In accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure, a tissue extraction device may include a bag having an interior and a plurality of cutting elements extending through the interior of the bag.

Tissue extraction devices and related methods

A medical device to protect a body opening, the medical device including a sleeve having a proximal end and a distal end a proximal ring attached to the proximal end of the sleeve, and a guard assembly located a distal end of the sleeve.

Medical access device having a guard assembly

A valve componentof the invention comprises a main valvewhich is located on a centre line and at least one auxiliary valvewhich is located radially outwardly of the main valve. The main valve may be used for sealing engagement with a cannula. In some cases the cannula may be used for introduction of a number of robotically controlled surgical instruments generally, including a camera. The auxiliary valvesmay be utilised to introduce another instrument through the valve component. The valve component is mounted in a manner which ensures that the valve componentis rotatable about a centre line through the axis of the valve component. This ensures that the valve componentcan be rotated relative to a cannula inserted through the main valveand consequently that the auxiliary valvesare rotatable relative to the cannula allowing the auxiliary valvesto be positioned to facilitate optimum access and manipulation for an auxiliary instrument(s) inserted through the auxiliary valve(s)

Access port device

An echogenic curette for carrying out a suction dilation and curettage allows the physician to view the curette and the pathology they want to remove, and use that to guide the procedure. The echogenic curette is visible using ultrasound imaging.

Curette and use thereof

A suture device comprises a needle () which is movable between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration and a drive for rotating the needle between the retracted and extended configurations. The drive comprises an axle () which is rotated by a rack () and pinion () system.

Device and system for hernia repair

Apparatus for placement in an incision or a natural body opening comprises a retractor having a sleeve () and a guard device comprising overlapping petals () depending from a mounting ring (). The guard device is movable by the retractor from an insertion configuration to a deployed configuration as the retractor sleeve is moved to the retracting configuration.

Guard device for a tissue containment system

A valve component () of the invention comprises a main valve () which is located on a centre line and at least one auxiliary valve () which is located radially outwardly of the main valve (). The main valve may be used for sealing engagement with a cannula. In some cases the cannula may be used for introduction of a number of robotically controlled surgical instruments generally, including a camera. The auxiliary valves () may be utilised to introduce another instrument through the valve component. The valve component is mounted in a manner which ensures that the valve component () is rotatable about a centre line through the axis of the valve component (). This ensures that the valve component () can be rotated relative to a cannula inserted through the main valve () and consequently that the auxiliary valves () are rotatable relative to the cannula allowing the auxiliary valves () to be positioned to facilitate optimum access and manipulation for an auxiliary instrument(s) inserted through the auxiliary valve(s) ().

A method for performing a laparoscopic procedure may include inserting a bag through an opening. The method may also include delivering tissue into the bag, sealing the bag, and inflating the bag to create an artificial pneumoperitoneum that extends the abdomen and provides additional working and viewing space. Further, the method may include carrying out a procedure on the tissue located in the inflated bag.

Pneumoperitoneum device

An instrument such as a tenaculum comprises a pair of jaws () which are pivotal from an open configuration in which the jaws () are splayed apart to a closed low profile delivery configuration. The jaws () each have tissue engagement features (). A protector loop () for each jaw which may be of a shape memory material such as Nitinol provides a safety protective distal tip which is distal of the tissue engaging features (). The atraumatic tip does not harm tissue and does not compromise the integrity of a bag which may be used as a containment device in a procedure such as a hysterectomy.

Tenaculum

In accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure, a tissue extraction device may include a bag having an interior and a plurality of cutting elements extending through the interior of the bag. The cutting elements can have a common end.

A surgical access sealing device comprises expansile chamberswhich define inflation spaces. An upper layerin one case comprises two chamberswhich are overlapped when uninflated. A lower layercomprises two chamberswhich are also overlapped, when uninflated. The region of overlap between the chambersof the first layer is offset from the region of overlap between the chambersof the second layer. The walls of the inflated chambers are movable for passage of an object such as a surgeon's arm/hand whilst maintaining a seal.

Access device

An instrument access device comprises first, second and third instrument seals for sealing around instruments extended through the device. The seals have respective connector sleeves. Each sleeve connects a base to one of the instrument seals. The device also comprises two insufflation/desufflation ports. Each of the ports comprises a connector extending from the base, a tube extending from the connector, a luer connector and a removable cap. The luer connector is used for connection to any suitable supply line for insufflation gas or for discharge if insufflation gas. In use, the insufflation/desufflation ports facilitate independent control of insufflation and desufflation as may be required during a surgical procedure. Access sleeve at the proximal end is cut-off, folded over the inner proximal ring and is held in place between the base and the inner proximal ring when the base is fitted. The proximal end of the sleeve that is generated when the sleeve is pulled upwardly to retract an incision is removed from the field of use.

Instrument access device

An artificial pneumoperitoneum bag device may include an inflatable bag having an opening at an end of the bag. The bag device may also include an indicator including at least one repeating pattern on a wall of the bag. The pattern may extend across at least one side of the bag.

Inflatable pneumoperitoneum device

A seal comprises a first sealing member and a second sealing member. The sealing members each have an accessway to facilitate access from one side of the sealing member to the other side of the sealing member. The accessways are offset to facilitate sealed access of an object through the sealing members.
