Abstract: A medical device includes an operating member, a hub, and an end effector. The operating member includes an actuation portion. The hub includes a channel receiving the actuation portion of the operating member. The actuation portion of the operating member moves within the channel. The end effector is movable between a closed configuration and an open configuration. Distal extension of the operating member transitions the end effector to the open configuration, and proximal retraction of the operating member transitions the end effector to the closed configuration. The medical device is formed through an additive manufacturing process.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an elevator of a medical device comprises using an additive manufacturing method, forming a pivot portion at a proximal end of the elevator. The pivot portion tapers proximally such that a proximalmost end of the elevator is thinner than more distal portions of the pivot portion. The method further comprises using the additive manufacturing method, forming a body of the elevator that is distal to the pivot portion. The elevator body includes a surface configured to contact an instrument inserted in a working channel of the medical device.
