A tissue traction device having more than one grasping segment by which the tissue traction device may be engaged with tissue directly, or indirectly, such as with the use of a tissue-engagement member. The tissue traction device may have a peripheral section defining grasping segments, as well as interior grasping segments defined within the perimeter of the peripheral section. Traction may be applied to a target tissue by engaging a target-tissue-engaging segment with target tissue, and engaging a traction-tissue-engaging segment with traction tissue spaced apart from the target tissue. Engagement of additional target-tissue-engaging segments with traction tissue (optionally at different locations) allows the force vector of the traction to be adjusted. A delivery system may include tissue traction device holder to maintain a desired configuration of the tissue traction device during delivery thereof to a target tissue area.

Tissue traction devices, systems, and methods, and devices, systems, and methods for delivery thereof

An endoscopic tissue fastening device may include a body having a first portion and a second portion arranged alongside the first portion. The second portion may extend distally of the first portion and may terminate in a distal end face of the body. The device may further include a tissue fastening assembly having a fastening head with a proximal end and a distal end. The fastening head may be deflectable at a location between the proximal end and the distal end of the fastening head. The tissue fastening assembly may be received within a lumen of the body. Further, the body may be moveable between an unarticulated configuration and an articulated configuration. In the articulated configuration, a central longitudinal axis of the second portion of the body may be substantially parallel with a central longitudinal axis of the tissue fastening assembly.

Systems, devices, and related methods for fastening tissue

Methods for draining pseudocysts and stent delivery systems for use therein are disclosed. An illustrative system may include a catheter shaft having an inflatable balloon affixed to a distal end region thereof. A cutting electrode may be disposed at the distal end of the system and at least one heating electrode may be disposed within the inflatable balloon. A self expandable stent may be disposed about the inflatable balloon. The stent may be formed of a shape memory polymer. The inflation fluid may be heated within the balloon to facilitate expansion of the stent.

Catheter with radiofrequency cutting tip and heated balloon

A device for fastening tissue includes (a) a shaft extending longitudinally from a distal end insertable into a body to a proximal end attached to a controller which remains outside of the body, the shaft including a lumen extending therethrough and an opening extending through a wall of a distal portion thereof to open the lumen to an exterior of the shaft; (b) a first roller housed within the lumen adjacent to a first longitudinal edge of the opening such that a rotation of the first roller grasps and draws tissue from the body into the lumen in combination; and (c) a fastening element housed within the lumen adjacent to the opening and movable from a tissue receiving configuration to a tissue gripping configuration.

Tissue closure

Devices for palliating gastrointestinal strictures using rapid exchange type enteral stent placement catheters. The catheter may include an inner member and an outer member, with the two members being slidable with respect to one another. In various device embodiments, a ramp for directing a guidewire out from within the catheter is provided using portions of the outer member or a shaped mandrel. The inner member may take a number of forms, including a tubular distal portion, a skived or integrally attached elongate midsection, and a proximal portion. A mandrel can be used in a portion proximal of the guidewire ramp, with the mandrel taking one of several disclosed forms.

Rapid exchange enteral stent delivery system

A stent for repairing post-anastomasis (e.g., bariatric) surgery leaks is formed by an elongated tube having a proximal flare-shaped flange, an enlarged middle section, and a distal flare-shaped flange, where an exterior surface of the elongated tube is substantially covered with a polymer.

Stent for repair of anastomasis surgery leaks

A medical device includes a shaft including a lumen configured to direct a flow of fluid through the shaft and an electrode. A proximal end of the electrode and a distal end of the shaft form a coupling configured to releasably couple the proximal end of the electrode with the distal end of the shaft. When the proximal end of the electrode is coupled to the distal end of the shaft, fluid delivered through the lumen is emitted from the electrode.

Medical devices and related methods

A stent, the stent including a first coating composition disposed on at least a portion of the outer surface of the stent, the first coating composition having at least one bioadhesive and a second coating composition disposed over the first coating composition, the second coating composition having at least one biodegradable polymer, and methods of making and using the same.

Adhesive stent coating for anti-migration

An apparatus for deployment of a hemostatic clip includes a clip assembly releasably coupled to a distal portion of a shaft, wherein the clip assembly includes a capsule releasably coupled to the shaft, clip arms slidably received within the capsule and cooperating with the capsule to provide a first user feedback indicating a decision configuration of the clip assembly and a yoke slidably received within the capsule, the yoke including proximal and distal portions releasably and rotatably connected to one another via a first control wire, a distal end of the distal portion being connected to proximal ends of the clip arms. A second control wire extends from the handle assembly and is coupled to a proximal end of the second portion to move the clip assembly between open and closed configurations.

Through the scope tension member release clip

The deployment device includes at least one sheath, a dilation balloon, a transparent tip extending between the at least one sheath and the dilation balloon, a prosthesis, an inner tubular member and a camera to allow visualization of the stricture and prosthesis prior, during, and after deployment without the use of an endoscope. The sheath includes a camera extending from one end.
