Abstract:
This invention may be directed to an endoscopic device. The endoscopic device comprising an elongate member having a distal end, and a cap positioned at the distal end. The cap may have a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end may define at least one recess that does not extend through the cap to the distal end of the cap. The endoscopic device may further include at least one illumination device disposed in the at least one recess.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a cable assembly for a medical device. The cable assembly may include a plurality of conductors each defining a longitudinal axis. The plurality of conductors may be spaced so that the longitudinal axes of the plurality of conductors are parallel. The cable assembly may further include a layer of insulation material completely surrounding each of the plurality of conductors. The layer of insulation material may also extend between adjacent conductors to substantially fill areas between adjacent conductors along a length of the cable assembly, and at least one conductor may be electrically coupled to electronics at a distal portion of the electronic device.
