Expandable arms and a vibrating string dissect tissue without sharp blades, reducing injury risk near sensitive structures.
An ultrasonic dissector uses a vibrating wire loop to dissect embedded vena cava filters from vessel walls, minimizing pulling force and tissue trauma.
Resilient members bias clamp pads into slots, preventing accidental detachment while allowing pressure-based removal for cleaning.
A hygroscopically expanding endoscope excluder displaces organs through moisture absorption.
Composite ultrasonic end effectors combine ceramic cores with metal alloys to extend propagation wavelength without increasing audible sound intensity.
Dual sharpness arms on a rotating vascular device remove occlusions while minimizing vessel wall damage.
A rotary catheter drive seal-set uses a bearing to align a flexible shaft within concentric bores for accurate support and hydraulic sealing.
