Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to the field of medical devices. In particular, the present disclosure relates to valve configurations providing sealable access for medical instruments to a working channel, such as a working channel for an endoscope.
Claims20
A device for providing reinforced sealable access to a working channel, comprising:
- a tubular body having a proximal end, a distal end and a longitudinal axis, the distal end configured to be removably disposed on a proximal end of the working channel in fluid communication therewith;
- a substantially linear aperture at the proximal end of the body configured to allow one or more medical instruments to be passed therethrough and, at the same time, substantially seal against fluids from the working channel passing therethrough;
- and
- a plurality of reinforcing ribs arrayed about the aperture to reinforce the aperture against tearing.

A device for providing reinforced sealable access to a working channel, comprising:
- a tubular body having a proximal end, a distal end and a longitudinal axis, the distal end configured to be removably disposed on a proximal end of the working channel in fluid communication therewith;
- an aperture at the proximal end of the body having a first and a second end, the aperture configured to allow one or more medical instruments to be passed therethrough and, at the same time, substantially seal against fluids from the working channel passing therethrough;
- and
- wherein the aperture comprises a reinforced pattern that extends in a plane substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis in more than one dimension.
