Abstract: An actuation mechanism for an endoscope is disclosed. The actuation mechanism includes a housing configured to be attached to a handle of the endoscope and a thumbwheel coupled to the housing. Rotation of the thumbwheel causes longitudinal translation of an elongated medical device through a working channel of the endoscope. In some instances, the actuation mechanism includes a drive wheel and/or a roller wheel, wherein the elongate medical device is compressively positioned between the roller wheel and/or the drive wheel. Rotation of the thumbwheel may cause the drive wheel and/or the roller wheel to rotation in opposite rotational directions.

Abstract: An endoscopic deployment device includes a body mountable on an endoscopic device, the body having a movable carrier couplable to an end effector device, the end effector device having an end effector shaft covered by an outer sheath and an end effector extending from a distal end of the end effector shaft, the outer sheath being sized and shaped for insertion through a working channel of the endoscopic device, the body having a carrier channel for the carrier to slide therein, wherein the end effecter is actuatable between an open position and a closed position; and a motor having a drive shaft coupled to the carrier, rotation of the drive shaft sliding the carrier in the carrier channel and actuating the end effector in response to a signal from one or more actuation buttons; wherein at least one vibration motor generates vibrations as an angular position of the motor changes.

Abstract: Systems and methods for treating a patient may include accessing an anatomical structure with a single use visualization device, using the imaging capabilities of the single use visualization device within the anatomical structure, and in some cases, advancing the single use visualization device beyond the anatomical structure to and toward another anatomical structure within the patient. Disposable elements may be used with or added to the single use visualization device to accomplish tasks normally performed with reusable devices.
