A device and assembly for a cleaning adapter to be placed in an air/water port of an endoscopic device is described. The device can have a button to control a valve stem with openings to permit the control of air and water flow, depending on the position of the cleaning adapter, which a user controls. A method and system are also described. A tag is also described, instructing the users of the proper use of the device.

Air/water channel pre-cleaning adapter

The present subject matter provides improvements of endoscopic retrieving devices. In specific, the present subject matter provides a net element with an extra wide tail section. The present subject matter provides a new weaving pattern. The present subject matter provides a new shape of the loop. The present subject matter provides a net with a combination of net elements, such as combinations of different net geometries and/or different net materials. The present subject matter provides a new and inventive loop. The present subject matter provides an improved second end of the tubular member. The present subject matter provides a new and inventive arm.

Retrieval device

An endoscopic device, includes a clip assembly and a driving assembly. The clip assembly includes a first jaw, a second jaw, a pivot, a housing having an internal channel, and a release portion connecting to the first and second jaws. At least a portion of the first and second jaws is disposed within the internal channel, the first and second jaws selectively move along with the internal channel. The driving assembly includes an outer sheath, an inner tube, movably disposed within the outer sheath, and a driver, movably disposed within the inner tube, and removably received within the release portion. The driver is unbrokenly released from the release portion by a predetermined pull force. The housing and the outer sheath form a releasable handshake engagement. The inner tube extending into the housing prevents the handshake engagement from disengaging.

Clip and clip assembly

A device and assembly for ligating a target tissue to restrict blood flow to the tissue, where the device is a ligating device that is irreversibly tightened by a cinch component. The device further has a hook to hold the ligating element on a delivery tool. The ligating element can be a continuous loop or can be a clip and can be repositionable until the cinch is used to tighten it. The cinch holds the ligating device on the loop while being positioned, and then secures the ligating device once it is positioned around target tissue to which a user desires to restrict blood flow. A method of using the assembly includes an actuator assembly, drive wire, and pusher element to manipulate the ligating device and cinch component.

Cinch ligating assembly

The present subject matter discloses a tissue removal tool for use with an endoscope. The tool comprises a loop formed by a piece of wire and movable between an open position and a closed position, and a transmitting assembly comprising: a handle; and a link having a first end attached to the handle and a second end attached to the loop, the loop portion being movable between the open and closed position by action of the handle. The loop is defined in the open position by a proximal portion and a distal portion. The widest portion of the loop is more proximal to a proximal end of the loop than the mid-point of the length of the loop is.

Endoscopic snare device

Tip protector

An endoscopic device for retrieving an object from within a human body is disclosed. The device includes a support assembly, a transmitting assembly, a wire, and a net element. The support assembly has a base and a tubular member. The transmitting assembly includes a handle and a motion transmitting link fixed to the handle and extending through at least a portion of the tubular member. The wire defines a loop portion and two leg portions. A proximal end of each leg portion is secured to the link by a first connection and the two leg portions are secured to each other by at least a second connection distal from the first connection. The net element has a distally protruding portion secured to the loop portion and a proximally protruding portion secured relative to the leg portions.

A sports training apparatus for practicing lacrosse comprising an elongate rigid member extending along a length between first and second ends, first and second stops secured to the elongate rigid member, and a slidable mass on the elongate rigid member, slidable along the elongate rigid member between the first and second stops. A kit for retrofitting a lacrosse stick for practicing lacrosse comprising first and second stops, securable to a lacrosse stick; and a slidable mass, having a passage along an axis there through. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Lacrosse Training Device

Polyp trap assembly

A cleaning device for use with an endoscope. The device includes an elongated and flexible base and a set of discs axially spaced along the base. Each disc is positioned along the base at a center point of the disc. The size and spacing of the discs may vary within the set of discs.

Cleaning device for an endoscopic device

An overtube device for use in intubation during an endoscopic procedure is disclosed. The device includes an outer tube and an inner tube. The outer tube includes a distal end, a proximal end, and a first handle disposed on the proximal end. The inner tube includes a distal end, a proximal end, and a second handle disposed on the proximal end. The inner tube is inserted through an entire length of the outer tube such that the inner tube extends beyond the outer tube. At the proximal end of the device, a proximal end of the first handle is connected to a distal end of the second handle. When the inner tube is co-axially inserted within the outer tube, a clearance exists between a length of the inner and outer tubes, and between a length of the inner tube and the endoscope. Methods of use are disclosed.
