Abstract
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.
