Patent number: 11779196Abstract: Disclosed herein are intestine pleating attachable structures for use with endoscopes and methods for using said structures. The intestine pleating attachable structures may act in conjunction with a gastrointestinal endoscope and, optionally, a balloon to improve visualization during endoscopic procedures. The intestine pleating attachable structures are coupled to the endoscope shaft, and include at least one flexible appendage to enhance contact between the structure and the intestinal wall. When the endoscope is retracted, the flexible appendage assists in moving the intestinal wall relative to the imaging system. This movement causes the intestine to pleat. Pleating reduces looping, improves efficiency, and results in a less painful endoscopic procedure for the patient. The attachable structures may be used in conjunction with a dome-shaped balloon that is inflated at the distal, imaging end of the endoscope.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2019Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: VISUALIZATION BALLOONS, LLCInventor: Boris Reydel

Patent number: 10758117Abstract: Insufflation is currently considered to be a necessary part of an endoscopic procedure. However, it introduces risks and costs that would be beneficial to eliminate. The endoscopic assistance devices and methods disclosed herein facilitate the performance of endoscopic procedures without insufflation. The devices attach directly or indirectly to the distal end portion of the endoscope. One or more resilient, curved bars extend from the attachment point around an internal void space to form a resilient, curved cage that spreads tissue gently during the advance of the endoscope. The resilient, curved bars define the windows of the cage that enable the visualization of the internal anatomy via a lens on the distal face of the endoscope and the passage of treatment devices from the operative channel of the endoscope.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Endocages, LLCInventors: Boris Reydel, Sergey Kantsevoy

Publication number: 20170251917Abstract: Disclosed herein are intestine pleating methods and devices for use with gastrointestinal endoscopes. Devices include balloon access device, attachable structure(s), and an elongate overtube. Attachable structures may be used to pleat intestinal wall and to advance the endoscope past difficult to navigate areas. Balloon access device may be used to improve visualization of intestinal wall and to pleat intestinal wall. These systems may be used during airless endoscopic procedures that do not require insufflation of the intestinal cavity. The systems may be used during airless intubation procedures. To pleat the intestine, the practitioner inflates balloon to a fully or nearly fully inflated state when a difficult area is encountered. Inflation of the balloon to fully or nearly fully inflated state ensures contact with intestinal wall. Practitioner pulls back on the endoscope shaft to drag intestinal wall back toward the proximal opening of intestinal cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2015Publication date: September 7, 2017Inventor: Boris Reydel
