METHOD OF FORMING SUCTION INSTRUMENT END AND SHAVER INSTRUMENT END - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240032956 titled 'METHOD OF FORMING SUCTION INSTRUMENT END AND SHAVER INSTRUMENT END

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for manufacturing a surgical instrument consisting of two tubes, where the second tube is positioned inside the first tube. A sensor is secured near the end of the second tube, and a die is used to shape the distal end of the first tube while it rotates and moves along a predetermined path.

  • The method involves manufacturing a surgical instrument with two tubes.
  • The second tube is positioned coaxially within the first tube.
  • A sensor is secured near the end of the second tube.
  • A die is engaged against the distal end of the first tube while it rotates.
  • The die is simultaneously moved along a predetermined path to shape the distal end of the first tube.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Manufacturing surgical instruments with precise shapes and dimensions.
  • Creating instruments for minimally invasive surgeries.
  • Developing specialized tools for specific medical procedures.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensuring accurate shaping of surgical instrument components.
  • Facilitating the manufacturing process of complex instruments.
  • Improving the functionality and performance of surgical tools.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced precision and control in surgical instrument manufacturing.
  • Increased efficiency and consistency in shaping instrument components.
  • Improved quality and reliability of surgical instruments.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method is used to manufacture a surgical instrument including a first tube, and a second tube. the first tube extends from a proximal first end portion to a distal first end portion. the second tube extends from a proximal second end portion to a distal second end portion. the second tube is positioned coaxially within the first tube with the distal second end portion positioned adjacent to the distal first end portion. the second tube defines a lumen. the sensor is secured proximal to the distal second end portion of the second tube. a die is engaged against a distal first end portion of the first tube while first tube rotates about its own longitudinal axis; and the die is simultaneously moved relative to the distal first end portion of the first tube along a predetermined path to form a predetermined shape.
