Abstract
The endoscopy tool and methods of use disclosed herein are used to move gastrointestinal tissue. The endoscopy tool includes an auxiliary gastrointestinal device, or a catheter, having a proximal region and a distal region. The endoscopy tool includes a non-conductive, polymeric loop coupled to and extending distally from the distal end of the gastrointestinal device. The surfaces of the loop are smooth such that the loop can move intestinal tissue without causing lacerations.
