Abstract:
An endoscopic grasping device for use during an endoscopic procedure. The device includes at least a fork operably connected to a pair of jaws pivotally mounted about a pivot point to the fork. A pusher is disposed within the fork and operably connected to a drive wire and a pair of arms. Each arm is attached to a respective jaw and configured to move that jaw upon a movement of the pusher in a distal direction or proximal direction resulting in the pair of jaws being in a closed position and a open position. Each jaw includes a plurality of teeth extending therefrom and towards the opposite jaw. One or more of the teeth are backwards curved and angled in a proximal direction from the jaw to improve a grasping, cutting, and handling feature of the teeth.
