Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of tissue dissection. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to medical devices which lift and retract tissue during a dissection procedure to improve visualization of the target tissue and mitigate obstruction of dissection tools. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a tissue retraction device which moves from a constrained to relaxed configuration to immobilize and retract the dissected portion of target tissue during a dissection procedure.

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: Devices, systems, and methods for providing liquid to an endoscope system. A fluid supply system may include a plurality of water reservoirs in fluid communication with one another to ensure a sufficient amount of water is available for endoscope procedures. The fluid supply system may include a first tubing subset configured to provide liquid to the endoscope and a second tubing subset configured to provide supplemental water to a reservoir in communication with the first tubing subset. Supplemental water may be pressurized via a pump, a liquid flow, and/or a via a gas flow. In some cases, a venturi siphon or a bridge siphon may be utilized to maintain pressure in the water reservoirs.

Abstract: Medical devices for cinching and cutting one or more suture, and methods for making and using such devices are disclosed. An example medical device may include a shaft, a sleeve attached to the shaft, cutter slidable within the sleeve, a cinch sleeve releasably coupled to the sleeve, and a cinch member. An elongated inner shaft may extend through and be longitudinally movable within the elongated shaft, sleeve, cutter, cinch sleeve, and cinch member. The inner shaft may be actuated to cinch and cut one or more suture disposed within the device.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for mitigating leakage from connectors and tubing of an endoscope system when the connectors and or tubing are disconnected from fluid ports of the endoscope system. A tubing assembly for connecting a fluid line to an endoscope and a fluid source may include an elongate tube having a lumen, a connector coupled to an end of the elongate tube and having a port in fluid communication with the lumen, and a fluid control component configured to selective adjust fluid flow through the lumen and the port. The fluid control component may be located in one or more of a cover for the fluid source, the tubing, the connector, and/or other components in fluid communication with the lumen. The fluid control component may be a valve. The valve may be manually actuated from a closed position to an opened position.

Abstract: According to one aspect, a fastening device may include a coupling body having (1) a portion configured to couple to a distal end of a medical device, (2) a cartridge holder, and (3) an anvil pivotably coupled to the cartridge holder. The cartridge holder and the anvil may extend distally from the portion and may be configured to extend distally of a distalmost face of the medical device when the portion is coupled to the distal end of the medical device. A flexible member may be configured to extend through a channel of the medical device. A fastener cartridge may be coupled to a distal end of the flexible member, including at least one fastener, and may be configured for releasable coupling to the cartridge holder.

Abstract: Methods and systems for redirecting a flow of air/gas to flush fluid channels. An illustrative container and tube set for redirecting a flow of air may include a container, a water supply tube including a first lumen extending therethrough, a gas supply tube including a second lumen extending therethrough, a manifold including a first inlet for receiving air, a second inlet for receiving fluid from the container, a first air outlet, and a second fluid outlet, and a valve positioned within the manifold.
