Patent number: 11849940Abstract: A buttress is applied to an end effector of a surgical stapler. The buttress is loaded on a platform of a buttress applier cartridge. The end effector is closed upon the platform. An adhesive layer of the buttress secures the buttress to the end effector. The buttress is thus adhered to the end effector when the end effector is opened. The end effector is then actuated on tissue of a patient, thereby stapling the buttress to the tissue.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Cilag GmbH InternationalInventors: Michael J. Vendely, Trevor J. Barton, Jason L Harris, Charles J. Scheib, Emily A. Schellin, Prudence A. Vulhop, Steven G. Hall, Victoria Dalessandro, Jackie Donners, Mark Timmer, Rao S.

Publication number: 20210386421Abstract: A device for guiding a barbed suture into a braider preferably includes an elongated body having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis that extends from the proximal end to the distal end of the elongated body. The elongated body includes a first channel extending along the longitudinal axis of the elongated body and having a first distal opening at the distal end of the elongated body, whereby the said first channel has a first cross-sectional area, and a second channel extending along the longitudinal axis of the elongated body and having a second distal opening at the distal end of the elongated body, whereby the second channel has a second cross-sectional area that is different than the first cross-sectional area of the first channel. The device has an elongated slot extending along the longitudinal axis of the elongated body that interconnects the first and second channels. A barbed suture is loaded into the elongated body.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2021Publication date: December 16, 2021Inventors: Victoria Dalessandro, Jason T. Perkins, Glenn R.

Publication number: 20210386423Abstract: A braided barbed suture includes a barbed monofilament insert including an elongated core having a thickness and a plurality of barbs projecting outwardly from opposite sides of the elongated core. The braided barbed suture includes a braided sheath surrounding the elongated core to form a composite core of the braided barbed suture. The composite core has a thickness and the elongated core is located in a center of the composite core. The elongated core thickness is about 6-8 mil and the composite core thickness is about 13-18 mil. A ratio of the elongated core thickness relative to the composite core thickness is between about 0.16 to 0.91. The elongated core has transition zones that form a concave profile. The braided barbed suture has a single breaking point for both the braided sheath and the barbed monofilament insert. The barbed monofilament insert has a PDS monofilament core, and the braided sheath is a VICRYL multifilament yarn braided sheath.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2021Publication date: December 16, 2021Inventors: Victoria Dalessandro, Jason T.
