The distal end of the shaft may be configured to be inserted into the body. The device may include end effectors coupled to the distal end of the elongate shaft. The end effectors may include a needle pivotably coupled to the shaft and configured to inject a fluid into the tissue. The end effectors may also include an articulating arm pivotably coupled to the shaft, and a cutting wire extending between the needle and the arm.

Endoscopic tissue manipulation tool

A medical device for manipulating a portion of tissue. The device may have one or more opposing jaws. One of the jaws may be configured to be placed between the portion of tissue and an underlying portion of tissue, and have an orifice configured to direct a fluid towards a surface of the other jaw so as to move the portion of tissue towards the said other jaw. A fluid delivery channel may extend between the orifice and a fluid source. A switch may be operable to flow the fluid from the source, through the channel, and out of the orifice. Related methods are also disclosed.
