    摘要: Methods and devices are provided for controlling movement of a working end of a surgical device configured to be introduced into a body. In one embodiment, a surgical device is provided including a cannulated elongate shaft having a distal working end with a flexible steering platform. The flexible steering platform can includes a plurality of axially aligned links and a plurality of flexible connector elements. Adjacent links can be connected using at least two of the connector elements such that flexing one or more connector elements can bend the steering platform in one or more directions. The surgical device's shaft can be configured to receive a flexible surgical instrument therein such that a working end of the surgical instrument can be received within the steering platform, thereby allowing movement of the surgical instrument's working end to be controlled through movement of the steering platform.

    摘要: Methods and devices are provided for deploying and applying a suture anchor. In one embodiment, a surgical device is provided having a shaft configured to be introduced into a body and to deliver a suture anchor with a coil of suture attached thereto to tissue. The shaft can be configured to deploy the suture anchor through tissue and to deliver the coil of suture into a body cavity such that the suture extending from the coil extends through the tissue to allow the anchor to engage the tissue. The coil can remain in the body cavity for subsequent use.

    摘要: A translumenal access device may comprise a cannula defining a first lumen and a hollow needle. The hollow needle may be positioned within the cannula. The hollow needle may comprise a first portion including a sharpened rigid distal portion with a first column strength. The hollow needle also may comprise a second portion including a floppy portion with a second column strength. The second portion may be disposed just proximal to the first portion. The first column strength may be greater than the second column strength. The first column strength may be sufficient to penetrate tissue. The second column strength may allow the second portion to buckle to prevent the hollow needle from further penetrating tissue.

    摘要: A suture tag retrieval device and method for its use are described. The retrieval device has an elongate member dimensioned in cross-section to allow passage thereof through a channel leading to an internal site in a patient, such as, for example, the working channel of an endoscope. The retrieval device has a distal end and a proximal end and defines a passageway between the distal and the proximal ends for passage of a suture. The distal end of the elongate member has a suture engagement portion and a suture tag receiving portion, which may be in the form of a cradle configured to inhibit contact between the suture tag and the channel. To facilitate use with an endoscope, the elongate member is preferably a hollow, flexible tube like device.

    摘要: A surgical instrument can be used to dilate a tissue within the body of a patient to create a working space within the body to allow a surgeon to easily advance an endoscope into a patient's body. In various embodiments, the surgical instrument can include a balloon capable of transitioning from a collapsed position to an expanded position and a sleeve at least partially surrounding the balloon when the balloon is in the collapsed position. The sleeve includes at least one frangible portion that may at least partially release along the frangible portion when the balloon transitions from the collapsed position to the expanded position. In various embodiments, the surgical instrument further includes a catheter, a needle, an endoscope or an endoscopic trocar.

    摘要: A medical device for use with an endoscope is provided. The medical device can include a tube with a first channel for receiving the endoscope. A transparent segment can extend from the distal end of the tube, and the transparent segment can have a first outer diameter sized for providing dilation of a portion of a body lumen. The medical device can also include a tapered tip attached to the distal end of the transparent segment that narrows from the first outer diameter to a distal terminating end. The endoscope is used to view the body lumen through the medical device while in use to dilate a stricture under direct visualization.
