The present disclosure relates to a cleaning device system for a surgical tool. Particularly, the present disclosure relates to a novel and advantageous cleaning device system for a laparoscope. The cleaning device system includes a cleaning device, a module, and a control pad. The cleaning device includes a shaft and a nozzle for directing irrigation fluid and drying fluid towards an end of the surgical tool. The module may be a self-contained unit holding saline for cleaning, CO2 for drying, and a battery for powering the system. The cleaning device may be a retrofit device for an existing laparoscope or may be incorporated into a new laparoscope.

An endoscopic surgical device used for minimally invasive procedures comprises a handheld component and a power control module. The handheld component consisting of a handle, and a conduit houses a wireless imaging module and a single LED light source. The imaging module comprises a wired or wireless camera coupled to an optically folded assembly or imaging assembly. A battery-operated power module can control both the intensity of the LED and the camera action. The handle and conduit are designed to accommodate surgical tools, wherein the imaging model is parallel offset to the tool, or the tool are parallel offset to the imaging. In alternative embodiments, the handheld component is self-contained.

A medical device for conducting papanicolaou (pap) test is disclosed. The device comprises a protective guide, an endoscopic device, a cell extraction device, and a computing device. The protective guide has an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The endoscope has a camera and a light emitting device assembly. The endoscope is securely positioned within the upper chamber. The cell extraction device has a handle at one end and a brush affixed at another end. The cell extraction device is slidably positioned within the lower chamber. The cell extraction device is configured to slide outward for positioning the brush around the user's cervix, thereby conveniently allowing for a cervical cell sample to be collected. The computing device in communication with the endoscope device and is configured to improve detection accuracy and visual examinations of the targeted cervical area, thereby enabling the user to collect the cervical cell sample for conducting the PAP test.

A multi-camera, multi-spectral endoscope provides a composite image formed from a white light stereo image and a fluorescence image. The fluorescence image highlights areas of abnormal tissue without obscuring the white light image. In one example, the endoscope uses a white light camera and a camera that has an electrically controlled color filter that switches between passing white light and passing fluorescent light. In another example, two white light cameras produce a stereo image, and a third camera is a dedicated fluorescence camera. In yet another example, one pair of cameras generates a white light stereo image, and another pair generated a stereo fluorescence image. The endoscope can use a single-use portion comprising the cameras and a reusable portion and can rotate the cannula and bend it distal portion. In another example, one of the single-use portion and the reusable portion has an axial slot and the other has an axial rail that slides in the slot in one direction to assemble the endoscope and in another to separate the two portions.

In a method of generating a virtual 3D model of a dental site, scan data comprising an intraoral image is received during an intraoral scan of a dental site. A representation of a foreign object is identified in the intraoral image based on an analysis of the scan data. The intraoral image is modified by removing the representation of the foreign object from the intraoral image. Additional scan data comprising a plurality of additional intraoral images of the dental site is received during the intraoral scan. A virtual 3D model of the dental site is then generated using the modified intraoral image and the plurality of additional intraoral images.

An optical connection module for an endoscope includes: an optical fiber having a fiber end surface and configured to guide a part of emitted light emitted from a light source and incident on the fiber end surface; a ferrule having a ferrule end surface with an opening of a through-hole into which the optical fiber is inserted, the ferrule including a scatterer configured to scatter, in an inside of the ferrule, a part of the emitted light incident on the ferrule end surface, the ferrule being configured to emit scattered light generated by scattering from a side surface; and an optical sensor arranged in the periphery of the side surface of the ferrule and configured to receive the scattered light.

A platform, tips, and otoscope systems are described herein that can aid with evaluation of human ears (specifically children's ears), diagnose middle ear disease, and suggest appropriate treatments. The platform can serve as an end-to-end evaluation, treatment, and delivery of treatment to a user without requiring an office visit, and improves the accuracy of such systems and ease-of-use.

An autonomous endoscopic system capable of controlling movement of an endoscope inserted into a protective sheath installed in the body of a patient includes: an endoscope operating device capable of operating a relative position of the endoscope with respect to the protective sheath, a rolling angle of the endoscope, and a bending angle of a bending portion which is located at the end of the endoscope and is bendable; and a control unit for controlling the endoscope operating device, wherein the control unit controls the endoscope operating device on the basis of a driving record of the endoscope.

The present disclosure relates to a display system including a capsule image view, a 3D mini-map, and a 3D panoramic view, and a method of generating a 3D panoramic view. Specifically, according to the present disclosure, it is possible to infer the shape of an organ using a 3D mini-map and to simultaneously identify whether or not the capsule endoscope captures the images, and information on the position and posture of the capsule endoscope at primary captured points by visualizing the actual movement path of the capsule endoscope, thereby improving the accuracy of examination, and since multiple 2D images captured by a single capsule endoscope are able to be viewed as a single 3D panoramic image without changing the structure of the capsule endoscope, it is economical and the viewing angle of the image is able to be increased, thereby reducing the examination time and fatigue of the examiner.
