  • Patent number: 11147557
    Abstract: An applicator for applying a surgical clip to a patient's tissue has a frame assembly with an applicator tube having a distal end configured to releasably receive the surgical clip. The applicator has a surgical-clip opening assembly including a clip-opening trigger, a clip-opening rod disposed in the applicator tube and a clip-opening jaw. Activation of the clip-opening trigger displaces the clip-opening rod proximally opening the clip-opening jaw. A surgical-clip closing assembly has a clip-closing trigger, a clip-closing rod disposed in the applicator tube and a clip-closing beam. Activation of the clip-closing trigger displaces the clip-closing rod distally closing the clip-opening jaw. A surgical-clip ejection assembly has a clip ejection knob, a clip-ejection rod disposed in the applicator tube and a clip ejection beam. Activation of the clip-ejection knob ejects the surgical clip. The clip-opening trigger, clip-closing trigger and clip ejection knob are independently activatable.

  • Patent number: 10278700
    Abstract: A wound closure device for closing a surgical wound includes at least one compressive clip for applying pressure to a patient's tissue. The clip includes a first clamping arm, a second clamping arm, and a flexible pin maintained between the first and second clamping arms in a press-fit relationship. Each of the first and second clamping arms has a proximal first end, an opposing distal second end and a sidewall extending therebetween. The clip has a first position in which the proximal first ends of the first and second clamping arms partially engage or do not engage each other and a second position in which the proximal first ends of the first and second clamping arms pivotally engage each other. In the second position of the clip, a compressive force generated at the proximal first ends is transferred through the first and second clamping arms to the distal second ends.

  • Patent number: 9700324
    Abstract: A surgical clip applicator includes a base housing having a body portion, a movable trigger, a cannula, and a clip application mechanism extending within and through at least a portion of a length of the cannula. The clip application mechanism includes a movable first linkage and a jaw rotatable about a pivot mount. A first actuation of the trigger causes the first linkage to be moved in a linear direction with respect to the body portion and the cannula and the jaw to be rotated in a first direction about the pivot mount, for placing the clip in an open position on the patient's tissue. A second actuation of the trigger causes the jaw to be rotated in second direction about the pivot mount, the second direction being opposite to the first direction, placing the clip in a closed position on the patient's tissue.

  • Patent number: 8852211
    Abstract: A wound closure device for closing a surgical wound is provided. The device includes a flexible base sheet and at least one flexible hemostatic clip for applying pressure to a patient's tissue. The flexible base sheet includes at least a first end and a second end, as well as an aperture extending through the base sheet longitudinally from proximate to the first end toward the second end. The aperture has a first and a second longitudinally extending edge. The clip has a first end, a second end, a top, a bottom, and at least a first and a second clamping member. Each clamping member has a distal edge. The clip is attachable to the base sheet.
