摘要:
A surgical apparatus for cutting a tissue mass comprising an elongated housing having a distal portion, a rotatable shaft positioned in the elongated housing, and a plurality of flexible electrocautery cutting blades extending from the housing, wherein the plurality of cutting blades are radially expandable from a first position defining a first diameter to a second larger diameter and the blades are rotatable and transmit electrical energy to cut the tissue mass.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for excision of a sub-cutaneous target tissue mass through a cutaneous incision smaller than a maximum transverse dimension of the tissue mass excised. The apparatus includes an axially elongated housing, tissue piercing means slidable within the housing and radially expandable members for cutting a conical swath having a radius greater than the maximum transverse dimension of the elongated housing and greater than the maximum transverse cross-sectional dimension of the target tissue mass to separate the target tissue mass from surrounding tissue. An expandable member is slidably advancable to bag the target tissue mass for aseptic removal via the elongated housing.
摘要:
A surgical apparatus for removing tissue, which includes (i) an elongated body defining an opening at a distal end and forming a tissue receiving cavity in communication with the opening (ii) a blunt dilator at least partially disposed in the tissue receiving cavity and (iii) a cutting member operatively movable transverse to the elongated body in proximity to the opening.
摘要:
An apparatus for removing suspect breast tissue which includes a penetrating member in the form of a stylet with a tapered front end that can be guided along a localization guide wire. The apparatus also including a first cutting device in the form of a cannula slidingly engaged with the stylet. A driving assembly is in driving engagement with the cannula and, upon activation, potential energy stored in the driving assembly acts to drive the forward end of the cannula forward of the stylet's forward end so as to define a core cavity. A second cutting device which includes a garret wire having a looped section positioned within a recess at the forward end of the cannula is also provided. The driving assembly preferably also acts to rotate the cannula with a cam arrangement such that the cannula rotates when being driven forward. The garret wire is also attached to the rotating cannula such that the wire is drawn up to a stop bead just at the time the cannula reaches its maximum forward extension and further rotation of the cannula results in the contraction of the wire loop and a cutting of a core sample of suspect breast tissue.
摘要:
A device may include a sheath including a lumen, a distal end, and a proximal end. The device may further include an end-effector unit and an elongate member connected to the end-effector unit. The end-effector unit and the sheath may be movable relative to each other to achieve a first state of the end-effector unit and a second state of the end-effector unit. Moreover, the medical device may include a handle having a first handle portion connected to the proximal end of the sheath, a second handle portion connected to the proximal end of the elongate member, and a compliant member longitudinally aligned with the sheath between the first handle portion and the second handle portion. The first and second handle portions may be configured such that relative movement of the first and second handle portions causes the end-effector to move between the first and second states.
摘要:
A guide wire deployment system that can be utilized as a pre-surgical procedure without the need for radiology imaging. The clip marker would include light and sonic sensors to determine angular orientation and distance from the needle. Wireless communication between the handheld insertion device and the clip marker would provide information to guide the needle to the clip marker location. The guide wire would then be pushed from the needle and laid in a path to outside the patient.
摘要:
Systems and methods are described for performing navigation-assisted medical procedures such as biopsies, surgeries and pathology procedures by obtaining location information of an item of interest located within at least a portion of a subject; sensing position information of a moveable device; determining a relative position of the moveable device to the item of interest using the location information of the item of interest and the position information of the moveable device; and providing feedback based on the relative position of the moveable device to the item of interest that can be used to change the relative position of the moveable device to the item of interest.
摘要:
Polymer insulators and methods of using polymer insulators are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method includes separating a first portion of a subject's tissue from a second portion of the subject's tissue so that there is a space between the first and second portions of tissue. Deionized water, a buffered saline solution, liquid polymers, gels, particles, foams, and/or gases are disposed between the first and second portions of tissue, and the first portion of tissue is exposed to energy to treat the first portion of tissue.
摘要:
A system and method are provided for guiding surgery using MR images and radioactive markers. The method comprises reconstructing the surface of an anatomical structure and a gamma probe orientated to optimize a radioactivity reading from a radioactive seed placed at a target location in the anatomic structure for each of one or more positions of the gamma probe. The position and orientation of the gamma probe is detected in each reconstructed surface to estimate a position of the radioactive seed relative to the reconstructed surface.
