Publication number: 20210371175Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide water bottle cap assemblies suitable for attachment to an endoscopic device and a water source. The water bottle cap assembly can include a plurality of ports and an engageable member to sealingly engage the cap with a water source. The assembly also includes a plurality of tubular members, each tubular member coupled to a respective port so as to be in fluid communication therewith. The assembly can include a cap having a grippable surface that is overmolded onto the cap. The cap can also have a soft inner seal on the interior surface, and the soft inner seal can be integrally formed with the overmolded grippable surface. The cap can have a top that is pressfit onto the main portion of the cap. The grippable surface material can be overmolded over the top of the cap.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2021Publication date: December 2, 2021Inventors: TONY MARTELLA, MICHAEL SIMENC, GARY E.

Publication number: 20210282801Abstract: A tissue removal tool includes a body, a conduit, a loop, and a transmitting assembly. The conduit is attached to the body and defines an inner lumen, where the inner lumen has a proximal portion having a first width and a distal portion having a second width that is greater than the first width. The loop is movable between an open position in which the loop is at least partially disposed outside of the conduit and a closed position in which the loop is disposed within the conduit. The transmitting assembly includes a handle and a link. The handle is connected to the body, and the link has a first end attached to the handle and a second end attached to the loop such that movement of the handle causes the loop to move between the open and closed positions.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2021Publication date: September 16, 2021Inventors: Alex Uspenski, John P.
