An apparatus includes an elongate body and an end effector coupled to a distal end the elongate body. The end effector includes a first end effector element configured to hold a first coupler element, a second end effector element configured to hold a second coupler element of the, and first and second end effector elements coupling first and second end effector elements to the elongate body. The end effector is configured to move between a first configuration in which the first and second end effector elements are located in a first position in which axial end of first vessel is coupled to first coupler element, a second position in which axial end of second vessel is coupled to second coupler element, and a third configuration in which first and second end effectors close to coupler the coupler elements and anastomose the first and second vessel.

Laparoscopic anastomosis devices and methods of use thereof

An occlusive device can include a segment including an open end and a proximal end. The occlusive device can include a push wire that is positioned proximal of the proximal end. The occlusive device can include a detachment feature that is attached to the push wire via a detachment groove. The occlusive device can include a sleeve surrounding the push wire. In a non-deployed configuration, the sleeve can surround the detachment feature and prevent release of the proximal end of the segment from the push wire. In a deployed configuration, the proximal end can be flush with a proximal end of the spherical cavity.

Braided implant with detachment mechanism

A surgical instrument assembly configured to display a representation of the surgical instrument relative to a trajectory (e.g., a desired trajectory for drilling into an implant) based image data from an image sensor (e.g., a camera). For example, the surgical instrument assembly may be configured to determine a desired trajectory (e.g., a central axis of a distal hole of an intramedullary nail) based on X-ray image data representing at least one fiducial marker (e.g., an array of ArUco markers) and representing an anatomical structure and/or an implant. The surgical instrument assembly may in real time display a representation of the orientation and/or position of the surgical instrument (e.g., the orientation and position of a drill bit of the surgical instrument) in relation to the desired trajectory based on image sensor data that is generated based on an orientation of the at least one fiducial marker detected by an image sensor.

X-wing enhanced guidance system for distal targeting

A method for navigating a probe to a location within a body of a patient, the method comprising visualizing a three-dimensional image of a region of a body of a patient; receiving a selection of a target location within said three-dimensional image of a region of a patient's body; determining and visualizing a preferred pathway for the probe to follow from an external entry point on the patient's body to the target location; visualizing the preferred pathway for the probe simultaneously with an indication of the current actual position of the probe in real time such that the simultaneous visualizations enables a user to align the current actual position of the probe with the preferred pathway; and updating and visualizing an indication of the current actual position of the probe in real time as the probe is advanced to the target location.
