US Patent:

20180272116, Sep 27, 2018

Filed:

May 29, 2018

Appl. No.:

15/991979

Inventors:

- Irvine CA, US
Mark M. Dehdashtian - Irvine CA, US
Teodoro S. Jimenez - Irvine CA, US
Norma A. Garcia - Santa Ana CA, US

International Classification:

A61M 39/22
A61M 1/36
A61M 25/00

Abstract:

A bi-directional cannula for perfusing blood in two directions. The cannula has a distal opening in fluid communication with a cannula first lumen. The cannula has a secondary opening proximal of the distal opening, and may include a movable tubular extension selectively extendable from the cannula via the secondary opening. The tubular extension may be in fluid connection with the cannula first lumen and/or a cannula second lumen. The tubular extension may have distal and/or side openings, with the openings providing antegrade fluid perfusion. The cannula second lumen may be separate from the first lumen, so that perfusion can be selectively provided to just the cannula distal opening, just the secondary opening/tubular extension, or simultaneously to both the distal opening and secondary opening/tubular extension.

International Classification:

A61B 17/04

Abstract:

A device is described which has an instrument portion secured to a sleeve/cuff portion, where the sleeve/cuff portion is configured to receive a portion of user's finger therein and to radially compress onto the user's finger to hold the instrument portion thereon. The present invention is particularly well suited for use in minimally invasive surgical procedures. The present invention also teaches a method of forming a knot in suture material as well as other techniques for treating patients.
