SYSTEMS FOR REDUCING FLUID LEAKAGE AND SPRAY-BACK FROM ENDOSCOPIC MEDICAL PROCEDURES

摘要

Assemblies and methods of inserting a delivery catheter assembly into a working channel are disclosed. In accordance with some embodiments, a delivery catheter assembly is disclosed in which a tip protector sleeve is locked onto an elongated catheter sheath and slideable over a length of the elongated catheter sheath between a proximal-stop position and a distal-stop position along the elongated catheter sheath. In accordance with some embodiments, a sealing cap is disclosed in which a proximal seal of the sealing cap is configured to reduce fluid leakage when a delivery system is inserted through the proximal seal, and a self closing seal of the sealing cap is configured to reduce fluid leakage when a delivery system is not inserted into the sealing cap.
