HEMOSTASIS CLIP - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18677410 titled 'HEMOSTASIS CLIP
The device described in the patent application is a tissue treatment device that includes a capsule with a channel and clip arms. The arms can move between a tissue receiving configuration and a tissue clipping configuration.
- The device has clip arms with proximal and distal parts that can be separated and moved toward each other.
- The arms can lock over target tissue to be clipped while the proximal parts are removed from the body.
- The arms move within the channel of the capsule to perform tissue treatment.
Potential Applications: - Minimally invasive surgical procedures - Endoscopic interventions - Tissue biopsy procedures
Problems Solved: - Facilitates precise tissue clipping - Enables efficient tissue treatment - Enhances surgical outcomes
Benefits: - Improved accuracy in tissue clipping - Reduced risk of damage to surrounding tissue - Enhanced control during surgical procedures
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Tissue Treatment Device for Minimally Invasive Surgery This technology could be used in various medical settings for surgical procedures, endoscopic interventions, and tissue biopsies. The market implications include improved patient outcomes, reduced surgical risks, and increased efficiency in tissue treatment procedures.
Questions about the Innovative Tissue Treatment Device: 1. How does the device ensure precise tissue clipping during surgical procedures? The device's clip arms can lock over target tissue to be clipped, providing accurate and controlled tissue treatment.
2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond surgical procedures? In addition to surgical procedures, this technology could be used in endoscopic interventions and tissue biopsy procedures for various medical applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
A device for treating tissue includes a capsule defining a channel extending therethrough and clip arms. Each of the arms includes a proximal part releasably coupled to a distal part, a proximal portion of the distal part configured to be received within the channel of the capsule so that the arms move proximally and distally relative to the capsule between a tissue receiving configuration, in which distal ends of the arms are separated from one another, and a tissue clipping configuration, in which distal ends of the arms are moved toward one another. The proximal portion of each of the arms is configured to release from the corresponding distal part to lock the distal part of each of the arms over a portion of target tissue to be clipped while the proximal parts of the arms are removed from the body.
