Publication number: 20240074829Abstract: Tissue access devices and methods of using the same are disclosed. The devices can have a sensor configured to occlude a flow path by deflecting a membrane into the flow path when the devices become dislodged from tissue. The sensor can be configured to partially or fully occlude the flow path. The sensor can have a spring. The spring can be biased to move the sensor from a sensor first configuration to a sensor second configuration when a force applied by the sensor first surface against a non-sensor surface changes from a first force to a second force less than the first force. The membrane can be deflected into the flow path when the sensor is in the sensor second configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: Hemotek Medical IncorporatedInventors: Patrick ROUSCHE, Peter TEK, Charles VENTURA, Richard A. SCRIBNER, Andrew BLACK, Andrew LEOPOLD, Mark CARLSON, Todd MACY, Daniel LANE, Adam HENSEL, Edward BROWKA

Patent number: 10639027Abstract: A surgical instrument includes a body, a shaft, a cartridge receiving assembly, a suture cartridge, and a slip clutch. The cartridge receiving assembly has a transmission mechanism operatively connected to an actuator of the body. The suture cartridge is received within the cartridge receiving assembly and includes a needle and a drive assembly. The drive assembly is engaged with the transmission mechanism and is coupled with the needle for selectively driving the needle. The slip clutch is operatively connected to the actuator, the transmission mechanism, and the drive assembly such that the slip clutch is configured to transmit a force therethrough from the actuator toward the needle. The slip clutch is configured to slip under the influence of predetermined maximum force transmission therethrough to operatively disengage the needle from the actuator for limiting a driving force applied to the needle.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2015Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Ethicon LLCInventors: Frederick E. Shelton, IV, Daniel J. Mumaw, Emily A. Schellin, Trevor J. Barton, Michael J. Vendely, Adam Hensel

Patent number: 10561412Abstract: A surgical instrument includes a body, a shaft, a cartridge receiving assembly, and a suture cartridge. The body has an actuator. The cartridge receiving assembly includes a pair of jaws. The suture cartridge includes a cartridge body, a needle, and a needle cover. The needle cover is releasably connected to the cartridge body such that the needle cover surrounds at least a portion of the needle. The needle cover is releasably connected to the body by at least one of a securement or a distal extension. The securement is located between the needle cover and the cartridge body to releasably connect the needle cover to the cartridge body. The distal extension projects from at least one of the first jaw or the second jaw and is configured to engage the needle cover thereby holding the needle cover to the cartridge body in the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2015Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Ethicon LLCInventors: Mark J. Bookbinder, David T. Martin, Daniel J. Mumaw, Kevin L. Houser, William J. White, Chester O. Baxter, III, Daniel L. Geiger, Frederick E. Shelton, IV, Adam Hensel
