Abstract: A medical device for treating esophageal atresia may include a handle, an elongate shaft extending distally from the handle, the elongate shaft configured to extend into an esophagus of a patient and into an upper esophageal pouch of the patient, the elongate shaft having a distal nub configured to engage a distal end of the upper esophageal pouch, a force absorbing member disposed within the handle, the force absorbing member permitting the elongate shaft to translate axially relative to the handle, and an inflatable balloon disposed within the handle. An internal pressure within the inflatable balloon increases as the force absorbing member is compressed.

Abstract: A medical device includes a handle, an elongate shaft extending distally from the handle, the elongate shaft configured to extend through a mouth of a patient and into an upper esophageal pouch of the patient, the elongate shaft having a distal end configured to engage the upper esophageal pouch, and a force absorbing member permitting the elongate shaft to translate axially relative to the handle. The force absorbing member is configured to exert a force along the elongate shaft to apply the force to the upper esophageal pouch. Another medical device includes a tubular member configured to extend through the mouth and into the upper esophageal pouch, a shaft extending distally from the tubular member, and an inflatable member fixedly attached to a distal end of the shaft. The inflatable member is configured to apply a force to the upper esophageal pouch in an inflated configuration.
