Abstract
Endolumenal devices and methods can be used for the treatment of health conditions involving the different layers of the gastrointestinal tract. For example, this document describes devices and methods for treating diseases involving the gastrointestinal tract by endoscopically delivering pulsed electrical field or electroporation energy.
Claims14
An electroporation device comprising:
- a shaft defining a lumen therethrough;
- an expandable balloon circumferentially attached about a distal portion of the shaft;
- and
- one or more electrodes that are selectively deployable to extend laterally from the balloon and that are completely retractable into the balloon.

An electroporation device comprising:
- a shaft defining a lumen therethrough;
- an expandable frame circumferentially attached about a distal portion of the shaft;
- and
- one or more electrodes that are selectively deployable to extend laterally from the frame and that are completely retractable into the frame.
1 more element
An electroporation device comprising:
- a cap configured to be releasably attached to a distal end portion of a shaft of an endoscopic device;
- and
- one or more electrodes that are selectively deployable to extend distally from the cap and that are completely retractable into the cap.
