MEDICAL SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND RELATED METHODS FOR LIFTING TISSUE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240307052 titled 'MEDICAL SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND RELATED METHODS FOR LIFTING TISSUE

The abstract describes a medical system that includes an insertion device with a working channel, a first medical device, and a second medical device. The first medical device has a handle, a control element, a detachable portion, a helical coil, and a loop. The detachable portion is coupled to the control element, and the loop is coupled to the detachable portion. The second medical device is designed to receive the loop and couple it to a treatment site.

• The medical system includes an insertion device with a working channel.
• A first medical device with a handle, control element, detachable portion, helical coil, and loop.
• The detachable portion is coupled to the control element, and the loop is coupled to the detachable portion.
• A second medical device is configured to receive the loop and couple it to a treatment site.
