Patent number: 11771438Abstract: A surgical instrument is provided that may be used to occlude organic body parts during surgery. The surgical instrument is generally composed of an actuating device, a gripping device, and a joint system. The surgical instrument may be rotated about the joint system such that the actuating device can be pivoted out of the operating field during use. The actuating device can be used to transmit a pivoting movement and an actuating movement that operates the gripping device. The gripping device is constructed of gripping elements that can occlude organic body parts. The surgical instrument also includes a locking system that can prevent the rotation of the surgical instrument about the joint system. The locking system may also prevent the operation of the actuating device when the surgical instrument is pivoted about the joint system.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Cardiomedical GMBHInventor: Wolfgang Wiedenbein

Patent number: 10398446Abstract: A surgical instrument with a parallel gripping and clamping vascular clamp, which is equipped with coupling elements which makes possible a combination of a known detachable operating arrangement and of an actuating tool, in order to keep the access opening in the thorax free of intrusive instruments. With the parallel gripping and clamping operating means of the inventive vascular clamp, the known scissor-like means are dispensed with, and a parallel adjustment of the operating means takes place by means of a lever gear according to the invention. The lever gear is formed from a stationary lever, constructed as a body element, and from several movable levers, consisting of the tension- and pressure element, a push-pull rod, two toggle levers, two pivot arms and two movable branches.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2015Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Cardiomedical GMBHInventor: Wolfgang Wiedenbein

Patent number: 8409229Abstract: A vascular clamp, has an operating mechanism, and an actuating tool. The vascular clamp is grasped using a detachable operating mechanism, wherein an actuating tool that can be slid in and out is able to open and close the jaws of the grasped vascular clamp. The vascular clamp includes a coupling arrangement and a continuously adjustable adjustment mechanism for this purpose. In order to grasp the vascular clamp, the operating mechanism includes a gripping mechanism and is equipped with a locking mechanism, which are used to create a detachable connection between the vascular clamp and the operating mechanism. For stepless opening and closing, the actuating tool engages in the adjustment mechanism of the vascular clamp and opens and closes the jaws of the vascular clamp by corresponding rotation of the actuating tool.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2010Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Cardiomedical GmbHInventor: Wolfgang Wiedenbein

Patent number: 8337398Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of medicine, in particular diagnostics and surgery. By applying endoscopy in the diagnostics and surgery sector, surgical instruments, apparatus or processes are used for examining the interior of living organisms and/or for operative interventions. As such, said invention relates to a medical instrument, in particular a surgical instrument, for use in the endoscopy, comprising a tubular element, work element and an operating element. The operating element advantageously consists of an ergonomic axial grip with an integrated locking mechanism and an instrument shaft cleaning connection.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2007Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: Cardiomedical GmbHInventor: Wolfgang Wiedenbein

Patent number: 7628272Abstract: Hemostatic clamps are used to tie or clamp blood vessels during surgical procedures. Special containers are used to store and advantageously provide hemostatic clamps. These containers completely and clearly hold clamps in each phase without tilting, and enable reliable removal by a surgeon using a surgical instrument. This is achieved with the container according to the invention, which avoids friction between the clamp and the surgical instrument.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2006Date of Patent: December 8, 2009Assignee: Cardiomedical GmbHInventor: Wolfgang Wiedenbein
