ENDOSCOPE CLEANING DEVICE AND CLEANING METHOD THEREOF

An endoscope cleaning device is applied to an endoscope having a main body and a tube body connected to the main body. The endoscope cleaning device includes a frame, a receiving tank for receiving the tube body, a circulating module, and an operating module that is electrically connected to the circulating module. The receiving tank and the operating module are disposed on the frame. The circulating module is connected to a source of first solution supply, a source of second solution supply, and the receiving tank. The operating module is manipulated by a user to control the circulating module to transmit the solution provided by the source of first solution supply and the solution provided by the source of second solution supply to the receiving tank and then to drain the solution in the receiving tank out. A cleaning method of an endoscope by using the endoscope cleaning device is provided.

Intraoperative endoscope cleaning system

The disclosure is directed to methods and systems for cleaning scopes using a camera port (e.g. trocar) which has been modified to include a cleaning system. A trocar is a device designed to allow surgical instruments and tools to be quickly and easily inserted into a body cavity without contacting the surrounding tissue.

LIGHT APPLICATOR
20220355126 · 2022-11-10 ·

A light applicator (5) for examining and/or treating an organic body includes a minimal-invasive, rigid, semi-flexible or flexible insertion section (11) which extends along a longitudinal direction (L) and at its distal end includes an LED (19). The light applicator (5) includes a first electrical lead (61a) for the supply of electricity to the LED (19). The lead extends in the insertion section (11) in the longitudinal direction (L) and there has a cross-sectional area of at least 70% of the cross-sectional area of the light applicator (5). The light applicator (5) in the insertion section (11) is thermally insulated in the radial direction in a manner such that the radial thermal insulation reduces proximally.

The present invention is a Laparoscopic Eye Cleaner that can be used intra-abdominally. This laparoscopic instrument will save time and money. The instrument is a handle connected to a flat, thin stem and made of plastic or stainless steel with a soft absorbable tip. It only takes two fingers to use it. The tip that cleans the eye of the lens without the need for the laparoscope having to be removed.

Device for shielding endoscopic optics with a fluid barrier

The present embodiments provide systems and methods suitable for delivering an agent including a plurality of particles to a target site. In example embodiments, a system suitable for delivering an agent to a target site includes a catheter having a first wall defining a lumen sized for delivery of the agent to the target site. The catheter has a distal end terminating with a primary opening of the lumen, an opposing proximal end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the distal end and the proximal end. At least one secondary opening is formed at the distal end, wherein the secondary opening is configured to allow fluid to flow through the secondary opening to create a steady flow of fluid at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis and prevent the plurality of particles from flowing through the secondary opening.

Cleaning tool for insertion device

A cleaning tool for insertion device includes a first fluid supply conduit, a second fluid supply conduit, a first cap component, and a second cap component, wherein a first discharge port and a third discharge port are disposed at positions where a discharging direction of fluid discharged from the first discharge port and a discharging direction of fluid discharged from the third discharge port are parallel or coaxial to each other in a vertical direction of a distal end portion of an insertion device, and a second discharge port and a fourth discharge port are disposed at positions where a discharging direction of fluid discharged from the second discharge port and a discharging direction of fluid discharged from the fourth discharge port are parallel or coaxial to each other in a lateral direction of the distal end portion of the insertion device.

Leak tester
