MULTI-PLANE SLEEP MONITORING ENDOSCOPE
20220151550 · 2022-05-19 ·

A multi-plane sleep monitoring endoscope includes an observation system, a data processing and outputting system, a lighting system, a display system, a circuit, a shell, and a power system. The observation system is a photographing system and includes two sets of imaging systems; distal ends of the imaging systems form observation ends, and the observation ends are not on the same horizontal plane. A positioning system can adjust a distance L between the horizontal planes where the observation ends are located and spatial states of the observation ends. The at least two sets of imaging systems can simultaneously perform observation and display on the display system. The multi-plane sleep monitoring endoscope can simultaneously monitor different planes in the sleep process of an obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome patient, particularly suitable for simultaneously monitoring the velopharyngeal plane and the glossopharyngeal plane, and is safe and efficient in the clinical use process.

HANDLE FOR PARANASAL SINUS ACCESS DEVICE
20220151464 · 2022-05-19 ·

A system (1070) for accessing a body cavity, such as a paranasal sinus, including a sinus access member (1028) and a handle (1000). The sinus access member (1028) includes a rigid member (1020), a curved member (1027) slidably disposed at least partially with the rigid member (1020), and a flexible member (1023) slidably disposed with at least part of the curved member (1027). The system includes a handle (1000) that receives a proximal end of the sinus access member (1028). A slider (1310) extends from the handle (1000) for advancing or angulating the sinus access member (1028). The handle (1000) further includes an engagement control (1110) for selecting the advancing or angulating. The handle (1000) further includes a rotator (1400) rotationally linking two or more of the rigid member (1020), the curved member (1027), and a flexible member (1023).
