Abstract

Polypectomy devices and methods for making and using polypectomy devices are disclosed. An example polypectomy device may include an elongate sheath having a proximal end and a distal end. A handle assembly may be coupled to the proximal end. The handle assembly may include a first actuator and a second actuator. A first shaft may extend through the sheath and may be coupled to the first actuator. An end effector may be coupled to the first shaft. A second shaft may extend through the sheath and may be coupled to the second actuator. A retention member may be coupled to the second shaft. The first actuator may be designed to shift the end effector between a housed configuration and a deployed configuration. The second actuator may be designed to shift the retention member between a retracted configuration and a holding configuration.
