Title: Endoscopic surgical instruments having rotatable end effectors
Inventor: BALES THOMAS O
IPC: A61B17/28
Filed: 1993-02-05
Granted: 1994-12-22
Abstract: Medical instruments are provided having end effectors (22,24) and end effector actuator apparatus which are rotatable relative to the end effectors. The instruments generally include a tube (20) which is typically coupled to the end effectors via a clevis (30) around which the end effectors pivot, a push rod (60) extending through the tube and coupled to the end effectors, an actuator apparatus engaging the tube and the push rod and imparting reciprocal axial motion to the push rod relative to the tube, and the end effectors. The actuator apparatus includes a sleeve (90), spring (103), handle (85), and lever arm (75). The sleeve is movable along the longitudinal axis of the tube against a biasing force of the spring, but is restrained from rotating about the tube. The sleeve has a locking element on its proximal end. The handle surrounds and rotatably engages the proximal end of the tube and has a locking element on its distal end which mates with the locking element of the sleeve and disengages therewith when the sleeve is advanced along the tube. Upon disengagement, the tube, push rod, and end effectors can be rotated. The lever arm pivotally engages the handle and is coupled to the push rod such that pivotal movement of the lever arm relative to the handle effects movement of the push rod relative to the tube and pivotal movement of the end effectors. To decouple rotation of the push rod from the lever arm, a generally spherical push rod engaging element (190) is provided in a generally cylindrical bore (200) of the lever arm. <IMAGE>

Granted: 1999-05-06
Abstract: A controlled release pharmaceutical formulation comprises nanoparticles formed of a biodegradable polycyanoacrylate polymer in which insulin is entrapped, the insulin being complexed to the polycyanoacrylate. These particles are capable of releasing bioactive insulin in vivo at a slower release rate than nanoparticles in which the insulin is free. The formulation may comprise a mixture of nanoparticles in which the insulin is free and nanoparticles in which it is complexed, so as to obtain the desired release profile. The nanoparticles have a preferred loading of 15-25% w/v insulin and a preferred size of 100-400 nm. Administration may be oral or parenteral, and for oral administration, an enteric coating may be provided to target release to the small intestine. Complexing of the insulin is achieved by the polymerisation of cyanoacrylate monomer in the presence of insulin at a low pH, preferably at about pH=2.
