Abstract: An overtube device is disclosed as comprising, in at least one embodiment, a body having a proximal opening and an opposing distal opening in fluid communication with one another via a primary lumen formed within the body, the primary lumen configured for selective receipt and passage therethrough of an endoscope, and a secondary lumen formed within the body so as to intersect and be in fluid communication with the primary lumen and, thus, the distal opening. The secondary lumen is configured for selective engagement with a suction system and defines a suction port. With the distal end of the overtube device attached to the overtube and the suction system engaged with the suction port of the overtube device, suction applied via the suction system through the suction port is, in turn, capable of being applied to the overtube.

Abstract: The present specification discloses an overtube device having a proximal end and an opposite distal end configured for selective attachment to an overtube, the overtube device comprising a body having a proximal opening formed at the proximal end and an opposite distal opening formed at the distal end, the proximal and distal openings being in fluid communication, a primary lumen formed within the body interconnecting the proximal and distal openings, the primary lumen being configured for selective receipt and passage therethrough of an endoscope, and a secondary lumen formed within the body so as to intersect and be in fluid communication with the primary lumen and thus the distal opening, the secondary lumen being configured for selective engagement with a suction system and thus defining a suction port, whereby with the distal end of the overtube device attached to the overtube and with the suction system engaged with the suction port of the overtube device, suction applied via the suction system through

Abstract: The present specification discloses an endoscope device comprising a body having a proximal opening in communication with an opposite distal opening, and the body having a nose substantially about the distal opening, a primary lumen or blockage receiving lumen formed within the body through which suction is selectively applied, the primary lumen being contiguous with the distal opening, and a secondary lumen or endoscope receiving lumen formed within the body so as to be in communication with the primary lumen, the secondary lumen being contiguous with the proximal opening and configured for receipt of an endoscope, whereby suction applied through a suction port of the endoscope when positioned in the secondary lumen applies suction to the primary lumen.
