Abstract: Aspects of the invention provides an imaging mini-scope, an attachment clip and a system including these components. Another aspect provides a method to using the imaging scope and attachment clip for an endoscopic procedure. In one embodiment, the mini-scope includes an elongated body having an attached jacket extending to its proximal end to its distal end. The jacket includes a longitudinal track extending from the distal end to the proximal end and defining a lumen having a restricted opening on the external surface of the jacket. The attachment clip includes a head portion that is sized and shaped to fit in the lumen and to slidably engage the longitudinal track.

Abstract: An imaging mini-scope for use with an endoscope system includes an elongated body having a first length. The elongated body includes at least one passage extending along the first length. A flexible distal tip portion is coupled to the elongated body. An imaging device includes an imaging sensor disposed at the flexible distal tip portion and a signal transmission connection extending through the at least one passage to connect the imaging sensor to a processing system. The imaging sensor is configured to detect image information and the signal transmission connection is configured to transmit one or more signals indicative of the detected image information from the imaging sensor to the processing system. A light source is disposed at the flexible distal tip portion. The light source extends through the at least one passage.
