Abstract
A medical device that includes an outer shaft, an inner shaft disposed within the outer shaft, and a tube disposed within the inner shaft and the outer shaft. The medical device includes a first expandable member having a proximal end secured to the outer shaft and a distal end secured to the inner shaft. The inner shaft and the tube are received through the first expandable member. The first expandable member is configured such that the proximal end is movable relative to the distal end when the outer shaft moves relative to the inner shaft. The first expandable member is configured to radially expand when the proximal end moves toward the distal end and radially compress when the proximal end moves away from the distal end.
