Patent number: 11992217Abstract: A device includes a capsule extending longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end and including a channel extending therethrough. The capsule is releasably coupled to a proximal portion of the device. Device also includes a first arm rigidly fixed to the distal end of the capsule to extend distally therefrom. In addition, Device includes a second arm, a proximal end of which is slidably received within the capsule so that the second arm is movable between an open configuration, in which the second arm is moved laterally away from the first arm and a distal end of the second arm is moved distally past the distal end of the first arm, and a closed configuration, in which the second arm is moved toward the first arm and the distal end of the second arm is moved proximally toward the distal end of the first arm.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2022Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Paul Smith, Matthew R. Jagelski, Narunn Suon, Kevin J. McElwee, Shawn Ryan, Alex Sekulic
