Abstract: An integrated viewing assembly for an endoscope having an eyepiece and a handle incorporating a light source. The viewing assembly includes a hub having distal and proximal ends, a middle portion and an outer surface defining a port. The distal end defines a receiver in fluid communication with the port and adapted for onnection to an endotracheal tube. The port is adapted for connection to a gas source. A stylus is constructed and arranged to be fixedly connected to the hub within the receiver. Viewing and lighting conduits are carried by the hub and stylus. A coupler is located on the proximal end of the hub about the viewing conduit and is adapted for connection to the eyepiece. A connector on the middle portion of the hub connects to the handle. The receiver is located a predetermined distance from the longitudinal axis of the handle to facilitate tactile contact with a flange on the endotracheal tube connected to the receiver by the practitioner holding the handle. Preferably, the coupler, connector and hub are formed in one piece.

Abstract: A hand held endoscopic viewing system including a viewing assembly, an eyepiece assembly, and a handle is disclosed. The components are releasably mounted for ease of use and cleaning. The viewing assembly incorporates a fiber optic image bundle for carrying an image to the eyepiece assembly. The proximal end of the image bundle terminates in a coupling assembly that couples the eyepiece assembly to the viewing assembly such that the proximal end of the image carrying bundle is held against a window on the eyepiece assembly. The eyepiece assembly includes focusing optics that define a focal plane at the distal plane of the window for focusing and magnifying the image that is carried to the proximal end of the image bundle. The handle includes a light source and a power source and supports the eyepiece assembly and the viewing assembly at two points.
