Abstract: A sitz bath helps patients suffering from hemorrhoids and other conditions to void their bowels. A flushing sitz bath utilizes an attached liquid filling tube, integrated water distribution channel and valve, a swing check valve, and a content-emptying flapper valve. This device helps to increase the efficiency of filling the sitz bath basin with the preferred liquid, as well as increasing the ease and cleanliness of the subsequent emptying of the basin contents by minimizing bodily strain and mess.

Abstract: A spoon-shaped skin biopsy instrument is used in the removal of superficial skin samples and skin abnormalities for subsequent laboratory analysis. The spoon-shaped skin biopsy instrument is comprised of a pair of spoon-shaped cutting edges, which surround the desired skin sample, a crossed-members apparatus with finger loops, and a pivot point that connects the crossed members. This present invention maximizes surgical efficiency and handling and minimizes operation time.

Abstract: A punch biopsy apparatus for removing all or a portion of a suspect dermal growth. A punch biopsy apparatus has: a hollow cylinder body; a coring blade at the base of the hollow cylinder body; at least one scooping blade pivotally secured by an axle and a pair of pivot seats within the cylinder body, where each scooping blade is semicircular, a longitudinally-moveable plunger secured within the hollow cylinder, where the plunger has at least one plunger leg for contacting each scooping blade, and each plunger leg transfers longitudinal plunger movement to its respective scooping blade, thereby causing rotational scooping-blade movement. This device helps minimize bleeding and minimize damage to the biopsy sample being retrieved.

Abstract: An elliptical excision clamp helps in the removal of superficial lesions and abnormalities as well as the subsequent suturing of said removal of lesions. An elliptical excision clamp utilizes a pair of half-elliptical shaped clamp jaws curved at an appropriate ratio for the target surgical area, a number of suture hole and slot pairs on the clamp jaws used to facilitate suturing, a crossed members array with finger loops, and a pivot point pin used to connect said crossed members. This device helps minimize bleeding and operation time, and maximizes surgical efficiency and wound management.

The stapler apparatus includes: a staple nail with two legs, a hammer for striking the staple nail, a staple plate for bending the two legs, a knife for cutting a portion of the patient, a member and a pry device. The member has a first end and a second end, with the member being connected with the knife at the first end. The pry device is disposed between the first end and the second end. When a force is applied to the second end of the member, the knife moves to separate the portion into a first part and a second part, and simultaneously, the force is also applied to the hammer to strike the staple nail to approximate a cut on the second part to reduce bleeding.
