TISSUE MANIPULATING SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF USE

Abstract: this patent document discloses devices, systems, and associated methods for cutting, manipulating, and stabilizing tissue. a system for manipulating tissue in a prostatic urethra includes a handle body having a deployment actuator or a cutter actuator, along with an inflation port. an elongate member is coupled to a distal end of the handle body, and an expandable member is coupled to a distal end of the elongate member, which also includes a delivery body or a cutter body. the expandable member is configured to stabilize the delivery body or the cutter body against target tissue when the expandable member is expanded. a tissue manipulation structure, such as a cutter, is configured to move from a first position to a second position in which at least a portion of the structure extends into the surrounding prostatic tissue.
