  • Patent number: 11324390
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an endotherapy camera coupler. The coupler may detachably couple an endotherapy eyepiece cap to a camera and may support a drape for covering the camera. In one example, the coupler comprises an optically transmissible and liquid impermeable member configured to be arranged in an optical path between the eyepiece cap and the camera, a base holding the optically transmissible and liquid impermeable member in the optical path, a receiving portion for the eyepiece cap, wherein the receiving portion comprises a base-side receiving portion configured to receive the eyepiece cap along an insertion path extending in one direction, and a liquid barrier provided in the receiving portion and configured for hindering or preventing liquid from entering between the eyepiece cap and the optically transmissible and liquid impermeable member when the eyepiece cap is coupled to the camera. Other examples of devices and methods of use are described.
