ENDOSCOPIC AND FLUID MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS HAVING AN ELECTRONICALLY ADJUSTABLE ORIFICE
An endoscopic system may include an endoscope including a handle and an elongate shaft extending distally from the handle, wherein the handle includes an inflow port in fluid communication with the elongate shaft, the inflow port being configured to fluidly connect to a fluid inflow line, an electronically adjustable orifice associated with the inflow port, and control circuitry for receiving a signal of a current size of the electronically adjustable orifice and/or for sending a signal to change a size of the electronically adjustable orifice. The system may include a first pressure sensor disposed upstream of the electronically adjustable orifice and a second pressure sensor disposed downstream of the electronically adjustable orifice.
ENDOSCOPE DEVICE
Provided is an endoscope device capable of enhancing mechanical strength and durability against various operations and attachment to and detachment from a hanger in the endoscope device in which an endoscope can be suspended on the hanger. This endoscope device includes: an insertion portion; an operation unit that has a joint section configured to be suspendable from a hanger and is connected to the hanger through the joint section; a treatment tool channel that is arranged inside the joint section and the operation unit and allows passage of a treatment tool; a plate fixed to the operation unit; and a frame that is provided inside the joint section, includes a plurality of partition structural members coupled to each other and having a longitudinal direction along an arrangement direction of the treatment tool channel, and is fixed to the plate.
DEVICE FOR SHIELDING ENDOSCOPIC OPTICS WITH A FLUID BARRIER HAVING A REMOVABLE HUB
A system for delivering an agent including a plurality of particles to a target site. The system incudes a catheter having a first wall defining an inner lumen for delivery of the agent to the target site, and a second wall surrounding the first wall to define an outer lumen therebetween for delivery of a fluid to the target site. The catheter has a distal end terminating with a primary opening of the inner lumen and a secondary opening of the outer lumen. A hub associated with a proximal end of the catheter includes a first inlet for receiving a supply of the agent and a second inlet for receiving a supply of the fluid, wherein the first inlet is in fluid communication with the inner lumen, and the second inlet is in fluid communication with the outer lumen.
Pediatric nasal endoscope, gastroscope and aerodigestive scope
TNE provides the opportunity to make the care of children with EoE and other gastrointestinal or aerodigestive conditions safer, more efficient, and less costly while simultaneously advancing our understanding of the pathophysiology and natural course of this condition. A pediatric endoscope was developed to facilitate TNE in children with EoE. The pediatric endoscope (combined gastroscope, bronchoscope, laryngoscope) includes a 3-4 mm flexible, fiber optic endoscope that allows HD TV viewing with the head of a pediatric bronchoscope that allows four way tip deflection, a scope stiffening apparatus to minimize the endoscopes flexibility when needed, a foot and hand activation to allow air/water insufflation and image/video capture, a light source, 2 mm biopsy channel.

ENDOSCOPE TUBULAR CONNECTOR AND ENDOSCOPE
An endoscope tubular connector includes: a connection joint including a through-hole; and a tubular portion that is formed of a material softer than the connection joint and that has one end arranged in the through-hole of the connection joint. The through-hole of the connection joint and a through-hole of the tubular portion are formed such that the through-holes are connected to each other, and an outer circumference of the tubular portion is arranged on an inner side with respect to an inner circumference of the connection joint.
Endoscope connecting tube, liquid feeding apparatus, and endoscope reprocessing method
An endoscope connecting tube includes a liquid feeding index including: an exterior; an exposure hole provided on the exterior; and a flow path; and a movable member that is brought into a convex warp state toward a surface direction of the exterior when an inner pressure of a flow path reaches a predetermined value or higher, and remains in the convex warp state even when the inner pressure of the flow path reaches less than the predetermined value; and a marker that projects from the exposure hole by the movable member being brought into the convex warp state; a releasing portion that releases the convex warp state of the movable member by causing the marker to slide and push the movable member; and an insertion path into which the releasing portion is inserted.
