Title: Surgical stapling device
Inventor: WHITFIELD KENNETH H
IPC: A61B17/072
Filed: 2002-10-04
Abstract: A surgical stapling device for sequentially applying a plurality of fastener s to body tissue and simultaneously incising tissue is provided. The surgical stapling device is adapted to receive disposable loading units having staple s in linear rows whose length can be between about 30mm and 60mm. The disposab le loading unit includes a proximal body portion, a mounting assembly and a too l assembly. The mounting assembly is secured to the proximal end of the tool assembly and pivotally mounted about a pivot axis to the distal end of the proximal body portion. A support member or blow-out plate assembly is positioned on opposite sides of the pivot avis and extends between the proximal body portion and the mounting assembly. An axial drive assembly is slidably positioned between the support members and is translatable through the cartridge assembly to eject staples from the cartridge assembly. The support members prevent outward buckling of the axial drive assembly during actuation of the device especially when the tool assembly is articulated. Preferably, a protrusion is provided in the proximal body portion of the disposable loading unit at a position to frictionally engage an articulation link. Engagement between the protrusion and the articulation link retains th e articulation link at a fixed position within the proximal body portion to maintain the tool assembly in a desired orientation until a predetermined axial force is applied to the articulation link. The disposable loading unit also preferably includes a locking member which is operably connected to the axial drive assembly. The locking member provides an audible and/or tactile indication that the device has been actuated.

Title: Method and apparatus for replicating the position of intra-osseous implants and abutments relative to analogs thereof
Inventor: MORGAN VINCENT J
IPC: A61C8/00
Filed: 2003-03-05
Abstract: The position of intra-osseous implants and abutments to analogs is enabled and enhanced by using the longitudinal axial locked position of a post (12a) of an implant (12) having a locking taper in a bore (10a) of an implant (10) having a generally matching locking taper as a reference to determine the position of a stop surface (14c) on impression posts, abutment analog posts and the like received in the bore of an implant and implant analog. In another embodiment the bore (16) of an implant analog (16) is provided with a shelf (16c) located at a position determined by the axial distance of the locked position of the abutment post to prevent over-seating. Controlled retentive resistance and stability of a post is provided by using flats formed in the bore of an implant analog and by forming rings on a post receivable in the bore of an implant or implant analog. One such ring (18c) is formed with an outer periphery sized and configured to allow bending of the outer peripheral portion in a direction opposite to the direction of insertion in a bore to provide greater retentive resistance than insertion resistance.
