Abstract: A device comprising: (a) a first working arm; (b) a shuttle located on the first working arm, and (c) a bias device; wherein the bias device biases the first working arm when the shuttle is in a first position, and wherein the bias device is free of biasing the first working arm when the shuttle is in a second position.

Abstract: Provided is a medical device comprising an adaptor having a slot and screw arrangement, the adaptor configured to be connectable to a handpiece; and an extension tube configured to be partially received within the adaptor, the extension tube configured to receive a drive shaft of a working member, wherein the slot and screw arrangement of the adaptor is configured to adjustably lock the extension tube along the drive shaft of the working member. The medical device further comprises a locking ring having one or more slots, the locking ring configured to receive a portion of a handpiece, wherein the one or more slots of the locking ring is configured to work together with a locking pin to lock and secure the drive shaft of the working member.

Abstract: A surgical device can include a first jaw, a second jaw opposing the first jaw, a clamp lever in communication with the first jaw and the second jaw and operable to move the first jaw, the second jaw, or both from a jaw nominal position to a jaw clamped position when an external force is imparted upon the clamp lever in a first direction, and a stop bias member that stops movement of the clamp lever when the external force is removed so that the first jaw and the second jaw are in the jaw nominal position at rest.

Abstract: A surgical forceps comprising: a first working arm and a second working arm configured to move towards and away from each other; and an electromagnetic latching system; wherein the electromagnetic latching system is configured to create a force that is in a direction aligned with closing of the forceps or opposite to the closing of the forceps when an electromagnetic activation button is depressed.

Abstract: An electrosurgical device: (a) power cable comprising: (i) a primary lead that connects to a first pole of an AC power source and (ii) one or more auxiliary leads; wherein the power cable includes a dual core having the primary lead on a first side and the one or more auxiliary leads on a second side with a web being located between the first side and the second side.

Abstract: A forceps having at least a first jaw with a longitudinal axis is disclosed. The first jaw can include a body portion, a first flange, a second flange and a cam pin. The first flange can define a first cam slot with a longitudinal extent along the longitudinal axis. The second flange can be spaced from the first flange a distance transverse to the longitudinal axis of the first jaw and can have a second cam slot. The cam pin, with a longitudinal axis, can be moveably secured within the first cam slot and the second cam slot. A diameter of the cam pin can be less than a width between a first longitudinal edge that defines a first side of each of the first cam slot and the second cam slot and a second longitudinal edge that defines a second opposing side of each of the first cam slot and the second cam slot so that the cam pin is moveably received by both the first cam slot and the second cam slot.

Abstract: The present invention is premised upon an improved balloon dilator, more particularly to an improved balloon dilator comprising an expandable balloon, a core wire which extends through the expandable balloon, and a single visual marker band positioned at a geometric center within the balloon dilator which may selectively reflect certain wavelengths of light.
