Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for retracting a cutting assembly in the event of a failure on a motorized electrosurgical device. A surgical device is provided that includes a handle portion with an elongate shaft extending distally therefrom. The elongate shaft has first and second jaws at a distal end, and the jaws are configured to engage tissue. The surgical device also has a cutting assembly configured to cut tissue engaged between the first and second jaws. A drive shaft extends from the handle of the surgical device through the elongate shaft and is coupled to the cutting assembly for moving the cutting assembly. The surgical device has a motorized gear assembly with at least one motor driven gear that is configured to move the drive shaft. The surgical device also has a bailout assembly that is configured to manually move the drive shaft.

Abstract: A device for affixing terminal tackle to a fishing line has a body that defines a chamber, an upper orifice, and a lower orifice. A winding member is located within the body and defines a circumferential groove. Terminal tackle is affixed to the winding member. Fishing line passes through the upper and lower orifices. The winding member rotates within the body for displacing a path of the line from the upper to the lower orifice for forcing line into the groove and for wrapping line around the winding member for increasing line/winding member contact area for securing the tackle onto the line. A pinch point may be provided to further secure line within the body. Tactile feedback is provided to alert when the winding member is rotated to a pre-determined rotational position. Anti-backdrive mechanisms are provided to prevent unwanted rotation of the winding member when tension is applied to the line.
