Abstract
A medical device includes a handle with a proximal arm and a distal arm. The proximal arm and the distal arm are pivotable via a joint. The medical device also includes a tube coupled to the distal arm and a drive wire. A distal portion of the drive wire includes an expandable end effector. A portion of the drive wire is positioned within the tube, and a different portion of the drive wire extends proximally of the distal arm and is coupled to the proximal arm.
Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
A medical device, comprising:
- a handle, wherein the handle includes a proximal arm and a distal arm, wherein the distal arm includes a first port, a first internal lumen fluidly connected to the first port, a second port, and a second internal lumen fluidly connected to the second port;
- an outer tube coupled to the first internal lumen;
- an inner tube coupled to the second internal lumen;
- a wire, wherein a portion of the wire is positioned within the inner tube and moveable through the second internal lumen, and wherein movement of the proximal arm and the distal arm relative to each other controls a position of the wire relative to the inner tube,
- wherein the first port is couplable to one of a fluid source or a suction source to deliver fluid or apply suction through the outer tube;
- and
- wherein the second port is couplable to the other of the fluid source or suction source to deliver fluid or apply suction through the inner tube.
A medical device, comprising:
- a handle, wherein the handle includes a proximal arm and a distal arm, wherein the distal arm includes a first port, a first internal lumen fluidly connected to the first port, a second port, a second internal lumen fluidly connected to the second port, and a seal at a proximal end of the distal arm;
- an outer tube coupled to the first internal lumen;
- an inner tube coupled to the second internal lumen;
- a wire, wherein a portion of the wire is positioned within the inner tube and moveable through the second internal lumen, and wherein movement of the proximal arm and the distal arm relative to each other controls a position of the wire relative to the inner tube,
- wherein the first port is couplable to a fluid source to deliver fluid through the outer tube, and
- wherein the second port is couplable to a suction source to apply suction through the inner tube.
