  • Publication number: 20110201895
    Abstract: A device for surgical operations on a prolapse, comprising a hollow stretcher body (2) having a prevalent development direction along a longitudinal axis (A) and being insertable in an orifice, the stretcher body (2) exhibiting a through-window (7), defining an area of intervention and realising a communication between an internal cavity (3) of the stretcher body (2) and a portion of a prolapse, a mobile wall (8) defining the through-window (7) in combination with the stretcher body (2) and being slidably associated to the stretcher body (2) in order to open and/or close the through window (7) between a configuration of minimum extension and a configuration of maximum extension of the through-window (7); characterised in that it comprises means for blocking (10) which act between the mobile wall (8) and the stretcher body (2) in order to maintain the through-window (7) stably in the configuration of minimum extension during insertion of the stretcher body (2).

  • Publication number: 20110130771
    Abstract: A process for surgical operations on a rectal/haemorrhoidal prolapse comprises stages of realising, in the anal canal, at least a first circular stitching at a first portion of a haemorrhoidal prolapse; realising at least a second circular stitching in a second portion of the haemorrhoidal prolapse, and nearing the first circular stitching and the second circular stitching in order to create a constriction of the haemorrhoidal prolapse. The invention also relates to a device, preferably for actuating the process, which comprises a hollow divaricator (17) having a prevalent development direction along a longitudinal axis (Z) and being insertable in a patient's anal orifice. The device further exhibits a window (29) defining an operational area and creating a communication between a cavity (17b) internal of the divaricator (17) and a portion of haemorrhoidal prolapse. The device further comprises means for opening and closing (31) the window (29).

  • Publication number: 20100234949
    Abstract: A device for elastic ligature of tissues comprises: a first and a second element, one of which exhibits a support portion for at least a rubber ring, the elements being slidably coupled to one another such that a reciprocal sliding between the elements determines a release of a rubber ring from the support portion; a trigger, manually manoeuvrable by an operator and acting on at least the second element for realising a reciprocal sliding between the elements; a connecting portion, connected to the trigger and to the second element and being elastically deformable in order to enable a reciprocal change of orientation between the trigger and the second element.

  • Publication number: 20100041954
    Abstract: The device for examining and surgically operating on body cavities, in particular the anal and vaginal cavities, comprises an elongate hollow body (2) exhibiting an insertion portion (3) for at least a partial insertion of the device (1) internally of the cavity and an open portion (4), through which the doctor or surgeon can operate. The hollow body (2) exhibits a longitudinal window (5) through which the pathological site of interest on the cavity wall can be isolated. The hollow body (2) exhibits, along the longitudinal window, a transversal section constituted by a curved sector, ends of which extend in a substantially parallel directions which diverge in such a way as to stretch the affected portion of cavity without invading the viewing space and/or the manoeuvring space defined by the hollow body (2).

  • Publication number: 20090306481
    Abstract: A medical surgical device for coloproctological pathologies comprises a tubular body (2), provided with a first end (5), which can be inserted into the anal cavity, and a second end (6), opposite the first end (5) and connected to a handle (7) for maneuvering the tubular body (2) inside the anal cavity. A light source (8) for illuminating the inside of the tubular body (2) can be removably connected to the tubular body (2). Downstream of the light source (8) is located an entraining body (10) for entraining a portion of the light emitted by the light source (8) toward the inserting end (5). The entraining body (10) comprises a thickening (11) on the internal wall (3).

  • Patent number: 7452329
    Abstract: The invention describes a disposable device for operations on the arteria haemorroidalis, which comprises a retractor tube (1), closed and rounded on the end (101) which is inserted in the anal cavity, and open and diverging on the external end (201) to which is connected a griping handle (M) which removable houses a luminous source (F). In the connection zone of the handle to the external mouth of the retractor there is provided a channel (C) which contains a parabola (5) which reflects the light supplied from said luminous source (F) and which sends the reflected light inside of the same retractor, to illuminate a lateral window (8) through which appears the rectal mucosa upon which the operation must be made for the ligature of the arteria haemorroidalis.
