  • Publication number: 20240415741
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for guidewire placement for a jejunostomy tube are described herein. A system can include an elongated tube having a first end, a second end, and an engagement portion at the first end configured for engagement with an endoscope. An inflatable member can be coupled to the elongated tube and configured to transition from an uninflated configuration to an inflated configuration. A magnetic member can be coupled to the elongated tube and configured such that, in response to disposing an external magnetic assembly on a surface of the abdomen of the patient, the inflatable member can be urged against an inner surface of a jejunum wall of the patient such that any intervening structure between the surface of the abdomen of the patient and the inner surface of the jejunum wall is disposed between the external magnetic assembly and the inflatable member with substantially no fluid gaps.

  • Publication number: 20230191061
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for creating a percutaneous tracheostomy are described herein. In some embodiments, a system can include an inflation assembly and a guidewire assembly. The inflation assembly can include an elongated tube, an inflatable member, and a magnetic member. The elongated tube can have a first end, a second end, and can define a lumen. The inflatable member can be coupled to the first end of the elongated tube and can be fluidically coupled to the lumen such that the inflatable member can receive fluid via the lumen. The magnetic member can be coupled to the first end of the elongated tube. The first end of a guidewire of the guidewire assembly can include a coupling member, the coupling member configured to couple to the inflatable member such that translation of the elongated tube translates the guidewire assembly.
