This invention provides a novel surgical device well suited to use in laparoscopic or other (e. g. open surgical) procedures. In certain embodiments, the device comprises a surgical probe, including a handle comprising at least one channel passing through the handle; and at least one conduit passing through the handle, where wherein at least one effector element is inserted into or through the channel, which effector element effects one or more surgical functions; and where the conduit comprises a distal conduit port that directs gas out of the conduit to substantially remove debris and/or fluid from a surface disposed proximal to the effector and/or from the effector element.

An electro-nerve stimulator system includes a pulse generator for generating current pulses with a transcutaneous patch and percutaneous needle for delivering current pulses to selected stimulation sites. The stimulator is a small battery operated external device that allows adjustment of stimulation levels and interfaces, via a connector, to the trans-percutaneous cable. The transcutaneous electrode is attached to the skin distal from the desired stimulated nerve site. A percutaneous needle is inserted close to the internal nerve site. Stimulation current pulses are designed to flow between the transcutaneous electrode and the internal percutaneous needle. The field generated at the needle site causes the nerve to fire.

A retrieval catheter (10) for removing deleterious materials (S) from body lumens has an elongate catheter body (12) having a slack net (26) at its distal end (16). The slack net may be collapsed to facilitate introduction into the body lumen and opened in situ to permit capture and retrieval of the deleterious materials. A method for removing ureteral stones from the ureter is described.

Active and passive wound drainage systems and method are provided. A drainage device includes an input passage for receiving the fluid from a site on or within the patient's body, a container for holding the fluid, and a reversible valve disposed between the input passage and the container. The reversible valve in an original configuration provides unidirectional fluid flow from the input passage toward the container, and in a reversed configuration provides fluid flow from the container toward the input passage.

The invention relates generally to connecting tubes for medical use. A connector (1) having a conical hollow body (2) and a pierceable sealing diaphragm (10) is attached to a flexible tail portion (12) comprised of two co-operating adhesive-coated strips (24/26). The adhesive on inner surfaces (20) of the strips is protected by peel-away coverings (14) prior to use. In use, a medical tube (16) is introduced into the body through an end (6) and through the sealing diaphragm. The adhesive strips contact the tube to further secure it to the body. Another device, such as a second tube or a drainage bag, connects to the other end (4) of the body.

An electro-acupuncture system comprises a transmitter for emitting high frequency magnetic energy pulses and a receiver, sealed within an implantable "thumb-tack" shaped device, for receiving and converting such pulses into stimulating pulses of current. The device comprises a head having an exposed ring-electrode (anode) secured therein and a needle-like electrode (cathode) having a proximal end secured in the head and a distal end adapted to pierce body tissue. The latter electrode comprises a metallic tube secured in the head and a metallic wire inserted through the tube to position and fix an exposed tip of the wire at a preselected location and depth in the body tissue, in accordance with method steps taught herein.
