The disclosure relates to a handle for a medical endoscope including a casing having two opposite main faces and provided with a mechanism for controlling the bending of a distal head of the medical endoscope, this control mechanism including at least one member for actuating a pivoting part made in the form of an actuation ring having an axial ferrule having a cylindrical outer surface cooperating with an annular bearing to be guided in rotation by this annular bearing, along a transverse axis of rotation and whose rotation causes the bending of the distal head, the axial ferrule having an internal bore partly delimiting a cylindrical opening which passes right through the casing by opening out through internal bores on the two opposite main faces of the casing, the pivoting part and the annular bearing being arranged to be located outside the cylindrical opening.

Endoscopes of this disclosure, such as colonoscopes, provide a broader field of view and allow extended access of surgical tools, and also enable efficient packing of all necessary elements in the tip section, while maintaining their functionality. Methods and systems of this disclosure include for capturing and displaying still and video images using an endoscope corresponding to a left-side looking viewing element, a front-looking viewing element, and a right-side looking viewing element of an endoscopic tip generated in a native aspect ratio.

There are provided an endoscope system capable of suppressing an increase in the size of a first connector of an endoscope and of performing non-contact electric power supply and non-contact signal transmission, an endoscope, and an endoscope connector. A power receiving unit and a power supply unit are disposed opposite to each other along an insertion direction of first and second connectors, and an image signal transmission unit and an image signal receiving unit are disposed opposite to each other along the insertion direction of the first and second connectors. A first circuit board is disposed on the opposite side to the power supply unit with respect to the power receiving unit so as to partially overlap the power receiving unit in the insertion direction. The power receiving unit and the image signal transmission unit are disposed so as not to overlap each other in the insertion direction.

An endoscope light source device includes a plurality of first semiconductor light sources that emit pieces of light in wavelength ranges different from each other, an illumination light generation unit that generates white light as illumination light by using the pieces of light emitted from the plurality of first semiconductor light sources, and at least one light source attachment unit that is configured such that a second semiconductor light source is attachable to and detachable from the light source attachment unit, in which the illumination light generation unit generates the illumination light by using the pieces of light emitted from the plurality of first semiconductor light sources and light emitted from the second semiconductor light source in a case where the second semiconductor light source is attached to the light source attachment unit.

A wireless camera system includes a wireless camera for use in endoscopic procedures. The wireless camera can releasably couple with an endoscope (e.g., with a cordless disposable endoscope). The wireless camera can wirelessly transmit data to a controller, which can provide data output (e.g., snapshot images, video recording captured by the wireless camera) to an electronic display and to one or more data outputs (e.g., USB drive or other portable memory stick, to a remote computer or computer network, hard disk, compact flash drive, email, etc.).

An enhanced flexible robotic endoscopy apparatus includes a main body and flexible elongate shaft. The main body comprises a proximal end, a distal end and a housing that extends to the proximal end and the housing comprises a plurality of surfaces and a plurality of insertion inlets which reside on at least one of the surface of the housing at the proximal end of the main body, through which a plurality of channels for endoscopy are accessible. Each of the insertion inlets has insertion axis corresponding thereto, along which flexible elongate assemblies are insertable, with the insertion axes of the insertion inlets being parallel to the central axis of the flexible elongate shaft at the proximal end of the flexible elongate shaft.

An arrangement for the sterile handling of a non-sterile endoscope in a sterile environment comprises a sterile endoscope sheath for accommodating the endoscope and a cable via which the endoscope is connectable to a control unit, the arrangement further comprising a sterile cable sheath for accommodating at least a portion of the cable, wherein the endoscope sheath comprises a first sterile lock comprising at least one first sterile flap which in the closed state shields the endoscope arranged in the endoscope sheath in a sterile manner. The cable sheath comprises a second sterile lock having a second sterile flap which in a closed state shields the cable arranged in the cable sheath and/or a plug connector present on the arranged cable in a sterile manner. When connecting the cable or the plug connector to the endoscope, a movement of the first sterile flap from the closed state into an open state takes place and a movement of the second sterile flap from the closed state into an open state takes place so that a direct coupling of the cable to the endoscope or of the plug connector connected to the cable to a complementary plug connector of the endoscope is possible.

This disclosure relates to the minimally invasive medical technical field, and specifically, to a device of anti-fogging endoscope system including a beam of a near-infrared light for anti-fogging, which is coupled into an endoscope imaging optical channel in combination coaxially and is transmitted to the front optical window sheet, the visible light passes through the front optical window sheet, and the near-infrared light is absorbed by the absorption characteristics of the front optical window sheet to raise the temperature of the front optical window sheet. The device is also provided with a cut filter for eliminating the impact on image quality caused by the near-infrared stray light, so that the illumination light source of the prior-art endoscope is not necessary to be changed. It is suitable to integrate the coaxial coupling module with a camera handle or adapter and is more convenient to operate the device.

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.

To provide an elevator or the like that facilitates cleaning of an endoscope by dismounting the endoscope after endoscopic examination. An elevator (80) which is capable of being attached to and detached from an endoscope (10) that includes a lever (60) provided rotatably at a distal tip of an insertion portion, and a rotating portion (24) that rotates the lever (60), includes a first elevation portion (831) that has a recessed portion (84) on one surface, a second elevation portion (832) that protrudes from an end of the first elevation portion (831), and a lever connection portion (81) that is provided at an end portion of the second elevation portion (832) and connected to the lever (60). The elevator (80) is formed of a material having a tensile yield stress of 40 megapascals or more.
