摘要:
An embodiment of the invention is directed to a medical instrument that includes a flexible elongate member and a distal assembly. The distal assembly is coupled to a distal end of the elongate member. The distal assembly includes a blunt member and a cutting tool pivotably attached to the blunt member. The blunt member is configured for insertion into a tissue layer. The cutting tool is arranged relative to the blunt member so that the cutting tool does not cut tissue as the blunt member is inserted into the tissue layer.
