Abstract: A surgical instrument includes a stationary shaft defining a conduit and a movable shaft slidably disposed therein. A surgical tool extends distally from the movable shaft and a cup extends distally from the stationary shaft. The cup includes a body defining one or more channels, an annular rim disposed at the distal end portion thereof and defining a plurality of apertures each in fluid communication with one of the channels, and a cap disposed at the proximal end portion of the body and defining a lumen fluidly coupling the one or more channels with the conduit. A central aperture of the cap slidably receives the surgical tool and/or the movable shaft as the movable shaft slides from a retracted position, wherein the surgical tool is disposed proximally of the distal end portion of the cup, and an extended position, wherein the surgical tool extends through and distally from the cup.

Abstract: A gastric calibration tube includes an elongate member and an adjusting member. The elongate member has a length and includes a first segment and a second segment that extend along the length. The second segment includes a first side and a second side. The first and second sides are selectively movable in opposite lengthwise directions. The adjusting member is secured to one of the sides of the second segment and movable with the second segment relative to the first segment to steer the elongate member.
