Publication number: 20220331059Abstract: A device for securing an ablation tool may have a backbone and a securing portion including a body and a cover, the body slides along the backbone to a lower position and then the cover affixedly receives a head member of the ablation tool. In another version, a leg portion is removably attachable to the securing portion and an upper portion projects out of the opening in the body portion from above and removably attaches to the leg portion that fits into the opening from below. In another version, a rotatable securing portion has a first portion pivotably connected to the leg portion, a second portion affixedly receive the head member when the securing portion rotates closed and a third portion affixedly attaches to the leg portion when the securing portion rotates closed. If the head member does not fit with the cover, a one-piece or two-piece adaptor is used.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: Ben GALILI, Frank SCHENK, Simon SHARON, Danna PERLMAN, Edna GADON, Dmitriy PETROVICH, Dmitry RADCHENKO

Publication number: 20220233273Abstract: A holder apparatus for enabling secure coupling of a variety of medical tool types, having different head member configurations, to a medical device. The apparatus has at least two housing portions that open and close to receive the head member, and an adjustment mechanism that adjusts to the height and/or shape of the head member, such that there is no relative movement between the housing portions and the head member. The adjustment mechanism may be a ratchet mechanism, a semi-flexible fastener, or a moldable material disposed on one or more of the housing portions. There may be a locking mechanism to lock together the housing portions, and a tightening mechanism to secure the grip of the housing portions on the head member. The housing portions may be configured to allow removal of at least a portion of the medical tool from the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2022Publication date: July 28, 2022Inventors: Ben GALILI, Frank SCHENK, Simon SHARON, Danna PERLMAN, Edna GADON

Publication number: 20210346052Abstract: A device for insertion of a flexible needle or other such instrument into a tissue, incorporating a collapsible support guide which supports that part of the needle which has not yet penetrated the tissue, preventing it from buckling, and an arrangement which pulls the needle from its proximal end to provide sufficient force for the penetration process. The collapsible support guide can be a pair of flexible strips connected along their length and enclosing the needle along its uninserted length in order to support it, with a mechanism at the distal end of the device to peel the strips from the needle as it is inserted. Insertion can be achieved by a pair of rollers engaging and advancing the strips distally. Alternatively, a telescopic support tube can be used to support the needle, the tube collapsing telescopically as the needle is inserted, to maintain clearance above the needle.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2021Publication date: November 11, 2021Inventors: Ben GALILI, Ofer ARNOLD, Simon SHARON, Daniel GLOZMAN

Publication number: 20200170740Abstract: A drape adaptor configured for coupling to a first component of a medical device and for receiving a medical tool. The first component of the medical device including a non-sterile portion of a driving mechanism. The drape adaptor comprises a sealing member configured for passing therethrough at least a portion of at least one component of a sterile portion of the driving mechanism. The drape adaptor is configured to enable transmission of torque from the first component of the medical device to the medical tool via direct engagement between the at least one component of the sterile portion of the driving mechanism and the non-sterile portion of the driving mechanism, through the sealing member, without compromising the sterility of the environment external to the drape adaptor.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2018Publication date: June 4, 2020Inventors: Ben GALILI, Ofer ARNOLD, Eran ZUR
