  • Patent number: 12207823
    Abstract: A clipping system includes an adapter configured to be mounted over an insertion device and a clip including first and second jaws movable between an insertion configuration and an initial deployed configuration. A first extending member is releasably coupled to the clip and movably connected to the adapter to permit a movement of the clip relative to the adapter from the insertion configuration to the initial deployed configuration. The first extending member is configured to permit withdrawal of the adapter away from the clip to place the system in a review configuration to enhance a visual observation of the clip. The first extending member is operable to retract the clip over the adapter so that the clip is forced open, freeing the clip from tissue on which it has been clipped. The first extending member is configured to release the clip therefrom in a final deployed configuration.

  • Publication number: 20250025183
    Abstract: A system includes a cap having first and second cap members, a clip, and first and second coupling members. The clip includes a first part rotatably coupled to a second part and first members coupled to the first part and corresponding second members coupled to the second part. Each of the first members is coupled to a corresponding one of the second members to form an iris mechanism operating to alter a size of a central opening of the clip when the parts are rotated relative to one another between open/closed configurations. The first coupling member is coupled between the first cap member and the first part, and the second coupling member is coupled between the second cap member and the second part so that, upon rotation of the first cap member relative to the second cap member, the first part is rotated relative to the second part.

  • Patent number: 12178445
    Abstract: A clipping system includes an adapter mounted on an insertion device and a clip including first and second jaws connected via hinges so that the first and second jaws are movable between an insertion configuration and an initial deployed configuration. A deployment member is configured to move the clip distally over and off of the adapter so that, as the clip leaves the adapter, the clip moves from the insertion configuration to the initial deployed configuration. An extending member is releasably coupled to the clip and movably connected to the adapter, and is configured to permit the withdrawal of the adapter away from the clip while the extending member remains coupled to the clip to place the system in a review configuration. The extending member is operable to retract the clip over the adapter, freeing the clip from tissue on which it had been clipped.

  • Publication number: 20240415500
    Abstract: A device includes a cap, a patch deployment mechanism, and a therapeutic patch. The cap includes a wall defining a chamber with an open distal end. The mechanism is slidably received within the chamber in an insertion configuration and includes proximal and distal members coupled by bowing members. The bowing members expand radially outward relative to the insertion configuration when longitudinally compressed via movement of the distal member toward the proximal member. The patch is wrapped around the mechanism and is forced radially outward into contact with and adhere to a target portion of tissue when the mechanism is longitudinally compressed and the bowing members are radially expanded. The mechanism is to radially retracted after the patch has been adhered to the portion, from a deployed configuration to the insertion configuration to separate the patch from the mechanism leaving the patch in a desired position adhered to the portion.

  • Publication number: 20240366203
    Abstract: A medical device may comprise a handle having a fluid source, a conduit coupled to the handle, and a distal portion coupled to a distal end of the conduit. The distal portion may comprise an outer portion defining a lumen and an inner portion. The inner portion may be disposed within the lumen if the outer portion. The inner portion may define a cavity having a distal opening. The cavity may be configured to contain a material. In a first configuration of the distal portion, the material is disposed within the inner portion. Delivery of a fluid from the fluid source into the lumen of the outer portion transitions the distal portion from the first configuration to a second configuration and causes the inner portion to move distally relative to the outer portion and deliver at least a portion of the material.
