Abstract
An apparatus (10) for insertion into a body lumen (16) includes an elongate member (30) having a proximal end (32) and a distal end (34) insertable into the body lumen (16). At least one clamping arm (100) includes a first end (102) having a pivotal connection with the distal end (34) of the elongate member (30). The pivotal connection provides pivotal movement of the at least one clamping arm (100) relative to the elongate member (30). The at least one clamping arm (100) extends away from the pivotal connection toward the proximal end (32) of the elongate member (30). The apparatus (10) also includes a control mechanism (40) for controlling the pivotal movement of the at least one clamping arm (100) relative to the elongate member (30). The apparatus (10) may also include an assembly (150) for controlling advancement of the member (30) in the body lumen (16).
