  • Publication number: 20240148432
    Abstract: An electrosurgical device includes a distal portion having a first electrode extending distally from an elongated shaft, wherein the first electrode is configured to provide a delivered electrical current to a target treatment site within a patient, and wherein the first electrode defines a first irrigation port configured to release a surgical fluid into the target treatment site; and a second electrode extending distally from the elongated shaft, wherein the second electrode is configured to receive a return electrical current from the target treatment site, and wherein the second electrode defines a second irrigation port configured to release the surgical fluid into the target treatment site; wherein the distal portion of the electrosurgical device defines at least one aspiration port configured to proximally aspirate the surgical fluid from the target treatment site.

  • Publication number: 20210322003
    Abstract: A surgical stitching device is configured for single hand operation that enables passage of a suture needle through tissue with minimal operational requirement. The surgical needle is selectively securable to first and second jaws that are pivotably coupled to each other. When the first and second jaws are in an open configuration, in which, the first and second jaws are spaced apart, the suture needle is detachably secured to the first and second jaws. When the first and second jaws are in a closed configuration, in which, the first and second jaws are approximated, the suture needle is detachably secured to one of the first and second jaws and is detached from the other one of the first and second jaws. Such single hand operation facilitates procedures such as, e.g., extraterritorial loop suture closure.

  • Publication number: 20100235780
    Abstract: A system, a computer readable storage medium including instructions, and computer-implemented method for displaying at least one word based on a sequence of keyboard events. A sequence of keyboard events representing keystrokes is received. The sequence of keyboard events is processed by: accessing and traversing nodes of a trie data structure in accordance with the sequence of keyboard events and upon arriving at a word node of the trie data structure, identifying one or more corresponding words to be displayed, and displaying at least one word of the one or more corresponding words to be displayed.
