Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for cutting mucosal tissue. In particular, the present disclosure provides an endoscopic hood with an integrated wire for single-step tissue cutting. The endoscopic hood is particularly useful for performing repeated cutting, for example EMR resections, without the need for assistance by a nurse or medical technician.
