Abstract: A hernia repair device including a main body, a plurality of suture needle ports, a plurality of suture needles and a central shaft. The central shaft includes a retractable distal flange disposed at a distal end portion of the central shaft and defines a central channel extending through the main body. The suture needle ports are adjustable between a first configuration in which the suture needle ports are housed entirely within the main body and a second configuration in which the suture needle ports partially extend from the distal end portion of the main body. The suture needles are adjustable between a first configuration in which the suture needles are housed entirely within the suture needle ports and a plurality of second configurations in which the suture needles partially extend from distal end portions of the suture needle ports. A hernia repair mesh is attached to the plurality of suture needles.

Abstract: According to one aspect, a dilation device may include a body, at least one loop actuator attached to the body, and a sheath attached to the body at a proximal end and attached to the loop actuator at a distal end.

Abstract: A dilation system (10) comprising a speculum (20) with a body and at least one jaw (24,26) pivotally attached to the body; and a sheath (30) that is attached on the body around the at least one jaw, and expandable from a constricted position to an expanded position. A dilation comprising: at least one proximal ring (133P) spaced apart from at least one distal ring (133D); a plurality of longitudinal ribs (32) spanning between each of the proximal and distal rings; and a web (34) spanning between at least each of the plurality of ribs, wherein the sheath is expandable from a constricted position to an expanded position.
