CLAMPING DEVICES FOR SURGICAL FASTENERS SUPPLY TO SOFT ENVIRONMENT Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A61B17/68 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: clamping device for surgical fasteners supply includes an upper arm and a lower arm. The lower arm has a proximal end, a distal end and a longitudinal axis that extends between the proximal and the distal end. The upper arm is rotatably connected to the lower arm. The actuator is connected to the upper and lower arms to move their distal ends to each other for clamping. Surgical fasteners dispenser is attached to the distal end of the lower arm. The dispenser includes a cassette body having a top surface with a dispensing opening for surgical fasteners. The plate is rotatably coupled to the distal end of the upper arm. When the clamping device closes, the bottom surface plate provides a compressive force on the upper surface of the cassette body to supply one of the surgical fasteners at an angle perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

EFFECT: reliability increase.
