Abstract: A medical device having a handle and an elongate member extending from the handle is provided. The elongate member defines an elongate member lumen where a biopsy needle extends through the elongate member lumen. The medical device has an imaging device extending through a biopsy needle lumen of the biopsy needle. The imaging device extends between a proximal end of the biopsy needle and a distal end of the biopsy needle. The medical device has an elongate member opening at a distal end of the elongate member and a biopsy needle deployment feature proximate to the elongate member opening. The biopsy needle deployment feature moves between a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the biopsy needle extends past the elongate member opening and in the second configuration the biopsy needle extends through the elongate member opening.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to controlling electrical power of an electrotherapeutic signal that is provided to a biological tissue engaged by an electrosurgical instrument during a medical procedure. Electrical power—a product of a voltage difference across and an electrical current conducted by the engaged biological tissue—is controlled according to a therapeutic schedule. The electrotherapeutic schedule can be reduced or terminated in response to a termination criterion being met. In some examples, the termination criterion is a current characteristic, such as, for example, a decrease in current conducted by the engaged biological tissue. In some examples, the termination criterion is a biological tissue resistance characteristic, such as, for example, an increase in the biological tissue resistance that exceeds a predetermined delta resistance value.

Abstract: A modular endoscope system comprises a first modular section comprising imaging and illumination units, and a patient-insertable second modular section that can be detached to the first modular section via an attachment mechanism, wherein the first modular section is positionable at a distal end section of the second modular section and is configured to illuminate and image a portion of a patient anatomy. A method of using a modular endoscopy system comprises attaching a first modular section of the modular endoscopy system to a second modular section of the modular endoscopy system, positioning at least a portion of the modular endoscopy system within a patient, illuminating and imaging a portion of a patient anatomy via the first modular section, removing the modular endoscopy system from the patient, and detaching the second modular section from the first modular section after removal of the modular endoscopy system from the patient.

Abstract: A medical intervention device may include a handheld device adapted for minimally invasive procedures. The device may include a handle that remains outside of the patient and an extension that extends from the handle into the patient and includes an end effector such as a forceps at a distal end. The mechanical operating relationship between the extension and the end effector may provide for motion about multiple intersecting axes thereby avoiding a need for compensating motion. In particular, yaw and pitch motion may be imparted independent of one another and avoiding a need for compensating motion of one axis for another. Moreover, the mechanical operating relationships of the device be configured for precisely mimicking the hand motion of the surgeon or other user and may include ratioed motion that provides for more precise motion at the end effector than at the handle and/or tremor control.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatic control of surgical site temperature during an endoscopic procedure are disclosed. An exemplary endoscopic surgical system comprises a endoscopic surgical device controllably coupled to a medical instrument to deliver energy to an anatomical target at a surgical site, a temperature sensor to measure temperatures at the surgical site at different times during the procedure, and a controller circuit to generate a temperature trend or a prediction of future temperature at the surgical site using the temperature measurements. Based at least in part on the generated temperature trend or the prediction of future temperature at the surgical site, the controller circuit can adjust at least one operating parameter associated with the endoscopic surgical system to achieve or maintain substantially a desired temperature at the surgical site during the procedure to prevent, or reduce the severity of, laser-induced tissue thermal damage.

Abstract: A surgical device comprising: a closure assembly including: (a) a movement unit including: a bar that moves in a direction of a prescribed motion; (b) a latch unit including: (i) a latch plate including a hook latch that selectively receives the bar, the latch plate being movable in the direction of the prescribed motion between (A) a lockable state where the hook latch is engageable by the bar of the movement unit, and (B) an unlockable state where the bar does not reach the hook latch or the hook latch is moved out of alignment with the prescribed motion so that the hook latch is not engaged by the bar; and (ii) a stop that restricts movement of the movement unit relative to the hook latch.
