Abstract: A medical grasper device (10) that is useful for holding and manipulating a body organ is described. Grasper device (10) is inserted into a body cavity through a cannula port and comprises a flexible strap (26) preferably made of a plastic material having traction formations, comprising openings (34, 34D), ridges (34C) or scalloped edges (34B) provided along the length of a holding section and serving to prevent the strap from releasing from a position encircling the organ. The strap is housed within a tube (12) that is provided with a handle (68). During the laparoscopic procedure, the strap is moved by hand or by suitable manipulation means out through the opposite, distal end (20) of the tube to define a loop (28) of adjustable size. The loop is thus useful for holding and manipulating body organs and body tissue.

Abstract: A tunneling tool for creating a pathway for implanting a therapy delivery element in a living body. The tunneling tool includes a malleable elongated shaft having a distal end. A sheath having a lumen is slidably positioned over a portion of the shaft. A primary handle secured to proximal end of the shaft permits a user to advance and manipulate the shaft and the sheath in the living body. A secondary handle with an opening is slidably positioned on the shaft between the primary handle and the sheath. The opening has a diameter less than an outside diameter of a proximal end of the sheath. A locking mechanism releasably engages the secondary handle to the primary handle. The sheath is retained in a desired location within the living body by securing the secondary handle relative to the living body as the primary handle is used to remove the shaft from the sheath.

Abstract: Lead extensions, systems, and methods providing MRI compatible deep brain stimulation (DBS) and spinal cord stimulation (SCS) systems are described. Lead extensions are provided having band stop filters (BSFs) which resonate at a frequency expected from MRI systems to create a very high impedance which can effectively decouple the implanted lead from the lead extension proximal of the BSF and change the effective length. Changing the effective length can reduce the likelihood of undesirably heating tissue near the DBS/SCS electrodes during MRI. Some lead extensions include BSFs in a distal connector for coupling to the lead contacts. The BSFs can be included within a burr hole cap base which can also include a connector for connecting to the DBS lead. DBS and SCS leads having a sacrificial proximal portion and intermediate electrical contacts are also provided.

Abstract: A band stop filter is provided for a lead wire of an active medical device (AMD). The band stop filter includes a capacitor in parallel with an inductor. The parallel capacitor and inductor are placed in series with the lead wire of the AMD, wherein values of capacitance and inductance are selected such that the band stop filter is resonant at a selected frequency. The Q of the inductor may be relatively maximized and the Q of the capacitor may be relatively minimized to reduce the overall Q of the band stop filter to attenuate current flow through the lead wire along a range of selected frequencies. In a preferred form, the band stop filter is integrated into a TIP and/or RING electrode for an active implantable medical device.
