US Patent 10285726 Mucosal resection device and related methods of use

A resection device for resecting tissue from a body. The device includes an elongate member having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending from the proximal end to the distal end. The device further includes a cap assembly configured to be coupled to the distal end of the elongate member. The cap assembly may include a first cap defining a resection loop channel and a distal end having a first opening. The assembly may further include a second cap configured to receive a portion of the first cap. The second cap includes a distal end having a second opening. A distal portion of the first cap and a distal portion of the second cap may cooperate to define a resection loop track for receiving a resection loop.
