Abstract:
This invention is directed to devices and methods for improving wound closures produced during endoscopic surgery. These methods are directed to delivering and applying a quantity of hemostatic agents in either powder, solid, liquid, or gel form onto an open wound produced e.g., by polyp removal, followed by the application of pressure. The method is implemented preferably using existing endoscopic equipment; however, modifications to existing endoscopic insertion tubes, application and tamping devices and endoscopic clips deployed from the distal end of the insertion tube during endoscopic surgery are also within the scope of this invention.

Claim (Index 1):
A device for arresting blood flow from a wound within the alimentary canal of a living organism accessible only from a natural body orifice by endoscopic surgery, comprising:\n an endoscopic instrument inserting into the living organism through the natural body orifice; a retaining device traversing said endoscopic instrument for positioning in close proximity to, or in contact with the wound; a hemostatic substance traversing and exiting said endoscopic instrument into close proximity to the wound; said retaining device retaining said hemostatic substance adjacent to the wound for a time period sufficient to achieve hemostasis; and said hemostatic substance being a resin/ferrate or hydrogen resin in powder or tablet form.
