    Abstract: A surgical device comprising: a closure assembly including: (a) a movement unit configured to be connected to a movable member, the movement unit including: (i) one or more bars; (ii) one or more bar biasing members in communication with the movement unit and moving the one or more bars; (b) a latch unit configured to be connected to a ground member, the latch unit including: (i) one or more hook latches that selectively receive the one or more bars, and (ii) one or more latch biasing members in communication with the one or more hook latches to selectively move the one or more hook latches; wherein all or a portion of the latch unit is movable relative to the ground member and all or a portion of the movement unit is movable relative to the movable member, and the latch unit and the movement unit are movable relative to each other when the latch unit and the movement unit are in contact.

    Abstract: An optical fiber having a distal end extending from a distal end of an endoscope can direct light to and from a target. An interferometer can receive first light pulses from a first frequency comb having a first repetition rate, form reference arm light pulses and measurement arm light pulses from the first light pulses, direct the measurement arm light pulses to and from the target via the optical fiber to form return light pulses, and interfere the return light pulses with the reference arm light pulses to form interferometer output pulses. A beamsplitter can interfere the interferometer output pulses with second light pulses from a second frequency comb having a second repetition rate to form system output pulses. Processor circuitry can determine, from a time duration between consecutive system output pulses, a spacing between the optical fiber and the target, and can take an action in response.

    Abstract: A method of withdrawing an endoscope from anatomy comprises inserting the endoscope into the anatomy to deliver a distal end of the endoscope to a location, positioning a guide sheath around a proximal end of the endoscope, sliding the guide sheath along the endoscope to reach the distal end and withdrawing the endoscope from the guide sheath and anatomy. A system for intraoperatively attaching a suturing device to an in-situ endoscope comprises an insertion sheath comprising an elongate tunnel body extending between proximal and distal ends and a slit extending axially along the elongate tunnel body, and a suturing device couplable in a releasable manner to an endoscope. A reinsertion sheath for an endoscope comprises an elongate body comprising proximal and distal ends and a skin extending axially between the proximal and distal ends, and a slit extending along the shaft to allow circumferential expansion of the elongate body.
