Publication number: 20240081623Abstract: An accessory device for an endoscope includes a cap attached to a shaft of the endoscope, the cap extending along a first axis, a first tip coupled to the cap and movable relative to the cap between a deployed configuration and a non-deployed configuration, and a first shaft defining a lumen and extending proximally from the first tip. In the deployed configuration, the first tip extends along a second axis that is offset from the first axis, and in the non-deployed configuration, the first tip extends along a third axis that is offset from the first axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Gonzalo Jose SAENZ VILLALOBOS, Yeison CALVO, Diana Catalina RODRIGUEZ FORERO, Juan Pablo ORTIZ GARCIA, Andres RODRIGUEZ HERRERA

Publication number: 20220361859Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to positioning elongate members at a target site within a body lumen, such as for acquiring a biopsy from a peripheral airway. Some embodiments are particularly directed to an elongate member with an embedded transducer positioned at a predefined rotational angle with respect to a projected position of an instrument extended out of a distal opening of a first lumen in the elongate member. In many such embodiments, a rotational transducer may be positioned within a second lumen in the elongate member to generate a radial image including indicia of the embedded transducer. Accordingly, an operator may determine a projected position of the instrument prior to extending the instrument out of the lumen. In several embodiments, the embedded transducer may include a forward imaging transducer, such as a fiber optic.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2022Publication date: November 17, 2022Applicant: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED INCInventors: Diana Catalina RODRIGUEZ FORERO, Gonzalo Jose SAENZ VILLALOBOS, Kevin MCEVILLY, Elias Milad SIBANI, Daniel CALVO CAMACHO, Alejandro BRENES ACOSTA

Patent number: 11484317Abstract: A device includes a housing having a first opening for receiving tissue therein and a distal head disposed at least partly within the housing. The distal head is configured to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the distal head. The device also includes a first holding member coupled to the housing and a second holding member coupled to the distal head. The first and second holding members are configured so that rotating the distal head stretches a first ligation band coupled to the first and second holding members, permitting tissue drawn into the first opening to pass through an opening of the first ligation band.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2020Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Gonzalo Jose Saenz Villalobos, Kevin McEvilly, Alejandro Brenes Acosta, Daniel Calvo Camacho, Rafael Berenzon, Esteban Solano Montenegro, Diana Catalina Rodriguez Forero, Daniel Eduardo Mata Barrantes, Jose Pablo Nunes Corella, Viviana Artavia Salas

Patent number: 11129623Abstract: A device for treating tissue including a capsule including a channel extending therethrough; clip arms extending from a proximal end to a distal end, proximal ends received within the channel to be moved between a tissue receiving configuration, in which distal ends of the arms are separated, and a tissue clipping configuration, in which distal ends of the arms are moved toward one another, the arms including proximal and distal portions, the proximal portion including longitudinal legs extending from the proximal end to the distal portion, a plane of the legs being rotated about a longitudinal axis of the arms from a plane including the distal portion; and a yoke including proximal and distal portions, the distal portion being releasably coupled to the clip legs via a pin, the pin is inserted through the distal portion.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2019Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Gonzalo Jose Saenz Villalobos, Daniel Congdon, Martin Hynes, Daniel Calvo Camacho, Diana Catalina Rodriguez Forero

Publication number: 20210235969Abstract: A device includes a handle, a shaft and a steering mechanism. The handle includes a first actuator for an end effector. The shaft extends from the handle and sized and shaped to pass through a working channel of an endoscope. A distal end of the shaft includes the end effector. A pull wire extends from the handle to the end effector for actuating the end effector. The mechanism includes a second actuator for bending the distal end relative to a longitudinal axis of the shaft. The mechanism includes a first steering wheel having a first steering wire extending therefrom to the distal end of the shaft. Rotating the second actuator rotates the first steering wheel and tensions the first steering wire to bend the shaft, the pull wire for the end effector remaining actuatable when the distal end is bent.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2020Publication date: August 5, 2021Inventors: Esteban SOLANO MONTENEGRO, Diana Catalina RODRIGUEZ FORERO, Jairo Mauricio VARGAS MENA
