A vascular cannula assembly has a cannula, a tube dilator, a supporting helix and an inflatable cuff. The cannula has a distal end, a proximal end, a passage and a drainage segment. The drainage segment has multiple draining apertures communicating with the passage. A valve mounted on the distal end of the cannula can prevent air from entering the cannula. The tube dilator is selectively mounted in the passage and has a leading end and a handling end respectively protruding from the distal end and proximal end of the cannula. The supporting helix is mounted in the passage against the cannula. The inflatable cuff is mounted around the cannula between the distal end and the drainage segment. The side tubing is connected to the inflatable cuff. Since the inflatable cuff can be inflated to occlude blood draining from vena cava, use of the vascular cannula assembly can prevent injuries by snaring or looping of vessels during surgical procedures for cardiopulmonary bypass.

An occluder for occluding a passage in a body, especially in a left atrial appendage (LAA), comprises elongate members having a first end and a second end, the ends being held in or attached to holders, wherein the elongate members extend independently from each other between the holders and wherein the elongate members are collectively enveloped by at least one jacket. The jacket restricts a bending motion of the elongate members when their first ends are approximated to their second ends by moving the two holders relatively to each other. The occluder uses an expanding structure which can be easily handled whereby the movement of the elongate members is restricted by at the jackets which envelop the elongate members. At least the elongate members can be made of bioresorbable material.

A slide assist mechanism includes a case attached to one of a main body or a moving body; a slider disposed freely slidably in the case; a latch supported by the slider so as to be switched between a standby position which locks in a corresponding portion of the case and a draw-in position which releases the locking; a draw-in unit including an urging device; and an operation member attached to the another of the main body or the moving body and switching the latch from the standby position to the draw-in position, or switching the latch from the draw-in position to the standby position. When the latch is switched from the standby position to the draw-in position, due to an urging force which has been accumulated in the urging device, the slide assist mechanism allows the moving body to move from a first position to a second position on a main body side through the operation member. In the slider, the urging device is disposed on a lower surface side, and also one end in a sliding direction includes an attachment device for the urging device.
