Abstract: A method for treatment of diseases of the optic tract resides in applying a rotating magnetic field, which rotates at a variable angular velocity and its rotation is brought in synchronism with the blood flow pulsation in the internal carotid artery, is applied to the bridge of the nose, to the upper portion of the orbit of both eyes, to the temporal areas, to both of the auriculo-temporal regions, and to the region of a projection of the visual analyzers.A device for treatment of diseases of the optic tract, comprising a housing, accommodating a drive and a main permanent magnet whose axle is connected to the shaft of a drive through an elastic element. Besides, a magnetic brake is accommodated in the housing in the zone of action of the magnetic field.

Abstract: Described herein is a surgical instrument for suturing cutaneous tissue, especially scar tissue, when stitching on skin grafts, said instrument comprising a supporting body and a staple body which are hinged to each other so as to be capable of being brought together or apart. A staple magazine is provided on the staple body of the instrument, and an ejector is provided for driving the staples from the staple body into the stitching unit. The stitching unit incorporates a single needle-shaped die with an L-shaped needle, said needle being mounted on the supporting body, and a slot formed at the end of the staple body through which the die needle passes when suturing. The needle-shaped die has two recesses, one of which communicates with the magazine through the groove provided in the supporting body, while the other of which, upon bringing the instrument bodies together, is located against a special groove in the staple body, communicating with the staple magazine and with the base of the slot.

Abstract: A forceps for isolation of a part of a blood vessel during anastomosis comprises hinged levers and an automatic lock to hold the levers in the closed position. There are rings at one end of each lever, by which the forceps is held. The other ends of the levers bear jaws arranged at an angle toward the levers. One jaw has a longitudinal groove open on the side facing the opposite jaw, while the other jaw is made in the form of a ridge whose width is the same as that of the groove so that the ridge enters the groove as the jaws are pulled together. Each jaw has a removable part that does not extend to the jaw ends.This invention can advantageously be used to divide a part of a vessel into two parts along its longitudinal axis during anastomosis with mechanical suturing or ligation.
