20100205817 | Multifunctional Airway Evaluator For Orotracheal Intubation - A multifunctional airway evaluator for oratracheal intubation includes first and second connected elongated arms, movable relative to each other about a pivot axis, a planar plate connected to the first arm and extending upwardly therefrom, and a gravity-operated angular indicator attached to the planar plate. The plate includes a distance scale on its front face, and the distance scale includes a plurality of spaced apart grade lines aligned radially with the pivotal axis and distance parameters associated with the grade lines, each of the distance parameters indicating a distance between the distal ends of the first and second arms when the arms are in a relative position. The gravity-operated angular indicator includes an axial pin disposed perpendicular to the planar plate, a rotating disk pivotally attached to and rotatable around the axial pin by gravity, and one or more angular measurement marker provided adjacent the rotating disk. | 08-19-2010 |
20110152900 | Surgical String Applicator For Anastomosis Surgery And Method Of Use - A surgical string applicator and the method of use for anastomosis surgery are provided. The surgical string applicator includes an elongate shaft, a string applying assembly including a pair of opposing jaws connected to a distal end of the shaft, one or more jaws including one or more grooves along an inner surface of the jaw, each of the grooves configured to receive therein at least a portion of a surgical string, such as a zip-tie to be applied, and a string fastening mechanism adapted to engage and fasten the surgical string; and a handle portion connected to the proximal end of the shaft; the handle portion including control mechanisms adapted to open and close at least one of the jaws and to actuate the string fastening mechanism. Further provided is an intra-lumenal position guide to be used together with the surgical string applicator. | 06-23-2011 |

20090192352 | Operating Anoscope For Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery - A surgical kit and method for transanal endoscopic surgical techniques. A medical instrument having an obturator tip with an insufflation channel and a tube for an optical device. A medical instrument having an insufflation channel and tube for an optical device, whereby a pressure system is used, such that auxiliary tools can be used to remove a tumor from a transanal cavity. A method for using the surgical kit and medical instruments individually and/or in sequence, whereby said surgical kit and medical instruments are used to access the transanal cavity by using a natural opening of the body. | 07-30-2009 |
20090203961 | Surgical Instrument - A surgical instrument adapted for use during transanal endoscopy is disclosed. The surgical instrument has a shaft having a proximal end and distal end. A working part, for example a scissors or gripper, is attached to the distal end of the shaft, and a handle potion is attached to proximal end of the shaft. The handle portion is actuatable to actuate said working part via a force transmission member. The shaft further includes a linear insertion portion having a longitudinal axis. The proximal end of the shaft is laterally displaced relative to the longitudinal axis of the insertion portion. This configuration increases the ability to manipulate and actuate the surgical instrument during a transanal endoscopic procedure or similar surgical procedure. | 08-13-2009 |
20100036375 | Polyp Removal Device and Method of Use - A device and system for removing tissue such as polyps is provided and includes a tubular member having proximal and distal ends, a snare portion operably extending from within the distal end of the tubular member and including first and second electrodes configured to treat tissue therebetween, the snare portion further including a cutting member for severing the treated tissue. The tissue removal device may further include a handle portion operatively extending from within the proximal end of the tubular member. The handle portion may be configured for operable engagement by a user and the cutting member may extend between distal ends of the first and second electrodes. | 02-11-2010 |
20130103041 | Polyp Removal Device and Method of Use - A device and system for removing polyps is provided and includes a tubular member having proximal and distal ends, a snare portion operably extending from within the distal end of the tubular member, the snare portion including a cutting member for severing the sealed tissue. The polyp removal device may further include a handle portion operatively extending from within the proximal end of the tubular member. The handle portion may be configured for operable engagement by a user and the cutting member may extend between distal ends of the first and second electrodes. | 04-25-2013 |
