  • Patent number: 12290274
    Abstract: A medical device system configured to dynamically control a shaver window opening via controlling positioning of an opening in an inner drive shaft relative to an opening in an outer housing based on continuously tracking the motor is disclosed. The medical device system may include a shaver at a distal end and an aspiration system configured to aspirate material through the inner drive shaft. A processor of the medical device system may control rotational motion of the inner drive shaft based on continuously sensing the position of the opening in the inner drive shaft to reduce clogs and increase cutting effectiveness of the system. By continuously monitoring the medical device system, the processor can correct out of phase conditions in oscillation mode to prevent poor cutting conditions. The processor can also dynamically determine a reversal position on the opening in the inner drive shaft to create a desired cutting action.

  • Publication number: 20250134544
    Abstract: A rotary surgical shaver includes an outer housing forming an outer cutting window at a distal end portion. A rotary member extends through the outer housing and in connection with a motor at a proximal end portion and forms a plurality of cutting windows comprising a first window and a second window at the distal end portion. A controller is configured to control the motor to position the rotary member over a first angular range aligned with the first window defining a first cutting sequence and control the motor to position the rotary member over a second angular range aligned with the second window defining a second cutting sequence. The controller is further configured to selectively adjust a duty cycle between the first cutting sequence and the second cutting sequence.

  • Publication number: 20250134582
    Abstract: A probe apparatus includes a plurality of nested sheaths including an inner sheath forming an inner sheath passage and an outer sheath forming an outer sheath passage. A cannula forms an actuator linkage that extends from a proximal linkage end portion to a distal linkage end portion. The actuator linkage extends through the inner sheath passage from the proximal end portion at a main body forming a handle portion to the distal linkage end portion and forms a lumen therethrough. A blade is in connection with the distal linkage end portion and the inner sheath. An imaging apparatus includes an imager extending through the cannula at the distal linkage end portion and captures image data in a field of view.

  • Publication number: 20250134542
    Abstract: A surgical apparatus includes an elongated probe extending from a proximal handle portion to a distal jaw. In operation, the distal jaw may be actuated via an actuator assembly in connection with the handle portion. The distal jaw may be utilized to manipulate or grasp patient tissue, sutures, or various objects associated with a procedure that may be encountered in a patient cavity. An imaging device is in connection with the probe proximal to the distal jaw. In operation, the imaging device may capture image data in a field of view distally directed from the elongated probe. The image data captured in the field of view may assist an operator in targeting objects to be grasped or clamped within the distal jaw while avoiding unintentional contact with neighboring tissue within the patient cavity.

  • Patent number: 12274433
    Abstract: Soft anchor constructs and methods for soft tissue to bone repairs. The soft anchors may be knotted or knotless constructs. The soft anchors include a body formed of various soft materials (including, but not limited to, suture) and provided in various shapes and configurations that confer the anchors the ability to be easily inserted within bone tunnels or sockets and be bunched up within the bone tunnels or sockets. At least one closed loop or soft eyelet is attached to the soft anchor to allow additional sliding strands and/or shuttle/pull devices (suture passing devices) to pass through the eyelet and aid in the knotted or knotless fixation of tissue to bone.
