Proposed is a technology that enables a video signal (endoscopic image) output from an imaging unit to be processed without signal conversion according to an MIPI D-PHY standard. The present disclosure proposes an endoscope system including: an endoscope device that includes an endoscope-side connector unit; a processor that includes a processor-side connector unit; and an attenuation correction unit that corrects attenuation of a video signal from an image sensor disposed at a distal end portion of the endoscope device (FIG. 3).

A steering joint comprises a first tubular member and a second tubular member. The first tubular member and the second tubular member include a plurality of cuts to facilitate bending. One end of the first tubular member has an accommodation portion for accommodating an endoscopic image module, and the other end has a first joint portion. One end of the second tubular member has a second joint portion which is joined to the first joint portion of the first tubular member. The tubular member of the steering joint is easy to injection mold and can reduce the accumulated tolerance. An endoscope including the abovementioned steering joint is also disclosed.

A soft endoscopy device includes an endoscope body structure, a camera assembly and an instrument adapter structure. The endoscope body structure includes a bendable flexible inserting portion and a handle portion connected to one end of the flexible inserting portion, the handle portion being provided with a first access portion, and the flexible inserting portion being internally provided with a first passage. The first access portion is directly or indirectly connected with the first passage. When the camera assembly accesses the first access port, at least a part of the camera assembly extends into the first passage. When the instrument adapter structure accesses the first access port, the first instrument extends into the first passage. According to the soft endoscopy device, the functions of the passages and the access ports are expanded by introducing the instrument adapter structure and by multiplexing the passages and the access ports.

A medical imaging device connector assembly for connecting a medical imaging device to a terminal of a medical imaging system is provided. The medical imaging device connector assembly includes a top housing having a first base cutout; a bottom housing configured to couple to the top housing, the bottom housing including a second base cutout; a base housing positioned within the first and second base cutouts; a plurality of printed circuit boards (PCBs) disposed between the top housing and the bottom housing; an electrical connector positioned within the base housing; and an elastic seal member surrounding a circumference of the base housing. When the top housing is coupled to the bottom housing, the elastic seal member is compressed by the plurality of PCBs in a first direction and by the top and bottom housings in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction to prevent fluid ingress.

An electronic module includes a first structure including a flat mounting surface on which an integrated circuit is mounted and a wiring surface including a surface including a portion that changes in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface, a wire connected to the integrated circuit being extended on the wiring surface, a second structure disposed with a dielectric region interposed with respect to the wiring surface of the first structure, a metal pattern being provided on the second structure, and at least one spacer member that equalizes thickness of the dielectric region between the wire and the metal pattern in an entire range between the mounting surface and the wiring surface including the surface including the portion that changes in the direction perpendicular to the mounting surface.

A medical system is disclosed that includes a medical device having an optical fiber, and an interchangeable connection component configured to provide a fiber optic connection between the medical device and capital equipment. The connection component is configured to facilitate cleaning and/or polishing of fiber optic interfaces include therewith. The connection component is also configured for replacement by a medical technician while the capital equipment is operational. The capital equipment may include one or more of an optical interrogator, a patch cable, a medical probe, an ultrasound machine, a display, a magnet sensor, or an electro-cardiogram (ECG) machine. The medical device may include an elongate member configured for insertion within the patient body, where the optical fiber core extends along a length of the elongate member.

Disclosed is an endoscope system, which comprises an endoscope, the endoscope having at its distal end multiple cameras each having a different field of view (FOV). The system also comprises an image processing box adapted to receive images of different FOVs from the multiple cameras and process the image to form a consolidated image covering 360-degree view of areas surrounding the distal end using the received images of different FOVs and image-stitching techniques.

An endoscope device is provided. The device comprises: an elongate member comprising a proximal end and a distal end, and a camera is located at the distal end of the disposable elongate member; one or more external guiding elements configured to guide an articulation movement of the distal end of the elongate member, and each of the one or more external guiding elements is individually controlled; and a handle component removably attached to the proximal end of the elongate member.

A system includes an endoscope connector and an endoscope adapter. The endoscope connector includes a first portion. The first portion includes a first magnetic coupling element and a first planar portion that is perpendicular to an axial direction of the endoscope connector. The endoscope adapter includes a second planar portion. The second planar portion includes a second magnetic coupling element and a substantially planar surface that is perpendicular to an axial direction of the endoscope adapter. The endoscope connector is non-mechanically attachable to the endoscope adapter using the first magnetic coupling element and the second magnetic coupling element. The first planar portion is alignable with the second planar portion such that: electroconductive contacts of the endoscope connector are axially aligned with electroconductive pins of the endoscope adapter and a port of the endoscope connector is axially aligned with a corresponding insertion port of the endoscope adapter.

An electrical feedthrough (1) is provided for improving the thermal properties and the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and also for simplified production of a medical instrument (7), in which electrical feedthrough individual contact pins (4), which are guided through a glass body (2) in a housing (20) of the instrument (7), are electrically connected to one another by a pluggable plug element (5), preferably in the form of a sheet metal part. Here, the plug element (5) firstly provides high thermal and electrical conductivity and secondly provides a shielding area that effectively prevents the input coupling of electromagnetic radiation. Preferably, the plug element (5) is formed in such a way that it independently develops a holding force for securing itself to the contact pins (4).
