    摘要: An endoscope used for insertion into a patient's body is disclosed herein. The endoscope can comprise an outer sleeve defining a longitudinal axis. The outer sleeve can comprise a first deflecting segment and a second deflecting segment at a distal portion of the outer sleeve and one or more slots at the distal portion. The endoscope can further comprise an inner sleeve positioned within the outer sleeve and comprising a working channel. The inner sleeve can comprise one or more extending elements at a distal portion of the inner sleeve, the one or more extending elements being coupled to the first deflecting segment of the outer sleeve. The endoscope can further comprise a tool advanceable through the working channel, wherein advancement of the tool transitions the distal portion of the outer sleeve between a straight profile and a deflected profile.

    摘要: A disposable section of an endoscope handle, an endoscope handle, and an endoscope are provided. The disposable section of an endoscope handle includes: a housing provided with a connecting portion that is detachably connected to a reusable section of the handle; an inserting unit including a proximal end located at a distal end of the housing; and a first transmission assembly including: a first traction wire, a second traction wire, and a first connecting element, where the first traction wire and the second traction wire are located in the inserting unit; proximal ends of the first traction wire and the second traction wire are connected to the first connecting element; a proximal end surface of the housing forms a linear movement path that is orthogonal to an axial direction of the proximal end surface; and the first connecting element is movable along the linear movement path.
