摘要:
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for providing visualization inside an ear of a subject before, during, or after an otologic procedure. An apparatus (100) includes a light source (140), a sensor (130), a processor (152, 170), and a display (154, 172, 972). The light source (140) can be configured to provide incident light to a target area (TM), and the sensor (130) can be configured to capture reflected light from the target area (TM) to generate image data based on the reflected light. The processor (152, 170) can process the image data to produce an image of the target area (TM), and the display (154, 172, 972) can display the image of the target area (TM).
摘要:
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung (10) zum Fixieren und vorzugsweise Abdichten eines Endoskops (22), insbesondere zur Verwendung als Proktoskop, im Bereich des Analkanals (40) und/oder Enddarms (41), umfassend einen zumindest teilweise in den Analkanal (40) und/oder den Enddarm (41) einführbaren, röhrenförmigen Körper (11) mit einer distalen Öffnung (12) am distalen Ende (13) des Körpers (11) und einer proximalen Öffnung (30) im Bereich des proximalen Endes (15) des Körpers (11), wobei der Körper (11) einerseits zum kraftschlüssigen Fixieren des Körpers (11) relativ zur Darmwand im Bereich des Analkanals (40) und/oder des Enddarms (41) und andererseits zum kraftschlüssigen Fixieren eines durch den röhrenförmigen Körper (11) hindurchführbaren Endoskops relativ zum Körper (11) wenigstens eine mit einem Fluid aufpumpbare Balloneinrichtung (16) aufweist. Die Erfindung betrifft ferner ein Verfahren zum Fixieren und vorzugsweise Abdichten eines Endoskops (22) im Bereich des Analkanals (40) und/oder Enddarms (41) eines Patienten mithilfe einer solchen Vorrichtung (10).
摘要:
The invention provides devices that can be used for any endoscopy procedure. In certain embodiments, the devices of the invention reduce the occurrence of looping in the most difficult segment of the colon to navigate - the splenic flexure. In other embodiments, the devices of the invention make colonoscopies more comfortable for patients and reduce the risk of damage to the colon. In yet other embodiments, the devices of the invention comprise a supportive, friction-reducing device that can be attached to the tip of existing endoscopes to help the scope advance better through the colon and intestinal tract.
摘要:
Herein described is an instrument guide for use with a colonoscope, the guide being adapted to be mounted to the colonoscope. The guide defines a channel along which an instrument can be passed during use. Also described is a method of removing a polyp from a colon including inserting a colonoscope into the colon, inserting an instrument guide into the colon, mounting the guide to the colonoscope, inserting an excision instrument, excising a polyp and withdrawing the excised polyp from the colon.
摘要:
A device to guide a medical instalment to a desired location in a subject is provided. The device has a first channel with an imaging probe to identify the desired location, and a second channel with the medical instrument. The second channel can be angulated relative to the first channel to reach the desired location. In some embodiments, the medical instrument is a guidewire or an anchoring guidewire.
