A system, including a needle guide defining a path of travel of a needle inserted through the guide, and a tissue manipulator configured to approximate tissue and said needle guide and to position at least a portion of the tissue in the path of travel of the needle, and wherein the tissue manipulator and the needle guide are alignable such that the path of travel crosses a same surface of the tissue a plurality of times.

Tissue surface piercing system and methods

The present technology is directed to systems, methods, and devices for anchoring suture devices into a target patient tissue to treat a medical condition. For example, in some embodiments the present technology includes a tissue-support system including an applicator device and a suture device. The applicator device is configured to deploy and anchor the suture device in a target tissue. In some embodiments, the suture device is deployed such that an anchor of the suture device is positioned external to the tissue it is anchored to.

Suture-based assembly for tissue repair, and associated devices and methods

An apparatus and method for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. The apparatus includes a suburethral sling having an adjustment member for adjusting the tension of the sling both during the procedure and post-procedure. The method includes using a needle to simultaneously implant the sling and to deliver a local anesthetic in the groin area while implanting the sling.

Apparatus and method for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence

A system for incisionless transvaginal sacrospinous ligament fixation, the system including an anchoring unit configured to affix a vaginal wall to a sacrospinous ligament; and a piercing tip configured to: pierce said vaginal wall, pierce said sacrospinous ligament, and deploy a first portion of said anchoring unit though said pierced vaginal wall and said pierced sacrospinous ligament, thereby disposing said first portion at said sacrospinous ligament.

Anchor delivery system and method

Provided herein is a two-part coupling assembly for re-connecting a first hollow body part to a second body part and an instrument and method for emplacement. The coupling assembly comprises coupling parts having securement elements that are actuated by separate deployment mechanisms of the instrument and attach to the first and second body parts. The first and second coupling parts having interconnecting elements that couple the two-part assembly together and re-connect the first and second body parts.

Urethral anastomosis device and method

An optical scanner, scanner apparatus, or scanner assembly, which may be particularly advantageous for use in a multiphoton microscope, includes a first drivable bending component, a second drivable bending component mounted perpendicularly to the first component, and at least one optical waveguide coupled one or both of the first and second bending components, wherein the at least one optical waveguide provides both a propagation path for a multiphoton excitation radiation delivery between a light source and a target and a multiphoton-induced emission radiation delivery between the target and a detector. A GRIN relay lens. A multiphoton microscope incorporating the scanner and the GRIN relay lens.

Multi-path, multi-magnification, non-confocal fluorescence emission endoscopy apparatus and methods

An apparatus houses a plurality of surgical elements, such as needles and sutures, both before and after use. The largest cross-sectional dimension of the housing is preferably less than about 12 mm. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a substantially rigid housing having a first section that holds a plurality of unused needles and a second section that receives the plurality of needles after use. In other embodiments, the apparatus includes a flexible panel having a plurality of pockets therein, wherein each pocket is configured to house a single needle.
