    Abstract: A medical device includes an energy delivery device. The energy delivery device has an elongate member, a first arm extending from the elongate member and a second arm extending from the elongate member. The first arm is configured to move with respect to the second arm. The energy delivery device includes an energy element. The energy element is configured to delivery energy to a portion of a filament when the filament is disposed between the first arm and the second arm. The energy device includes an actuation member. The actuation member is configured to move the first arm with respect to the second arm in response to the actuation member being actuated. The actuation member is operatively coupled to the energy element such that the energy element is activated in response to the actuation member being actuated.

    Abstract: According to one aspect, a medical device may include a luminal element configured for insertion into a natural body lumen. The medical device may further include a tool configured to be received within the luminal element. The tool may include a plurality of operating members. Each of the operating members may include an elongate member and a cutting member. The cutting member may be located at a distal end of the elongate member. Further, the cutting member of a first operating member of the plurality of operating members may be rotatable with respect to the cutting member of a second operating member of the plurality of operating members.

    Abstract: A hand-holdable steering mechanism is used as part of a medical device such as a catheter or an endoscope to allow movement of a steerable distal portion of the catheter or endoscope. The mechanism can include a housing, a first actuator, and a second actuator. The first actuator is configured to move the steerable portion along a first plane when the first actuator is moved between first and second positions. The second actuator is configured to move the steerable portion along a second plane different than the first plane when the second actuator is moved between first and second positions.
