International Classification:

A61B 18/14
A61B 17/3205

Abstract:

A medical device may include a handle, a sheath fixed relative to the handle, a longitudinal actuator movable relative to the handle, an end effector, a member extending proximally from the end effector through the sheath, with a portion of the member being fixed relative to the longitudinal actuator, and a rotation actuator. Movement of the rotation actuator may cause rotation of the member relative to the sheath, and movement of the longitudinal actuator may cause longitudinal movement of the member relative to the rotation actuator.

Abstract:

A device and system for treating tissue includes an anchoring element at a distal end thereof for anchoring the device in a target portion of tissue and a coupling element with a magnet. The anchoring element and the coupling element are coupled to one another by a tether so that, when the anchor element is anchored in a target portion of tissue, the tether passes through the portion of tissue and the coupling element remains outside the portion of tissue. The closing device is configured to couple to a second closing device comprising a second anchoring element tethered to a second coupling element with a magnet to hold the target portion of tissue in a desired location relative to one another.

International Classification:

A61B 17/122
A61B 17/128

Abstract:

A device for causing hemostasis includes an elongated body extending from a first end to a second end, a first clipping anchor coupled to the first end of the elongated body and being movable between a radially contracted insertion configuration and a radially expanded tissue engagement configuration and a second clipping anchor coupled to the second end of the elongated body and being movable between a radially contracted insertion configuration and a radially expanded tissue engagement configuration. The first clipping anchor is movable along a longitudinal axis of the elongated body one of toward and away from the second clipping anchor.
