Abstract: Aspects of the invention provides an imaging mini-scope, an attachment clip and a system including these components. Another aspect provides a method to using the imaging scope and attachment clip for an endoscopic procedure. In one embodiment, the mini-scope includes an elongated body having an attached jacket extending to its proximal end to its distal end. The jacket includes a longitudinal track extending from the distal end to the proximal end and defining a lumen having a restricted opening on the external surface of the jacket. The attachment clip includes a head portion that is sized and shaped to fit in the lumen and to slidably engage the longitudinal track.

Abstract: Methods and devices are described for removing a blockage from an anatomical passageway, for example thrombus or clot from a blood vessel. Devices and methods are provided for removing a blockage from an anatomical passageway. For example, a braided funnel is provided that may be placed adjacent a blockage. The braided funnel may be attached to an elongate tube and the blockage may be aspirated through the tube.

Abstract: An angle assist block for transcutaneous insertion of a needle for a patient is provided. The angle assist block comprises a body portion having an outer surface wherein the outer surface comprises a first side and a second side. The first side is configured to engage skin tissue and the second side opposes the first side. The angle assist block further comprises at least one channel formed through the body portion from the first side to the second side. The channel is angled relative to the first side defining an angle and to allow the needle to be inserted through the channel and transcutaneously introduced at the angle. The angle assist block comprises an attachment portion attached to the outer surface. The attachment portion is configured to removably attach to an attachment receiving member of a tissue visualization device.

Abstract: A tissue adhesive sealant includes a cross-linkable protein in a solution that when combined with a cross-linking agent solution including an aldehyde and amino acid containing species reactive with the aldehyde cross-links to form a seal. The sealant is well suited for bonding tissue alone or in combination with a patch. The ratio between the aldehyde and the amino acid containing species is between 20:1 and 1:1 on an aldehyde moiety:amino acid or peptide subunit molar basis. Particularly strong seals are formed when the protein and cross-linking agent are present in a molar ratio of between 15:1 and 1:1.
