The isolator is configured to galvanically isolate the application connector from the supply connector. The isolator has at least one first radio unit connected to the application connector, and at least one second radio unit connected to the supply connector. The first antenna and second antenna are fixed on a carrier at a visible distance from each other. The at least one first radio unit and the at least one second radio unit are configured to transmit signals and/or data between the application connector and the supply connector.

The image pickup unit includes an image pickup device, a substrate, a movable lens drive member, a flexible substrate and a movable lens drive cable, and an image pickup cable. The flexible substrate, the movable lens drive cable, and the image pickup cable are disposed on the substrate.

A video processing system including a video processing apparatus (VPA) including: a housing having a top wall with a top wall periphery, a top surface extending to the top wall periphery, and a central area; an input port adapted to receive video input signals from a videoscope; an output connector adapted to transmit video output signals; and a bracket interface supported by the housing and adapted to support a support bracket including a first retention feature, bracket interface located within the central area of the top wall and comprising a bracket base receptacle and a second retention feature, the bracket base receptacle sized and shaped to receive a base end of the support bracket, and the second retention feature sized and shaped to cooperate with the first retention feature to removably retain the base end of the support bracket.

A relay adapter includes a first connector configured to connect to a processor supplying a first power. The relay adapter includes a second connector configured to connect to an insertion instrument operable using a second power. The relay adapter includes a power circuit coupled to the first connector to receive the first power. The power circuit is configured to convert the first power into the second power The power circuit is coupled to the second connector for delivering the second power to the second connector. The relay adapter includes a switching circuit coupled to the power circuit. When the second connector is not connected to the insertion instrument, the switching circuit prevents the power circuit from delivering the second power to the second connector.

In various aspects, a microsurgical apparatus disclosed herein includes a shaft having a shaft distal end, a shaft proximal end with a handle mounted to shaft proximal end. The microsurgical apparatus includes a tool package having an actuator at a tool package proximal end of the tool package and a tool at a tool package distal end of the tool package. The actuator cooperates mechanically with the tool. A sleeve lumen disposed within the tool package slidably receives the shaft for releasable lockable engagement of the tool package proximal end with the handle and with the shaft distal end being generally coextensive with the tool package distal end. Light source(s) and image sensor(s) located proximate the shaft distal end allow viewing of the tool when the tool package is mounted to the shaft. Exemplary methods of use of the microsurgical apparatus are also disclosed herein.

An endoscope includes: a protection sheath that forms an insertion unit; a pipe-like case that is connected to a proximal end side of the protection sheath; a distal end optical system that is provided at a distal end of the protection sheath and that defines a distal end side of a sealed space formed in the protection sheath and the case; a partition wall that is provided in the case, is perpendicular to an insertion axis of the insertion unit, and defines a proximal end side of the sealed space; a shaft member that is inserted into the protection sheath and that is rotatable relative to the protection sheath in a direction around the insertion axis; an image pickup unit that is provided at a distal end of the shaft member and that picks up an image of light passing through the distal end optical system; and a magnet coupling which includes a first magnet provided in the sealed space and a second magnet provided outside the sealed space with the partition wall interposed therebetween and of which the first magnet is connected to a proximal end side of the shaft member. The magnet coupling and the case are rotatable relative to each other in the direction around the axis.

The subject matter discloses a multi-sensor endoscope having a dynamic field of view comprising an elongated shaft terminating with a tip section; a maneuvering section connected to the elongated shaft; at least two sensors, wherein at least one sensor is placed behind the tip section, on the maneuvering section; and one or more illuminators located on external surface of the shaft. In some cases, the sensors include a camera. The subject matter also discloses a multi-sensor endoscopy system comprising an endoscope comprising a handle and a controller, such that the maneuvering section is controlled by the controller.

An endoscopic image capturing assembly is provided and includes a holder, an image sensing device, a conducting track, a cable and a lens set. The holder includes a first surface and a second surface perpendicular to the first surface. The image sensing device is mounted on the first surface and includes an electrical connecting component. The conducting track is formed from the first surface to the second surface of the holder and electrically connected to the electrical connecting component. The cable is mounted on the second surface. A terminal of the cable is electrically connected to the electrical connecting component of the image sensing device by the conducting track. The lens set is assembled with the image sensing device. An optical axis of the lens set is parallel to an extending direction of the cable. Furthermore, a related endoscopic device is provided.

An endoscope handle for an endoscope for visually inspecting inaccessible places, such as human body cavities, the endoscope handle including: a frame (70) having a first wall portion (101) formed as an integral portion of the frame, the frame being formed as a single component; a liquid-tight chamber (100) accommodating a circuit (25), preferably a printed circuit board, of the endoscope handle, wherein the liquid-tight chamber is at least partly defined by the first wall portion of the frame; and a first shell part (60) and a second shell part (60′) together enclosing a cavity (63), the shell parts accommodating and securing the frame within the cavity, the shell parts forming an exterior surface (68) shaped to form an ergonomic grip for an operator, wherein the shell parts and the frame each are formed as separate components.
