Active Instrument Port System For Minimally-Invasive Surgical Procedures

View page
US Patent:
20110230723, Sep 22, 2011
Filed:
Dec 29, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/649307
Inventors:
Salvatore Castro - Raleigh NC, US
Carson Shellenberger - Raleigh NC, US
Robert E. Welt - Wake Forest NC, US
Daniel W. Fifer - Windsor CA, US
International Classification:
A61B 1/32
US Classification:
600205
Abstract:
An access system for surgical procedures includes an insertion tube having a distal end and a lumen, a pair of instrument delivery tubes extending through the lumen of the insertion tube, each instrument delivery tube having a fixed longitudinal position relative to the insertion tube and a steerable distal portion positioned distal to the distal end of the insertion tube. Proximal actuators are moveable to steer the distal portions of the instrument delivery tubes through manipulation of the handles of instruments extending through those tubes. First and second rigid tubes are mounted within the lumen, at least one of which has a distal end disposed within the lumen.

Deflectable Instrument Shafts

View page
US Patent:
20110251599, Oct 13, 2011
Filed:
Jul 29, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/846804
Inventors:
Carson Shellenberger - Raleigh NC, US
Brett M. Page - Chapel Hill NC, US
Nicholas J. Bender - Raleigh NC, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/00
US Classification:
606 1
Abstract:
Deflectable instrument shafts are formed of alternating segments, each of which has a first end or face contacting an adjacent segment along a first plane, and a second end or face contacting an adjacent segment along a second plane that is transverse to the first plane. In some embodiments, the alternating segments are first and second segments having differently shaped contacting ends/faces. In other embodiment the alternating segments are identical to one another but are positioned such that segments having their first contacting end/face facing distally are alternated with segments having their second contacting ends/faces facing distally.

Locking Mechanism For Deflectable Instrument Shafts And Method Of Use

View page
US Patent:
20120265214, Oct 18, 2012
Filed:
Mar 12, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/418340
Inventors:
Nicholas J. Bender - Raleigh NC, US
Carson Shellenberger - Raleigh NC, US
International Classification:
A61B 19/00
US Classification:
606130
Abstract:
An instrument having a deflectable section on an instrument shaft utilizes an actuator having first and second actuator sections moveable relative to one another to actuate a system of actuation elements such as pull cables. An actuator lock is operable to selectively fix the relative positions of the first and second actuator sections, thus setting the position of the instrument shaft's deflectable section.

Segmented Instrument Shaft With Antirotation Features

View page
US Patent:
20130281924, Oct 24, 2013
Filed:
Oct 12, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/651278
Inventors:
Carson Shellenberger - Raleigh NC, US
International Classification:
A61M 25/01
US Classification:
604 9501
Abstract:
Deflectable instrument shafts are formed of a plurality of vertebral segments. One embodiment utilizes alternating segments, each of which has a first end or face contacting an adjacent segment along a first plane, and a second end or face contacting an adjacent segment along a second plane that is transverse to the first plane. In some embodiments, the alternating segments are first and second segments having differently shaped contacting ends/faces. In other embodiment the alternating segments are identical to one another but are positioned such that segments having their first contacting end/face facing distally are alternated with segments having their second contacting ends/faces facing distally. In other embodiments, embodiments having semi-spherical articulating surfaces are used.

Devices And Methods For Treatment Of Luminal Tissue

View page
US Patent:
8192426, Jun 5, 2012
Filed:
Dec 18, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/959310
Inventors:
Roger A. Stern - Cupertino CA, US
Jerome Jackson - Los Altos CA, US
Vincent N. Sullivan - San Jose CA, US
George H. Smith - Palo Alto CA, US
Roy D. Corbitt - Santa Clara CA, US
Jennifer A. Hodor - Sunnyvale CA, US
Carson J. Shellenberger - Larkspur CO, US
Assignee:
TYCO Healthcare Group LP - Mansfield MA
International Classification:
A61B 18/14
US Classification:
606 41, 606 49, 607133
Abstract:
Devices and methods are provided for treatment of tissue in a body lumen with an electrode deployment device. Embodiments typically include a device with a plurality of electrodes having a pre-selected electrode density arranged on the surface of a support. The support may comprise a non-distensible electrode backing that is spirally furled about an axis and coupled to an expansion member such as an inflatable elastic balloon. In some embodiments, the balloon is inflated to selectively expose a portion of the electrode surface while maintaining the electrode density.

Clip Applier Having Stabilizing Member

View page
US Patent:
20220211379, Jul 7, 2022
Filed:
Mar 4, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/686909
Inventors:
- Morrisville NC, US
Carson J. SHELLENBERGER - Cary NC, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/10
A61B 17/08
A61B 17/128
Abstract:
A clip applier may be configured to apply a surgical clip to tissue. The clip applier may include a first jaw member configured to engage a distal portion of a first leg member of the surgical clip, and a second jaw member configured to engage a distal portion of a second leg member of the surgical clip. The clip applier may further include a stabilizing member on the first jaw member. The stabilizing member may have a cavity configured to receive a proximal portion of the surgical clip and to reduce lateral movement of the surgical clip. The clip applier may not proximally abut the surgical clip when the first and second jaw members are in an open configuration. The second jaw member may also have a longitudinal channel configured to receive the stabilizing member when the first and second jaw members are in a closed configuration.

Clip Applier And Cartridge

US Patent:
20210128159, May 6, 2021
Filed:
Jan 15, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/149958
Inventors:
- Morrisville NC, US
Carson J. SHELLENBERGER - Cary NC, US
Lynn WILLETT - Pittsboro NC, US
Paul E. WHITING - Wake Forest NC, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/128

Abstract:
A clip applier may be configured to releasably secure a surgical clip contained in a cavity of a cartridge and having first and second leg members. The clip applier may include first and second jaw members. The first jaw member may include a first clip engagement portion configured to engage the first leg member, and a first cartridge engagement portion including at least one first flange extending laterally of the first clip engagement portion. The second jaw member may include a second clip engagement portion configured to engage the second leg member, and a second cartridge engagement portion including at least one second flange extending laterally of the second engagement portion. The first and second flange(s) may be configured to abut side surfaces of the cartridge to align the first and second jaw members with the first and second leg members.

Latching Wire Clip

View page
US Patent:
20200352574, Nov 12, 2020
Filed:
Oct 29, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/760252
Inventors:
- Morrisville NC, US
Carson J. SHELLENBERGER - Cary NC, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/122
Abstract:
A surgical clip may include a wire body having first and second free end portions. The surgical clip may also include first and second leg members connected by a hinge portion. The first leg member may include first and second segments of the wire body, the first segment may be spaced from the second segment, and the first and second free end portions may be disposed on a distal end portion of the first leg member. The second leg member may include third and fourth segments of the wire body, the third segment being spaced from the fourth segment. The hinge portion may join proximal end portions of the first and second leg members. The surgical clip may be movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration, wherein the second leg member is received between the first and second free end portions on the first leg member, and the first and second leg members pivot about the hinge portion to move the surgical clip between the open configuration and the closed configuration.
