straight
Vocabulary
Ligates and divides blood vessels automatically to help reduce operating tine and tissue manipulation.
LDS stapler
Vocabulary
Contains staples and forms a staple line and can be used for the transition and resection of soft tissue
TA articulating linear staple
Vocabulary
In a sterile, single-patient-use instrument that delivers staples while simultaneously dividing tissue between rows through a port
endoscopic stapler
Vocabulary
Used on smaller tubular structures such as arteries, veins, and nerves; appliers may be individually loaded with single clips or multiple clip cartridges
ligating clip instruments
Vocabulary
a multi-fire, single-patient-use device with a curved head that cuts and staples
contour curved cutter staple
Vocabulary
used to perform an end-to-end circular anastomosis through the anus and is attached to the anvil which is purse stringed at the distal end of the proximal bowel to be anastomosed
EEA
Vocabulary
Cartridges or stainless steel and titanium are generally used, though absorbable nonmetallic ones are available
staples
Vocabulary
Places one staple each time the instrument handles are activated; staples first penetrate the fascia to hold the tissue together
fascia stapler
Vocabulary
Is a sterile, single-patient-use instrument designed to deliver multi-directional release of stainless steel staples for routine wound closure
rotating-head skin stapler
Vocabulary
Is a single-patient-use instrument that simultaneously staples and divides tissue; may be used for transection, resection, and the creation of anastomoses
GIA linear cutter
Vocabulary
Provides two staggered rows of titanium staples in 33mm diameter size applied in the anal canal for transaction and resection of internal tissue
PPH
Vocabulary
Are manually operated instruments with detachable parts that must be assembled and loaded with disposable, color-coded cartridges
reusable stapler
Vocabulary
is a sterile, single-patient-use instrument designed to deliver rectangular, stainless steel staples for routine wound closure
fixed-head skin stapler
Vocabulary
intermediate locking mechanism provides for an easier, safer handling and one-handed closing, firing, and releasing of tissue
disposable stapler
Vocabulary
Sterile material prepared from the peritoneum of an ox and used in abdominal surgery to prevent the formation of adhesions
cargile membrane
Vocabulary
Obtained from cadaver and is freeze-dried and sterilized by exposure to ethylene oxide; used for defects in the diaphragm
human dura matter
Vocabulary
strips of fibers used as ligament replacement and for articular resurfacing
carbon fiber
Vocabulary
an inert polymer used for implants; can be used in many forms, such as gels, sponges, liquids, tubing films, or molded into anatomical structures
silicone
Vocabulary
temporarily covers an open defect in the skin and underlying tissue
biologic wound cover
Vocabulary
a sheet or band of fibrous connective tissue; is used in various different specialty areas to replace and support tissue defects
fascia lata
Vocabulary
enzymatically-treated bovine carotid arteries used to provide venous access to patients with poor blood vessels on hemodialysis
atriovenous shunts
Vocabulary
skin or tissue taken from one part of the patient’s body and grafted to another area of the body
autograft
Vocabulary
preserves and stores bone until needed
bone bank
Vocabulary
may be used as a skin subtle prepared from a layer of collagen from the dermis of a calf or pig then coated with autologous epithelium from the recipient
artificial skin
Vocabulary
strong, flexible material that can be molded or shaped to a desired configuration; used to support tubular structures, such as the fallopian tubes or the ureters during healing
polyethylene
Vocabulary
often used to cover full-thickness skin defect until permanent skin grafting can be performed
porcine dermis
Vocabulary
skin or tissue taken from an unmatched donor and grafted to an area of another person
allograft
Vocabulary
obtained from a human placenta to treat burns, skin ulcers, infected wounds, or to cover spina bifida defects
amniotic membrane
Vocabulary
a Teflon-type material that can be woven into a fabric or arterial grafts or molded into a solid shape for valves or joints
polytetrafluorethylene
Vocabulary
used to provide structural support to assist with regrowth or bone within a skeletal defect
bone graft
Vocabulary
this new technique involves cultured skin grafts rather than skin harvested from the patient
genetically engineered
Vocabulary
processed with porcine dermis to replace tissue loss to support tissue; can be used to replace the dura and as a fascia lata replacement
corium
Vocabulary
skin taken from a donor, typically a cadaver, and preserved by freezing to a cooling rate of 1.8 degrees to 9 degrees to -94 degrees until frozen
cryopreserved skin
Vocabulary
bone cement that can be shaped and molded to fit defect in bone or can be used to fixate metal prosthesis to the bone
methyl methacrylate
Vocabulary
uses glutaraldehyde tanning process to convert the umbilical vein into an inert, antithrombogenic graft that can be used for atrial reconstruction when the saphenous vein is not available
human umbilical cord vein grafts
Vocabulary
skin taken from a dissimilar specie to temporarily replace human tissue
xenograft
Vocabulary
processed from bovine graft and microfibrillar hemostatic powder and reconstructed into membranes or films
collagen
Vocabulary
used to stabilize bone or as implant for replacement of bone surfaces, such as in a total knee of hip arthroplasty
metal
