1. A system, comprising:
an endoscope receiving member having a proximal balloon inflatable along a distal portion of the endoscope receiving member, a first lumen configured to receive an endoscope therethrough;
a balloon guide catheter comprising a distal balloon;
a second lumen configured to receive the balloon guide catheter therethrough;
a proximal endcap coupled to a distal end of the endoscope receiving member, wherein the proximal endcap includes first and second lumens configured to receive the endoscope and the balloon guide catheter therethrough;
a distal endcap comprising a lumen for the balloon guide catheter, wherein the balloon guide catheter is insertable through the second lumen and the lumen of the distal endcap such that the distal balloon is positioned distal of the proximal balloon and the distal endcap and is inflatable beyond a distal end of the endoscope receiving member and the distal endcap to form a chamber between the proximal balloon and the distal balloon;
first and second strips coupled to the proximal endcap and the distal endcap; and
an endoscope slidably disposed within the first lumen such that a distal tip of the endoscope is extendable into the chamber, wherein the first and second strips are moveable independently from the distal balloon.
