Abstract: A gastric calibration tube includes a flexible elongate member, a pushing member, and a balloon member. The flexible elongate member has a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, and an outer surface that extends between the proximal and distal end portions. The outer surface defines a side opening. The flexible elongate member defines a lumen that is in communication with the side opening. The pushing member has a proximal portion and a distal portion. The distal portion is advanceable through the lumen of the flexible elongate member and out of the side opening of the flexible elongate member. The balloon member is secured to one or both of the flexible elongate member and the pushing member. The balloon member is inflatable to fix the gastric calibration tube within a patient's stomach.

Abstract: An intraoperative lens cleaning device includes a handle component and a tool assembly supported on a distal portion of the handle component. The handle component includes a grip portion and an elongate body portion. The tool assembly includes a distal loop portion that defines an opening and is formed of a resilient material that is deformable to a deformed configuration to be received within a trocar-cannula assembly. A cleaning member is formed from a biocompatible material and is supported on the distal loop portion to cover the opening.

Abstract: A surgical device includes a housing, a grasper assembly extending distally from the housing, a shaft extending distally from the housing, and a movable handle associated with the housing and operably coupled to the grasper assembly and the shaft. The grasper assembly includes first and second jaw members movable between an open position and a closed position. The shaft is movable relative to the grasper assembly between a retracted position and an extended position. The movable handle is associated with the housing and operably coupled to the grasper assembly and the shaft such that movement of the movable handle relative to the housing from an un-actuated position to an actuated position moves the first and second jaw members from the open position to the closed position, and moves the shaft from the retracted position to the extended position.

Abstract: An elongated electrode includes a proximal conductor, a tubular member, and a treatment portion. The tubular member defines a channel therethrough and has proximal and distal end portions. The proximal end portion receives the proximal conductor within a portion of the channel and defines a hole through an inner and outer surface of the tubular member in fluid communication with the channel. The treatment portion is coupled to the distal end portion of the tubular member and includes a base and an arm extending distally from the base. The base defines a port in fluid communication with the channel of the tubular member. The arm is in electrical communication with the proximal conductor and is configured to deliver electrosurgical energy to tissue.

Abstract: A ligation and specimen retrieval device is described for endoscopic use that includes a pouch defining a receptacle and having an open end and a closed end, a first suture member defining a first loop, a second suture member defining a second loop and a closure member positioned about the open end of the pouch. The device is transitionable from a non-deployed state in which the pouch and the first and second loops are positioned within a distal end of an outer shaft of the device to a deployed state in which the pouch and the first and second loops are positioned externally of the outer shaft of the device.
