Publication number: 20240138839Abstract: Various types of otomy control devices that secure a periphery and/or adjacent tissue of a target otomy site and maintain the size of an otomy through a single wall of a vessel, organ, or lumen within the body. Among other things, this can reduce unintentional trauma, dilation, contraction, or locomotion of an otomy during a surgical procedure. They also can serve a beneficial purpose of allowing immediate communication between lumens before the complete creation of A permanent anastomosis. In some embodiments, magnetic compression anastomosis devices and/or other devices can be deployed through a channel of the otomy control device such as for deployment in a distal lumen.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Dane T.

Publication number: 20240074759Abstract: Compression anastomosis devices having a plurality of distinct pressure profile zones on the surface of the device. The anastomosis devices may be comprised of a plurality of magnetic connecting members arranged in an annular geometry, e.g., a polygon or circle. The anastomosis device may also be a continuous, non-segmented magnet, or other compression anastomosis device. The compression anastomosis device is deployed into a body lumen, e.g., endoscopically and/or laparoscopically, at a target site. A second compression anastomosis device is placed at an adjacent target site in an adjacent lumen. The compression anastomosis devices are brought together and mate, e.g., magnetically, creating an anastomosis.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Peter F.

Publication number: 20240074755Abstract: Various embodiments incorporate an “end effector” in a magnetic anastomosis device system. The end effector is located between the handle of an endoscope or laparoscope and the distal end of the catheter. The end effector engages with and secures the magnetic anastomosis device assembly within a body lumen. The end effector is able to hold a magnetic device or devices with a tensile strength of 0-10 lbs. The end effector is small enough that two instruments of 1.8 mm diameter or smaller may be placed in a 3.7 mm working channel of an endoscope.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Shani Mann, Dane T.

Patent number: 11589851Abstract: A biopsy forceps device includes a tension member and an end effector including first and second jaws movable between an open configuration, in which the jaws are separated from one another to receive target tissue therebetween, and a closed configuration, in which cutting edges of the jaws are moved toward one another to cut a portion of the target tissue. The jaws define a tissue receiving space therebetween to house the cut tissue. The jaws are pivotable relative to one another, each of the jaws including a serrated cutting edge extending therealong, the end effector further including a tension member attachment including a proximal end coupled to the tension member. The attachment is movably coupled to the jaws so that distal movement of the attachment moves the jaws to the open configuration while proximal movement thereof moves the jaws to the closed configuration.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2019Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: Boston Scientific LimitedInventors: Hitendra Purohit, Nishant Randhawa, Agrim Mishra, Charudatta Chandrakant Aradhye, Venkatesh Neelamegam, Nidhi Dhingra, Dane T.
