REPOSITIONABLE OVER-THE-SCOPE CLIP WITH CANCER SEEDING PREVENTION IN FULL TISSUE RESECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240008878 titled 'REPOSITIONABLE OVER-THE-SCOPE CLIP WITH CANCER SEEDING PREVENTION IN FULL TISSUE RESECTION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a clipping system that includes a clip, extending and control members, and an endcap mounted on an insertion device. The clip has a planar body with cut-outs defining fingers. The control members slide within the extending members to releasably couple to the clip, allowing movement of the control members to change the configuration of the clip.

  • The clip can be moved between an insertion configuration, an initial deployed configuration, and a review configuration.
  • In the review configuration, the endcap is withdrawn away from the clip to improve visual observation.
  • The control member can retract the clip over the endcap towards the insertion configuration, forcing the fingers open and freeing the clip from tissue it was clipped to, allowing repositioning if needed.

Potential Applications:

  • Medical procedures requiring clipping or repositioning of objects or tissues.
  • Surgical procedures where visual observation of the clipped object is important.

Problems Solved:

  • Difficulty in visual observation of a clipped object during a medical procedure.
  • Inability to easily reposition a clip once it has been deployed.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced visual observation of the clipped object in the review configuration.
  • Flexibility to reposition the clip if necessary, improving the accuracy of the procedure.


Original Abstract Submitted

a clipping system includes a clip, extending and control members and an endcap mounted on an insertion device. a planar body of the clip includes first and second cut-outs defining fingers. the control members slide within extending members to releasably couple to the clip so that movement the control members moves the clip between an insertion configuration, an initial deployed configuration and a review configuration in which the end cap is withdrawn proximally away from the clip to enhance visual observation of the clip. the control member is operable to retract the clip proximally over the end cap toward the insertion configuration so that the fingers are forced open as the clip is retracted over the end cap, freeing the clip from tissue on which it had been clipped to reposition the clip if necessary.
