Abstract: In an exemplary arrangement, a vapor generator for use in a medical device may include a heating core in fluid communication with a source of fluid and defining at least one fluid pathway along which fluid from the source of fluid travels. The at least one fluid pathway may include one or more surfaces that generate turbulence in the fluid. The vapor generator may also include a coil disposed about the heating core, wherein the coil is configured to receive a current so as to heat the fluid traveling along the at least one fluid pathway, thereby generating a vapor.

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.
