A tissue repair device, system, and method for grasping tissue, such as to repair the tissue (e.g., a defect in tissue), by anchoring a tissue-penetrating arm along a first location along the tissue, moving the anchored tissue-penetrating arm to a second location along the tissue, and grasping tissue at the second location with a tissue-grasping arm. The tissue-penetrating arm remains in a substantially axial straight configuration to facilitate tissue penetration. The tissue-grasping arm is movable towards and away from the tissue-penetrating arm to grasp tissue and hold the grasped tissue between the tissue-grasping arm and the tissue-penetrating arm. The tissue repair device may be left in place holding the tissue in the grasped configuration.

Device, systems, and methods for grasping tissue at a muscular level

A medical device includes a longitudinal portion with one or more tubes, a distal portion with one or more arms, and one or more actuation mechanisms. The one or more arms each includes an arm lumen. Each arm lumen is connected to a respective tube, and at least one of the longitudinal portion and the distal portion is configured to be coupled to a distal end of an insertion device. The one or actuation mechanisms are movable to transition one or more arms from a closed configuration to an open configuration.

Medical systems, devices, and related methods

A medical dispensing device which includes a catheter, an applicator tip at a distal end of the catheter, the catheter and the applicator tip defining a lumen having a longitudinal axis and a distal opening, a plunger in the lumen and movable along the longitudinal axis, and a plurality of elements in the lumen proximal to the distal opening and distal to the plunger, the plurality of elements stacked along the longitudinal axis for dispersement of one element at a time through the distal opening via a force applied by the plunger.

Endoscopic applicator with reagent ball cutter

A device for treating tissue includes a capsule defining a channel extending therethrough and clip arms. Each of the arms includes a proximal part releasably coupled to a distal part, a proximal portion of the distal part configured to be received within the channel of the capsule so that the arms move proximally and distally relative to the capsule between a tissue receiving configuration, in which distal ends of the arms are separated from one another, and a tissue clipping configuration, in which distal ends of the arms are moved toward one another. The proximal portion of each of the arms is configured to release from the corresponding distal part to lock the distal part of each of the arms over a portion of target tissue to be clipped while the proximal parts of the arms are removed from the body.

Hemostasis clip

A tissue-manipulating system including a tissue-manipulating device having shaft and a tissue grasper assembly. The tissue grasper assembly has at least one grasper arm resiliently expandable from a closed configuration, within and extending along the longitudinal axis of a shaft, to an open configuration outside the shaft with the grasper arm expanded in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. In the open configuration, the at least one grasper arm may be engaged with tissue wall to manipulate or move the tissue wall, such as to move a distal tissue wall closer to a proximal tissue wall. The tissue grasper assembly may be deployable (such as by being separated from the shaft), such as to remain in place holding two tissue walls in apposition.

Grappling systems and methods for lumen apposition or wound defects

An accessory device for an endoscope includes a cap attached to a shaft of the endoscope, the cap extending along a first axis, a first tip coupled to the cap and movable relative to the cap between a deployed configuration and a non-deployed configuration, and a first shaft defining a lumen and extending proximally from the first tip. In the deployed configuration, the first tip extends along a second axis that is offset from the first axis, and in the non-deployed configuration, the first tip extends along a third axis that is offset from the first axis.

Endoscope lumen accessory and methods of use

Endoscopic patch applicator

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

Device for treating tissue

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.

Dual support jaw design

A device for treating tissue includes a capsule defining a channel extending therethrough and clip arms. Each of the arms includes a proximal part releasably coupled to a distal part, a proximal portion of the distal part configured to be received within the channel of the capsule so that the arms move proximally and distally relative to the capsule between a tissue receiving configuration, in which distal ends of the arms are separated from one another, and a tissue clipping configuration, in which distal ends of the arms are moved toward one another. The proximal portion of each of the arms is configured to release from the corresponding distal part to lock the distal part of each of the arms over a portion of target tissue to be clipped while the proximal parts of the alms are removed from the body.
