Abstract: A surgical snare instrument includes a tubular sheath (12), a flexible shaft (18) extending through, and axially movable relative to the sheath (12); a snare loop (24) at the distal end of the shaft; and a handle assembly (26) coupled to the proximal end of the sheath, and shaft for moving the shaft (18) axially relative to the sheath (12). The handle assembly (26) is provided with a cautery capability (28) to provide a cautery current to the snare loop (24). The snare loop (24) is trained to have a proximal portion (38) which extends along an angle or curve relative to the tubular member, and a distal portion (40) which is substantially parallel to the tubular member. When the snare loop (24) is moved beyond the distal end of the sheath (12), the polyp-engaging distal portion (40) of the snare loop is oriented substantially parallel, yet non-axial, with the tubular member (12).

Abstract: An exercise kit includes a lightweight garment (100) having at least a pair of elongated pockets. An elongated bent plastic member (30) is secured within desired one of the pockets to provide resistance when deformed, and no resistance when restored resiliently to an original shape. The method of using the kit includes performing physical activities that includes movement of at least some portion of the body sufficient to cause the plastic member to deform, and to provide sufficient resistance to the movement to tone the muscles of the user experiencing such resistance. In another embodiment an exercise kit includes at least one elongated plastic member (30) having a distal end pair of slots (36, 37), and a proximate end pair of slots. A pair of securing straps (31, 34) conformed to fit within respective ones of the slots helps secure the plastic member in a position extending longitudinally along a limb portion of a user.

Abstract: A catheter assembly (10) having a sheath (36), which includes a side wall enclosing an interior bore, and a distal region (16). The assembly also has a bendable catheter tube (12), which is carried for sliding movement in the interior bore. A pull wire (60) also runs through the interior bore of the sheath, preferably within a lumen. The catheter tube has a distal portion with a coupling (72) which joins the distal portion of the catheter tube and the distal portion of the pull wire. Relative movement of the pull wire and the sheath causes bending of the catheter tube outwardly through the opening, in response to sliding movement of the catheter tube within the interior bore toward the distal region of the sheath.

Abstract: A device comprising a flexible elongate member having proximal (72) and distal extremities (41). A flexible coil spring is provided having proximal and distal extremities. The proximal extremity of the coil spring is secured to the distal extremity of the flexible elongate member. A shape memory alloy element (46) is disposed within and extends substantially longitudinally of the coil spring (36). The shape memory alloy element has a memory which makes it attempt to assume a straight shape when an electrical current is passed through and heats the same. The shape memory alloy element (46) also has a stiffness which increases with the temperature of the element. An electrical current supply (67) is provided for supplying an electrical current to the shape memory alloy element for changing the stiffness of the shape memory alloy element to thereby stiffen the distal extremity of the flexible elongate member.

Abstract: This invention relates to a wig having a shape retaining member for preventing curving-up and distortion of a wig base. This shape retaining member (12) is made of a shape memory alloy having a transformation temperature (Af point) higher than the temperature of an ambient between the surface of the head of the user of the wig and the wig base when the wig (10) is fitted to the head, and is disposed at a predetermined position on the inner or outer surface of the wig base (11). When the shape retaining member gets corrugated in the course of use, it is heated to a temperature higher than the transformation temperature so that it regains the shape that is stored in advance. Therefore, the wig can be repeatedly fitted as if it were a new one.
