    摘要: A medical device, such as an endoscope 20, constructed in accordance with aspects of the present invention is provided. The endoscope 20 includes an elongated shaft-like body 22 having a proximal end 26 and a distal end 28. The shaft-like body comprises a proximal section 40, an optional articulation section 44, and a distal tip section 48 disposed at the distal end 28 of the shaft body. The endoscope 20 further includes surgical navigation features, such as a plurality of light sources 50 for emitting light, that denote the position, direction, and/or orientation of the endoscope in-vivo as the endoscope is advanced through tortuous passageways of the patient's body.

    摘要: A steerable endoscopic sheath has a proximal end, a distal end and a working channel lumen disposed therein. A plurality of solid state light emitting devices such as light emitting diodes are positioned near the distal end of the sheath and are selectively energized to illuminate internal body tissues. An imaging device such as a photo diode or CCD array creates an image from light reflected from the tissue. The distal tip of the endoscopic sheath is selectively moveable with a deflection device that is insertable into the sheath. The deflection device includes a tip deflection mechanism that allows a user to move the tip of the deflection device. With the deflection device inserted in the sheath, movement of the distal tip causes a corresponding movement in the distal tip of the sheath. The distal tip of the sheath has a shape retaining mechanism that allows it to retain the shape imparted by the deflection device once the deflection device is removed from the sheath.
