A device includes a handle, a shaft and a steering mechanism. The handle includes a first actuator for an end effector. The shaft extends from the handle and sized and shaped to pass through a working channel of an endoscope. A distal end of the shaft includes the end effector. A pull wire extends from the handle to the end effector for actuating the end effector. The mechanism includes a second actuator for bending the distal end relative to a longitudinal axis of the shaft. The mechanism includes a first steering wheel having a first steering wire extending therefrom to the distal end of the shaft. Rotating the second actuator rotates the first steering wheel and tensions the first steering wire to bend the shaft, the pull wire for the end effector remaining actuatable when the distal end is bent.

Steerable rotational hemostasis clip

A device includes a housing having a first opening for receiving tissue therein and a distal head disposed at least partly within the housing. The distal head is configured to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the distal head. The device also includes a first holding member coupled to the housing and a second holding member coupled to the distal head. The first and second holding members are configured so that rotating the distal head stretches a first ligation band coupled to the first and second holding members, permitting tissue drawn into the first opening to pass through an opening of the first ligation band.

Multiple band ligation

A device for treating tissue including a capsule including a channel extending therethrough; clip arms extending from a proximal end to a distal end, proximal ends received within the channel to be moved between a tissue receiving configuration, in which distal ends of the arms are separated, and a tissue clipping configuration, in which distal ends of the arms are moved toward one another, the arms including proximal and distal portions, the proximal portion including longitudinal legs extending from the proximal end to the distal portion, a plane of the legs being rotated about a longitudinal axis of the arms from a plane including the distal portion; and a yoke including proximal and distal portions, the distal portion being releasably coupled to the clip legs via a pin, the pin is inserted through the distal portion.
