International Classification:

A61F 2/915
A61F 2/07
A61F 2/88

Abstract:

Devices, systems, and methods for delivering targeted therapy to tissue at a treatment site with the use of a stent. The targeted therapy may include a functional and/or therapeutic agent separate from the stent, or a component of a functional and/or therapeutic agent separate from the stent and reactive with another component of a functional and/or therapeutic agent on the stent. The agent or component of an agent may be delivered with the stent, and/or before delivery of the stent, and/or after the stent has been delivered.

International Classification:

A61B 1/00
A61B 1/015
F16K 21/20

Abstract:

Various embodiments are generally directed to devices, systems, and methods for controlling the flow of fluids in endoscopic systems, such as endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) endoscopes. Some embodiments are particularly directed to valve sets and/or valve interface mechanisms for controlling air, water, and/or suction flow through a valve well for an endoscopic system. Several embodiments are directed to user interface mechanisms and techniques for enabling an operator to interact with and control endoscope valves. Many embodiments are directed to mechanisms and techniques for translating interface input motion into valve control motions. In one or more embodiments, the valve sets and/or valve interface mechanisms may be disposable.
