A medical device includes an operating member, a hub, and an end effector. The operating member includes an actuation portion. The hub includes a channel receiving the actuation portion of the operating member. The actuation portion of the operating member moves within the channel. The end effector is movable between a closed configuration and an open configuration. Distal extension of the operating member transitions the end effector to the open configuration, and proximal retraction of the operating member transitions the end effector to the closed configuration. The medical device is formed through an additive manufacturing process.

Medical devices and related methods

A method of manufacturing an elevator of a medical device comprises using an additive manufacturing method, forming a pivot portion at a proximal end of the elevator. The pivot portion tapers proximally such that a proximalmost end of the elevator is thinner than more distal portions of the pivot portion. The method further comprises using the additive manufacturing method, forming a body of the elevator that is distal to the pivot portion. The elevator body includes a surface configured to contact an instrument inserted in a working channel of the medical device.

Elevator components for medical devices

A device for aseptic delivery of biological material from a vial includes a tubular barrel, a filter assembly, and a dispersion assembly. The dispersion assembly is at least partially disposed within the tubular barrel. The dispersion assembly includes a dispersion element, a piston, and a one-way valve. The dispersion element is in fluid communication with the vial to disperse the biological material from the vial. The piston is disposed at the distal end of the dispersion assembly and is in sealing contact with the tubular barrel. The one-way valve forms a fluid passageway in fluid communication with the dispersion element and the tubular barrel. The one-way valve is configured to allow a flow of the dispersed biological material from the dispersion element, through the fluid passageway, and into the tubular barrel, and to prevent a flow of the dispersed biological material from the tubular barrel into the dispersion assembly.
