An endoscopic overtube with articulating fingers extending from the distal end. The articulating fingers form an opening that may be expanded by a balloon. When positioned in a puncture site in a tissue wall, the articulating fingers dilate and enlarge the puncture site to allow for the body of the overtube to pass through the puncture site. In various embodiments, the fingers may further comprise cutting elements to assist in the dilation of the puncture site.
1.

1. A translumenal overtube device, comprising: an elongate flexible overtube comprising a distal end, a proximal end, and a body, wherein the body defines a lumen extending the length of the overtube, and wherein the lumen is dimensioned to receive an insertion portion of an endoscope; anda plurality of radially articulating fingers separated by notches projecting from the distal end of the flexible overtube, wherein at least one of the radially articulating fingers comprises an integrally formed cutting element recessed on an exterior surface of the at least one of the radially articulating fingers. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the radial articulation of the fingers is configured to dilate a tissue opening. 3. The device of claim 2, wherein each finger has a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end forming an expandable opening. 4. The device of claim 3, wherein the expandable opening expands when the plurality of fingers radially articulate. 5. The device of claim 4, wherein the expandable opening is configured to receive a tool therethrough. 6. The device of claim 4, wherein the expandable opening is configured to receive an incising device therethrough. 7. The device of claim 1, wherein the overtube comprises at least a first finger, a second finger, and a third finger. 8. The device of claim 1, wherein the distal end of the overtube has a non-articulated position and an articulated position, wherein the distal end of the overtube is tapered in the non-articulated position. 9. The device of claim 8, wherein a balloon is used to move the distal end from the non-articulated position to the articulated position. 10. The device of claim 1, wherein the cutting element comprises a cutting edge. 11. The device of claim 1, wherein an exterior surface of the overtube comprises a gripping portion configured to assist in keeping the overtube in an orientation during a surgical procedure. 12. The device of claim 11, wherein the gripping portion includes a surface having a higher coefficient of friction than remaining portions of the overtube. 13. The device of claim 12, wherein the surface having a higher coefficient of friction comprises a series of ribs. 14. The device of claim 12, wherein the surface having a higher coefficient of friction comprises a textured surface. 15. A translumenal overtube device, comprising: an elongate flexible overtube comprising a distal end, a proximal end, and a body, wherein the body defines a lumen extending the length of the overtube, and wherein the lumen is dimensioned to receive an insertion portion of an endoscope; anda plurality of radially articulating fingers separated by notches projecting from the distal end of the flexible overtube, wherein at least one of the plurality of radially articulating fingers comprises an integrally formed cutting element recessed on an exterior surface of the at least one of the radially articulating fingers, wherein the distal end of the overtube has a non-articulated position and an articulated position, wherein the distal end of the overtube is tapered in the non-articulated position, and wherein a balloon is used to move the distal end from the non-articulated position to the articulated position. 16. A translumenal overtube device, comprising: an elongate flexible overtube comprising a distal end, a proximal end, and a body, wherein the body defines a lumen extending the length of the overtube, and wherein the lumen is dimensioned to receive an insertion portion of an endoscope, wherein an exterior surface of the overtube comprises a gripping portion configured to assist in keeping the overtube in an orientation during a surgical procedure; anda plurality of radially articulating fingers separated by notches projecting from the distal end of the flexible overtube, wherein at least one of the plurality of radially articulating fingers comprises an integrally formed cutting element recessed on an exterior surface of the at least one of the radially articulating fingers. 17. A translumenal overtube device, comprising: an elongate flexible overtube comprising a distal end, a proximal end, and a body, wherein the body defines a lumen extending the length of the overtube, wherein an exterior surface of the overtube comprises a gripping portion configured to assist in keeping the overtube in an orientation during a surgical procedure, wherein the lumen is dimensioned to receive an insertion portion of an endoscope; anda plurality of radially articulating fingers separated by notches projecting from the distal end of the flexible overtube, wherein the distal end of the overtube has a non-articulated position and an articulated position, wherein the distal end of the overtube is tapered in the non-articulated position, and wherein a balloon is used to move the distal end from the non-articulated position to the articulated position, wherein at least one of the plurality of radially articulating fingers comprises an integrally formed cutting element recessed on an exterior surface of the at least one of the radially articulating fingers.
