Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a disposable sheath for an endoscope device. The endoscope sheath includes an elongated conduit including a first end and a second end. The elongated conduit is configured with a plurality of hollow ports extending from a proximal portion to a distal portion of the elongated conduit. Further, the sheath includes a shield body member including a first flap member and a second flap member extending from the first end and the second end, respectively. The first flap member and the second flap member are operated between a closed position and an open position for encasing the endoscope device for performing an endoscopy. The sheath includes an endoscope cap adapted to releasably engage with a portion of the elongated conduit and the shield body member encompassing a distal end of the endoscope device.

A system and method for delivering irreversible electroporation treatment to a selected tissue includes introducing an endoscope into a position adjacent the selected tissue, and advancing first and second probes having electrodes at their distal ends. One probe may be inserted into the lesion or tumor and remain in place while the other probe is moved around the tumor, with activation of the electrodes occurring at each location of the probes.

The disclosures provides an endoscope device which includes a handle portion including a main circuit board, a clamping portion connected to the handle portion, and an insertion portion connected to the clamping portion and including a lens, an image sensor corresponding to the lens, and a flexible circuit board electrically connected to the image sensor, wherein the lens and the image sensor are located at a distal end of the insertion portion away from the clamping portion, and the flexible circuit board extends from the distal end through the clamping portion to the handle portion and is electrically connected to the main circuit board.

An auxiliary operation structure (1) for an endoscope, comprising: a control module (10), a human-machine interface module (30) and a clamping module (12). A plurality of pressing units (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6), a plurality of dial driving units (D1, D2) and a plurality of knob driving units (S1, S2) of the control module (10) are connected to a plurality of control units on an operation module (21) of an endoscope (2) of the control module (10). With the auxiliary operation structure (1) for the endoscope (2), a physician can control a joystick (15) via the hands to perform manipulation, such that the operation module (21) of the endoscope (2) can be controlled and operated easily to perform an invasive examination or a minimally invasive operation by means of the endoscope (2). In an invasive examination or a minimally invasive operation, a physician is not required to hold the operation module (21) of the endoscope (2) with the hands, avoiding excessive load on the wrists or arms of the physician and occupational injury thereto.

A medical system comprising a first device comprising a first handle and a first shaft extending distally from the first handle, wherein the first handle includes a first actuator, a second device comprising a second handle and a second shaft extending distally from the second handle, wherein the second handle includes a second actuator, and a fixture coupling the first device to the second device, wherein a center of the first actuator is within 4.5 inches of a center of the second actuator, and wherein the fixture couples the first device to the second device so that the first handle is configured to be held in a first hand of an operator, while a second hand of the operator traverses between use of the first actuator and the second actuator.

An illuminating ring assembly is disclosed. The illuminating ring configured to be used with a surgical access element. The illuminating ring assembly comprises a housing defined by a cover and a wall member extending from the cover, wherein the cover and wall member cooperate to define a cavity therein, a light element configured to be disposed with the cavity, and an attachment mechanism configured to selectively attach the housing to a surgical access element. Wherein the cover and the light element both include an opening therethrough.

According to one aspect, a hand assist device may be configured for use with an endoscope. The hand assist device may comprise a body configured to removably couple to a handle of the endoscope. The body may comprise a recess configured to receive the handle of the endoscope. The recess may extend from a proximal end of the body to a distal end of the body. The body may also comprise a palm support portion and a finger support portion proximal to the palm support portion. The body may further comprise a base support portion distal to the palm support portion.

A system includes an endoscope defining a proximal end, a distal end and an elongated shaft extending between the proximal end and the distal end of the endoscope. A fluid collecting sheath defines a proximal end and a distal end. The fluid collecting sheath is configured for insertion into a vaginal opening. The fluid collecting sheath includes fluid collecting apertures defined at the distal end of the fluid collecting sheath. A fluid line is in fluid communication with the fluid collecting apertures. A channel is formed in the fluid collecting sheath. The channel extends between the proximal end and the distal end of the fluid collecting sheath. The channel defines an opening therein. The channel of the fluid collecting sheath is configured to operably engage the elongated shaft of the endoscope by passing the elongated shaft of the endoscope through the opening of the channel.

An ergonomic attachment system for connecting an irrigation tube or an aspiration tube to a surgical handpiece that reduces surgeon wrist fatigue due to tubing twist. The tube is connected to the handpiece through a swivel joint which allows the tube to rotate circumferentially with respect to the handpiece and self-adjust to a neutral position to relieve the twist.
