Patent number: 9955854Abstract: An endoluminal access system for accessing a body lumen includes a guide track which, when in an operative position, extends through a body lumen to a desired location therewithin and a modular device selectively coupleable to the guide track, the modular device including a drive mechanism for engaging the guide track to move the modular device along the guide track within the body lumen. A method of resecting tissue from a site within a body includes the steps of inserting a guide track to a desired location within the body lumen, coupling a modular device to a proximal end of the guide track and actuating a motor mounted within the modular device to drive the modular device distally along the guide track to the site, drawing tissue at the site into the modular device in combination with the steps of coupling together a portion of tissue adjacent to the site, resecting the tissue from the site and actuating the motor to drive the modular device proximally to withdraw the modular device from the body lumen.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2015Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: German Trabada, Russell F.

Patent number: 8685043Abstract: A system and method for delivering a surgical clip to a surgical site within a patient's body to compress body tissue is disclosed. In one embodiment for the system of the present invention, the system includes an endoscopic device that has an endoscope cap disposed on a distal end of the endoscopic device. A surgical clip is removably disposed on an outside surface of the endoscope cap. A deployment device is associated with the surgical clip for deploying the surgical clip from the endoscope cap to the body tissue that is to be compressed. The surgical clip can be a deformable clip that is deployed in a non deformed configuration, and is then deformed so as to apply compression on selected tissue. The surgical clip can be a multi-legged clip, having a plurality of legs that can be locked in a closed position to apply compression to body tissue.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2012Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Kristin A. Jugenheimer, Russell F. Durgin, Jr., Mark L. Adams, Mark Monroe

Patent number: 8460334Abstract: A modular device for tissue resection includes a housing, a motor, a tissue receiving chamber, a grabbing mechanism and a resection mechanism. The housing includes a guide track receiving lumen extending therethrough. The motor is mounted within the housing. The motor is selectively engageable with a guide track received within the guide track lumen to move the modular device therealong. The tissue receiving chamber is formed within the housing. The grabbing mechanism draws a selected portion of tissue into the tissue receiving chamber. The resection mechanism resects the selected portion of tissue.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2006Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: German Trabada, Russell F.
