Abstract: A distal end portion of a medical device may comprise: a first portion having a groove around a perimeter of an outer surface of the first portion; a cover disposed around the outer surface of the first portion, and disposed within the groove; and a second portion having a tab protruding radially inward from an inner surface of the second portion. The tab may be received within the groove, radially outward of the cover.

Abstract: A medical assembly may comprise: a substrate configured to be disposed in a body at a distal tip of a medical device; and a position sensing system, including a magnetic field sensor mounted to the substrate. The magnetic field sensor may be configured to provide a signal that indicates a position or orientation of the distal tip of the medical device. The medical assembly may further comprise at least one camera mounted to the substrate; and at least one lighting element mounted to the substrate.

Abstract: An assembly of a medical device may comprise an elevator configured to raise and lower in order to adjust an orientation of an instrument inserted through a working channel of the medical device. The elevator may include a magnet. The assembly also may include a sensing element configured to measure a magnetic field of the magnet and to output a signal indicative of a configuration of the elevator.

Abstract: A transducer device may include an active layer having a proximal surface and a backing layer having a distal side and a proximal side, the distal side being adjacent to the proximal surface. The proximal side may include (1) at least one first reflective surface approximately parallel to the proximal surface and positioned a first distance from the proximal surface, and (2) at least one second reflective surface approximately parallel to the proximal surface and positioned a second distance from the proximal surface, the second distance being different than the first distance.
