Patent number: 11399821Abstract: A control handle for use with a suture device operable through an endoscope includes a grip attachment configured to be secured to an endoscope and a control housing operably secured to the grip attachment. A catheter housing is moveably disposed within the control housing and adapted to releasably secure the suture catheter such that translation of the catheter housing causes translation of the suture catheter. A lever is rotatably securable relative to the catheter housing such that rotation of the lever relative to the catheter housing causes the catheter housing to move relative to the control housing. A sliding tab is disposed relative to the lever such that movement of the sliding tab relative to the lever causes the suture catheter to translate relative to the control wire disposed within the suture catheter.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2019Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed Inc.Inventors: Christopher R. Deuel, Shaun D. Comee, Kevin Windheuser, Todd M. Pfizenmaier, Briana J. Moretti, Stan Gilbert, Thomas Jones, Ashrita Raghuram, Andrew Jones, Evan Hunter Williams, Brian Yoo

Publication number: 20220167965Abstract: A suture assembly includes a translation assembly that is axially translatable within a working channel of an endoscope and is adapted to releasably secure and/or release a needle and a distal end cap that is securable to an end of the endoscope and is adapted to releasably secure and/or release the needle in order to pass the needle back and forth between the translation assembly and the distal cap. An attachment mechanism configured to releasably secure the distal endcap to an end of the endoscope.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2022Publication date: June 2, 2022Applicant: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: KEVIN WINDHEUSER, SHAUN D. COMEE, CHRISTOPHER R. DEUEL, STAN GILBERT, THOMAS JONES, BRIANA J. MORETTI, ASHRITA RAGHURAM
