Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2018136950A1] A handheld surgical endoscope has a reusable portion and a disposable, single- use portion that includes a fluid hub, cannula, distal tip and an integrated, internally mounted needle moved between a retracted and an extended position with a finger actuated tab. The distal tip includes LED illumination and an imaging module that can be digital and feeds live video to the display module that is rotatable to allow viewing by the operator and others. The imaging module can have a wide field of view (FOV), e.g. 140°, using no more than 2 lenses, and the LEDs are arranged to have a field of illumination (FOI) that matches the FOV. Provisions can be included to equalize image brightness when the imaged surface is not uniformly illuminated. The single-use and re-usable portions mate and un-mate with each other via physically well-separated mechanical and electrical connectors. The needle delivers liquid from a syringe that can be attached to the handle to move therewith or only connected to the endoscope by a flexible conduit. The surgical endoscope is configured for operation by a single clinician in many procedures.
