  • Devices and methods for treating a stricture along the biliary and/or pancreatic tract
    Patent number: 12233226
    Abstract: Medical devices and systems for treating a stricture along the biliary and/or pancreatic tract are disclosed. An example medical device may include a guidewire for use along the biliary and/or pancreatic tract. The guidewire may include an elongate core member having a proximal end region and a distal end region. A coil member may be disposed along the distal end region. An actuation member may be coupled to the coil member. The actuation member may be configured to shift the coil member between a first configuration and a compressed configuration. The coil member may be configured to be advanced across a biliary and/or pancreatic stricture when in the compressed configuration. A sleeve may be disposed over the coil member.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING A STRICTURE ALONG THE BILIARY AND/OR PANCREATIC TRACT
    Publication number: 20220040460
    Abstract: Systems and methods for treating a stricture, for example along the biliary and/or pancreatic tract, are disclosed. An example system may include a handle having a base, a first carriage translatable relative to the base, and a second carriage translatable relative to the base. A sheath may be coupled to the first carriage. The system may also include a catheter shaft having a proximal end region and a steerable distal end region. The proximal end region may be coupled to the second carriage. A needle may be releasably coupled to the handle. The needle may be configured to pass through tissue into a position along the biliary and/or pancreatic tract. The system may also include a steering member having a first end coupled to the steerable distal end region of the catheter shaft and a second end disposed adjacent to the handle.
