Claim 18:
19. A method, comprising:
positioning a platform device at a treatment site, wherein the platform device includes an inner tube and a plurality of outer tubes arranged about a periphery of the inner tube, wherein each of the outer tubes is coupled to the periphery of the inner tube via one or more movable supports, wherein each of the movable supports is coupled to one or more separate control wires, and wherein the one or more separate control wires extend from a portion of the movable supports to a proximal portion of the platform device;
coupling one or more medical devices to an adaptor, wherein the adaptor is configured to receive a handle of the one or more medical devices, and wherein the adaptor includes a base and a slider configured to move relative to the base, and wherein the slider includes two knobs configured to be coupled to a movable body of the handle of the one or more medical devices;
delivering the one or more medical devices to the treatment site through one or more of the outer tubes;
transitioning one or more of the outer tubes to an expanded configuration in which a distal portion of the one or more outer tubes is further radially away from the periphery of the inner tube; wherein transitioning one or more of the outer tubes to the expanded configuration includes separately pushing one or more of the control wires distally to separately extend each of the one or more movable supports distally, and wherein extending each of the one or more movable supports distally pushes the distal portion of one or more corresponding outer tubes away from the periphery of the inner tube to the expanded configuration; and
extending or actuating the one or more medical devices.
