According to the camera link method and the computer storage medium of the present invention, linkage among multiple cameras, and automatically linkage to multiple dome cameras can be achieved, and the application range is wide.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a surgical instrument having a first elongated member and a second elongated member and a connector pivotably interconnecting the first elongated member and the second elongated member, where the first elongated member includes a partially or completely circumscribed opening, and the second elongated member includes a partially or completely circumscribed opening, or a support configured to correspond to the partially or completely circumscribed opening of the first elongated member that when operated between an open or closed state, engages or disengages an object to fix, confine and/or extrude the object with or through the partially or completely circumscribed opening of the first elongated member.

Abstract: A medical instrument includes a shaft and a movable element. The shaft has a first end having an engaging member. A second end of the shaft has a stopping member. The movable element is configured to move along the shaft. The medical instrument can be used to reduce a fracture. In use, this may include engaging a fractured bone segment with the engaging member and moving the movable element along the shaft towards the stopping member to create a force on the stopping member when the movable element comes in contact with the stopping member.

Abstract: A device for opening and/or exercising a jaw can include first and second bite members configured for opening the jaw and an anatomically bent portion configured for positioning a pivot member adjacent to the TMJ. The device may be configured such that the bite members may be capable of opening and closing along an axis of rotation in common with an axis of rotation of the temporomandibular joint.

Abstract: A mandibular distractor can include an elongated main body having a central longitudinal axis extending in the elongate direction between a first end and a spaced apart second end. A first bone mount can be secured to the main body and a second bone mount can be positioned on the main body. A drive mechanism configured to selectively move the second bone mount longitudinally along the main body can also be included. A third bone mount configured to be moved longitudinally along the main body can also be included.

Abstract: A suture collector (100, 200, 300) includes a suture collecting member (111, 112, 211, 212, 311, 312, 411, 412, 511, 512, 611, 612, 711, 712) capable of releasable retaining sutures at a surgical site, and wherein the suture collector (100, 200, 300) is movable relative to the surgical site. Also disclosed herein are method for using the suture collector (100, 200, 300) and a surgical device kit comprising at least one suture collector (100, 200, 300).

Abstract: An instrument for field isolation during surgery. The instrument includes a flexible member, and a retractor configured to retract the flexible member for field isolation during a surgical procedure. A method of providing field isolation during a surgical procedure is also provided.

Abstract: A multi-rooted tooth extraction device can include a cutting tool that can be inserted between the roots of a tooth to be extracted. A bracing tool can be coupled to the cutting tool to brace against the crown and a pressure can be applied such that the tooth can be cut from the root to the crown. The separate pieces of the tooth can then be easily removed. The ability of the bracing tool to be decoupled from the cutting tool can allow for improved leverage and usability of the cutting tool while being inserted between the roots.

Abstract: A fenestration system can be useful for draining cysts, abscesses, or other bodily cavities. A fenestration system can include: a drainage screwdriver; a drainage screw removably receivable onto the drainage screwdriver; and a drainage cap removably coupleable with the drainage screw when the drainage screw removed from the drainage screwdriver. The drainage screwdriver can receive the drainage screw so that the drainage screw can be screwed through tissue and/or cyst or abscess sac. The drainage screwdriver can then release the drainage screw so that it is inserted into the tissue, cyst, or abscess so as to be capable of drainage. A lumen in the drainage screw can function similarly to a drainage tube. The drainage cap can be applied to the drainage screw to close the lumen to inhibit other fluids or particles from entering into the tissue, cyst, or abscess via the lumen.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a highly controlled method of preparation of a microporous biodegradable polymeric article. Firstly, at least one biodegradable polymer A, one polymer B, biodegradable or not, partially or totally immiscible with A, and a compatibilizer C for A and B are selected. Secondly, the selected polymers are melt-blended, thereby preparing a polymer blend; wherein said polymers A and B have an essentially continuous morphology. Thirdly, after cooling, polymer B and compatibilizer C are selectively extracted from the polymer blend by dissolution in a solvent that is a non-solvent of polymer A. The resulting polymeric article has an essentially continuous porosity with a void volume between 10 and 90% and a unimodal diameter distribution set to a predefined unimodal peak location. It can be used in tissue engineering, for controlled release applications or as an implantable medical device.
