A medical device that includes a handle, a shaft extending distally from the handle, an end effector extending distally from the shaft, a first actuator movably coupled to the handle, and a second actuator movably coupled to the handle. The first actuator is configured to (1) articulate the shaft in response to translating the first actuator in a first direction relative to the handle and the second actuator, and (2) actuate the end effector in response to translating the first actuator in a second direction relative to the handle and the second actuator. The second actuator is configured to (1) articulate the shaft in response to translating the second actuator in the first direction relative to the handle and the first actuator, and (2) actuate the end effector in response to translating the second actuator in the second direction relative to the handle and the first actuator.

Medical articulation devices and methods of using the same

A system includes a clip, a first control member, and an adapter including a channel extending from a proximal end to a distal end. The clip includes a base portion mounted over a periphery of the adapter and arms extending distally from the portion. The arms are movable relative to one another between insertion and initial deployed configurations. The first member is releasably coupled to the portion and is movably connected to the adapter so that a longitudinal movement of the first member relative to the adapter moves the clip between the insertion configuration, the initial deployed configuration, and a review configuration. The first member is operable to retract the clip proximally over the adapter toward the insertion configuration so that the arms is forced open as the clip is retracted over the adapter freeing the clip from tissue on which it had been clipped.

Repositionable over the scope clip with compliant mechanism

A clipping system includes a clip, extending and control members and an endcap mounted on an insertion device. A planar body of the clip includes first and second cut-outs defining fingers. The control members slide within extending members to releasably couple to the clip so that movement the control members moves the clip between an insertion configuration, an initial deployed configuration and a review configuration in which the end cap is withdrawn proximally away from the clip to enhance visual observation of the clip. The control member is operable to retract the clip proximally over the end cap toward the insertion configuration so that the fingers are forced open as the clip is retracted over the end cap, freeing the clip from tissue on which it had been clipped to reposition the clip if necessary.

Repositionable over-the-scope clip with cancer seeding prevention in full tissue resection

A medical device system includes an insertion device and a medical device. The insertion device includes an insertion device handle, including a port on a handle body. The insertion device also includes an insertion device shaft extending from the insertion device handle. The insertion device shaft includes a working channel connected to the port. The medical device includes a medical device handle, including a movable handle portion and a stationary handle portion. The movable handle portion includes a ball portion movably positioned within a cavity in the stationary handle portion. The medical device also includes a medical device shaft. The medical device shaft is configured to be delivered through the port in the insertion device handle and through the working channel in the insertion device shaft. Movement of the movable handle portion relative to the stationary handle portion controls movement of a distal portion of the medical device shaft.

Medical systems, devices, and related methods

A clipping system includes an adapter, a clip and an extending member. The adapter mounted over an insertion device. The clip mounted over the adapter and includes first and second jaws connected to one another such that the jaws are movable between an insertion configuration and an initial deployed configuration. The first jaw includes a keyhole opening. The member coupled to the clip and adapter. The member includes a distal end releasably engaging the opening. The distal end has a width smaller than a width of a first portion of the opening and larger than a second portion of the opening so that, when a portion of the member proximal of the distal end is received within the second portion, the adapter is released from the clip while the member remains coupled to the clip. The member forces the clip open as the clip retracts over the adapter.

Repositionable over the scope clip

A medical device having multiple degrees of freedom independent of each other. The medical device includes a handle, an end effector, and a tubular section extending between the handle and the end effector. The end effector is configured to be rotated about a first axis extending through the tubular section without rotating the tubular section. And, the tubular section is configured to be rotated about the first axis with the end effector.

Medical device with multiple degrees of freedom and related methods

A medical device that includes a handle, a shaft extending distally from the handle, an end effector extending distally from the shaft, and a first actuator coupled to the handle and secured to a first wire. The first wire extends through the shaft, and the first actuator is configured to pivot relative to the shaft to pull the first wire proximally and to deflect the end effector relative to the shaft.

In one example, a medical device may include a handle including a proximal portion and a distal portion, and the proximal portion may pivot relative to the distal portion. The medical device may also include an insertion portion coupled to the distal portion of the handle and configured to be positioned within a body lumen; and an articulation wire extending from the handle through the insertion portion. Pivoting of the proximal portion of the handle relative to the distal portion of the handle may move the articulation wire relative to the insertion portion to bend a distal portion of the insertion portion.

A clipping system includes an adapter configured to be mounted over an insertion device and a clip including first and second jaws movable between an insertion configuration and an initial deployed configuration. A first extending member is releasably coupled to the clip and movably connected to the adapter to permit a movement of the clip relative to the adapter from the insertion configuration to the initial deployed configuration. The first extending member is configured to permit withdrawal of the adapter away from the clip to place the system in a review configuration to enhance a visual observation of the clip. The first extending member is operable to retract the clip over the adapter so that the clip is forced open, freeing the clip from tissue on which it has been clipped. The first extending member is configured to release the clip therefrom in a final deployed configuration.

A clipping system includes an adapter mounted on an insertion device and a clip including first and second jaws connected via hinges so that the first and second jaws are movable between an insertion configuration and an initial deployed configuration. A deployment member is configured to move the clip distally over and off of the adapter so that, as the clip leaves the adapter, the clip moves from the insertion configuration to the initial deployed configuration. An extending member is releasably coupled to the clip and movably connected to the adapter, and is configured to permit the withdrawal of the adapter away from the clip while the extending member remains coupled to the clip to place the system in a review configuration. The extending member is operable to retract the clip over the adapter, freeing the clip from tissue on which it had been clipped.
