Abstract: A fluid supply system for an endoscope includes a first container having an interior volume configured to contain a fluid, a second container having an interior volume configured to contain a fluid, and a coupling mechanism having a first portion and a second portion, and a lumen extending therebetween. The first portion of the coupling mechanism is configured to engage with the first container and the second portion is configured to engage with the second container. The first portion includes a first fluid port in fluid communication with the first container via the lumen, and the first container and the second container are in fluid communication via the lumen.

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 supplying gas and water to an endoscope system. An illustrative container and tube set may comprise a container configured to contain a fluid and having a bottom portion and a top portion, a lens water supply tube including a first end, a second end, and a first lumen extending therethrough, a gas supply tube including a first end, a second end, and a second lumen extending therethrough, a port positioned adjacent to the top portion of the container, and a flexible tube including a first end coupled to the top portion of the container, a second end, and a third lumen extending therethrough. The third lumen of the flexible tube may be configured to be in selective fluid communication with the interior of the container.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for connecting tubes to an endoscope. A connector for connecting tubing, such as gas/lens wash tubing, to fluid ports of an endoscope may include a first end that couples with the tubing and a second end for engaging fluid ports of an endoscope. The connector may have a stabilizing component configured to facilitate securing the second end to the endoscope. In some cases, the connector may include a device coupling member configured to couple to the endoscope and a core structure adding stability to the device coupling member and configured to couple to the tubing. In some cases, the stabilizing component may include an actuator and a retention component that adjusts in response to actuation of the actuator.

Abstract: Medical devices and methods for using medical devices are disclosed. Example fluid reservoirs and tube sets arranged and configured to couple to an endoscope for use in an endoscopic procedure are disclosed. An example fluid reservoir and tube set includes a fluid reservoir configured to contain a fluid, a fluid supply tube configured to be coupled to the endoscope and having a lumen extending therethrough, wherein the lumen is in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir and a first backflow prevention mechanism coupled to the fluid supply tube, the first backflow prevention mechanism configured to permit fluid to flow through the fluid supply line from the fluid reservoir to the endoscope and to prevent fluid from flowing back through the fluid supply tube from the endoscope to the fluid reservoir.

Abstract: Medical devices for cinch and cutting one or more suture, and methods for making and using such devices are disclosed. An example medical device may include a coupler, a sleeve releasably coupled to the coupler, a cutter slidably disposed within the sleeve, and a suture cinching member movable into and out of the sleeve. A wire may extend through and be longitudinally movable within the coupler to move the suture cinching member and cutter.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to devices, systems, and methods for controlling the flow of fluids in endoscopic systems, such as endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) enabled endoscopes. Some embodiments are particularly directed to valve sets and/or valve interface mechanisms for controlling air and water flow through a valve well for an endoscopic system. Several embodiments are directed to user interface mechanisms and techniques for enabling an operator to interact with and control endoscope valves. In one or more embodiments, manufacture of the valve sets and/or valve interface mechanisms, collectively referred to as flow controllers, may be simplified, such as to make it economical to dispose of the flow controller after a single use.
