A disposable uterine endoscope relates to the technical field of medical instruments. The disposable uterine endoscope includes a handle mechanism and an intubation mechanism. The intubation mechanism includes a rotary inner tube and a supporting outer tube. One end of the rotary inner tube is rotatably connected with the handle mechanism and the other end of the rotary inner tube is connected with a camera. The supporting outer tube is sleeved in a circumferential direction of the rotary inner tube, one end of the supporting outer tube is fixedly connected with the handle mechanism and the other end of the supporting outer tube is provided with a bent section, the bent section is provided with a continuous bent groove, and the bent groove is arranged spirally along the circumferential direction of the bent section.

An endoscope that includes an elongated bougie, a distal tip at a distal end of the bougie and a handle at a proximal end of the bougie. The distal tip has a camera, an LED light, and a distal tip housing forming a distal tip chamber. The endoscope also has an electronic connector, such as a PCB board connector, having at least one PCB board, and at least a portion of the PCB board is nestled within the distal tip chamber. The PCB board connector is disposed between the distal tip and the distal end of the elongated bougie when being assembled. The distal tip and the PCB board connector are attached into one integral distal assembly by removable attaching means, such as a pair of snap fit hood and holder. The integral distal end assembly is configured to be cut from the old bougie used in a medical procedure and to be collected and later disassembled, sterilized, and reassembled with another new bougie.

An image capturing module includes a flexible circuit board and an image sensor. The flexible circuit board includes a plurality of first pads and a plurality of second pads. The first pads are disposed on a first surface of the flexible circuit board and the second pads are disposed on a second surface of the flexible circuit board, wherein the first surface is opposite to the second surface. The image sensor is disposed on the first surface. A distance between the image sensor and the first pads is identical to a distance between the image sensor and the second pads. The flexible circuit board is folded to align and weld the first pads with the second pads, such that a light receiving surface of the image sensor is perpendicular to surfaces of the first and second pads.

Endoscopes comprising a reusable hand-piece and separable disposable shaft assembly are illustrated and described. The reusable hand-piece includes a housing having an articulation control mounted thereto and an electronics module mounted thereto. The articulation control includes control knobs and concentric drive shafts for articulation. The electronics module includes a battery, a control board, and an optical and/or electrical connector. The separable disposable shaft comprises a housing having an articulation wire actuating assembly mounted thereto and an optical and/or electrical connector mounted thereto. When the housing of the hand-piece and the housing of the separable disposable shaft assembly are joined together, the articulation control engages the articulation wire actuating assembly and the optical and/or electrical connector of the reusable hand-piece engages the optical and/or electrical connector of the disposable shaft assembly.

A visual tooth cleaning, grinding and polishing instrument includes a host, an oral observation instrument and a cleaning and polishing tool. The host can drive the cleaning and polishing tool and supply a power source and a control system for an illuminating system, an observation system and the oral observation instrument. A picture shot by a camera of the observation system can be transmitted to a display of the observation system in time, so as to achieve the purposes of cleaning the teeth while observing a process of cleaning the dental calculus, dental plaque and pigmentation on the surface of the teeth with the cleaning and polishing tool and the cleaning effect instantly on a mobile phone, thereby effectively cleaning, grinding and polishing the teeth. A flusher or an electric toothbrush head or other interdental cleaning tools may also be mounted on the host or the oral observation instrument.

The disclosure relates to a distal endoscope head including a support for a vision system, the support being delimited on one side, by a proximal face and, on the opposite side, by a distal face into which the vision system opens out, the support being traversed by at least one hole of an operating channel opening out into the distal face by an ovoid section which decreases from the distal face of the support in the direction of the proximal face of the support.

A support device for an endoscope comprises a tubular member configured for removable attachment to an outer surface of the endoscope near, or at, its distal end and a plurality of projecting elements extending outward from the outer surface of the tubular member and circumferentially spaced from each other. The device includes an optically transparent cover coupled to the tubular member and configured for covering the distal end of the endoscope when the tubular member is attached to the outer surface of the endoscope. The projecting elements provide support for the endoscope, improve visualization and center the scope as it passes through a body lumen, such as the colon. In addition, the cover seals the distal end of the endoscope to protect the scope and its components from debris, fluid, pathogens and other biomatter.

A speculum includes a first blade member and a second blade member. Each of the first and second blade members extend from a proximal end to a distal end. A speculum control includes a control nut threadingly engaged with a threaded shaft. Internal threads of the control nut are oversized relative external threads of the threaded shaft such that the control nut freely spins upon the threaded shaft.

A medical system includes a medical device and an end cap. The medical device includes a handle, including an actuation device, and a shaft extending from the handle. A distal end of the shaft includes a tab, and the tab is movable based on movement of the actuation device. The end cap includes a modular camera assembly. The modular camera assembly includes a camera, a support, an arm, and a cavity. The tab is coupleable to the modular camera assembly via the cavity, and movement of the tab controls a position of the support and the camera.

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.
