SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND RELATED METHODS FOR FASTENING TISSUE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240041452 titled 'SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND RELATED METHODS FOR FASTENING TISSUE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a tissue fastening device that includes a body with multiple fasteners, a rotatable anvil, and a tissue cutting device. The body has a longitudinal channel to receive the tissue cutting device. The device also has a fastener actuator that moves proximally to deploy the fasteners from the body, and an actuation wire connected to the tissue cutting device and the fastener actuator. Activating the actuation wire causes the fastener actuator to deploy at least one fastener into tissue distally of tissue cut by the cutting device.

  • The tissue fastening device includes a body with multiple fasteners.
  • It has a rotatable anvil and a tissue cutting device.
  • The body has a longitudinal channel to receive the tissue cutting device.
  • A fastener actuator moves proximally to deploy the fasteners from the body.
  • An actuation wire is connected to the tissue cutting device and the fastener actuator.
  • Activating the actuation wire causes the fastener actuator to deploy at least one fastener into tissue distally of tissue cut by the cutting device.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Surgical procedures requiring tissue fastening and cutting.
  • Minimally invasive surgeries.
  • Wound closure in various medical fields.
  • Endoscopic procedures.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a convenient and efficient method for fastening tissue.
  • Enables precise cutting and fastening of tissue in a single device.
  • Reduces the need for multiple instruments during surgical procedures.
  • Minimizes tissue trauma and promotes faster healing.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Simplifies surgical procedures by combining cutting and fastening functions.
  • Reduces the risk of infection and complications associated with open wounds.
  • Enhances surgical precision and accuracy.
  • Shortens procedure time and improves patient outcomes.


Original Abstract Submitted

according to one aspect, a tissue fastening device may comprise a body configured to include a plurality of fasteners; an anvil rotatable relative to the body; and a tissue cutting device. the body may define a longitudinal channel configured to receive the tissue cutting device. the tissue fastening device may further comprise a fastener actuator configured to move proximally relative to the body to deploy the plurality of fasteners from the body; and an actuation wire coupled to the tissue cutting device and the fastener actuator. the actuation of the actuation wire may cause the fastener actuator to deploy at least one of the plurality of fasteners into tissue distally of tissue cut by the tissue cutting device.
