Abstract: A medical instrument may include a tube, a sheath provided around and coaxial with the tube, and an inflatable balloon at a distal end of the sheath. The balloon may receive a fluid from a lumen of the sheath, and may have a central opening along a longitudinal axis thereof, and into which the tube extends, a proximal portion, a middle portion adjacent to and distal of the proximal portion, and a distal portion adjacent to and proximal of the middle portion. When the balloon is inflated with the fluid, a maximum diameter of the middle portion may be less than a maximum diameter of the proximal portion, and less than a maximum diameter of the distal portion. The medical instrument may also include an extraction member provided at a distal end of the tube, distal to the balloon, and movable axially relative to the balloon.

Abstract: A medical device may include a main shaft extending from a proximal end to a distal end; an actuator at a proximal portion of the medical device; an end effector positioned at a distal end of the main shaft and comprising a first jaw and a second jaw; a motor; and a torque amplification system. The torque amplification system may include a driveshaft coupled to the motor; a spring coupled to the driveshaft and configured to expand or contract in a proximal or a distal direction relative to the driveshaft; a hammer moveably coupled to the driveshaft; and an anvil coupled to the end effector and abutting the hammer. The anvil may be configured to provide a rotational power output to the end effector to move the first jaw and/or the second jaw.

Abstract: An ostomy device an implant and a balloon. The implant is sized and shaped for implantation in a hole in an abdomen. The implant comprises a tubular body defining a channel extending from a first end to a second end. The first end is configured to interface with a lumen interior to the abdomen. The second end is configured to provide a path from the lumen through the channel to an exterior of the abdomen. The implant is configured to be attached to the hole or to skin adjacent to the hole. The balloon is attached to the first end of the implant. The balloon is deflatable into a closed state to prevent a flow of waste from the lumen through the path. The balloon is inflatable into an open state to allow the flow of the waste from the lumen through the path.

Abstract: A method for removing one or more objects or materials from a body lumen includes delivering a tube and an expandable device to the body lumen to a position proximal to the one or more objects or materials. The expandable device is positioned with a lumen of the tube, and the expandable device includes a lumen extending from a distal portion to a proximal portion. The method further includes proximally retracting the tube such that the expandable device remains in the position proximal to the one or more objects or materials, distally advancing the expandable device such that the distal portion of the expandable device at least partially surrounds the one or more objects or materials, at least partially closing a distal end of the expandable device, and moving the expandable device proximally to remove the expandable device and the one or more objects or materials from the lumen.
