Abstract: A medical device with an articulating shaft assembly includes at least one slat member which has a cross section that allows it to be substantially flexible in a first plane and relatively stiff in the plane perpendicular to the first plane. A bendable section located at the working end of the device includes at least a portion of one or more slat members, such that the bendable section will articulate in the first plane in response to tensive and/or compressive forces applied to the bendable section. The device also includes a shaft section which is coupled to and supports the bendable section, and at least one control mechanism arranged to cause the tensive and/or compressive forces needed to articulate the bendable section to be applied to the bendable section.

Abstract: A surgical suturing device (10) having an axis extending between a proximal end and a distal end is operable to move a suture (32) through body tissue (34). A handle assembly (110) is coupled to an elongated shaft (14) having a hollow configuration. An actuating rod (16) is disposed to extend between the handle assembly (110) and the shaft (14). A thumb actuation assembly is coupled to a proximal end of the actuating rod (16) for moving the rod both axially and rotationally. A needle assembly (2) at the distal end of the actuating rod (16) is movable with the actuating rod (16) between an extended state and a retracted state and at various angular orientations. Bifurcated portions (24, 26) of the needle assembly (20) define a suture slot (28), the bifurcated portions having a proximate relationship when the needle assembly (20) is in the retracted state and having a separated relationship when the needle assembly (20) is in the extended state. The needle assembly (20) is biased to the retracted state and the bifurcated portions (24, 26) are biased to the separated relationship. A handle assembly (110) is operable to move the needle assembly (20) between a free suture state and a captured suture state. In an associated method of use, the needle is bifurcated to form at least one pair of arms (24, 26 or 26b, 38b) to define a suture slot (28).

Abstract: An articulating shaft includes an outer tubular member having a longitudinal axis and portions defining a slot. An inner tubular member is disposed within the outer member and movable about the axis of the outer member. A wedge carried by the inner member is movable within the slot in an interference fit with the slot portions to articulate the outer member. In an associated method, the inner member can be turned in a first direction to bend the outer member in an associated second direction, and the inner member can be turned in a third direction to move the outer member in an associated fourth direction.
