The present invention is a system and methods to clear obstructions
including foreign objects and food boluses during an EGD procedure. The
medical device according to the present invention includes a flexible
tubular housing, power transfer device, clamp, tool element, power
source, and optional hood. The present invention drills through the
obstruction to rupture it into pieces. Displaced obstructions, and/or

safely excreted, or actively removed by an endoscopist.
