Assignee:

Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc. - Maple Grove MN
International Classification:

A61B 17/10
US Classification:

606142
Abstract:

A tissue clipping apparatus comprises a clip including a proximal end received within a capsule. The clip includes a clip locking member biased to engage a first locking structure of the capsule to lock the clip in the capsule in a closed configuration. The apparatus also comprises a tension member releasably coupling the clip to a proximal end of the device which, during use, remains accessible to a user. The tension member is coupled to the clip by a joint designed to release when subject to a predetermined load to separate the clip from the device, release of the joint releasing the locking member to engage the first locking structure.

US Patent:

20020062130, May 23, 2002
Filed:

Sep 21, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/957356
Inventors:

Kristen Jugenheimer - Cambridge MA, US
Russell Durgin - Attleboro MA, US
Mark Adams - Stoughton MA, US
Mark Monroe - Holliston MA, US
International Classification:

A61B017/10
US Classification:

606/142000
Abstract:

A system and method for delivering a surgical clip to a surgical site within a patient's body to compress body tissue is disclosed. In one embodiment for the system of the present invention, the system includes an endoscopic device that has an endoscope cap disposed on a distal end of the endoscopic device. A surgical clip is removably disposed on an outside surface of the endoscope cap. A deployment device is associated with the surgical clip for deploying the surgical clip from the endoscope cap to the body tissue that is to be compressed. The surgical clip can be a deformable clip that is deployed in a non deformed configuration, and is then deformed so as to apply compression on selected tissue. The surgical clip can be a multi legged clip, having a plurality of legs that can be locked in a closed position to apply compression to body tissue.

Filed:

Jun 16, 2009
Appl. No.:

12/485542
Inventors:

Dmitri Menn - Marblehead MA, US
Russell F. Durgin - Attleboro MA, US

International Classification:

A61B 17/12
US Classification:

606158
Abstract:

A tissue clipping apparatus, comprises a flexible, elongate member, a proximal end of which remains external to the body accessible to a user while a distal end of the flexible member is inserted into the body to a location adjacent to target tissue to be clipped and a control wire extending through the flexible member in combination with a capsule releasably coupled to a distal end of the flexible member and a clip a proximal portion of which is received within the capsule. A joint releasably coupling the clip to the control wire, includes a yoke extending around a proximal end of the clip and a frangible link which fails when subject to a predetermined force to separate the clip from the control wire.
