  • Patent number: 10603073
    Abstract: A trocar sleeve for minimally invasive surgery, having a first sleeve part, which has essentially the shape of a straight tubular piece with a longitudinal axis, and having a second sleeve part, which at least partly surrounds the first sleeve part in close contiguity and is movable during use with respect to the first sleeve part. The mobility of the second sleeve part in relation to the first sleeve part consists essentially only in rotatability of the second sleeve part around the first sleeve part, and in addition the first sleeve part and the second sleeve part each comprise on their distal axial ends a flange part that extends radially outward at an angle of less than 180 degrees from the respective sleeve part.

  • Patent number: 10378171
    Abstract: A caisson is modified to include side tabs thin can be gripped by side-mounted clamps on a vibratory hammer so that the caisson may be lifted into position from a horizontal position, oriented vertically, and driven into the ground without readjustment of the clamping of the vibratory hammer. An end cap installed permanently at the top of the caisson may provide an additional flange for receiving a lower clamp of the vibratory hammer to complete installation of the caisson, driving the caisson further into the earth until the tabs are buried in the ground. The flange may be sized to fit within a tower portion attached to the caisson eliminating the need for a replaceable flange system.
