Full thickness resectioning device
First Claim
1. A full thickness resection device comprising:
- a control handle including an actuator wherein, when the device is in an operative position within a body lumen of a patient, the control handle remains outside the patient'"'"'s body;
a working head assembly coupled to a control handle by a flexible sheath, wherein, when the device is in the operative position;
the working head assembly is located within a body lumen of the patient adjacent to a portion of tissue to be treated, the working head assembly including a tissue stapling mechanism including first and second tissue stapling members moveable relative to one another; and
a first cable extending from the actuator through the flexible sheath to the first tissue stapling member so that, when the actuator is operated to draw the first cable proximally from the sheath, the first tissue stapling member is moved in a first direction relative to the second tissue stapling member.

10. A full thickness resection device comprising:
-
a control handle including an actuator wherein, when the device is in an operative position within a body lumen of a patient, the control handle remains outside the patient'"'"'s body;
a working head assembly coupled to a control handle by a flexible sheath, wherein, when the device is in the operative position;
the working head assembly is located within a body lumen of the patient adjacent to a portion of tissue to be treated, the working head assembly including a tissue stapling mechanism including first and second tissue stapling members moveable relative to one another;
a flexible drive shaft extending from the actuator through the flexible sheath to the working head assembly;
a first threaded member coupled to a distal end of the drive shaft for rotation therewith; and
a first mounting bar coupled to the first tissue stapling member and movably received within the working head assembly, the first mounting bar including a threaded channel formed therein with the first threaded member received therein so that rotation of the first threaded member within the threaded channel moves the first mounting bar and the first member relative to the second tissue stapling member. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
