    Abstract: A surgical device comprising: a closure assembly including: (a) a latch unit comprising: (A) a hook latch, having a home position, (B) a forward bias constraint, (C) a rearward bias constraint, and (D) a bias member extending between the forward bias constraint and the rearward bias constraint so that the bias member has a pre-load when the hook latch is in the home position; (b) a movement unit including a bar that is movable relative to the latch unit so that the bar is movable in a prescribed motion into contact with the latch unit to create a locked state; and wherein the bar moves into contact with the hook latch driving the hook latch in a first direction, away relative to the home position, and then the hook latch is moved by the bar in a second direction relative to the home position, and a loading of the bias member is increased from the pre-load when the hook latch is moved in either the first direction away from the home position or the second direction away from the home position.

    Abstract: A direct peroral cholangioscopy method comprises inserting an endoscope into a guide sheath, inserting the guide sheath and endoscope into a duodenum, extending a tissue retrieval device through the endoscope into the duodenum, extending an anchor wire into the duodenum, collecting biological matter with the tissue retrieval device, and withdrawing the cholangioscope and tissue retrieval device from the duodenum along the anchor wire. A cholangioscopy system comprises a steerable guide sheath and a cholangioscope comprising a shaft extending to a distal end face for displacement within the steerable guide sheath, a tool lumen extending along the shaft and exiting at the distal end face, an anchor lumen entering the shaft between a proximal end portion and the distal end face and exiting at the distal end face, and an exchange lumen extending from the tool lumen to an exterior of the shaft at the distal end face.

    Abstract: An endoscope may include an expandable and collapsible working channel, a flexible endoscope body, and an optical sensor located at a distal tip of the endoscope body. The optical sensor can provide a distal field of view from the distal tip. In the collapsed configuration, the working channel can be collapsed such that a channel wall is in a first position relative to the endoscope body and the working channel defines a first cross-sectional area. In the expanded configuration, the channel wall is displaced relative to the first position and the working channel defines a second cross-sectional area that is larger than the first cross-sectional area.

    Abstract: A method for delivering surgical material comprises inserting a delivery device into an anatomic area, coupling a surgical material delivery system to the delivery device, the surgical material delivery system having a reservoir of surgical material, positioning an anatomic electrode relative to the anatomic area, applying a first charge to the anatomic electrode, dispensing surgical material from the delivery device, applying a second charge to surgical material leaving the delivery device opposite the first charge, and delivering charged surgical material to the anatomic area proximate the anatomic electrode via a directional-oriented electrostatic field. A surgical system comprises an insertion shaft comprising a passageway and a discharge opening, a first electrode connected to the insertion shaft configured to impart electrical charge to surgical material flowing through the passageway, and a second electrode connected to the insertion shaft configured to impart electrical charge to tissue in contact with the second electrode.

    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include apparatuses and methods for using a tip member to deposit or collect a supply of material from within a body. In an illustrative embodiment, an apparatus includes a tip body defining an annular chamber. A tip receptacle is configured to be joinable with a lumen and to receive a fluid flow therethrough and to convey the fluid flow into the annular chamber. A material distribution element is fluidly coupled with the annular chamber, wherein when the fluid flow is introduced into the annular chamber. The material distribution element diffusively passes the fluid flow out of multiple egress points in at least one of a distal end and a lateral surface of the tip body.
