A tissue clipping apparatus, comprises a flexible, elongate member, a proximal end of which remains external to the body accessible to a user while a distal end of the flexible member is inserted into the body to a location adjacent to target tissue to be clipped and a control wire extending through the flexible member in combination with a capsule releasably coupled to a distal end of the flexible member and a clip a proximal portion of which is received within the capsule. A joint releasably coupling the clip to the control wire, includes a yoke extending around a proximal end of the clip and a frangible link which fails when subject to a predetermined force to separate the clip from the control wire.

Hemostatic clipping devices and methods

The present disclosure relates to devices, systems and methods for endoscopic suturing or stitching through an access tube or the like. An endoscopic stitching device is provided and includes a handle assembly; an elongate shaft supported by and extending from the handle assembly; and an end effector supported on a distal end of the elongate shaft. The end effector includes a neck assembly configured and adapted for articulation in one direction between a substantially linear configuration and an off-axis configuration, and a pair of juxtaposed jaws pivotally associated with one another. Each jaw defines a suture needle receiving recess formed in a tissue contacting surface thereof.

Endoscopic stitching devices

A connection device attached to one structure includes structures having adjacent slots that are alligned to receive and permit placement of an elongated member, and are subsequently relatively movable to retain the elongated member to restrict or occlude the adjacent slot opening restricting removal, and further provides a sheer force between the structures each having the slot to receive the elongated member, to engage and secure the outer surface of a tubular member received into an aperture common through 2 adjacent members, each member aperture having an axis parallel to and offset from the other, wherein rotation of one of the 2 members causes the surface of the offset aperture and the surface of the non-offset aperture to apply a shear force and/or friction to engage and retain the tubular member. Access to the aperture is provided by slot extending from the aperture to the member periphery.

Fixturing device for medical instruments

A specimen retrieval device is provided. The specimen retrieval device includes a housing including an outer shaft extending distally therefrom. An inner shaft is disposed within the outer shaft and includes at least one tissue engaging device configured to engage tissue and at least one spring. A pouch is coupled to the inner shaft and the at least one spring. The pouch includes an open proximal end and a closed distal end and is movable from a first configuration for deployment from the outer shaft to a second configuration for receiving tissue therein. The at least one tissue engaging device is positionable within the pouch and movable along the inner shaft for engaging tissue and pulling the tissue within the pouch.

Specimen retrieval device including an integrated sliding grasper

A removal pouch that is utilized for removing body tissue from the interior of the body as part of a minimally invasive surgical procedure. The specimen removal pouch includes an elongated body and a gas vent. The elongated body has an interior portion to collect specimen from a body cavity of a patient. The gas vent is configured to allow passage of gas from the interior portion of the elongated body to an external environment during removal of the pouch from within the body cavity of a patient.

Specimen removal device with gas venting

A specimen retrieval device includes an applicator. A specimen retrieval pouch is operably disposed within the applicator and deployable therefrom. The specimen retrieval pouch defines a longitudinal axis therethrough and includes a closed bottom portion and an open upper portion. The closed bottom portion includes a plurality of spikes configured to grasp a specimen positioned within the confines closed bottom portion. The upper closed portion includes one or more axial folds that are movable from a folded configuration to an unfolded configuration when a predetermined force is applied to a portion of the specimen retrieval pouch.

Specimen retrieval device

A modular sun-shading system comprised of a plurality of latticed shading panels together with supporting rails and orthogonal brackets to provide substantially perpendicular mounting to a building structure outer wall above a window opening, providing a reduced heat load and reduced cooling expenses of a building by shading a building window opening and interior, while having latticed shading panels that allow for snow and rain to pass through and also having reduced wind dynamic drag.
