Adaptor for Endoscopic Orientation of an Elongate Medical Device
First Claim
1. An adaptor to orient an elongate medical device in relation to an endoscope, the adaptor comprising:
- a first portion having a distal end connectable and rotationally securable to an endoscope and a proximal end, the first portion having a first lumen defined longitudinally therethrough and one of an orienting key or a keyway extending longitudinally at least partially along the first portion;
and a second portion connectable to the first portion and including a second lumen extending longitudinally through the second portion and operably connectable to the first lumen, the second portion having the other of the key or the keyway extending longitudinally at least partially along the second portion, the keyway configured to releasably mate with the key to orient and rotationally secure the second portion relative to the first portion;
wherein the second portion is configured to receive an elongate medical device longitudinally movable in relation to the second portion and rotationally secured relative to the second portion, the elongate medical device adapted to extend distally through the endoscope and having a tip that is orientable in relation to a distal portion of the endoscope portion, andwherein the adaptor is configured to orient the tip portion relative to the endoscope.

Abstract
An adaptor, a system and a method to orient an elongate medical device in relation to an endoscope are provided. The adaptor includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes a connecting portion to rotationally securable to a distal end of the first portion to the endoscope, a first lumen extending longitudinally through the first portion and operably connectable to a working channel of the endoscope, and one of an orienting key or a keyway extending longitudinally at least partially along the first portion. The second portion is releasably connectable to the first portion and includes the other of the key or the keyway extending longitudinally along at least a portion of the second portion and a second lumen operably connectable to the first lumen and configured to receive an elongate medical device rotationally secured in relation to the second portion therethrough.

13. A system to orient an elongate medical device relative to an endoscope, the system comprising:
-
an endoscope; an adaptor connected and rotationally secured to the endoscope;
the adaptor comprising;a first portion comprising; a connecting portion to rotationally secure a distal end of the first portion to the endoscope; a first lumen extending longitudinally through the first portion and operably connectable to a working channel of the endoscope; and one of an orienting key or a keyway extending longitudinally at least partially along the first portion; and a second portion releasably connectable to the first portion, the second portion comprising; the other of the key or the keyway extending longitudinally along at least a portion of the second portion, the other of the key or the keyway configured to engage the key or the keyway on the first portion to rotationally fix the second portion in relation to the first portion; and a second lumen operably connectable to the first lumen and configured to receive an elongate medical device rotationally secured in relation to the second portion therethrough; and an elongate medical device rotationally secured to the second portion and longitudinally movable through the second lumen. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A method for orienting an elongate medical device extending through a working channel of an endoscope and having a distal tip portion extending distally from a distal end of the working channel of the endoscope, the adaptor including a first portion and a second portion, the second portion having an elongate medical device rotationally secured thereto, the method comprising;
-
connecting a first portion of the adaptor to the endoscope so as to rotationally secure the first portion in relation to the endoscope and operably connects a first lumen of the first portion with the working channel of the endoscope; extending a distal portion of an elongate medical device longitudinally through the first lumen and into the working channel of the endoscope; connecting the second portion to the first portion and rotationally securing the second portion to the first portion by engaging one of a key or a keyway on the second portion to the other of the key or the key way on the first portion. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
