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 6):
A device for arresting blood flow from a wound within the alimentary canal of a living organism as set forth in  claim 1 , said retaining device comprising:\n a push/pull wire coupling with a spring wire traversing said endoscopic instrument and rotating said spring wire upon exiting said endoscopic instrument for positioning in close proximity to, or in contact with the wound; a first and second barbed ends coupled to said spring wire for penetrating the alimentary canal adjacent to the wound for holding said spring wire in place; and said spring wire defining an arcuate form upon said spring wire abutting said endoscopic instrument and causing said first and said second barbed ends to pull together and close the wound.
