Abstract:

A needle holding device includes a handle, a pivot point and two opposing jaws opposite the handle and pivotable about the pivot point. The jaws have inner opposing surfaces and at least one inner opposing surface has at least one needle groove formed therein for receiving and gripping a needle. At least one of the opposing surfaces has a knurled or rugged platform for securely gripping at least one needle. The needle holding device may have a plurality of substantially parallel or non-parallel needle grooves formed therein for simultaneously receiving and gripping a plurality of needles. Additionally, the plurality of non-parallel needle grooves preferably includes an innermost needle groove disposed nearest to the pivot point and an outermost needle groove disposed furthest from the pivot point, wherein the plurality of needle grooves successively increase in depth from the outermost needle groove to the innermost needle groove so that a plurality of needles can be simultaneously held regardless of needle size or position within the holder.

International Classification:

A61F 1300

US Classification:

128842

Abstract:

A percutaneous vasectomy method is disclosed which involves closing the vas deferens of a male patient without incising the patient's scrotum. The method comprises the steps of inserting a sharp-tipped needle having a first predetermined diameter into the scrotum of the male patient and through a wall of the vas deferens, the insertion forming a passageway from the surface of the scrotum to the interior of the vas deferens; removing the sharp-tipped needle from the vas deferens and the scrotum; inserting a blunt-tipped needle having a second predetermined diameter, less than the first predetermined diameter, through the passageway and into the interior of the vas deferens; activating a cauterizing element which includes the blunt-tipped needle for a selected period of time to cauterize and thereby close the vas deferens to sterilize the male patient; and removing the blunt-tipped needle from the vas deferens and scrotum.

Abstract:

A method for autotransplantation, is provided including the steps of (a) obtaining a piece of tissue from one part of a body, (b) preserving the tissue by contacting it with a tissue preserving medium, without tissue culturing occurring, and (c) grafting the tissue in another part of the body. The method is especially advantageous for the repair of hypospadias using buccal mucosa tissue. The tissue preserving medium preferably is a solution of (a) 80-120 mM NaCl, (b) 3-6 mM KCl, (c) 0. 1-0. 3 mM MgSO. sub. 4. 7H. sub. 2 O, (d) 1-3 mM CaCl. sub. 2. 2H. sub. 2 O, (e) 0. 2-0. 6 mM NaH. sub. 2 PO. sub. 4, (f) 1. 5-4 mM glucose, (g) 15-25 mM Na lactate, (h) 0. 2-0. 6 mM Na pyruvate, (i) 0. 01-0. 05 mM phenol red, (j) 0. 1-0. 4 mM L-glutamine, (k) 2-35 mM sodium bicarbonate, (l) 125-200 units/ml penicillin-G, (m) 40-60. mu.

International Classification:

A61B 1704

US Classification:

606224

Abstract:

The invention is directed to a microsurgical needle for use in microsurgical techniques. The distal segment of the needle is straight with a circular cross section, and has a sharpened tip with a triangular cross section having three sharp edges for cutting rather than tearing tissue during penetration. The middle segment of the needle has an acutely angled arched shape, and a transitional cross section which transitions between a squared cross section of the main shaft segment and the circular cross section of the straight distal segment. The main shaft segment of the needle has a generally squared cross section, and forms a broadly curved or arched shaft segment which may be easily gripped by a needle holder. The proximal end of the needle forms a suture attachment segment, and may be circular in cross section. The shape of the needle provides an easy angle, better stability, superior tissue alignment, and better control than conventional.

US Classification:

Abstract:

A bicycle saddle including a contoured upper seating surface that primarily supports the rider's ischeal tuberosities and further including a depressed, extremely soft central anterior portion to reduce pressure placed on the perineum is disclosed. The saddle is essentially constructed from a shell, foam padding, a self-contained gelatin pack, a leather cover, and a suspension rail for mounting the saddle onto a bicycle. The seating surface of the saddle includes laterally spaced apart right and left cup-shaped posterior support surfaces for supporting primarily the right and left ischeal tuberosities in the buttocks of the bicycle rider. The right and left posterior support surfaces are formed by a pair of essentially concave depressions in the posterior portion of the shell of the saddle, and corresponding cup-shaped depressions in the foam padding covering the shell. The bicycle saddle further includes a gelatin pack in the center of the anterior portion of the saddle to provide an extraordinarily soft seating surface in the area where the rider's perineum normally rests.
