  • Patent number: 11147584
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for cutting anatomic members, such as ligaments, in surgical procedures such as carpal tunnel release, plantar fasciotomy, gastroc release, and cubital and tarsal tunnel release. The apparatus includes a guide tool for guiding a knife and a scope during surgery which may be employed with a translating knife. Relevant features include a knife stop for preventing the knife from inadvertently raising out of the knife channel, indicia viewable to show the proper orientation for the guide tool, a self dilating tip and channel design on the guide tool, a cover piece and/or pivotable panel system for preventing ligaments and other anatomy from getting caught in the guide tool, a pivot pin and groove system for stabilizing the knife and also assuring that the knife blade is not inadvertently raised out of the channel, and a use indicator employable to prevent re-use of the device.

  • Patent number: 11000303
    Abstract: A surgical device is provided which is formed of a pair of engageable members each having first and second channels which define respective first and second tunnels through the removably engaged members. Apertures through a proximal endwall provide a path for a cabled imaging component through said first tunnel to provide images of tissue surrounding the device, and an opening in the endwall of the paired members provides access to the second tunnel for a surgical blade for cutting tissue positioned in a gap between the paired members.

  • Patent number: 10045686
    Abstract: A tissue visualization and modification device may include a rigid access body having a longitudinal axis, an internal passageway extending from the proximal end to the distal end, and an access body imaging sensor positioned on the distal end of the body and protruding inward beyond an inner wall into the internal passageway. An elongated member may be slidably positioned within the rigid access body. The elongated member may include, when viewed substantially along the longitudinal axis, a dissection electrode in the shape of a semicircle, an irrigation channel positioned within the semicircle, an aspiration channel positioned partially within the semicircle and adjacent the irrigation channel, first and second illumination elements positioned adjacent the respective tips of the semicircle and an elongated member imaging sensor positioned adjacent the aspiration channel.
