Abstract
A device is for facilitating an over-the-scope application of a tissue treating element and includes an end cap and control members. The cap includes a proximal portion mounted over a distal end of a scope device and a distal portion including flaps. The proximal portion extends along a longitudinal axis from a proximal end to a distal end and includes a proximal channel extending therethrough. A proximal end of each flap is pivotally connected to the distal end of the proximal portion so that the flaps are movable between a closed configuration and an expanded configuration. A distal end of each of the members is connected to a corresponding flap so that a longitudinal movement of the members relative to the proximal portion of the cap moves the flaps relative to the proximal portion between the closed and expanded configurations.
