6 results about "Less invasive" patented technology

A retractor-camera kit for minimally invasive surgery is provided. The kit includes a retractor comprising at least a top blade and a first side blade connected to one another through a hinge, a handle connected to the retractor, and a camera connected to the retractor via a designated holder to provide visualization of a surgical site while avoiding the need for an additional incision for passing an imaging unit therethrough.

The present application realizes easier and less invasive sputum suction. A suction object guiding device (100) guides a suction object from a side of an upper respiratory tract of a living body, and has a suction object discharge port (101) capable of discharging the suction object, a patient side connection interface (103) capable of being connected to a patient side, an inhalation interface (104) capable of being connected to an inhalation device, and a switching valve that switches a connection source of the patient side connection interface to either one of the suction object discharge port and the inhalation interface. The suction object guiding device (100) further has a housing (102) having the suction object discharge port (101), the patient side connection interface (103), and the inhalation interface (104), and the switching valve is configured to be provided in the housing in a slidable manner and capable of switching the connection source of the patient side connection interface to either one of the suction object discharge port and the inhalation interface.

A medical material makes it possible to perform less invasive treatment of atrial septal defect and is unlikely to cause problems in the late post-treatment period. A medical material includes a substantially middle portion and two tubular portions (first tubular portion, second tubular portion) having a mesh structure formed of a bioabsorbable linear material and includes a proximal connecting part connected to a first end and a distal connecting part connected to a second end and threaded to a delivery cable. The proximal connecting part and the distal connecting part are configured to reversibly or irreversibly achieve a locked state and an unlocked state, the locked state being a state in which the proximal connecting part and the distal connecting part remain united, the unlocked state being a state in which the proximal connecting part and the distal connecting part do not remain united. When the distal connecting part is inserted into the proximal connecting part, the engaging portion of the distal connecting part engages with the engaged portion of the proximal connecting part to cause the medical material to transition from the unlocked state to the locked state.

Disclosed herein is an alternative method and device to traditional alveolar distraction osteogenesis, which typically necessitates bone destruction. This method employs a titanium rod with a screw head design connected to two peripheral protrusions. The lower protrusion anchors the device to the jawbone, while the upper protrusion supports a porous titanium plate beneath the periosteal tissue. By gradually rotating the screw head, the distance between the protrusions increases, promoting controlled, tension-free bone growth without necessitating bone destruction. This approach is advantageous where traditional methods are not feasible, such as bones affected by congenital defects, severe atrophy, or near-exposed nerve canals. The porous titanium plate acts as a scaffold, preventing periosteal tissue collapse and maintaining space for bone regeneration, while preserving the integrity of the periosteum. This innovation offers a more effective and less invasive solution for complex alveolar bone deficiencies.

The present disclosure provides various surgical instruments and delivery systems to properly implant spinous stabilization devices, such as for example, interspinous, interlaminar stabilization devices, in a less invasive manner than what is currently performed. The delivery system may be a tubular delivery system through which instruments and devices can pass. Methods for using these surgical instruments and delivery systems are also provided.
