Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a probe system for endoluminal negative pressure therapy with a probe tube, and a probe body, connected with the probe tube, which includes a basic body with an inner lumen and with at least one opening which leads from the inner lumen through an outer wall of the basic body to an outer side of the basic body, in which the probe body includes on the outer side of the basic body several rod-form structures and/or at least one lamella-form structure.
Abstract: An endoscope coupler for a camera, with a proximal end of the endoscope coupler for the disposition on the camera, with a camera securement mechanism for securing the endoscope coupler on the camera and with an endoscope head-receiving region for the at least partial reception of an endoscope head when an endoscope is coupled with the camera, wherein the endoscope head-receiving region is accessible across an access for the endoscope head from the direction of a distal end of the endoscope coupler, and with a movably supported jaw that secures the endoscope on the endoscope coupler. The jaw can be loaded with a spring force such that at least one region of the jaw is pressed into the access and blocks the access.
Abstract: Provided are a handle for an endoscope comprising an endoscope housing and a lens tube and wherein on the endoscope housing at least one operating element for changing a setting of the endoscope is provided, wherein the handle comprises a receiving section for receiving and retaining the endoscope and a grip section connected with the receiving section for retaining the endoscope, in which the handle further comprises at least one manipulator for operating the operating element when the handle is disposed on the endoscope, wherein the manipulator is movable relative to the receiving section and relative to the grip section, an endoscope with such a handle and a method for disposing such a handle on an endoscope.

Abstract: An optical device for generating images with a three-dimensional effect is disclosed. The device can include a first observation channel, a second observation channel that can be present simultaneously, or alternated in intervals, with the first observation channel. The device can also include a first diaphragm arranged in the first observation channel and having a first aperture. The first aperture can include a first semimajor axis, a first semiminor axis perpendicular to the first semimajor axis such that an extension of the first aperture in a direction of the first semimajor axis is greater than an extension of the first aperture in a direction of the first semiminor axis. Further, the device can include a second diaphragm arranged in the second observation channel and having a second aperture, that can have a second semimajor axis and a second semiminor axis.

Abstract: An arrangement is described in which an endoscope 3 inserted into the pharynx of the patient B is used to visually examine the vibrations of the vocal cords 2, while using light that contains little or no infrared light. At the same time, an oscillogram of the vibrations of the vocal cords is plotted, showing the sequence of motion of the vocal cords. The latter purpose is served by an emitter 1, which is attached to the throat of the patient B below the vocal cords 2 and which produces light in the near infrared range (NIR). Using a mirror 5 that reflects infrared light, the light modulated by the vibration of vocal cords is coupled out and fed to a sensor 6, which, together with an evaluating unit 9, detects and evaluates the vocal cord signals.
