A capsulotomy cutting device includes a planar cutting head sized to fit into intraocular tissue. The planar cutting head includes at least one sharp edge and an oscillation mechanism adapted to oscillate the cutting head. Capsulotomy is achieved by inserting the planar cutting head through an incision in the eyeball, placing the cutting edge of the cutting head against the tissue of the lens capsule therein, and then oscillating the cutting head by an oscillation mechanism coupled to the cutting head.

Capsulotomy instrument

An anastomotic connector for connecting a graft to a target vessel, comprising a thin collar section () adapted to engage a portion of the graft; and a separate spike section () adapted to mount on said collar section, and comprising a plurality of spikes () each of said spikes () adapted to transfix said graft. Preferably, the connector comprises at least one locking element for interlocking said spike section (), and said collar section (). Preferably the locking element provides a spring action between the two sections.

Vascular surgery

This invention is a device () for sealing a hole in a blood vessel, comprising a ring (); a plurality of spikes () extending from said ring towards a center of said ring, and to first direction along an axis of said ring, said spikes being adapted for engaging a blood vessel; a plurality of tabs () extending substantially radially from said ring, wherein rotating said tabs around said ring distorts said ring such that said spikes are rotated in a same direction as said tabs.

Vascular closure device

An anastomosis connector comprises a plurality of ring segments (), together defining a radially expandable ring-like shape () having a lumen; at least one pivot bar () coupled to at least one of said ring segments (); at least one spike () mounted on said pivot bar () and rotatable around said pivot bar (), wherein radial deformation of said ring-like shape () does not substantially directly affect said spike () rotational position.

Low profile anastomosis connector

This invention is a hole closure device ( ) having at least two blood vessel engaging structures ( ), preferably spikes, each comprising a base ( ), at least one second, deformable structure ( ) coupled to said at least two blood vessel engaging structures ( ), having a first deformation state, and a second deformation state; wherein said at least one second deformable structures ( ) urges said two blood vessel engaging structures ( ) towards each other when going from said deformation state to said second deformation state; wherein said change in deformation state is at least partially mechanically decoupled from each of said blood vessel engaging structures ( ).
