According to news reporting originating from Alexandria, Virginia, by NewsRx journalists, a patent by the inventors Beckman, Andrew T. (Cincinnati, OH, US), Markwardt, Neil (Redwood City, CA, US), Scheib, Charles J. (Loveland, OH, US), filed on June 18, 2020, was published online on February 13, 2024. The assignee for this patent, patent number 11896202, is Cilag GmbH International (Zug, Switzerland). Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Minimally invasive surgical (MIS) instruments are often preferred over traditional open surgical devices due to the reduced post-operative recovery time and minimal scarring. The most common MIS procedure may be endoscopy, and the most common form of endoscopy is laparoscopy, in which one or more small incisions are formed in the abdomen of a patient and a trocar is inserted through the incision to form a pathway that provides access to the abdominal cavity. The cannula and sealing system of the trocar are used to introduce various instruments and tools into the abdominal cavity, as well as to provide insufflation to elevate the abdominal wall above the organs. The instruments can be used to engage and/or treat tissue in a number of ways to achieve a diagnostic or therapeutic effect.
