Publication number: 20220071623Abstract: A staple housing includes an array of staples each in a staple delivery position or “ready position” ready to be fired into target tissue. A staple driver is advanceable to drive the ready-position staples from the staple head into the tissue using staple pushers. During use, the staples in the ready positions are simultaneously fired into the target tissue using the staple pushers, forming an array of staples in the target tissue. After the array has been fired, one or more feed mechanisms within the staple housing advance a second group of staples from one or more staple storage locations into the ready positions in preparation for firing of the second group of staples.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2021Publication date: March 10, 2022Applicant: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Daniel J. BALBIERZ, Pablo R. HAMBLY, Jason S. STEWART, David COLE

Patent number: 9545249Abstract: This application describes an overtube device that gives diagnostic and/or therapeutic access to body cavities using natural orifices of the body. The overtube includes an elongate flexible body having a distal portion deflectable in response to activation of a control cable. Proximal features of the overtube include an insufflations port and seals for minimizing loss of insufflations pressure around the shafts of instruments passed through the tube. In some embodiments, retractor elements are including on the distal portion of the overtube.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2013Date of Patent: January 17, 2017Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: David Cole, Melanie L. Harris, Carlos E. Castro, Jason S. Stewart, Samuel T. Crews, Daniel J. Balbierz
