LAPAROSCOPIC ANASTOMOSIS DEVICES AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240032928 titled 'LAPAROSCOPIC ANASTOMOSIS DEVICES AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an apparatus that includes an interface and an elongate body coupled to the interface. The elongate body has an end effector at its distal end, which includes a first end effector element and a second end effector element. The first end effector element has a receptacle to hold a first coupler element of a coupler that receives the axial end of a first vessel, and the second end effector element has a receptacle to hold a second coupler element of the coupler that receives the axial end of a second vessel. The end effector can move between a first configuration where the end effector elements are separate, and a second configuration where the first end effector element is proximate to the second end effector element, coupling the first vessel to the second vessel.

  • The apparatus includes an interface and an elongate body with an end effector.
  • The end effector has a first end effector element and a second end effector element.
  • The first end effector element has a receptacle to hold a first coupler element.
  • The second end effector element has a receptacle to hold a second coupler element.
  • The end effector can move between a first configuration and a second configuration.
  • In the second configuration, the first and second end effector elements are proximate, coupling the first and second vessels.

Potential Applications:

  • Surgical procedures involving the connection of vessels or tubes.
  • Medical devices for joining blood vessels or other tubular structures.
  • Industrial applications where the connection of vessels or tubes is required.

Problems Solved:

  • Simplifies the process of connecting vessels or tubes.
  • Provides a secure and reliable coupling mechanism.
  • Reduces the risk of leakage or disconnection.

Benefits:

  • Enables faster and more efficient surgical procedures.
  • Improves the success rate of vessel or tube connections.
  • Reduces the need for complex and time-consuming techniques.
  • Enhances patient safety by minimizing the risk of complications.


Original Abstract Submitted

an apparatus includes an interface, and an elongate body coupled to the interface. an end effector is coupled to a distal end the elongate body and includes a first end effector element defining a first receptacle structured to hold a first coupler element of a coupler that receives an axial end of a first vessel, and a second end effector element defining a second receptacle structured to hold a second coupler element of the coupler that receives an axial end of a second vessel. the end effector is configured to move between a first configuration in which the first and second end effector elements are separate, and a second configuration in which first end effector element is proximate to the second end effector element such that the first coupler element is coupled to the second coupler element so as to couple the first vessel to the second vessel.
