CLAMP DEVICE FOR MINIMALLY INVASIVE PROCEDURES AND USES THEREOF

摘要

Provided herein is a clamp device that can be used in minimally invasive procedures, including surgeries such as laparoscopic surgeries, for clamping a tissue or an organ or a portion of a tissue or organ. Also provided herein are methods of clamping a tissue or an organ or a portion thereof during minimally invasive surgery using the clamp device provided herein. Also provided are systems for performing a minimally invasive surgery that include the clamp device for minimally invasive surgery provided herein and an injection device configured to access an endoscopic port for the minimally invasive surgery.

1. A clamp device for minimally invasive surgery, comprising:
a) an elongate surface member that has a proximal end and a distal end; b) a biocompatible deformable article that rests on the surface member at the distal end of the surface member; c) a flexible band that has a proximal end and a distal end, wherein:
the distal end of the flexible band is connected to the distal end of the surface member;the flexible band forms a closed loop with the biocompatible deformable article on the surface member, the closed loop is able to fit a tissue or an organ or a portion thereof during minimally invasive surgery; andthe proximal end of the flexible band is configured to be adjustably tensioned so that the portion of the flexible band that forms a closed loop with the biocompatible deformable article can be shortened or lengthened, whereby the loop can clamp a tissue or an organ or a portion thereof.
