Abstract
Described herein are methods for reversibly constraining an endoscope. A method may include positioning an elongate medical device or endoscope in a holder of a clamp. A method may include actuating the holder such that one or more of a first sidewall and a second sidewall of the holder move to a clamped configuration to exert a force on the endoscope. A method may include adjusting a pad of the clamp from a first position to a second position where the pad is in contact with the endoscope in the second position.
