  • Publication number: 20240148390
    Abstract: A device includes a clip including a capsule and a pair of clip arms, proximal ends of which are slidably received within a channel of the capsule to move the clip arms between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The clip arms are aligned relative to one another via a pin received within openings extending through proximal ends of the clip arms. A proximal portion includes a flexible shaft extending from a proximal end to a distal end including a bushing releasably coupled to the capsule. A control member extends longitudinally through the flexible shaft from a proximal end to a distal end releasably coupled to the proximal ends of the clip arms, the distal end of the control member including a pair of holding jaws, each of which include a pair of fingers extending about the pin along opposing sides thereof to grip the pin therebetween.

  • Publication number: 20240081799
    Abstract: A clipping device includes a capsule including a longitudinal body and a cap mounted over a distal end thereof so that the cap is movable relative to the longitudinal body from a pre-deployed configuration to a deployed configuration in which the cap, is moved proximally relative to the longitudinal body to reduce a length of the capsule. A channel of the cap and a channel of the capsule are substantially aligned with respect to one another. At least proximal portions of a pair of clip arms are received within the channels of the cap and the longitudinal body so that the clip arms are movable relative to the capsule between an open configuration, in which distal ends of the clip arms are separated from one another, and a closed configuration, in which the distal ends of the clip arms are drawn toward one another.

  • Publication number: 20220355024
    Abstract: A medical device that includes a body configured to store a first substance and a second substance, a shaft extending distally from the body and having a distal end, and a pressure source in fluid communication with the first substance, the second substance, and the shaft. Pressurized medium from the pressure source is configured to deliver the first substance through the shaft and out of the distal end, deliver the second substance through the shaft, separate from the first substance, and out of the distal end, and be delivered through the shaft separate from the first substance and the second substance, and out of the distal end. The pressurized medium mixes the first substance and the second substance externally of the shaft as the first and second substances exit the distal end.
