Publication number: 20240050319Abstract: A medical device includes a tube comprising a lumen extending from a proximal end to a distal end of the tube, a cap at the distal end of the tube having a distal opening corresponding to the lumen, and an imaging system positioned on a distal-facing surface of the cap. The medical device also includes an instrument at least partially disposed in the lumen that is non-removable from the medical device, an instrument actuation mechanism for controlling the instrument, and a single handle connected to the proximal end of the tube and housing the instrument actuation mechanism. The instrument actuation mechanism, to which a proximal end of the instrument is affixed, may be configured to be moved between a first and second position on the single handle to control an extension and retraction of the instrument relative to the tube.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Applicant: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Bryan BANNON, James WELDON, Jeff INSULL

Publication number: 20240041464Abstract: An implantable device configured to withstand forces imparted thereto by anatomical structure at a deployment site. The implantable device includes an outer portion and inner portion. The outer portion is positioned between the inner portion and the walls of the anatomical deployment site. The outer portion may enclose the inner portion. The outer portion may be a compliant balloon compressible in response to radially-inwardly directed anatomical forces exerted thereon. The inner portion may include one or more portions configured to retain the implantable device at the deployment site and to resist migration of the implantable device. The inner portion may be movable with respect to the outer portion. The inner portion may include more than one portions, such portions being movable with respect to each other. A shaft may extend through the device, such as to facilitate inflation of the outer portion and/or positioning of the inner portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Sean P.
