The ophthalmic surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein said respective pointed sharp end of said first helical coil structure and said second helical coil structure are configured to grasp and hold firmly and steadily the cataract lens within the human ocular lens capsule during the cataract surgery for reducing human ocular lens movement of said cataract lens within the human ocular lens capsule, for preventing said cataract lens from producing heat during the cataract removal surgery. The ophthalmic surgical instrument includes a pointed sharp end of the helical coil structure for grasping the human ocular lens without producing heat during the cataract removal surgery for avoiding corneal endothelium heat damage during a cataract removal surgery. The ophthalmic surgical instrument further may also include a connection with a phacoemulsification device for performing phacoemulsification of the cataract to break the cataract into smaller pieces, thereby facilitating removal of a cataract from a human ocular lens capsule. The ophthalmic surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein said respective sharp pointed end of said first helical coil structure and said second helical coil structure are configured to grasp the cataract lens for permitting a phacoemulsification cutting device to cut the cataract lens for performing phacoemulsification of a cataract to break the cataract lens into two or more pieces, thereby facilitating removal of said cataract lens from a human ocular lens capsule.

A patent application has been published for a new thrombectomy device invented by Mark Bruzzi, John Egan, Shane Molloy, and Con O'Brien. The device is designed to remove blood clots from the body and addresses the limitations of existing devices. It incorporates features like a helical coil and a rotation mechanism to improve its performance. The article discusses the potential impact of this device on medical treatments and emphasizes its relevance to the field of health and medicine. [Extracted from the article]

A patent application titled "Fracture Resistant Stimulation Lead" has been published online. The inventors have developed a stimulation lead that can be temporarily implanted to deliver stimulation to a nerve. The lead is designed to be flexible enough to move with the patient but rigid enough to remain in place without fracturing. It includes multiple filar wires with different windings and insulation, as well as an anchor that does not have a helical coil structure. The lead can be implanted and removed without surgical intervention and has a greater resistance to fracturing. [Extracted from the article]

A patent application has been submitted for a suture anchor designed for minimally invasive heart valve repair. The anchor is intended to be implanted into the heart wall to anchor a suture that extends from a valve leaflet as an artificial chordae. The anchor assembly includes an anchor hub, a helical coil, a spring crimp, and a locking element. This invention aims to provide a less invasive alternative to traditional open-heart surgery for mitral valve regurgitation repair, reducing trauma, complications, and recovery time for patients.
