Abstract
A system for treating tissue includes a cap mounted over a distal end of an endoscope, a clip mountable over the cap and including first and second jaws movably connected to one another between an insertion configuration, in which the first and second jaws extend over the cap to receive a target tissue therebetween, a review configuration, in which at least a portion of the clip extends into a field of view of the optical system of an endoscope, and a deployed configuration in which the clip is moved distally off of the cap so that the first and second jaws are drawn toward one another. A control element is configured so that movement proximally through the cap via a first distance moves the clip from the insertion configuration to the review configuration and a second distance moves the clip from the review configuration to the deployed configuration.
