Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to the field of medical devices. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a tissue traction device for endoscopic procedures such as tissue dissection. For example, a tissue traction device may include first and second attachment members pivotably attached by first and second swivels to opposite ends of a stretchable traction band comprising a compliant or semi-compliant material.
Claims19
A tissue traction device, comprising:
- a traction band comprising a compliant or semi-compliant material;
- and
- a filament disposed along a length of the traction band, the filament having different stretching characteristics than the traction band;
- wherein the filament comprises a substantially compliant or semi-compliant material configured to increase a traction force of the traction band.
1 more element
A tissue traction system, comprising:
- a flexible elongate tubular member defining a working channel therethrough;
- a first instrument disposed within the working channel;
- a first tissue clip configured to engage tissue and releasably coupled to a distal end of the first instrument;
- and
- a tissue traction device disposed within the working channel and comprising a stretchable traction band and a filament disposed along the stretchable traction band to prevent over-stretching of the traction band.
