Estimating the term…
A tissue traction device having a target-tissue-engaging segment and more than one traction-tissue-engaging segment spaced apart from the target-tissue-engaging segment. The tissue traction device may have a peripheral section with at least one traction-tissue-engagement section therein, with at least one of the traction-tissue-engaging segments defined on such traction-tissue-engagement section. An additional traction-tissue-engagement segment may be defined within the peripheral section, optionally on an additional traction-tissue-engagement section, and/or within the at least one traction-tissue-engagement section. One or more traction-tissue-engagement segments within the peripheral section may be simultaneously and/or sequentially engaged with traction tissue to achieve varying force vectors of traction on the target tissue. A hanger may be provided on a tissue-engagement member or on the peripheral section of the tissue traction device to hold one or more of the traction-tissue-engaging segments extended from within the peripheral section of the tissue traction device to the traction tissue.
A tissue traction device comprising:
a peripheral section defining a perimeter of said tissue traction device;
a target-tissue-engaging segment engageable with target tissue;
a first loop-shaped traction-tissue-engaging section within said peripheral section and having a first traction-tissue-engaging segment engageable with traction tissue;
a second loop-shaped traction-tissue-engaging section within said first loop-shaped traction-tissue-engaging section and having a second traction-tissue-engaging segment engageable with traction tissue.
A tissue traction device comprising:
a target-tissue engaging segment engageable with target tissue;
a first traction-tissue-engaging section having a first traction-tissue-engaging segment engageable with traction tissue and spaced apart from said target-tissue engaging segment;
a second traction-tissue-engaging section within said first traction-tissue-engaging section and having a second traction-tissue-engaging segment engageable with traction tissue and spaced apart from said target-tissue engaging segment.
said peripheral section and said first traction-tissue-engaging section are each in the form of a loop;
said first traction-tissue-engaging section is internally tangent with said peripheral section adjacent said target-tissue-engaging segment.
said second traction-tissue-engaging section is in the form of a loop;
said second traction-tissue-engaging section is internally tangent with said first traction-tissue-engaging section.
A traction system comprising:
a tissue traction device comprising:
a peripheral section defining a perimeter;
a first traction-tissue-engaging section extending within the perimeter and having a first traction-tissue-engaging segment;
a second traction-tissue-engaging section within said first traction tissue-engaging section and having a second traction-tissue-engaging segment;
a tissue-engagement member having a hanger configured to hold at least one traction-tissue-engaging segment of said tissue traction device adjacent the tissue.
