. The devices may be designed and placed in a modular fashion, with the surgeon building the final scaffolding intra-operatively, or the scaffolding may be manufactured or pre-assembled prior to intra-operative use. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20100280508 | Method and Apparatus for RF Anastomosis - RF electrocautery is used to create an anastomosis between vessels or organs, such as the bowel. In an embodiment, tissues are fused together to create a seal between two or more tissue surfaces, for example in a side-to-side bowel anastomosis. | 11-04-2010 |

| 20080221565 | ELECTROCAUTERY METHOD AND APPARATUS - An electrode structure and a mechanism for automated or user-selected operation or compensation of the electrodes, for example to determine tissue coverage and/or prevent arcing between bottom electrodes during electrocautery is disclosed. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080228179 | ELECTROCAUTERY METHOD AND APPARATUS - An electrode structure and a mechanism for automated or user-selected operation or compensation of the electrodes, for example to determine tissue coverage and/or prevent arcing between bottom electrodes during electrocautery is disclosed. | 09-18-2008 |

| 20120071871 | ELECTROSURGICAL TISSUE SEALING AUGMENTED WITH A SEAL-ENHANCING COMPOSITION - Embodiments of the disclosed technology provide systems, devices, and methods of creating an electrosurgical tissue seal that is augmented with a seal-enhancing composition. One embodiment of a device includes a set of opposing electrosurgical jaws configured to be able to close on a targeted tissue-sealing site; the jaws have a reservoir configured to hold a tissue seal-enhancing composition. The reservoir is in communication with a surface of the tissue-sealing site when the jaws are closed on the site, and the electrosurgical device is configured to deliver the tissue seal-enhancing composition to the site during an electrosurgical procedure. The device is further configured to deliver sufficient radiofrequency energy to the site such that the targeted tissue and the tissue seal-enhancing composition at the tissue-sealing site are processed to form a high integrity sealed tissue site. | 03-22-2012 |
