Abstract
A medical device for causing the hemostasis of a blood vessel for use through an endoscope comprises: a handle; a sheath device, which is attached to the handle; a clamp device including a clamp housing provided on the distal end of the sheath device and at least two, in particular exactly two clamp arms; a control wire extending through the sheath device and reversibly movable in the distal and proximal direction; an actuator coupled to the proximal end of the control wire and actuable to reversibly move the control wire in the distal and proximal direction; wherein the clamp arms are each coupled to the distal end of the control wire.
Claims12
A medical device for causing hemostasis of blood vessel comprising:
- a handle;
- a sheath device, which is attached to the handle;
- a clamp device comprising a clamp housing provided on the distal end of the sheath device and at least two clamp arms;
- a control wire extending through the sheath device and reversibly moveable in the distal and proximal direction;
- an actuator coupled to the proximal end of the control wire and actuable to reversibly move the control wire in the distal and proximal direction;
- wherein the clamp arms are each coupled to the distal end of the control wire and wherein the clamp device is actuable to open and close the clamp arms by a movement of the control wire such that a movement of the control wire in a proximal direction is translated into a closing movement of the clamp arms and a movement of the control wire in the distal direction is translated into an opening movement of the clamp arms;
- wherein the sheath device comprises a sheath and a connect tube, which defines a longitudinal axis and is fixedly connected to the distal end of the sheath;
- where the clamp housing is directly and releasably connected to the connect tube in such a way that the clamp housing can be rotated relative to the connect tube about the longitudinal axis,
- wherein the clamp housing and the connect tube are connected to each other by a push-in connection that forms an overlapping section of the connect tube and the clamp housing,
- wherein:
- either the clamp housing as an inner element is pushed into the connect tube as an outer element,
- or the connect tube as an inner element is pushed into the clamp housing as an outer element,
- wherein at least two through-apertures are formed in the overlapping section of the inner element located with an angular offset in the circumferential direction and an inwardly facing ring groove is formed in the overlapping section of the outer element, and
- at least one connecting element engages through the at least two through-apertures of the inner element into the ring groove of the outer element to connect the clamp housing to the sheath device such that the clamp housing can be rotated relative to the connect tube of the sheath device.
