Apparatus And Methods For Retrieving An Object From A Body Passage
US Patent:
2010004, Feb 18, 2010
Filed:
Aug 13, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/540695
Inventors:
Benjamin F. Merrifield - Olympia WA, US
Assignee:
Wilson-Cook Medical Inc. - Winston-Salem NC
International Classification:
A61B 17/221, A61B 17/50
US Classification:
606106, 606113, 606127
Abstract:
The present invention provides apparatus and methods for retrieving an object from a body passage. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a first tube member, and optionally a second tube member. A proximal region of an arm is secured in place, while a distal region of the arm is coupled to a loop member of a snare. In use, proximal and distal advancement of a control member coupled to the loop member moves the loop member between collapsed and expanded states, respectively. In the collapsed state, the arm preferably does not extend radially beyond an outer diameter of the first tube member, thereby facilitating advancement of the retrieval device to a target site, e.g., via an endoscope. In the expanded state, the arm may move away from the first and second tube members, facilitate positioning of the loop member, and may facilitate capture of the object from the body passage.
