  • Device and method for treatment of hemorrhoids
    Patent number: 11937827
    Abstract: A device includes including an elongated hollow member with a window for receiving tissue in an interior of the hollow member; a rigid member slidably coupled to the hollow member; and an actuation mechanism configured to move the rigid member longitudinally along a longitudinal axis through at least part of the window. When a ligation band is adjacent to the window and the rigid member is moved relative to the hollow member, the rigid member deforms the ligation band from an open position into a closed position around tissue received in the window.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 22, 2020
    Date of Patent: March 26, 2024
    Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.

  • Endoscopic tissue manipulation tool
    Patent number: 10548626
    Abstract: A medical device configured to manipulate tissue within a body of a subject may include an elongate shaft having a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end of the shaft may be configured to be inserted into the body. The device may include end effectors coupled to the distal end of the elongate shaft. The end effectors may include a needle pivotably coupled to the shaft and configured to inject a fluid into the tissue. The end effectors may also include an articulating arm pivotably coupled to the shaft, and a cutting wire extending between the needle and the arm.
