Abstract: A surgical camera comprising a base, an image capturing element defining a field of view and configured to exchange image data with a monitor, a connector extending between the image capturing element and the base, and a manipulator configured for movement of the image capturing element relative to the base. To facilitate free hands of the surgeon, the surgical camera forms a contact surface which can be attached to an outer skin surface of the patient and thereby fix the camera to the patient.

Abstract: A device for visualization of internal tissue of a patient's uterus, the device including a hand-held control unit, an elongated member, and an image capturing tip. To provide better light conditions, to reduce heat generation and related problems with excessive heating and to improve the ergonomic conditions, a device including an illumination structure having at least a first and a second optical fibre is provided.

Abstract: The invention provides a device for thermal ablation at a site in a subject. The apparatus comprises an expandable bladder; a displacement chamber having a variable volume; an elongated catheter forming fluid communication between the bladder and the displacement chamber; and a heater for heating the fluid. To obtain an improved pressure control and a reliable structure, the chamber comprises a syringe structure including a piston movable in a cylinder by power driven means for varying the volume of the displacement chamber.

Abstract: A handheld electrosurgical instrument with jaws at a distal end of a shaft. For moving the jaws, the instrument includes a linkage structure with at least three pivots which are movable relative to the housing and with at least pivot which is fixed to the housing. By this arrangement, one of the movable pivots may move as a substitute for movement of the jaws, and the instrument may therefore always have the same limits for handle movement e.g. also if the jaws are prevented from moving. Additionally, a more uniform closure pressure may be ensured independently on the force applied to the handle.

Abstract: A hysteroscopy device with an image capturing structure located at a distal end of an elongated member and communicating video signals with a monitor. The elongated member and the image capturing structure being dimensioned for insertion into the patient's uterus through cervix.

Abstract: An electrosurgical instrument and apparatus for use with the instrument A bipolar electrosurgical instrument for use with an electrosurgical generator. The bipolar electrosurgical instrument incorporates a transformer having an input side or end electrically connected to the electrosurgical generator and an output side or end electrically connected to said bipolar electrosurgical instrument. The inexpensive bipolar electrosurgical instrument can be used with most conventional bipolar electrosurgical generators as well as with bipolar electrosurgical generators specifically designed for use with said instrument.

Abstract: An apparatus for treating uterine disorders by effecting necrosis of the uterine endometrium. The apparatus comprises a catheter with a bladder which can be inflated with a hot medium. To prevent inflation of the bladder during heating of the medium, and therefore to prevent too early inflation, the apparatus operates the inflation means in the negative direction during heating of the inflation medium.

Abstract: A single use morcellator utilizes a disposable housing, cutting tube, battery and motor in combination with an attached and adjustable trocar to enable the surgeon to selectively utilize the cutting edge of the tube. The battery and control circuit are completely contained within the integral morcellator such that no separate components are needed.

Abstract: An electrosurgical instrument for use with an electrosurgical generator. The electrosurgical instrument incorporates a signal modificator having an input end electrically connected to the electrosurgical generator and an output end electrically connected to one or more electrodes of the electrosurgical instrument, where the signal modificator modifies a continuous signal from the electrosurgical generator into a pulsing signal to the one or more electrodes of the electrosurgical instrument. The signal modificator comprises a circuit for providing the pulsing signal.
