Dual Closing Guide For A Surgical Instrument
Dual Closing Guide For A Surgical Instrument
US Patent:
8147512, Apr 3, 2012
Filed:
Jun 6, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/134842
Inventors:
John Puskas - Atlanta GA, US
Gaylord Kube - Oakdale MN, US
Gaylord Kube - Oakdale MN, US
Assignee:
Scanlan International, Inc. - St. Paul MN
Emory University - Atlanta GA
Emory University - Atlanta GA
International Classification:
A61B 17/50
US Classification:
606210
Abstract:
A hand-operated surgical instrument with sequentially engaged tip closing guides. The instrument includes first and second arms having tips that close during a closure operation. A slotted tip closure guide on the arms engages first during the closure operation. A pin closure guide on the arms between the slotted closure guide and the tips engages during the closure operation after the engagement of the slotted closure guide. The sequential engagement of the guides provides precise approximation of the instrument tips and prevents “scissoring” of the tips.

Sternal Retractor
Sternal Retractor
US Patent:
2013023, Sep 12, 2013
Filed:
Mar 5, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/786370
Inventors:
John D. Puskas - Atlanta GA, US
Assignee:
INNOVATIVE CARDIAC TECHNOLOGIES - Atlanta GA
International Classification:
A61B 17/02
US Classification:
600232
Abstract:
Devices and methods for sternal retraction that reduces bleeding from the cut edges of a sternum and reduces fracturing of the sternum during retraction. The devices and methods involve the use of sternal refractor blades having a certain geometry and inserts placed inside the sternal retractor blades during retraction of the sternotomy incision. The blades and inserts act to tamponade the blood flow from the cut sternal edge and reduce fracturing of the sternum during retraction.
