Abstract: A medical instrument may include a tube, a sheath provided around and coaxial with the tube, and an inflatable balloon at a distal end of the sheath. The balloon may receive a fluid from a lumen of the sheath, and may have a central opening along a longitudinal axis thereof, and into which the tube extends, a proximal portion, a middle portion adjacent to and distal of the proximal portion, and a distal portion adjacent to and proximal of the middle portion. When the balloon is inflated with the fluid, a maximum diameter of the middle portion may be less than a maximum diameter of the proximal portion, and less than a maximum diameter of the distal portion. The medical instrument may also include an extraction member provided at a distal end of the tube, distal to the balloon, and movable axially relative to the balloon.

Abstract: An apparatus for positioning a device relative to tissue may include an emitter and a detector coupled to the device. The emitter may emit energy onto the tissue. The detector may detect energy reflected from the tissue. The detector may also generate a detector output signal indicative of a characteristic of the reflected energy. The apparatus may also include a processor that receives the detector output signal from the detector. The processor may determine whether there has been relative movement between the device and the tissue based on the detector output signal. The processor may also generate a processor output signal based on the relative movement. The apparatus may also include an actuator assembly engaging the device. The actuator assembly may receive the processor output signal from the processor. The actuator assembly may also move the device based on the processor output signal.

Abstract: A medical device for regulating fluid flow within one or more lungs of a patient is disclosed. The medical device includes an elongate tubular member, a first extension, a second extension, and a valve member. The elongate tubular member includes a first plurality of channels extending between a proximal and distal ends. The first and second extensions defines a second and third plurality of channels, respectively, each extending from the distal end of the elongate tubular member and configured for placement in a first and second passageway of a lung. The valve member operably couples to the elongate tubular member and is configured to transition between a first position and a second position. The valve member prevents fluid flow to first set of the first plurality of channels in the first position and prevents fluid flow to second set of the first plurality of channels in the second position.
