Abstract: An endoscopic device includes a flexible shaft extending distally from a handle which, during use remains outside a living body, the shaft comprising a pull wire extending therethrough from the handle and a distal tip rotatably coupled to a distal end of the shaft, the distal tip comprising an imager directed distally from a distal face of the distal tip, the imager including a chip and a lens, a distal end of the pull wire being coupled to the distal tip in combination with an actuation mechanism coupled to a proximal end of the pull wire so that, actuation of the actuation mechanism, pulls the pull wire proximally through the shaft rotating the distal tip relative to the shaft to alter a field of view of the imager.

Abstract: A needle adjustment device is provided. The needle adjustment device includes a stopping component and an actuator. The stopping component is configured to establish a maximum penetration depth of a needle. The actuator is fixedly coupled to the needle and movable proximally and distally to one or more positions and to adjust a penetration depth of the needle depth up to the maximum penetration depth.

Abstract: A scope adapter system includes an adapter body coupled to a handle of a scope device, a rigid shaft, and a mounting mechanism removably coupled to the shaft. The shaft includes a shaft lumen which is sized and shaped to slidably receive a flexible elongated member of the device. A distal end of the lumen is sized so that, when a distal end of the member is received therein, the distal end of the member is snugly held so that an aim of the shaft aims the distal end of the member. The mechanism mounts a proximal end of the shaft to the body so that, when the body is coupled to the handle, the mechanism is mounted on the body and coupled to the shaft and the member is inserted into the lumen so that movement of the handle effects corresponding movements of the distal end of the member.

Abstract: Medical systems are described, including a medical system that includes a sheath with at least one lumen configured to be coupled to a suction source, an irrigation device that includes at least one irrigation lumen configured to be coupled to an irrigation source, and a medical device that includes a handle and a shaft. The shaft may include a working channel with a distal opening, one or more illumination devices, and one or more visualization devices. The medical device may be configured to be positioned within the sheath during delivery of the sheath to a treatment site and during an application of energy to break up one or more objects to form one or more particles or dust. The irrigation device may be configured to be positioned within the sheath and deliver irrigation fluid while suction is applied to the treatment site.

Abstract: A medical device may comprise a handle having at least one actuator, a shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending therebetween, the proximal end connected to the handle, the shaft including a distal articulable section including a distal tip, wherein the distal articulable section is configured to be articulated along a plane, a needle having a delivery lumen, the needle being movably positioned within the lumen of the shaft, and a vapor generator in fluid communication with the delivery lumen.

Abstract: In an exemplary arrangement, a vapor generator for use in a medical device may include a heating core in fluid communication with a source of fluid and defining at least one fluid pathway along which fluid from the source of fluid travels. The at least one fluid pathway may include one or more surfaces that generate turbulence in the fluid. The vapor generator may also include a coil disposed about the heating core, wherein the coil is configured to receive a current so as to heat the fluid traveling along the at least one fluid pathway, thereby generating a vapor.

Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for determining anatomical distance and/or position measurements during an endoscopic procedure. Markings are placed either physically or superimposed on a distal end of an elongate tool, such that the markings are viewable in an imaging field of view of the endoscope. Anatomic distances may be determined by measurements performed with the tool. The size and/or position of anatomical structures or unknown objects may also be determined using the marked tool.

Abstract: A device for vapor ablation may comprise a sheath extending from a proximal end to a distal portion. The sheath may include a lumen terminating distally at a lumen opening. The device may further comprise a vapor delivery member received in the lumen. The vapor delivery member may include a channel configured to receive vapor and at least one aperture configured to deliver the vapor to a body tissue. The device may further comprise an electrical component having a chip. The chip may be disposed proximate to the distal lumen opening.
