Endoscopic suturing devices using a curved needle uses a through-the-scope corkscrew to pull the tissue so that the stitch traverses the muscularis propria. This device is sometimes difficult to unscrew and can trap the suture line while unscrewing.

We used a triple-spiked anchor (TSA) as a traction device successfully in 15 procedures without major complications. The TSA felt faster. A bump could be felt using the longer model. Limitations include TSA slipping due to excessive traction, breaking the suture line due to design of distal tip and need to clean the device many times.
