A medical apparatus includes a scanner for generating raw image data of internal tissue structures of a patient, and a computer operatively connected to the scanner and programmed to derive a three-dimensional electronic map or model of the internal tissue structures from the raw data. An image reproduction device is operatively connected to the computer for reproducing the map or model in a visually readable format. The computer controls the image reproduction device to reproduce the map or model. The visually readable format includes graphical representations of the tissue structures alignable on a skin surface of the patient with the tissue structures. In use, a medical practitioner inserts a sharp instrument into a patient through the reproduced map, using the map as a locator assist.

In an endoscopic or laparoscopic instrument assembly, an elongate tubular instrument guide is inserted into a biopsy channel of an endoscope or laparoscope. The tubular instrument guide is provided with a distal end portion having a spring bias tending to form the distal end portion into an arcuate configuration. The tubular instrument guide is longitudinally slidable in the biopsy channel, whereby the distal end portion may be alternately maintained in a relatively straightened configuration in a distal end of the biopsy channel and moved outside of the biopsy channel to assume the arcuate configuration. An elongate flexible endoscopic or laparoscopic instrument is slidably inserted into the tubular instrument guide so that an operative tip at a distal end of the instrument may project outwardly from the distal end portion upon an ejection of at least a part of the distal end portion of the tubular instrument guide from the biopsy channel.

A method for obtaining a biopsy uses an instrument assembly which includes an elongate tubular member having a distal end portion defining a specimen-receiving chamber, the instrument assembly being provided at a distal end with a cutting blade extending in a plane oriented substantially transversely with respect to the tubular member. The distal end portion of the tubular member is inserted into organic tissues of a patient so that some of the tissues enter the chamber. Upon sufficient insertion of the distal end portion of the tubular member into the organic tissues of the patient, the blade is moved in the transverse plane to thereby sever the tissues in the chamber from tissues outside the chamber. Upon shifting of the blade to sever the tissues in the specimen-receiving chamber, the distal end portion of the tubular member is removed from the patient, together with the severed tissue sample.

An endovascular bypass graft includes a tubular member, a first expandable mesh stent attached to one end of the tubular member, and a second expandable mesh stent attached to an opposite end of the tubular member. The second stent is provided with a plurality of fenestrations. The graft is inserted into a principal blood vessel such as the aorta and positioned in the vessel so that the fenestrations are aligned with junctions with ancillary blood vessels. The graft is attached to the principal blood vessel so that the fenestrations remain aligned with the respective junctions, thereby allowing blood flow between the principal vessel and the auxiliary vessels through the respective junctions upon completion of the bypass operation.

A clothing material comprises a first fabric layer connected to a tear-resistant second layer. The second layer includes a plurality of first threads extending generally parallel to one another in a first direction and a plurality of second threads extending generally parallel to one another in a second direction different from the first direction. The threads all extend substantially in a common plane. The first threads are all connected to each of the second threads at cross-over points between the first threads and the second threads. A third layer of fabric is attached to the second layer of the material on a side thereof opposite the first layer. The threads of the intermediate, tear-resistant layer may be interconnected by a plurality of connecting thread segments tied in knots about the cross-over points.

A guitar case has a casing frame including a plurality of inflatable bladders for defining a compartment for receiving a guitar and for resiliently supporting the guitar placed in the compartment. The bladders when inflated or expanded substantially surround and grip the guitar in the compartment. The bladders are releasably connected to one another along their peripheries, by a zipper or by VELCRO. TM. type loop and hook fasteners. The two halves of the inflatable guitar case may be completely separable. In that case, at least one of the bladders is provided with a shelf for supporting the guitar and with a stand element for supporting the bladder and the guitar in an upright orientation. The guitar case may be a stand-alone case and in that event is provided with a handle or hand grip for facilitating manual transport of the case and the guitar therein. Alternatively, the above-described guitar case may function as a liner to be inserted in a conventional guitar case with rigid or semirigid panels.

In a method in aortic surgery where the aorta of a patient is cut longitudinally to insert a prosthetic vessel or graft to bypass or remove an aneurysm, a plurality of closure elements or plugs are inserted into respective arterial tributaries, and particularly into their openings in the aortic wall, to stop blood backflow from the tributaries, thereby stemming blood loss during the surgery. The closure elements are provided with catch elements such as screw threads or shoulders for prventing inadvertant removal of the plugs from the tributaries. A recess or other element is provided at one end of the closure elements for receiving the operative head of a screwdriver or other tool to facilitate insertion of the closure elements into the branching blood vessels.

In a method for removing a myoma, an antenna electrode is placed into a patient so that the antenna electrode is in contact with the patient's uterus. A cutting electrode is also inserted into the patient and placed into contact with uterine tissues about a myoma. The antenna electrode and the cutting electrode are energized with radio frequency energy so that the cutting electrode cuts through the uterine tissues.
