摘要： The present specification discloses an endoscope having a tip section equipped with multiple viewing elements. Each of the viewing elements' field of view is illuminated by a discrete illuminator, such as a LED, being operated in a flash mode. The flash mode of operation of the LEDs enable doctors to obtain a position of the endoscope tip within a patient's body from outside by viewing the light emitted by the LEDs. Since the light is emitted for short pre-defined periods of time, the heat generated by the LEDs during their periods of operation is within a safe threshold value, and does not cause any burn injury inside the patient's body.

摘要翻译： 本说明书公开了一种具有配备有多个观察元件的前端部的内窥镜。 每个观察元件的视野由在闪光模式下操作的分立照明器（例如LED）照亮。 LED的闪光操作模式使得医生能够通过观察由LED发射的光从外部获得内窥镜尖端在患者体内的位置。 由于光在预定时间短的时间内被发射，所以在操作期间由LED产生的热量在安全的阈值之内，并且不会在患者体内造成任何烧伤。

摘要： A multiple band endoscopic ligation device (300) comprises a single pull string (305) and a plurality of beads (310,311) positioned on said pull string (305) and between each successive band (315). The device is configured to be coupled to the distal end of an endoscope and is used to deploy multiple elastic bands (315) around target tissues to be ligated. The device includes a tapered cylindrical body (307) about which a plurality of elastic bands (315) are stretched and positioned. The pull string (305) includes multiple sets of two beads (310,311,312,313) fixed to the string (305) wherein one bead (311,313) is placed directly behind and in contact with the other (310,312). The string (305) is wrapped around the device's body (307) and under each band (315) such that at least one pair of beads (310,311) is positioned between the elastic bands (315) and one pair of beads (312,313) is positioned proximally to the most proximal band (316). As the string (305) is pulled, the beads (310,311,312,313) push the bands (315,316) sequentially off the distal end (302) of the device (300) and around a tissue to be ligated. The use of two adjacent beads (310,311,312,313) on the string (305) to push off each band (315,316) ensures that the bands (315,316) will not slip over the beads (310,311,312,313), thereby preventing a misfire.

摘要翻译： 多频带内窥镜结扎装置（300）包括单拉线（305）和定位在所述拉线（305）上并且位于每个连续带（315）之间的多个珠（310,311）。 该装置被配置为连接到内窥镜的远端并且用于在要被连接的目标组织周围部署多个弹性带（315）。 该装置包括锥形圆柱形主体（307），多个弹性带（315）围绕该圆柱形主体拉伸和定位。 牵拉绳305包括固定到绳305上的多组两个胎圈310,311,312,313，其中一个胎圈311,313直接放置在另一个310,312的后面并与其接触。 绳305缠绕在装置的主体307上并且在每个带315下方，使得至少一对珠310,311位于弹性带315之间，并且一对珠312,313是一对 定位在最接近的带（316）的近侧。 当拉动绳305时，珠310,311,312,313将带315,316顺序地推离装置300的远端302并围绕待结扎的组织。 使用串（305）上的两个相邻的珠（310,311,312,313）推开每个带（315,316）确保带（315,316）不会滑过珠（310,311,312,313），从而防止失火。

摘要： A multi-focal, multi-camera endoscope having a tip section including a first optical assembly for generating a first image of a body cavity; a second optical assembly for generating a second image of a body cavity; at least one illuminator associated with each of the first optical assembly and second optical assembly; and a processing system configured to: zoom the first optical assembly and thereby generate a zoomed first image in place of the first image; and automatically cause a physical display to eliminate a display of the second image and to only display said zoomed first image. To eliminate the display of the second image, the processing system reduces a power supply to the second optical assembly, reduces an illumination intensity of an illuminator associated with the second optical assembly or causes the physical display to power off, darken, or blacken.

摘要： There is provided herein a tip section for an endoscope assembly that includes a fluid distribution device for circulating fluid for cleaning a body cavity. In an embodiment, the tip section includes a groove aligned with side jet channels, where multiple holes drilled above the groove, through the periphery of a tip cover covering the tip section, provide an exit for the fluid circulated by the side jet channels in all directions around the tip cover. In another embodiment, the tip section includes a removable attachment that covers jet channel openings. Multiple holes drilled through the cover provide a multiple jet exit for the fluid circulated by the jet channels in multiple directions around the tip cover.
