Patent number: 9661984Abstract: A surgical instrument includes a hollow member having a sidewall provided with a window and a closure member movably connected to the hollow member for alternately covering and uncovering the window. The hollow member has a first clamping surface along an edge of the window, while the closure member has a second clamping surface opposing the first clamping surface and disposable substantially adjacent thereto in a clamping or closure configuration of the instrument. The instrument additionally comprises a tissue occlusion component mounted to at least one of the hollow member and the closure member for acting on tissues gripped between the first clamping surface and the second clamping surface, to couple the tissues to each other.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2014Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: Macroplata, Inc.Inventor: Gregory Piskun

Publication number: 20170079636Abstract: A system for performing minimally invasive procedures in a body lumen of a patient including a flexible catheter having a first lumen configured and dimensioned to receive an endoscope therethrough and a second lumen configured and dimensioned to receive a first flexible tube therethrough. The first flexible tube is movable through the second lumen and has a distal portion including a first curve extending in a first direction with respect to the longitudinal axis and a second curve extending in a second different direction with respect to the longitudinal axis. A retractor system is positioned at a distal portion of the catheter and is movable from a non-expanded insertion position to an expanded position forming an expanded cage to form a larger working space. The distal portion of the first flexible tube is movable within the expanded cage.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2016Publication date: March 23, 2017Applicant: Macroplata, Inc.Inventors: GREGORY PISKUN, John To, Brian Tang, Mariel Fabro

Publication number: 20160374658Abstract: A system for performing minimally invasive procedures in a working space within a body lumen of a patient including a flexible catheter configured to receive a working instrument therethrough. The flexible catheter has a working space expanding system positioned at the distal portion, the working space expanding system including first and second flexible elements movable from a non-expanded insertion position to an expanded position forming an expanded region to expand the working space within the body. The first and second flexible elements are connected at a distal region by a coupling structure. A stabilizing member stabilizes the distal portion of the flexible catheter.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2016Publication date: December 29, 2016Applicant: Macroplata, Inc.Inventor: GREGORY PISKUN

Publication number: 20160338572Abstract: Improved methods and devices for performing an endoscopic surgery are provided. Systems are taught for operatively treating gastrointestinal disorders endoscopically in a stable, yet dynamic operative environment, and in a minimally-invasive manner. Such systems include, for example, an endoscopic surgical suite. The surgical suite can have a reversibly-expandable retractor that expands to provide a stable, operative environment within a subject. The expansion can be asymmetric around a stabilizer subsystem to maximize space for a tool and an endoscope to each be maneuvered independently to visualize a target tissue and treat the target tissue from outside the patient in a minimally invasive manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2016Publication date: November 24, 2016Applicant: Macroplata, Inc.Inventors: Gregory Piskun, John To, Mariel Fabro, Brian Tang, Sergey Kantsevoy

Publication number: 20160309996Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of devices and method for affecting at least one anatomical tissue can be provided. A configuration can be provided that includes a structure which is expandable (i) having and/or (ii) forming at least one opening or a working space through which the anatomical tissue(s) is placed in the structure. For example, the structure, prior to being expanding, can have at least one partially rigid portion. In addition, or as an alternative, upon a partial or complete expansion thereof, the structure can be controllable to have a plurality of shapes. Further, the structure can be controllable to provide the working space with multiple shapes and/or multiple sizes.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2016Publication date: October 27, 2016Applicant: Macroplata, Inc.Inventors: Gregory Piskun, Dan Rottenberg, Boaz Manash, Dima Pinhasov

Publication number: 20160278757Abstract: Improved methods and devices for performing an endoscopic surgery including a system for performing minimally invasive procedures including a flexible catheter having a working space expanding system positioned at a distal portion, the working space expanding system movable from a non-expanded insertion position to an expanded position forming an expanded region to expand the working space within the body lumen. A tissue retractor having an inner member positioned within an outer guide member has a plurality of closed loops at a distal portion forming a petal-like structure. The loops are positioned in a collapsed position within the outer guide member and are movable to an expanded position when exposed from the outer guide member.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2016Publication date: September 29, 2016Applicant: Macroplata, Inc.Inventors: Gregory Piskun, Brian Tang, Jeffrey Peter Radziunas
