Abstract: An elevator of a medical device may comprise: a plurality of segments joined together by at least one hinge, and a control element coupled to at least one segment of the plurality of segments. A first segment of the plurality of segments may be a discrete structure. Proximal or distal movement of the control element may be configured to move the at least one segment of the plurality of segments relative to another of the plurality of segments.

Abstract: A device for treating hemorrhoids includes a housing sized and shaped for insertion to a target site within a rectum. The device also includes an inner member received within the housing such that the member may move longitudinally relative to the housing. In addition, the device includes a ligating mechanism at a distal end of the member which includes grasping arms movable between a receiving configuration in which distal ends of the arms are separated from one another and a grasping configuration in which the distal ends are drawn together to grasp tissue. The mechanism includes a ligating band received around the arms that is movable distally off of the arms to constrict around tissue grasped by the arms.

Abstract: An articulation joint for a medical device includes a proximal longitudinal section, a distal longitudinal section, and a locking wire. The proximal longitudinal section defines a lumen and includes proximal articulation links. Each proximal articulation link has a contact surface abutting a contact surface of an adjacent proximal articulation link when the articulation joint is in a straight configuration. The distal longitudinal section is distal to the proximal longitudinal section and includes distal articulation links configured to bend in the first direction. The locking wire extends through the lumen adjacent the contact surfaces of the proximal articulation links. A distal end of the locking wire is fixed to a distal articulation link, and tensioning of the locking wire prevents bending of the proximal longitudinal section in the first direction and allows bending of the distal longitudinal section in the first direction.
