  • Through the scope tension member release clip
    Patent number: 10154842
    Abstract: An apparatus for deployment of a hemostatic clip includes a clip assembly releasably coupled to a distal portion of a shaft, wherein the clip assembly includes a capsule releasably coupled to the shaft, clip arms slidably received within the capsule and cooperating with the capsule to provide a first user feedback indicating a decision configuration of the clip assembly and a yoke slidably received within the capsule, the yoke including proximal and distal portions releasably and rotatably connected to one another via a first control wire, a distal end of the distal portion being connected to proximal ends of the clip arms. A second control wire extends from the handle assembly and is coupled to a proximal end of the second portion to move the clip assembly between open and closed configurations.

  • ULTRASOUND ENDOSCOPIC SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20110077558
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a device having an elongate section extending from a distal end to a proximal end, the elongate section may be configured to be inserted into a cavity of a body. The device may also include an end effector at the distal end of the elongate section. The end effector may have an end face. The end face may include a transducer configured to vibrate in response to an electric current. The elongate section may include a conduit configured to circulate coolant to the end effector.
