Abstract: A veno-merse/harvester device having a handle portion, a hollow shaft portion, and a cutting portion. A fixed cannula system incorporated in the device improves the hydrostatic pressure, which allows efficient hydro-dissection with less retrograde leak of tumescent fluid and facilitates the separation of the vein from surrounding tissues with less bleeding. The veno-merse/harvester device may incorporate a camera system to allow direct visualization of the side branches to be ligated during a procedure. The self-adjustable cutting tip facilitates the forward advancement of the veno-merse/harvester device safely over a dilated portion of a vein.

Abstract: A device for removing and harvesting veins that minimizes the invasive nature of the procedure by providing an internal cutting device with an inner blade to sever the vein at the desired location from below the skin surface, after separation of the vein from the surrounding tissue. The device also includes a serrated cutting tip, a cutting system having a looped wire or two or more wires connected at the distal end of the device, which can be tightened to sever the vein in lieu of the use of the inner blade, or heated by a power source to cauterize the vein. An injection port and cannula may also be contained in the device for delivery of local anesthesia around the vein.

Abstract: A device is disclosed to remove veins from the body. These can be unwanted varicose veins or healthy veins of the arms and legs used for bypasses or fistula formation. This device has a handle for the purpose of rotation and advancement of the instrument. This handle is attached to an elongated semi rigid shaft of various lengths. At the remote end of this shaft is the tip of the instrument comprised of a cylindrical shape device with an outward angle of various degrees. This tip is advanced with rotational move around the vein to separate the vein from surrounding tissue and also to cut the tributaries without damaging the wall of the vein. The shaft can be hollow to allow insertion of a long needle for the purpose of injection and local anesthesia.

Abstract: The device for reducing the symptoms of prolapsed hemorrhoids has a continuous contour and a bulbous portion between leading and trailing ends of the device. The bulbous portion has a leading inclined surface and a trailing inclined surface which meet at an intermediate point of maximum radial dimensions. A rounded tip is provided at the leading end and a stop plate at the trailing end to control the extent of insertion.

Abstract: An elongate outer sleeve is mounted on a support and defines an axis and distal and proximate ends in relation to said support. An elongate inner tube is generally coaxial with and contained within said outer sleeve. A drive selectively rotates the inner tube about the axis relative to the outer sleeve.

Abstract: An electro cautery device for attachment to a suction pump and to a source of electric current includes a tubular member one end of which is connectable to the suction pump and the other end is insertable into the cavity of a human torso. A retractable cautery element is mounted on the end insertable into the torso and connectable to a source of electric current. The cautery element is movable between a retracted position which prevents it from being exposed to tissue and an extended position used during cauterization. A button on the tubular member moves the cautery element from the retracted to the extended positions when depressed, simultaneously connecting the cautery element to the source of the electric current.

Abstract: A colon irrigation device includes a tube flexible material with a second tube of smaller dimensions running along the inside surface of the larger external tube. Outlet apertures are provided for releasing irrigation fluid first through the inner tube or conduit, and inlet apertures are provided on the larger outer tube for receiving the irrigation fluid at a distal end of the colon. An enlarged end of the outer tube facilitates gripping of the tube once inserted into the colon so that it can be brought to the area to be irrigated. In the alternative, an inflatable bladder or balloon is provided which supplied with compressed air through a third tube running along the inside surface of the larger outer tube which can be inflated once the device is inserted into the colon and inflated to facilitate the gripping.
