  • ENDOSCOPIC GRABBER WITH CAMERA AND DISPLAY
    Publication number: 20210136328
    Abstract: An endoscopic grabber includes a proximal housing, a distal assembly, a flexible shaft extending between the proximal housing and the distal assembly, a flexible member within the flexible shaft having a distal end portion connected to the distal assembly and a proximal end portion connected to the proximal housing, and a camera within the distal assembly. A distal end portion of the flexible member is movably disposed within the distal assembly. A proximal end portion of the flexible member is connected to an actuator within the proximal housing. Actuation of the proximal end portion moves the distal end portion of the flexible member such that one or more elongate arms extending from the distal end portion deforms to form part of a grabber. The camera is configured to capture an image including a tip portion of the elongate arm. The elongate arms are configured to grab a target object.
