Medical systems for endoscopically suturing perforations

摘要

Medical systems, devices and methods are disclosed for suturing a perforation in tissue, that may be employed endoscopically and/or laparoscopically, and that offer simple, reliable and controllable placement of suture around a perforation for complete closure thereof. One embodiment of the medical system generally includes an endoscope, an endcap, a needle, a suture, and first and second grip systems configured for relative translation to selectively pass the needle between the first and second grip systems.
