CLIP SYSTEMS FOR TREATING BODY TISSUES

摘要

A device for compressing body tissue includes a clip having a connection portion with first and second clip arms extending therefrom, the clip includes a recess formed on an inner surface of the connection portion, the recess being shaped and sized to slidably receive a mounting bar coupled to an outer surface of an endoscope on which the mounting bar is mounted with inner surfaces of the first and second clip arms maintained in an open position by contact between an endoscope on which the mounting bar is mounted and the inner surfaces of the first and second clip arms. The clip is slidable over the outer surface of an endoscope on which the mounting bar is mounted until the clip moves distally beyond the distal end of the endoscope so that the first and second clip arms spring closed to grip tissue therebetween.

主权项

1. A system for compressing body tissue, comprising:
a mounting bar comprising a coupling structure for mounting the mounting bar on an endoscope so that the mounting bar extends along a distal end of an endoscope on which the mounting bar is mounted parallel to a longitudinal axis; a clip comprising a connection portion with first and second clip arms extending therefrom, the clip including a recess formed on an inner surface of the connection portion, the recess being shaped and sized to slidably receive the mounting bar with inner surfaces of the first and second clip arms being maintained in an open position by contact between an endoscope and the inner surfaces of the first and second clip arms; and a control member coupled to the clip to move the clip along the mounting bar until the clip moves distally beyond the distal end of an endoscope so that the first and second clip arms spring closed to grip tissue therebetween.
