Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided that include a releasable mount device that may be utilized to couple an operative element, such as an ablation device, with a therapeutic or diagnostic device, such as an endoscope. The releasable mount device may include a tubular base. The tubular base may include a slot extending in a longitudinal direction between a distal end and a proximal end of the tubular base. The tubular base may be configured to radially expand whereby a slot width of the slot may increase from a first width to a second width in order to clamp the tubular base onto the therapeutic or diagnostic device. The tubular base may be configured without a slot, in some cases, with a diameter larger than the therapeutic or diagnostic device. The tubular base may include one or more gripping members. The releasable mount device may include a support member configured to couple with the operative element.
