International Classification:

A61B 17/11

US Classification:

606153, 606142

Abstract:

An integrated anastomosis tool may include an effector that both makes an opening in the wall of a target vessel and connects a graft vessel to the target vessel. The connection between the graft vessel and the target vessel may be compliant, and may be achieved by deploying a plurality of connectors such as staples into tissue. The effector may include a cutter assembly and a connection module that are independently actuatable. The cutter assembly and/or the connection module may be cable-actuated.

International Classification:

G03B 21/00

US Classification:

353121000, 353119000

Abstract:

A method of manufacture of a display which creates a single axis assembly process where all components and subassemblies are added to a single part—the back bucket. The bucket is placed on an assembly line first and all other components are added to a receiving side, top down. This back bucket provides connection and alignment details for the remaining parts of the assembly, including internal electronics.
