INDICATOR DEVICE FOR INDICATION OF CHARACTERISTICS OF BODY TISSUE, SUBJECTED TO SUTURING WITH SURGICAL STAPLES, AS FUNCTION OF TISSUE COMPRESSION TIME

摘要

FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine. Indicator device contains case, executive device and display device. Executive device is placed in case and has regulated element for determination of compression time. Display device holds case. Display device interacts with element for compression time determination, in such a way that display device visualises characteristics of tissue, corresponding to compression time, specified by element for compression time determination. Display device is made with possibility to visualise sign of reduction of compressed tissue thickness in accordance with specified compression time.EFFECT: indicator device makes it possible to get better idea of tissue characteristics and their behaviour depending on compression time after activating mechanism for branch and stop approach.9 cl, 7 dwg
