    摘要: A device comprising: a first jaw having a gripping surface; a second jaw having a gripping surface, the second jaw being spaced apart from the first jaw and being configured to move between an open position and a closed position, and a sealer divider having a plurality of stops including at least: one or more distal stops, one or more proximal stops; and one or more intermediate stops that are of an intermediate height when compared to a height of the one or more distal stops and a height the one or more proximal stops, and wherein the plurality of stops are non-conductive and are distributed on the gripping surface of the first jaw, the gripping surface of the second jaw, or both, and wherein the first jaw and the second jaw have a proximal end and a distal end and the plurality of stops produce a gap that is widest at the proximal end and tapers so that a gap at the distal end is narrower than the gap at the proximal end.

    摘要: Disclosed embodiments include apparatuses and methods for deploying a coilable filament on opposing sides of a surface. An apparatus includes a needle mechanism configured to extend and withdraw the needle. A coil mechanism is configured to advance a stylet through the needle to extend a coilable filament at a distal end of the stylet. An interlock mechanism is configured to control operations of the needle mechanism and the coil mechanism, including moving the needle and the stylet in concert to extend the needle and coilable filament to a distal side of the surface, separately advancing the stylet to extend a first segment of the coil on the distal side of the surface, withdrawing the needle to the proximal side of the surface, and separately further advancing the stylet to deploy a second segment of the coil along the proximal side of the surface.

    摘要: Disclosed embodiments include catheter assemblies, systems for sampling a targeted region of tissue, and methods of sampling a targeted region of tissue. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, a catheter assembly includes: a catheter defining a lumen therein, a wall of the catheter defining an opening therein at a distal end of the catheter; a flexible needle disposable in the lumen; and an offset mechanism configured to urge the needle to extend from the opening at the distal end of the catheter at an angle that diverges from an axis of the lumen.

    摘要: A needle apparatus having a sheath with a protective hypotube insert and a method of making the needle sheath. An example needle apparatus includes a handle, a needle having a proximal end connected to the handle and a sheath. The sheath is configured to receive of the needle. The sheath includes a proximal end connected to the handle, a distal end, a lumen and the protective insert. The lumen passes from the proximal end to the distal end of the sheath. The protective insert is received within the lumen at the distal end of the sheath when force and/or heat are applied.

    摘要: A medical instrument having an aspiration needle and a protective needle cap. The cap protects a scope from damage due to needle insertion. The cap is placed over the end of a needle before insertion into an endoscope (e.g., bronchoscope) before use in a patient. The cap includes a first section having a first cross-sectional dimension based on an outside diameter value of a distal end of a medical device used in an endoscope and a second section having a second cross-sectional value that is smaller than the first cross-sectional value. A connection force exists between the first section and the distal end of the medical device, the connection force being greater than a frictional force between the device and an interior wall of an endoscope as the medical device is moved within the endoscope.
