Abstract: A clipping system includes an adapter configured to be mounted over an insertion device and a clip including first and second jaws movable between an insertion configuration and an initial deployed configuration. A first extending member is releasably coupled to the clip and movably connected to the adapter to permit a movement of the clip relative to the adapter from the insertion configuration to the initial deployed configuration. The first extending member is configured to permit withdrawal of the adapter away from the clip to place the system in a review configuration to enhance a visual observation of the clip. The first extending member is operable to retract the clip over the adapter so that the clip is forced open, freeing the clip from tissue on which it has been clipped. The first extending member is configured to release the clip therefrom in a final deployed configuration.

Abstract: A system includes an adapter mounted over a distal end of an insertion device and an extending member. A clip mounted over the adapter includes jaws movable to separate from one another and, when the clip is moved off the adapter, to draw toward one another. The first member is releasably coupled to the clip, movably connected to the adapter and includes a clasp releasably coupling the clip to the first member via an engaging portion of one jaw to permit movement of the adapter relative to the clip while the first member remains coupled to the clip, enhancing visualization of the clip. The first member is operable to retract the clip proximally over the adapter so that the clip is forced open as the clip is retracted over the adapter freeing the clip from tissue on which it had been clipped.

Abstract: A clipping system includes an adapter, a clip and an extending member. The adapter mounted over an insertion device. The clip mounted over the adapter and includes first and second jaws connected to one another such that the jaws are movable between an insertion configuration and an initial deployed configuration. The first jaw includes a keyhole opening. The member coupled to the clip and adapter. The member includes a distal end releasably engaging the opening. The distal end has a width smaller than a width of a first portion of the opening and larger than a second portion of the opening so that, when a portion of the member proximal of the distal end is received within the second portion, the adapter is released from the clip while the member remains coupled to the clip. The member forces the clip open as the clip retracts over the adapter.

Abstract: A medical system includes an insertion device including a handle and a delivery portion, a laser fiber, a conductive wire, and a lock. The laser fiber extends through the insertion device and is coupled to a laser slider to control a position of the laser fiber relative to a distal end of the delivery portion. The conductive wire extends through the insertion device and is coupled to a wire slider to control a position of the laser fiber relative to a distal end of the delivery portion. The lock is positioned within the handle and is movable in order to selectively lock either the movement of the laser slider or lock the movement of the wire slider.

Abstract: A system for treating tissue includes a cap mounted over a distal end of an endoscope, a clip mountable over the cap and including first and second jaws movably connected to one another between an insertion configuration, in which the first and second jaws extend over the cap to receive a target tissue therebetween, a review configuration, in which at least a portion of the clip extends into a field of view of the optical system of an endoscope, and a deployed configuration in which the clip is moved distally off of the cap so that the first and second jaws are drawn toward one another. A control element is configured so that movement proximally through the cap via a first distance moves the clip from the insertion configuration to the review configuration and a second distance moves the clip from the review configuration to the deployed configuration.

Abstract: A clipping system includes an adapter and a clip. The adapter is mounted over a distal end of an insertion device to a distal end and has a first annular groove formed in a distal face of the adapter. The clip has a body; a central body having a coupling portion and a ring; and jaws having outer arms coupled to the body at an outer arm proximal end and inner arms disposed radially inward of the outer arms and coupled to the ring at an inner arm proximal end. The body includes an annular protrusion extending proximally from a proximal surface of the body. The protrusion is inserted into the first groove of the adapter to couple the clip to the adapter. Movement of the central body along an axis of the clip causes movement of the jaws between an insertion configuration and a deployment configuration.

Abstract: A clipping system includes a cap, a clip and a control member. The cap includes a channel extending therethrough. A proximal portion of the cap is mounted over the endoscope such that a distal portion of the cap extends distally past a distal end of an endoscope. The distal portion of the channel includes opposing surfaces therealong defining a tapered portion tapering from the distal end of the cap toward a proximal end. The clip is mounted within the cap. The clip includes jaws movably connected via hinges. At least one of the hinges is biased to move the jaws away from one another. The clip is movable relative to the cap between open and closed configurations. The control member longitudinally movable relative to the cap to move the clip between the open and closed configurations.

Abstract: A clipping system includes a cap configured to be mounted over a distal end of an endoscope. A clip mountable over the cap to move between an insertion configuration, in which first and second jaws extend over opposing portions of the cap so that the first and second jaws are separated from one another, a review configuration, in which the clip is moved distally relative to the cap so that a portion of the clip extends distally until at least a portion of the clip extends into a field of view of the optical system of an endoscope on which the cap is mounted, and a deployed configuration in which the clip is moved distally off of the clip so that the first and second jaws are drawn toward one another under the bias of the at least one hinge to close over tissue received therebetween.

Abstract: A clipping system includes an adapter mounted on an insertion device and a clip including first and second jaws connected via hinges so that the first and second jaws are movable between an insertion configuration and an initial deployed configuration. A deployment member is configured to move the clip distally over and off of the adapter so that, as the clip leaves the adapter, the clip moves from the insertion configuration to the initial deployed configuration. An extending member is releasably coupled to the clip and movably connected to the adapter, and is configured to permit the withdrawal of the adapter away from the clip while the extending member remains coupled to the clip to place the system in a review configuration. The extending member is operable to retract the clip over the adapter, freeing the clip from tissue on which it had been clipped.
