摘要： A surgical stapler is provided which is insertable through an endoscopic tube to enable a surgeon to staple a hernia patch to tissue inside a body cavity. The endoscopic surgical stapler includes a staple cartridge pivotally mounted on the distal end of a support tube extending from a handle provided with an actuator mechanism for actuating a staple forming mechanism inside the staple cartridge to fasten staples to the tissue. The staple cartridge is adjustable to different angular orientations relative to the support tube. The staple actuator mechanism is operable to actuate the staple cartridge in any of the angular orientations. The support shaft is rotatable about its longitudinal axis relative to the handle to adjust the rotational orientation of the support shaft and the staple cartridge. The staple cartridge is rotatable about its longitudinal axis relative to the support shaft to adjust the rotational position of the staple cartridge relative to the support shaft. Separate actuator mechanisms are provided on the handle to control the pivotal movement of the staple cartridge, the rotation of the support shaft, and the rotation of the staple cartridge relative to the support shaft.

摘要： A surgical instrument having an elongated shaft to which is attached an inflatable balloon, commonly referred to a "balloon dissector", for dissecting a desired layer of internal bodily tissue from remaining tissue layers to create an operative space is disclosed. Alternatively, an instrument without a balloon can be used to perform a manual dissection. In one embodiment, the instrument has a tissue-contacting element in communication with the shaft distal end, and at least a portion of the tissue-contacting element is transparent. The instrument is adapted to receive an endoscope through its shaft and extend to adjacent the tissue-contacting element. The endoscope is supported and positioned in an extension assembly. The instrument provides for visualization using the endoscope as the instrument is advanced through tissue, but prevents direct contact between the tip of the endoscope containing the lens and the tissue. The extension assembly also enables the endoscope to be adequately positioned and supported beyond the shaft distal end. When the instrument incorporates the balloon, the endoscope can extend into the lumen of the inflated balloon. In this way, improved visualization during use can be obtained.

摘要： A surgical stapling instrument with a remotely articulated staple head assembly on a rotatable support shaft. A joy stick mounted to the shaft of the instrument near the handle allows for remote articulation of the staple head assembly. The staple head assembly includes a narrow contour for insertion between adjacent rib pairs without rib spreading. The staple head assembly further includes a reloadable staple cartridge which may be replaced with differently sized staples of a second cartridge. A closure trigger clamps tissue prior to stapling and cooperates with a second trigger that performs the staple firing operation. The triggers include a safety lock mechanism for preventing premature staple firing.

摘要： An NMR radio-frequency (RF) coil is made up, in the preferred embodiment, of upper and lower coil assemblies. Each coil assembly includes a tuned circuit. In operation, only one of the tuned circuits is energized, while the other is mutually inductively coupled such that they resonate together as one circuit at substantially the same frequency. A first set of latches is provided to fasten the lower coil assembly to a patient cradle. A second set of latches is utilized to fasten the upper coil assembly to the lower while permitting relative longitudinal motion between the two assemblies.In another embodiment, which does not utilize mutual inductance, the tuned circuits on each assembly are electrically connected to form a complete coil by means of, for example, an electrical plug-and-jack arrangement.
