摘要:
An apparatus is provided that includes an elongate member having a distal end portion, a proximal end portion, and a medial portion that is disposed between the distal end portion and the proximal end portion. The medial portion is configured to be disposed in a ureter of a patient. The apparatus further includes an expandable member that is coupled to the elongate member. The expandable member has an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration. The expandable member is further configured to be inserted into the ureter of the patient and configured to contact the ureter to help retain the elongate member in place within the patient.

摘要:
A medical device and related methods of use are disclosed. The medical device includes a tubular member having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending between the proximal end and the distal end. The medical device further includes an elongate member having a proximal end and a distal end, such that at least a portion of the elongate member is movably disposed within the lumen of the tubular member. The distal end of the elongate member includes an end-effector, wherein a portion of the elongate member between the proximal end and the distal end transitions automatically from a first state to a second state when the portion is advanced out of the lumen of the tubular member, and wherein the portion is proximal of the end-effector.
摘要:
A device may include a sheath including a lumen, a distal end, and a proximal end. The device may further include an end-effector unit and an elongate member connected to the end-effector unit. The end-effector unit and the sheath may be movable relative to each other to achieve a first state of the end-effector unit and a second state of the end-effector unit. Moreover, the medical device may include a handle having a first handle portion connected to the proximal end of the sheath, a second handle portion connected to the proximal end of the elongate member, and a compliant member longitudinally aligned with the sheath between the first handle portion and the second handle portion. The first and second handle portions may be configured such that relative movement of the first and second handle portions causes the end-effector to move between the first and second states.
