Provided herein are imaging systems for a patient including an imaging probe and an imaging assembly. The imaging probe includes: an elongate shaft with a proximal end, a distal portion, and a lumen extending between the proximal end and the distal portion; a rotatable optical core with a proximal end and a distal end, and at least a portion of the rotatable optical core is positioned within the lumen of the elongate shaft; and an optical assembly positioned proximate the distal end of the rotatable optical core, the optical assembly configured to direct light to tissue to be imaged and collect reflected light from the tissue to be imaged. The imaging assembly is constructed and arranged to optically couple to the imaging probe. The imaging assembly is configured to emit light into the imaging probe and receive the reflected light collected by the optical assembly.

Medical devices that include a medical tool, a handle and a flexible cable bundle passing through the handle. The handles and cable routing therethrough are adapted to reduce noise within the cable.

An endoscope having an insertion tube with a distal optical module and a releasable handle. In a semi-robotic embodiment, the handle comprises haptic controllers and a computer configured for steering and/or adjusting physical properties of the insertion tube in response to one or more command inputs from the haptic controllers. The computer may also convert image data received from the optical module into two-dimensional images displayable on a monitor. The endoscope may have inertial measurement units (IMUs) for providing data to the computer for creating a digital three-dimensional image representation of an anatomy model and/or for facilitating handling properties of the endoscope.

A laryngoscope assembly having a handle for connection with a laryngoscope blade and wherein the handle includes an additional mechanism for securing the blade to the handle. A locking mechanism is a spring provided for holding the blade in position on the handle and preventing side to side movement of the blade with respect to the handle.

An imaging catheter and an imaging device relate to a technical field of medical devices. The imaging catheter includes a metal wire tube, a tip and a retaining ring. A metal wire exposed at one end of the metal wire tube forms a conductive end, which is electrically connected with the tip so as to allow the metal wire to be used as a conductive medium to lead static electricity out of the tip, thereby reducing effects of static electricity on a photographing assembly at the tip, and the harm of static electricity to human body. The retaining ring covers the conductive end and is connected with the tip, so as to make the metal wire tube fixedly connected with the tip.

Systems and methods are disclosed providing a flexible articulable device for accessing deep within tight and arbitrarily shaped channels of a body. The flexible or articulable device may employ two, independent locomotion strategies. These strategies can be combined or independently used. However, both strategies use a segmented approach that employs one or multiple embedded actuation units along the body of the device. The multiple embedded actuation units may be individually controlled, are generally connected serially, and generally uses one of the locomotion strategies. One strategy relates to propulsion while the other strategy relates to shape control.

An electronic module for a modular patient care system is disclosed. The electronic module can include a housing having an attachment side configured to releasably attach to an adjacent electronic module. A latch mechanism can be configured to engage a catch member on the adjacent electronic module to secure the attachment side to the adjacent electronic module. An electrical connector positioned on the attachment side can be configured to electrically connect to an adjacent electrical connector on the adjacent electronic module. A sensor coupled to the housing can be configured to detect movement of the latch mechanism indicative of at least one of engagement or disengagement of the latch mechanism from the adjacent electronic module.

An object, for an endoscope apparatus having a non-contact type connector, is to provide an endoscope apparatus that allows downsizing the connector and maintaining a stable coupling state. The endoscope apparatus includes an endoscope and a processor. The endoscope includes a connector. The processor includes a slot into which the connector is inserted. The processor is coupled to the endoscope. The slot has a first length in a width direction intersecting with an insertion direction in which the connector is inserted and has a second length larger than the first length in the insertion direction. The slot includes a transmission coil for transmitting electric power on a side surface of the slot. The connector includes a reception coil that receives the electric power from the transmission coil on a side surface of the connector.

A single-use medical endoscope with an elongate shaft carrying a distal image sensor, with a flex circuit component having a distal end electrically coupled to the image sensor and a proximal tail end of the flex circuit extending outwardly from the endoscope handle to a flex circuit connector assembly.

The subject matter discloses a medical imaging device, comprising a rigid elongated member, a rigid distal member connected to the rigid elongated member, wherein said distal member comprises a front camera and a first side camera and a foldable circuit board located within the distal member, said front camera and said first side camera are connected to foldable arms of the foldable circuit board, wherein said foldable circuit board is designed to be put in a foldable position and inserted into said distal member.
