  • Publication number: 20250134542
    Abstract: A surgical apparatus includes an elongated probe extending from a proximal handle portion to a distal jaw. In operation, the distal jaw may be actuated via an actuator assembly in connection with the handle portion. The distal jaw may be utilized to manipulate or grasp patient tissue, sutures, or various objects associated with a procedure that may be encountered in a patient cavity. An imaging device is in connection with the probe proximal to the distal jaw. In operation, the imaging device may capture image data in a field of view distally directed from the elongated probe. The image data captured in the field of view may assist an operator in targeting objects to be grasped or clamped within the distal jaw while avoiding unintentional contact with neighboring tissue within the patient cavity.

  • Patent number: 10945776
    Abstract: A surgical method includes accessing a depressed bone fragment of a depression fracture with a surgical assembly. The surgical assembly includes a cannula and an obturator receivable through the cannula. The method further includes positioning the depressed bone fragment toward its original anatomical position using a blunt tip of the obturator. The method also includes injecting a liquid repair material through the cannula to the depression fracture to repair the depression fracture.
