Various apparatuses to attach a first medical device to a second medical device are described that allow the physician to grasp only a single device while the other device remains securely attached to the one being grasped. The apparatuses, once they are attached to the first medical device, are designed to be easily and quickly attached and detached to a second medical device, normally only requiring the use of one hand. Furthermore, the apparatuses oftentimes include a base that can easily couple and decouple from the portion that is attached to the second medical device so that if the need arises to separately use the second medical device, it can be decoupled from the first medical device without completely removing the apparatus from the second medical device.

Attachment clamp

A medical device, configured for insertion into a body, may include an elongate member extending from a proximal end to a distal end, where the distal end may be configured to be positioned inside the body. The medical device may also include an imaging device positioned at the distal end. The medical device may further include a plurality of light sources positioned at the distal end, wherein a characteristic of light delivered through a first light source may be controlled independent of the characteristic of light delivered through a second light source.

Endoscopic system for enhanced visualization

A device includes an access cannula, a puncturing element, a handle. The access cannula includes a lumen extending therethrough. The access cannula is sized and shaped to extend through an endoscopic shaft to a target tissue within a living body. The puncturing element is sized and shaped to extend through the lumen of the access cannula and distally out a distal end of the access cannula. The handle includes a handle body and a mechanism for advancing the access cannula from a proximal position relative to the puncturing element, where a puncturing tip of the puncturing element is exposed distal to a distal end of the access cannula, to a distal position relative to the puncturing element, where the distal end of the access cannula covers the puncturing tip of the puncturing element.

Device, a system, and a method for access cannula advancement

A biopsy device may include a first jaw having a first distal tip configured to pierce tissue, and a second jaw movable relative to the first jaw between a closed configuration where the first jaw and the second jaw are axially aligned, and an open configuration where the first jaw and the second jaw are offset from one another, the second jaw having a second distal tip proximal to the first distal tip in the closed configuration.
