Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080243143Surgical instrument having a fastener delivery mechanism - A delivery device for delivering a plurality of individual surgical fasteners. The delivery device includes a drive mechanism having distal and proximal ends. The drive mechanism has a moving member and a fixed opposing member, wherein the moving member is moveable proximally and distally with respect to the delivery device. The moving member has a sharpened distal end for piercing tissue. The device includes at least one surgical fastener located between the first and the second members. Each of the at least one surgical fasteners has a proximal end and a distal end. The device also has an actuator having at least two sequential positions. A first position for moving the moving member distally and piercing tissue, and a second position for moving the moving member proximally, thereby deploying the distal end of the fastener.10-02-2008

20090221934METHOD FOR ENDOLUMINALLY OR LAPAROSCOPICALLY EXCISING A TISSUE SAMPLE FROM AREAS IN A PATIENT'S BODY, TRACTION MEANS AND KIT - Traction means (09-03-2009
20100036198DEVICE FOR THE MANIPULATION OF BODY TISSUE - A device for manipulating body tissue comprises a base structure and at least one tubular member having a proximal end and an orientable distal end that defines a seat for supporting a surgical instrument, in which the tubular member is connected to the base structure. An actuation mechanism is suitable for orientating the distal end of the tubular member to take it into certain operative configurations. The actuation mechanism is also connected to the base structure. Means are also foreseen for the connection of the base structure to a distal end portion of an insertion tube of an endoscope or laparoscope, so that the actuation mechanism and the tubular member are arranged outside the insertion tube. The tubular member interacts with the actuation mechanism so that a movement of an actuation portion of the tubular member with respect to the base structure leads to the orientation of the orientable end.02-11-2010
