  • Patent number: 11622765
    Abstract: A tissue clipping device and system, and method for clipping tissue are disclosed. The tissue clipping device includes a clip with clip arms that is slidably disposed within a channel of a lock tube. The clip is designed to move between an open configuration in which distal ends of the clip arms are separated from each other for receiving tissue therebetween, and a closed configuration in which the distal ends of the clip arms are closer to each other than in the open configuration for clipping the tissue received therebetween. The tissue clipping system further includes a delivery device for delivering and deploying the tissue clipping device. The delivery device is releasably coupled to the tissue clipping device.

  • Publication number: 20220387039
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include apparatuses, systems, and methods for driving a needle to facilitate suturing, such as may be performed in a surgical anastomosis procedure. In an illustrative embodiment, an apparatus includes a frame. First and second rollers are rotatably mounted parallel with each other in the frame and are configured to engage therebetween a shaft of a needle formed in a helical shape. The first and second rollers are configured to counter-rotate. The needle is revolvable eccentrically around the first roller responsive to counter-rotation of the first and second rollers. A drive mechanism is secured to the frame and is configured to move the frame.

  • Publication number: 20220218907
    Abstract: Disclosed and claimed is a medical delivery device with a separable housing comprising a durable component and a disposable component. The durable component comprises a handle portion of the device that may be connected to a compressed gas source to allow for the input of pressurized gas into the device. The disposable component comprises a cartridge containing a plurality of doses of biological or non-biological material and a supersonic barrel through which the dose is propelled out of the device and into the subject. When all of the doses in the cartridge have been administered, or when the device is to be used with a different subject, the cartridge is removed, and a new cartridge attached to the durable component.
