A clip mountable over the cap to move between an insertion configuration, in which first and second jaws extend over opposing portions of the cap so that the first and second jaws are separated from one another, a review configuration, in which the clip is moved distally relative to the cap so that a portion of the clip extends distally until at least a portion of the clip extends into a field of view of the optical system of an endoscope on which the cap is mounted, and a deployed configuration in which the clip is moved distally off of the clip so that the first and second jaws are drawn toward one another under the bias of the at least one hinge to close over tissue received therebetween.

Abstract: A clipping system for treating tissue includes an adapter, a clip, an extending member, and a control wire. The adapter is mounted over an insertion device. The clip is mounted over the adapter and includes a connecting member connecting to first and second jaws. The jaws are configured to move between an insertion configuration and an initial deployed configuration. The extending member is coupled to the clip and the adapter and extends to abut the connecting member. The control wire is received within the extending member to move the clip between the insertion configuration, the initial deployed configuration and a review configuration. The control wire connects to the clip via a releasable link to retract the clip proximally over the adapter to force the clip to open. The releasable link is configured to release when the control wire is subject to a force exceeding a predetermined threshold value.

Abstract: A medical device includes a handle, a shaft, an end effector, and a wire. The handle includes a rotatable knob and a longitudinally movable spool. The shaft extends from a distal end of the handle. The end effector is coupled to a distal end of the shaft. The wire extends from the handle, through the shaft, and to the end effector. Rotation of the knob rotates the wire independent of the shaft to rotate the end effector. Distal movement of the spool moves the wire distally independent of the shaft and transitions the end effector between at least a first configuration and a second configuration. Proximal movement of the spool urges the wire proximally. Urging the wire proximally deflects a deflectable portion of the shaft in one or more directions.

The tube pushes the sleeve distally off the insertion device when the tube is advanced distally through the hollow member. The control member includes a distal end forming a loop coupled around a circumference of a distal opening of the sleeve. The loop moves between a constricted configuration in which at least a portion of the loop is drawn proximally into the tube and an 10 open configuration in which the loop is extended distally from the tube to open the loop and the distal opening of the sleeve.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media are disclosed for generating multicolor strokes along paths in digital vector images. The disclosed system receives a digital vector image including a path, the digital vector image presented on a graphical user interface.
