International Classification:

A61B 17/08

US Classification:

606151

Abstract:

A wound closure device for closing a surgical wound includes at least one compressive clip for applying pressure to a patient's tissue. The clip includes a first clamping arm, a second clamping arm, and a flexible pin maintained between the first and second clamping arms in a press-fit relationship. Each of the first and second clamping arms has a proximal first end, an opposing distal second end and a sidewall extending therebetween. The clip has a first position in which the proximal first ends of the first and second clamping arms partially engage or do not engage each other and a second position in which the proximal first ends of the first and second clamping arms pivotally engage each other. In the second position of the clip, a compressive force generated at the proximal first ends is transferred through the first and second clamping arms to the distal second ends.

US Classification:

606148

Abstract:

This disclosure relates to suture passer guides and related kits and methods. In certain aspects, a suture passer guide includes an elongate member and a suture positioning member that can be radially extended from a distal end region of the elongate member and rotated relative to the elongate member such that the suture positioning member can reposition a suture from a first side area of the elongate member to a second side area of the elongate member.

International Classification:

A61B 5/00
A61B 5/103
A61B 17/80
A61B 90/00

Abstract:

An implantable device includes a substrate and protective cover that cooperate to define an enclosed sensor volume. A sealed enclosure is provided within the sensor volume, with an electronic component assembly (ECA) being located within the sealed enclosure. A flexible circuit board assembly (FCBA) is electrically coupled with the ECA through a wall of the sealed enclosure. At least one transducer is provided on the FCBA in contact with the substrate, and the FCBA is held apart from the enclosure via a polymeric spacer provided therebetween. An inert polymer fill is provided within the sensor volume external to the enclosure.

Inventors:

Binh Bao Vu - Bristol PA, US

International Classification:

A63F 3/00
B65D 43/16
B65D 25/04

Abstract:

A carrier assembly for holding a game that is played with game elements on a game play field. The carrier assembly has a cylindrical case for holding the game elements needed to play the game. The cylindrical case defines at least one internal compartment sized to receive the various game elements therein. A flexible mat is provided that has a game play field printed on its surface. The flexible mat has a length that enables the flexible mat to wrap around the cylindrical case at least once. One end of the flexible mat can be selectively attached to the cylindrical case with connectors. This enables the flexible mat to be readily wound around the cylindrical case. Once wound, the game play field and game pieces are held in a compact assembly that is easily transported.

International Classification:

A61B 17/128
A61B 17/122

Abstract:

A surgical clip applicator includes a base housing having a body portion, a movable trigger, a cannula, and a clip application mechanism extending within and through at least a portion of a length of the cannula. The clip application mechanism includes a movable first linkage and a jaw rotatable about a pivot mount. A first actuation of the trigger causes the first linkage to be moved in a linear direction with respect to the body portion and the cannula and the jaw to be rotated in a first direction about the pivot mount, for placing the clip in an open position on the patient's tissue. A second actuation of the trigger causes the jaw to be rotated in second direction about the pivot mount, the second direction being opposite to the first direction, placing the clip in a closed position on the patient's tissue.
