A medical capsule including an electrical circuit and an internal power source for selectively supplying the electrical circuit with electrical energy, wherein at least a photosensitive element is provided for initiating a supply of electrical energy to the electrical circuit when a light signal having a predetermined intensity is irradiated and the invention related to a system comprising a medical capsule in a package, and an extracorporeal device including a light source for emitting a light beam, wherein the package of the medical capsule is adapted and provided to be permeable for the predetermined intensity.

Medical capsule including an activation circuit

A tissue clip application fitting set or retrofitting set includes a cap attachment for placement on the distal head of a medical endoscope, which has a placement section and a tissue clip holding section. The cap attachment is notched at least at two angular positions forming at least two notches/slots/grooves. A working channel leads into the hollow chamber and exits the hollow chamber radially in a region distal to the placement section and proximal to the radially supported tissue clip. A first guiding or leading element is arranged after the working channel belonging to the retrofitting set, as seen in the distal direction. A corresponding second guiding or leading element is arranged within the hollow chamber at an angular distance from the first guiding or leading element so as to be oriented in extension to a working channel belonging to the endoscope.

Tissue clip application fitting/retrofitting set

A partly resorbable tissue clip for stapling tissue includes at least one gripping tooth that grips the tissue, at least one force deflecting element that is equipped with at least one gripping tooth, and at least one spring element that is connected to the at least one force deflecting element. The at least one gripping tooth or a portion of the at least one force deflecting element or of at least one of the force deflecting elements is made of bioresorbable material.

Partly resorbable tissue clip

The disclosure relates to a spacer in the form of an attachment () to be mounted to an endoscope (), said attachment being formed like a cap, enclosing a spatial volume () and being made of an insulating material. The attachment () is further equipped with a mounting device/adapter () designed to be coupled to a distal end of the endoscope (). The attachment () comprises an area () designed to be in contact with a target tissue and further forms an aperture () enclosing a surface area (). Within the spatial volume, there is arranged an electrode () comprising a distal () and a proximal () end, the distal () end of the electrode () having a predetermined minimum distance to the closest point of the surface area ().
