Patent Issued for Tissue acquisition helix device (USPTO 12075991).

A patent has been issued for a tissue acquisition helix device developed by inventors from Boston Scientific Scimed Inc. The device is designed to close large defects resulting from endoscopic treatments that are too large for hemostasis clips. The device consists of a sheath, a control wire, a tubular connector, and a helical coil with a sharpened distal tip. The helical coil can be slidably deployed to extend beyond the sheath, and the device may also include an inner sheath and a visual indicator on the control wire. The patent provides alternative designs, materials, and methods for endoscopically closing large defects. [Extracted from the article]
