  • Laparoscopic anastomosis tools and technique
    Patent number: 8597310
    Abstract: An anastomosis normally closed clip comprising a first side including at least one first suture guide, the first suture guide being disposed on a top of the clip, the first end portion and the first suture guide defining a first suture space open toward the top of the clip, the first side further including a first carrier slot on the bottom of the clip; and a second side which is the mirror image of the first side. An introducer device is used to open the clip and introduce it into a patient over two organ segments to be sutured together and allow the clip to close. The suture spaces allow for continuous suturing of the organ segments. The introducer device is used to remove the clip from the patient after the suture procedure.

  • Automatic cell analyzer method
    Patent number: 4085006
    Abstract: A cell analyzer which automatically processes and evaluates cell samples for possible indications of malignancy and other abnormalities is disclosed. Cell samples are prepared in a suspension and are tagged with an appropriate radioactive stain or appropriate biochemical. Counting, filtering and drying steps under computer control are followed by the taking of a radioactive count with respect to a normalized number of cells. The results of the radioactive counting determine whether the particular sample is classified as "positive" or "negative".
