Assignee:
General Surgical Innovations, Inc. - Norwalk CT
International Classification:
A61B 132
US Classification:
600207
Abstract:
An inflatable manipulator for organ manipulation during surgery is disclosed. The system typically includes an inflatable balloon connected to an infusion source where the balloon is either coupled to a relatively rigid platform or fitted with a positioning structure such as a pocket. In open heart surgery, the platform is used to position and stabilize the balloon under the heart. In minimally invasive surgery, the balloon fitted with the pocket and can be rolled into a narrow configuration and inserted through a small incision using an insertion device. The insertion device can then be removed once the manipulator is in position. In use, the balloon of the manipulator is inflated by the infusion source thereby elevating and tilting the organ to the desired position for surgical access. Systems including multiple chamber manipulators each with a separate infusion source are also disclosed, as are combined methods for cooling organs during surgery and for using the manipulators to separate adhesions.

606170, 606190, 600204, 600207, 604 9601, 604 9701, 604103, 604104
Abstract:
Apparatus for creating an anatomic space in tissue in a body including an introducer device having a tubular member with a bore extending therethrough. A tunneling shaft assembly is slidably mounted in the bore of the introducer device. The tunneling shaft assembly includes a tunneling shaft having proximal and distal extremities. A blunt tip is secured to the distal extremity of the tunneling shaft. A balloon assembly is provided. The balloon assembly is removably secured to the tunneling shaft. The balloon assembly includes a deflated collapsed balloon. A sheath encloses the balloon and is carried by the tunneling shaft. The sheath has a weakened region extending longitudinally thereof permitting the sheath to be removed to release the balloon.
US Patent:
6656173, Dec 2, 2003
Filed:
Apr 30, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/845774
Inventors:
Thomas Palermo - San Jose CA
Assignee:
Radio Therapeutics Corporation - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
A61B 1804
US Classification:
606 32, 606 51
Abstract:
Body lumens such as blood vessels are selectively occluded by applying radiofrequency voltage to a vaso-occlusive coil ( ) at the target site (TS) and generating a thermal reaction to induce fibrogenic occlusion of the blood vessel (BV) around the vaso-occlusive coil. The radiofrequency current is usually sufficient to induce thermal damage to the luminal wall and to coagulate the surrounding blood, thereby initiating clotting and subsequent fibrosis to permanently occlude the lumen. The invention also includes a method for endoluminally deploying the vaso-occlusive coil and preventing migration of the coil from of the target site.

Assignee:
Integrated Vascular Systems, Inc. - Redwood City CA
International Classification:
A61B 17/08
US Classification:
606213
Abstract:
An apparatus for delivering a closure element into an opening formed in a blood vessel or other body lumen and methods for manufacturing and using same. The apparatus is configured to retain the closure element such that the closure element is disposed substantially within the apparatus. The apparatus also can engage, and position the closure element substantially adjacent to, the blood vessel wall adjacent to the opening. During deployment of the closure element, the apparatus expands the closure element beyond a natural cross-section of the closure element such that the closure element, when deployed, is configured to engage a significant amount of the blood vessel wall and/or tissue. Engaging the blood vessel wall and/or tissue, the closure element is further configured to return to the natural cross-section, thereby drawing the engaged blood vessel wall and/or tissue substantially closed and/or sealed, such that hemostasis within the opening is enhanced.

Assignee:
Ensure Medical, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
A61B 17/08
US Classification:
606213
Abstract:
A device which is capable of both locating a punctured blood vessel wall and sealing the puncture in the vessel and a method of using the device. In one embodiment, the device includes an elongate deployment member having a releasable sealing element disposed within a distal end and an elongated indicator member having a proximal end and a distal end. The deployment member is coupled to a first actuator configured to retract the deployment member relative to the sealing element. The indicator member extends through a lumen in the deployment member such that the distal end of said the indicator member extends distally of the distal end of the deployment member. The indicator member is also coupled to a second actuator configured to retract the indicator member relative to the deployment member.
