An insertion unit for a detachable endoscope, the insertion unit including a housing having a hollow formed penetrating both ends of the housing but being isolated from an outside of the housing; a first intermediate connection part inserted into an inside of the housing to penetrate the both ends of the housing; and a second intermediate connection part spaced apart from the first intermediate connection part and inserted penetrating the hollow.

A sterile sheath and methods for enclosing a confocal endomicroscopy (CEM) scanner probe with the sterile sheath are provided. The scanner probe includes a probe shaft, a probe tip, a probe body, and a probe umbilical. The sterile sheath for enclosing the CEM scanner probe includes a sheath tube configured to receive the probe shaft and has a distal tube end, a proximal tube end, a sheath tip mounted at the distal tube end of the sheath tube, and a sheath socket configured to receive the probe body. The sheath socket has a distal socket end and a proximal socket end. The proximal tube end of the sheath tube is fixed to the sheath socket at the distal socket end. The sterile sheath further includes a sheath lock ring and a sheath drape mounted on the sheath socket at the proximal socket end with the sheath lock ring.

There is provided a new and improved optical film, connecting member, endoscope camera drape, endoscope device, medical system, optical film production method, and connecting member production method capable of suppressing quality degradation of a captured image while also protecting the endoscope camera from airborne droplets, the optical film provided on the endoscope camera drape including: a drape section that covers a circumferential face of an endoscope camera, and a connecting member which is provided on a front end of the drape section and connects an endoscope and the endoscope camera, the optical film being provided on the connecting member, and including: a reflection suppression section configured to suppress a reflection of incident light incident on the endoscope camera from the endoscope.

An electronic assembly includes a printed circuit board (“PCB”), an electrical component attached to a surface of the PCB, and a conformal barrier disposed on at least a portion of the surface of the PCB and on an outer surface of the electrical component. The conformal barrier includes a first barrier layer including an atomic layer deposited film and a second barrier layer including Parylene.

A coupler device for an endoscope that includes a main body having a proximal end configured to attach to the distal end portion of the endoscope, and a protective cover to reduce the ingress of debris, fluid, bacteria, or other unwanted matter from the working end of the endoscope which could lead to infection and decreased performance of the scope. The coupler device further includes a visualization section on the main body between the camera lens and light source of the endoscope and the target site within the patient. The visualization section includes one or more optical components configured to reduce an amount of reflected light from the surface and/or to inhibit condensation of water droplets on the surface. Reducing the glare and/or fogging of the visualization section significantly improves the surgeon's view of the target site through the optical coupler.

An intraoral scanning system that includes a housing and a sleeve. The housing includes optical components, a head, and a defogging unit that includes a heating unit. The head includes a primary aperture and is configured to be inserted into an oral cavity of a patient. The sleeve includes a secondary optical component arranged at a secondary aperture that is configured to be positioned in alignment with the primary aperture when the sleeve is coupled with the housing. The heating unit is configured to generate heat in response to application of electrical power to the heating unit. When the sleeve is coupled with the housing, the secondary optical component is configured to be arranged such that the generated heat is transferred from the heating unit to the secondary optical component through thermal conduction between the heating unit and secondary optical component.

A sheath assembly is adapted for an ultrasonic probe and includes a plug portion and a sheath portion connected to each other. One end of the plug portion of the sheath assembly is used for detachably and fixedly connecting with a connecting butt joint portion of the ultrasonic probe, so that the plug portion and the connecting butt joint portion are detachable after the ultrasonic probe is used. An inside of the plug portion communicates with an inside of the sheath portion to receive a torque transmitting portion of the ultrasonic probe.

A flexible endoscope includes a disposable endoscope body structure and a reusable camera assembly. The endoscope body structure includes a handle portion, a flexible inserting portion, and a line connecting portion. The flexible inserting portion is directly or indirectly connected to the handle portion. The line connecting portion includes a receptacle located in the handle portion and an external connecting portion located outside the handle portion. The receptacle is directly or indirectly connected with the external connecting portion. The handle portion is provided with a camera assembly access port for the camera assembly to access. After accessing and being assembled to the camera assembly access port, the camera assembly access port is able to insert into the receptacle to transmit electrical energy and/or a signal with the external connecting portion with the receptacle. The flexible inserting portion is provided with an instrument for controlling the flexible inserting portion to bend, and the instrument is penetrated through the flexible inserting portion.

A hybrid apparatus for delivery of fluid in connection with endoscopic irrigation and lens cleaning including a connector which is adaptable to a flexible or rigid container, a connector arranged at the end thereof and connected via a tubing supply to a fluid, air and or gas source and to an endoscope during a procedure.

A device for protecting against an airborne contamination of a medical device including an air circulation cooling system is disclosed. The device also includes an enclosure defining a sealed receiving volume for the medical device, the protection device further comprising structure for circulating gas flow, within the enclosure, the gas flow having predetermined composition and/or quality criteria different from the external environment and able to be used by the cooling system of the medical device in operation.
