Abstract
A compression and ligation device includes a pair of jaws including one or more Doppler chips oriented to send and receive Doppler signals across the jaws, to assist a practitioner in determining whether or not a uterine artery is between the jaws. A suture leader with an attached suture can be pushed through a channel on one of the jaws, through tissue behind the uterine artery, into another channel on the other jaw, and proximally out the device so that the practitioner can ligate the artery and effect hemostasis.

a second jaw having a distal end and a second distal end face;
a pivot, the first jaw and the second jaw movably attached at the pivot;
wherein the first and second jaws are configured and arranged so that when the first and second jaws are pivoted relative to each other at the pivot in a first direction to a relatively closed orientation, the first and second distal end faces are oriented toward each other; and at least one Doppler crystal mounted in one of the first or second distal end faces, the at least one Doppler crystal having a direction of view, the direction of view being toward the other of the first and second distal end face in the relatively closed orientation.
2. A device in accordance with Claim 1, wherein the at least one Doppler crystal is releasably mounted in the one of the first and second distal end faces.
3. A device in accordance with Claim 1, wherein the at least one Doppler crystal is integrally formed in the one of the first and second distal end faces.
4. A device in accordance with Claim 1, wherein the at least one Doppler crystal comprises at least one Doppler crystal mounted in each of the first and second distal end faces.
5. A device in accordance with Claim 1, wherein the at least one Doppler crystal comprises a plurality of Doppler crystals mounted in each of the first and second distal end faces.
6. A device in accordance with Claim 1, wherein the at least one Doppler crystal comprises a plurality of Doppler crystals mounted in the one of the first and second distal end faces.
7. A device in accordance with Claim 1, further comprising:
a first guide channel formed on the first jaw, the first guide channel having a proximal opening, a distal opening, and a lumen extending between the proximal and distal openings; and a second guide channel formed on the second jaw, the second guide channel having a proximal opening, a distal opening, and a lumen extending between the proximal and distal openings.
a first guide channel formed on the first jaw, the first guide channel having a proximal opening, a distal opening, and a lumen extending between the proximal and distal openings; and a second guide channel formed on the second jaw, the second guide channel having a proximal opening, a distal opening, and a lumen extending between the proximal and distal openings.
g. A device in accordance with Claim 7, wherein the first guide channel distal opening and the second guide channel distal opening are oriented toward each other when the device is in the relatively closed orientation.
9. A device in accordance with Claim 7, further comprising:
