The present invention relates to a medical suction tip for aspirating and discharging body fluids and cleaning fluids exuded during surgery on living tissue. [Solution] The present invention provides a medical suction tip with a suction part and a connecting part, which has a groove at the tip to prevent clogging and a side hole near the end. When the suction tip is connected to one end of a flexible suction tube and the other end is connected to a medical suction device and driven under negative pressure, the suction tip has excellent fixation to the biological tissue at the surgical site, eliminating the need to switch the surgical device to the suction tube during surgery.

The present disclosure relates generally to a device and method for aiding in the repair of a dural tear. According to example embodiments, the device is placed substantially within a dural sac interior to a dural tear. The device provides a shield that prevents the underlying nerve roots (including rootlets) of the spinal cord from intruding into the torn area and prevents them from being injured during the repair procedure. The device also redirects cerebrospinal fluid from the area, which aids the surgeon in viewing the procedure site during suturing and / or repair.

The utility model relates to the technical field of hand and foot surgery, and discloses a hand and foot surgery minimally invasive operating table which comprises a fixing plate, a base is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the fixing plate, a fixing column is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the base, and an operating table body is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing column. According to the minimally invasive surgery operating table, a doctor can observe a surgical site more clearly through the arrangement of the camera device, so that the accuracy and safety of a surgery are improved, due to the design of the minimally invasive surgery operating table, a surgical incision is smaller, surgical wounds are reduced, and a patient can recover more quickly; the operating table is provided with various auxiliary devices such as a drainage groove and a bandage, the limbs of a patient can be better fixed, dirty liquid generated in the operation process can be better collected, the surface of the operating table is kept relatively dry, the liquid is prevented from affecting the operation, and meanwhile cleaning work after the operation is facilitated.

Gas agitation systems, components, and methods are provided for use during minimally invasive procedures. A fluid mover generates an alternating bi-directional fluid flow to agitate the gas within the body cavity of a patient, dispersing surgical plume from the surgical site. The gas agitation system may optionally include a filter to capture at least part of the surgical plume. The fluid mover may be isolated from the gas to mitigate or avoid contamination of at least the fluid mover. The fluid mover may be a reciprocating positive displacement pump. In some examples, a double-acting fluid mover or two fluid movers may be provided to generate a pair of alternating bi- directional fluid flows. The pair of alternating bi-directional fluid flows may be provided in antiphase.

A handpiece for use in a surgical procedure such as a phacoemulsification including a housing with a proximal and a distal outer end. The handpiece includes at the distal outer end an aspiration opening for aspirating a surgery site, which aspiration opening is connected to an aspiration channel extending through the housing and which aspiration channel is configured to be connected to a suction force source such as a pump or underpressure system in order to generate a suction force in the aspiration opening. The handpiece includes an operating element, wherein in a first operative mode of the operating element there is suction force in the aspiration opening and in a second operative mode of the operating element there is no suction force in the aspiration opening.

Surgical tools that can be used in single port laparoscopic procedures can include a low-profile handle assembly to minimize tool interference adjacent the incision site. For example, a handle assembly for a surgical instrument can have a generally in-line configuration extending linearly along a central longitudinal axis of an elongate shaft of the instrument. A linkage mechanism including a trigger, an actuation link, and an actuation shaft can be positioned within the in-line handle. The linkage mechanism can be pivoted between an open position in which end effectors of the instrument are open and a toggle position in which the end effectors are locked closed. A locking mechanism such as a ratchet mechanism can also be used to lock the end effectors. A surgical dissector can include gripping jaws having a curved profile or an angled elongate shaft to minimize tool interference and maximize visibility within a procedure site.

A mixed reality endoscopic surgical procedure method, including the steps of selecting a three-dimensional holographic first image of a body part to be surgically operated on and displaying the three-dimensional holographic first image of the body part. The method can further include positioning an endoscope relative to the body part, wherein the endoscope further includes a guidewire, displaying a three-dimensional second holographic image or video of the endoscope or guidewire relative to the body part, and using the three-dimensional first holographic first image as a visual guide for engaging the body part via the guidewire.

The invention discloses an operation method of an automatic nail planting system. The operation method comprises the following steps: operating the nail implanting device to move to a position above a surgical incision; the nail implanting device is operated to move in the axial direction to enter the surgical incision, and the needle tip of the guide needle makes contact with a preset surgical site; driving the guide pin to advance through the motor assembly and rotating at a first rotating speed and a first torsion at the same time, so that the guide pin is drilled into the predetermined surgical site to form a guide hole; the power transmission assembly is driven by the motor assembly, the hollow vertebral arch nail is controlled to be locked into the guide hole at a second rotating speed and a second torsion, the second rotating speed is smaller than the first rotating speed, and the second torsion is larger than the first torsion; and releasing the connection between the power transmission assembly and the hollow vertebral arch nail, and operating the nail implanting device to retreat out of the surgical incision. According to the operation method of the automatic nail implanting system, the steps of drilling and nail locking are combined at the same time, the nail implanting operation procedure is simplified, and the efficiency and accuracy of the nail implanting operation are improved.
