Zusammenfassung:Delivery devices configured to deliver therapeutic and visualization devices to a surgical site are disclosed. An example delivery device may include a proximally disposed handle; a shaft extending distally from the handle, the shaft including a therapeutic device lumen configured to deliver a working end of a therapeutic device therethrough, a first portion of the shaft being steerable; and a space-making element disposed proximate a distal end portion of the shaft and configured to separate biological tissues to create or expand a working space. At least a portion of the space-making element may be reconfigurable between a retracted configuration and an expanded configuration.
