A laryngoscope for orotracheal intubation, includes a tubular body that serves as a guide for an endotracheal tube. The tubular body has an adjustable head which is inserted into the pharynx through the mouth following the anatomical curvature until it reaches the larynx and vocal cords. The head may be equipped with a lighting and display system that can be connected to an external screen. The head can be oriented by means of actuators so that it can be directed towards the entrance to the airways,

Imaging apparatus, atherectomy devices, systems, and methods of operation thereof are disclosed. The imaging apparatus further comprises one or more light transmittable windows defined along the dividing layer and a catheter outlet port defined along a ventral side of the catheter body. The catheter outlet port allows the guidewire to advance out of the second catheter lumen and the catheter outlet port is aligned with at least one of the light transmittable windows such that the guidewire is within a field of view of the imaging component when the guidewire extends partially though the catheter outlet port. The atherectomy device can comprise a tubular housing and an inflatable balloon coupled to an exterior side of the tubular housing. The tubular housing includes a cutting window and a rotatable cutter configured to debulk the atherosclerotic material extending into the cutting window. The inflatable balloon can comprise a lumen in fluid communication with the housing lumen such that fluid introduced into the housing lumen via the catheter lumen inflates the inflatable balloon.

According to one aspect, a method for removing material from a body lumen is disclosed. The method may include positioning a first medical device within the body lumen; and expanding an expandable member at a distal portion of the first medical device from a retracted state to an expanded state. The expandable member may abut the body lumen in the expanded state. The method may further include providing fluid to a fluid lumen of the first medical device, wherein the fluid is deployed into the body lumen; applying an ultrasound signal to the first medical device from a second medical device; and moving the first medical device distally through the body lumen while the expandable member is in an expanded state, to remove material from the body lumen.

Disclosed is a suction valve for an endoscope, the endoscope including a first conduit and a second conduit, the suction valve including a shaft, a pressing unit, and a holding seat; wherein a first opening and a second opening are provided at a bottom and a sidewall of the shaft, respectively; the holding seat is sleeved in the shaft, and a middle portion of the shaft projects outward to form a ridge, the pressing unit including a bump, a first slot being provided at a sidewall of the holding seat, the bump being snap-fitted with the first slot.

Provided is an ultrasound endoscope capable of achieving both improvement of the kink resistance of a forceps tube in a bending part and improvement of electromagnetic wave shieldability in a distal end hard part.

A forceps tube is configured such that a metal element wire is wound around a tube bending part that is disposed inside a bending part, and a tube distal end part including an opening portion facing region facing an opening portion of a shield ring is formed of a material that is hardly influenced by electromagnetic waves. The tube distal end part is configured of only the forceps tube. That is, the metal element wire that is influenced by electromagnetic waves is not wound around the tube distal end part, and resin, such as fluororubber or silicon rubber, to be hardly influenced by electromagnetic waves is exposed from the opening portion facing region.

A medical system including a compressible device, and a covering over the compressible device, wherein the covering includes a delivery configuration and a deployed configuration, wherein, in the delivery configuration, the covering at least partially covers the compressible device to maintain the compressible device in a compressed state, and wherein, in the deployed configuration, the covering is releasable from the device to transition the compressible device from the compressed state to an expanded state.

The present disclosure provides an endoscopic surgery apparatus that includes an insertion tube having a passage formed inside, and that is to be inserted into a patient's urethra; a laser part that is installed such that it can reciprocate in the passage, and that separates a prostate adenoma from a patient's prostatic capsular surface; a hemostasis part that is installed such that it is spaced apart from the laser part and can reciprocate in the passage, and stops bleeding of a bleeding blood vessel of the patient's prostatic capsular surface; a camera part that is located in the passage and that photographs inside of the patient's prostate; and a transfer part that selectively transfers the laser part and the hemostasis part.

A method for cleaning an endoscope during a surgical procedure performed with a surgical instrument. The method includes: measuring with a processor module an aggregate activation time of the surgical instrument during the surgical procedure; and activating an endoscope cleaning system with the processor module to clean a lens of the surgical instrument after the processor module determines that the measured aggregate activation time of the surgical instrument has reached a target duration.

Systems, devices and methods for managing personal activities and health regimens are provided. In some aspects, a control system comprising specialized computer hardware and software provides instruction(s), warning(s), penalty(ies), encouragement(s) and incentive(s) to a user, based on such a health regimen. In additional aspects, such instruction(s), warning(s), penalty(ies), encouragement(s) and incentive(s) are also based on data from specialized sensors tracking a user's personal activities within a personal activity space. In some aspects, instruction(s), warning(s), penalty(ies), encouragement(s) and incentive(s) are adjusted in real time, based on input from multiple users. In one example, a partial giveback reward is provided to a user, in which part of a regimen goal that is exceeded is provided back to the user as one such incentive.
