Abstract: A device and assembly for ligating a target tissue to restrict blood flow to the tissue, where the device is a ligating device that is irreversibly tightened by a cinch component. The device further has a hook to hold the ligating element on a delivery tool. The ligating element can be a continuous loop or can be a clip and can be repositionable until the cinch is used to tighten it. The cinch holds the ligating device on the loop while being positioned, and then secures the ligating device once it is positioned around target tissue to which a user desires to restrict blood flow. A method of using the assembly includes an actuator assembly, drive wire, and pusher element to manipulate the ligating device and cinch component.

Abstract: The present subject matter provides improvements of endoscopic retrieving devices. In specific, the present subject matter provides a net element with an extra wide tail section. The present subject matter provides a new weaving pattern. The present subject matter provides a new shape of the loop. The present subject matter provides a net with a combination of net elements, such as combinations of different net geometries and/or different net materials. The present subject matter provides a new and inventive loop. The present subject matter provides an improved second end of the tubular member. The present subject matter provides a new and inventive arm.

Abstract: The present subject matter discloses a tissue removal tool for use with an endoscope. The tool comprises a loop formed by a piece of wire and movable between an open position and a closed position, and a transmitting assembly comprising: a handle; and a link having a first end attached to the handle and a second end attached to the loop, the loop portion being movable between the open and closed position by action of the handle. The loop is defined in the open position by a proximal portion and a distal portion. The widest portion of the loop is more proximal to a proximal end of the loop than the mid-point of the length of the loop is.

Abstract: A device for fragmenting a surgical implant includes a cap. The cap includes a first channel extending from a first end of the cap to the second end of the cap. The device includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and an endoscope coupled with the cap.

Abstract: An endoscopic device for retrieving an object from within a human body is disclosed. The device includes a support assembly, a transmitting assembly, a wire, and a net element. The support assembly has a base and a tubular member. The transmitting assembly includes a handle and a motion transmitting link fixed to the handle and extending through at least a portion of the tubular member. The wire defines a loop portion and two leg portions. A proximal end of each leg portion is secured to the link by a first connection and the two leg portions are secured to each other by at least a second connection distal from the first connection. The net element has a distally protruding portion secured to the loop portion and a proximally protruding portion secured relative to the leg portions.
