In accordance with some configurations, systems and methods for guided removal from an in vivo subject are provided. In some configurations, a method for removing an object is provided. The method comprising, guiding a flexible tube through a passageway of an in vivo subject, wherein the flexible tube comprises at least a first passageway and a second passageway. Positioning a distal end of the first passageway in proximity to the object. Infusing liquid through the second passageway substantially continuously. Removing the object through the first passageway with at least a portion of the liquid while suction is not being provided.

A clip for holding one or more buttons of a medical device in a pre-use state. The clip includes an elongate band for wrapping around the medical device. A receiving portion formed in the elongate band that is configured to receive at least one button when the band is wrapped around the medical device and a retaining means for retaining the band around the medical device.

An intraluminal system for aspirating biological material from a lumen of a patient includes a disposable intraluminal device having a proximal portion and a distal portion. The system includes a disposable pump configured to aspirate the biological material from the lumen of the patient. The disposable pump is coupled to the proximal portion of the intraluminal device. The disposable pump comprises a pump chassis that houses: an inlet port configured to sealably attach to the proximal portion of the intraluminal device; an outlet port configured to expel the aspirated biological from the pump; and a flow controller configured to adjust a fluid flow through the pump, wherein the pump chassis is sized and shaped to be manually supported by a user.

A surgical instrument for suction and irrigation, includes: an insertion tube inserted into the body of a patient; an instrument body coupled to the insertion tube and disposed outside the body of the patient; an irrigation fluid control valve coupled to the instrument body; and a drainage fluid control valve coupled to the instrument body and separated a predetermined distance from the irrigation fluid control valve in a longitudinal direction of the instrument body.

Kits, devices, systems and related methods for obtaining a nasopharyngeal sample utilize a rinsing fluid supply component and a collecting component, which may be used as separate modules or integrated with a housing to form a handheld unit that may be operated with a single hand. The dispensing component may include a flexible reservoir pump containing a supply of rinsing fluid, and a first nostril interface adapted to engage a first nostril of a patient and guide a stream of rinsing fluid into the patient's nasal cavity. The collecting component may include a collection container and a second nostril interface adapted to engage a second nostril of a patient and collect effluent. An absorbent shield may be arranged on the integrated unit to absorb stray fluid.

An apparatus, system and method for a handpiece for ocular surgical. Included may be at least: a proximal portion having at least inlet ports for irrigation tubing and aspiration tubing, and providing an irrigation fluidic pathway extending therethrough from the irrigation tubing inlet port, and an aspiration fluidic pathway extending therethrough from the aspiration inlet port; a distal portion terminating in an emulsifying tip, and providing an aspiration pathway terminating in an aspiration output, and at least one irrigation pathway terminating in at least one irrigation output; and a swivel ball provided at a base of the proximal portion and having a first opening to the irrigation fluidic pathway, and a second opening to the aspiration fluidic pathway, which seats within a socket cup provided at an upper end of the distal portion.
