Abstract
A medical device that includes a shaft having a distal end and a cap at the distal end that defines a reservoir for storing a material. The medical device includes a deployment mechanism configured to eject the material from the reservoir, and the deployment mechanism is configured to apply a force to the reservoir. The cap includes a seal or a perforation that is configured to contain the material in the reservoir in the absence of the force applied by the deployment mechanism to the material.
Claims20
A medical device, comprising:
- a shaft having a distal end;
- a cap at the distal end, wherein the cap defines a reservoir for storing a material;
- and
- a deployment mechanism configured to eject the material from the reservoir, wherein the deployment mechanism is configured to apply a force to the reservoir;
- wherein the cap includes a seal or a perforation, wherein the seal or the perforation is configured to contain the material in the reservoir in the absence of the force applied by the deployment mechanism to the material.
2 more elements
A medical device, comprising:
- a cap configured to be attached to a distal end of a scope, wherein the cap defines a reservoir for storing a material, wherein the cap includes
- a removable seal configured to expose the reservoir and the material upon removal of the seal from a remainder of the cap;
- and
- a deployment mechanism configured to eject the material from the reservoir, wherein the deployment mechanism is configured to generate a positive pressure within the reservoir.
1 more element
A medical device, comprising:
- a cap configured to be attached to a distal end of a scope, wherein the cap defines a reservoir for storing a material, wherein the cap includes
- a plurality of perforations configured to expand and allow the material to exit the cap;
- and
- a deployment mechanism configured to eject the material from the reservoir via the plurality of perforations, wherein the deployment mechanism is configured to apply a force to the material within the reservoir.
