A controller () for manually controlling a guidewire () includes a housing () including a passage () for receiving the guidewire. A gripper () is actuatable to grasp the guidewire () in the passage (). A cap () is connected to the housing (). The cap () is rotatable relative to the housing () to actuate the gripper (). The housing () includes an element () for maintaining the cap () in a receiving position. The cap () when in the receiving position places the controller () in a condition for receiving the guidewire ().

Guidewire control device

A staple clip for providing an attachment function in a surgical procedure is described. A center hub has a center hub aperture. The center hub defines a lateral hub plane. A plurality of joining legs each has an inner leg end attached to the center hub and an outer foot defining a lateral foot plane. The inner leg end and outer foot are separated along the leg by an elongate leg body extending laterally outward and longitudinally downward from the center hub. A plurality of lobe pads are attached to the center hub and lie substantially within the lateral hub plane. The inner leg ends and lobe pads alternate with each other around a periphery of the center hub.

Endovascular staple clip and stapler

One aspect of the present disclosure relates to an embolic filter device configured for placement in a blood vessel to capture emboli during a medical procedure. The embolic filter device can include an expandable frame member and a membrane. The expandable frame member can include a radial support member operably connected to first and second longitudinal struts, and an engaging portion extending between the first and second longitudinal struts. The engaging portion can be shaped and configured to temporarily receive, and sealingly mate with, a portion of an endovascular catheter during the medical procedure. The membrane can be securely connected to the frame member and define a collection chamber for captured emboli. The membrane can be configured to cover substantially all of the cross-sectional area of the blood vessel when the embolic filter device is deployed in the blood vessel.

Embolic filter devices, systems, and methods for capturing emboli during medical procedures

A lacrimal drainage manometer includes a syringe having a syringe body and a piston. The syringe body defines a fluid cavity in fluid communication with a cannula configured for insertion into at least a portion of a lacrimal drainage system. The piston dispenses a fluid from the fluid cavity through the cannula. A pressure sensor is operably coupled to the syringe for measuring fluid pressure in the fluid cavity. A position sensor operably coupled to the syringe measures the position of the piston relative to the syringe body. A user feedback unit in electrical communication with the pressure sensor and the position sensor provides user feedback based on data from at least one of the pressure sensor and the position sensor indicative of a condition of the lacrimal drainage system.

Lacrimal drainage manometer and method of use

A vascular guidewire system includes a tubular member which at least partially encloses a core wire. A first or distal gripper is connected with a handle to grip a proximal end portion of the tubular member. A second or proximal gripper is disposed in the handle and grips a proximal end portion of the core wire. A first or distal motor is disposed in the handle and is operable to rotate the core wire relative to the outer tubular member. A second or proximal motor is disposed in the handle and is operable to move the first or distal motor longitudinally relative to the handle to thereby move the core wire longitudinally relative to the outer tubular member. The second or proximal motor is disposed in a coaxial relationship with the first or distal motor. Rotational and/or longitudinally directed forces may be manually applied to the handle to move the tubular member and core wire relative to a patient's body.
