Abstract: Various embodiments described hereby may separate one or more functionalities/components provided via the tower in order to alleviate the physical barrier created by the umbilicus and reduce the need of the umbilicus to connect to the tower. For example, the liquid source may be worn by the user (e.g., physician) or the liquid source may modularly attach to the endoscope, such as to the handle of the endoscope. Accordingly, several embodiments described hereby may improve user experience such as by giving the user greater freedom of movement without sacrificing functionality. Some embodiments provide a source and means of using water without requiring the umbilicus to physically attach to the tower, improving range and ease of motion for a user by removing the need to navigate about a water connector.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of tissue dissection. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to medical devices that lift and retract tissue during a dissection procedure to improve visualization of the target tissue and mitigate obstructions for dissection tools. In particular, the present disclosure relates to devices that transition from a constrained to an unconstrained bowed configuration to immobilize and retract the dissected portion of target tissue during a dissection procedure.

Abstract: Methods and systems for coupling gas and water supply tubes to a container. An illustrative container and tube set may comprise a container configured to contain a fluid, the container having a bottom portion and a top portion, a water supply tube including a first end, a second end, and a first lumen, a gas supply tube including a first end, a second end, and a second lumen, and a weight coupled to the first end of the water supply tube and a first end of the gas supply tube. The first lumen may be in selective fluid communication with the bottom portion of the container and the second end of the water supply tube positioned external to the container. The second lumen may be in operative fluid communication with the container and the second end of the gas supply tube is positioned external to the container.
