Figure 2 The TransPort™ multi-channel access device from USGI has been used as a transgastric natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery platform.
It has a steering mechanism similar to a flexible endoscope, along with multiple, large-diameter channels to accommodate a small-diameter flexible endoscope and other large caliber flexible endoscopic instruments (g-Prox® tissue anchor device is shown). Image used with permission (©USGI Medical).
