Abstract: An adjustable medical/veterinary suture crimp tool system includes a crimp tool with a stationary jaw at a distal end of fixed shank, a moveable jaw at a distal end of a linearly driven crossbar for deforming a crimp tube located between the stationary jaw and the moveable jaw, and an alignment fiducial associated with at least one jaw. A first handle is connected to a fixed shank, and a second handle is pivotably connected to the fixed shank and configured to drive the crossbar linearly with respect to the fixed shank to crimp the crimp tube. A stop is configured to limit the extent of travel of the crossbar and a mechanism cooperates with the stop for adjusting the extent of travel of the crossbar for crimp tube deformation. An internally threaded crimp tube has an outer alignment fiducial for alignment with the alignment fiducial of the at least one said jaw of the crimp tube.

Abstract: The limbs of a bipolar forceps for RF coagulation are produced from a bimetal material, wherein an outer layer (18) consists of stainless steel and determines the mechanical properties of the forceps, while an inner layer (20) consists of a sliver alloy. An electrode (30) is formed from the inner layer at the distal end of the limbs (16). The inner layer (20) brings about good heat dissipation from the electrodes (30) and prevents the tissue from sticking thereto during coagulation.

Abstract: A pouch formed from sheet material that is commonly referred to as a drape. The pouch is formed by folding the drape, which has a tacky surface, on itself and placing fasteners through holes punched in the drape which ensures the pouch maintains is maintained. The pouch catches medical instruments that may slide off of the drape, preventing the medical instruments from failing to the floor and becoming contaminated.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a marking device for a storage and/or transport container for medical devices with a mat made of sterilizable material and a marking element for storage of electronic information on characteristic parameters of the medical devices stored and/or transported in the storage and transport container, which can be read out in wireless fashion. An RFID tag can be used, for example, as marking element, in which information concerning sterilization processes, sterilization time and/or other parameters characteristic for the medical devices accommodated in the storage and/or transport container is stored.
