Title: Instruments de dissection a ballonnet
Inventor: HERMANN GEORGE D
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 1998-09-02
Abstract: Cette invention concerne des dispositifs de dissection dotés de ballonnets comprenant des ballonnets allongés (16) et un élément pousseur (20) qui servent à créer un passage le long d'un vaisseau corporel allongé. Les dispositifs peuvent comprendre un ballonnet allongé (16) d'une longueur appropriée qui peut être réalisé dans un matériau élastique ou non élastique. Le ballonnet (16) peut être constitué d'une structure (18, 19) à double paroi et peut être pourvu d'une lumière centrale (17) pouvant recevoir une tige de guidage, un endoscope ou un autre instrument chirurgical. Le dispositif peut comprendre un tube (22) de support qui est fixé à la paroi interne du ballonnet (16) pour constituer un support en forme de colonne. Le tube (22) de support peut comporter une coiffe transparente (91) fixée à son extrémité distale. Un espace ouvert situé entre l'extrémité distale du tube de support et l'extrémité de la coiffe (91) permet d'accéder au tissu adjacent. La coiffe peut effectuer la dissection et/ou la rétraction au moyen de son extrémité émoussée pour dégager un espace ouvert afin de visualiser ou d'effectuer des interventions chirurgicales. Le tube (22) de support peut recevoir un endoscope ou un autre instrument chirurgical. L'utilisation de la tige de guidage ou de l'endoscope en tant qu'élément pousseur (20) permet de faire avancer l'appareil le long du vaisseau ciblé devant être séparé des tissus attachés. Une enveloppe (27) de ballonnet pouvant être réalisée dans un matériau élastique ou résilient entoure le ballonnet (16) et facilite la compression dudit ballonnet (16) après son dégonflage.

Abstract: Des terminaux mobiles sans fil comprennent un récepteur de radiofréquences (RF) de GPS, ainsi qu'un récepteur RF de radiotéléphone à grande largeur de bande présentant une largeur de bande au moins 50 % aussi large que la fréquence de la puce du signal RF de GPS. Les terminaux sans fil mobiles comprennent également une partie fréquence intermédiaire (FI) partagée répondant à la fois au récepteur RF GPS et au récepteur RF de radiotéléphone à grande largeur de bande. Un démodulateur tel qu'une unité de désétalement AMDC répond à la partie FI partagée. Ainsi, on peut obtenir un circuit commun excepté pour la récepteur RF GPS et le récepteur RF de radiotéléphone à grande largeur de bande séparés. Alors, on peut obtenir de faibles coûts de production et des fonctionnements à rendement élevé.

Abstract: A biopsy probe is provided for the collection of at least one soft tissue
sample from a surgical patient. The probe comprises a frame having distal and
proximal ends. The probe further comprises an elongated piercing element attached
to the distal end of the frame. The piercing element has a sharpened distal end for
piercing tissue, and a port located proximal to the sharpened distal end for receiving
a portion of tissue mass positioned adjacent to the port. The probe further includes
an elongated cutter having proximal and distal ends. The cutter is disposed
coaxially and slideably relative to the piercing element and has a cutting blade on
the distal end for cutting the portion of tissue protruding into the port of the piercing
element when the cutter slides distally past the port, thereby depositing the portion
of cut tissue within the cutter lumen of the cutter proximal to the cutting blade. In
one embodiment, the probe further includes a tissue remover disposed in the cutter
lumen of the cutter and having a structure on the distal end for obstructing the cutter
lumen so that a tissue sample protruding into the port and severed by the cutter is
prevented from moving proximally through the cutter lumen. In another
embodiment, the probe further comprises a distal frame seal, a proximal frame seal,
and a proximal cutter seal for substantially preventing the passage of fluids through
a first, a second, and a third radial space, respectively, within the probe. In a
