Abstract: A depth limiter that is configured to couple with a cannula of a surgical access device. The depth limiter includes first and second user contact portions and first and second biasing features. The first biasing feature includes a first resilient portion and a first gripping surface. The second biasing feature includes a second resilient portion and a second gripping surface. The first and second resilient portions are configured to move the respective first and second gripping surfaces from a fixed configuration to a movable configuration when the respective first and second user contact portions are actuated. In the fixed configuration, the first and second gripping surfaces collectively restrict axial movement of the depth limiter by directly contacting the cannula. In the movable configuration, the first and second gripping surfaces extend parallel to a longitudinal axis and allow for axial movement of the depth limiter relative to the cannula.

Title: Method of determining vessel fluid flow velocity
Inventor: TOBÓN GÓMEZ CATALINA
IPC: A61B6/00
Filed: 2021-10-20
Abstract: Image data of contrast dye in a vessel in a body is acquired for determining flow rate. Based on images acquired under and angle relative to one another, a three-dimensional model of the vessel is constructed and length of a vessel section is determined. A series of at least two images, apart in time, under a first angle is assessed for determining progress of a front of the dye bolus in the vessel in time. In the images, the vessel may be segmented and brightness or a derivative thereof over at least one of time and distance may be assessed to determine the front. Progress distance is mapped to the three-dimensional model, for example by mapping segments from the image to the model, to obtain a more accurate and natural distance of progress over time. Flow rate is determined by natural progress distance over progress time.
