SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND RELATED METHODS FOR STABLIZING MEDICAL DEVICES
A medical device comprises: a base configured to be coupled to a solid structure or a bite block and one or more stabilizer assemblies. A first stabilizer assembly is configured to selectively inhibit a shaft of an endoscope from moving in an axial direction relative to the base or the bite block, and configured to allow a shaft of an endoscope to be rotated relative to the base or the bite block. A second stabilizer assembly is configured to selectively inhibit the shaft of the endoscope from rotating relative to the base or the bite block, and configured to allow the shaft of the endoscope to move in an axial direction relative to the base or the bite block.
Patient interface
A patient interface includes a first body that rests on a first portion of a patient's face, a second body that rests on a second portion of the patient's face, and a bridge linking the first and second bodies. The patient interface includes an attachment structure that couples with a complementary fixation structure positioned on the patient's face to secure the patient interface to the patient's face. The complementary fixation structure can be configured to assist in retaining a feeding tube in position relative to the patient's face or to the patient interface.
Stabilizing transnasal balloon sheath
A transnasal transesophageal balloon catheter includes at least one compliant balloon attached to the external surface of the tubular body. An arrangement of structures extend away from the internal surface of the tubular body, and exposed probe guide surfaces on the structures form a lumen with a diameter of less than about 15 French (Fr) (5 mm) extending from the proximal end to the distal end of the tubular body and configured to slidably and rotatably receive the ultrasound probe. An arrangement of elongate fluid channels are interspersed with the structures. The fluid channels are in fluid communication with the lumen and transport a fluid between a fluid ingress port and a fluid egress port to at least partially inflate or deflate the balloon.
