  • Publication number: 20230069698
    Abstract: A flexing structure for an insertion tube of a medical device including tubular vertebrae with a proximal tubular vertebra and a distal tubular vertebra and at least one actuating cable surrounded by a sheath over at least part of its length, the flexing structure including a tube cut with energy-beam cutting lines to create tubular vertebrae that nest in one another, the proximal tubular vertebra including, for each actuating cable, a radial and axial blocking system for the sheath, comprising an elongate cutout created in such a way as to delimit two stop edges that limit the radial engagement of the sheath in the cutout, this cutout opening at its distal part into a slot delimited by at least two cutout lines between which there is attached a pressing tab designed to press the sheath radially against the two stop edges of the cutout, this slot being bordered by a rim for axially stopping the sheath.

  • Publication number: 20230061278
    Abstract: A method for fixing a guide sheath of a cable for actuating the distal head of a medical device including providing a housing having at least one column made of a thermoplastic material for fixing a support sheath, arranging, from the terminal portion of the column, a groove that extends radially therethrough to allow the insertion of the support sheath, positioning the support sheath of the actuating cable inside the groove while a free end extends out of the column, and heating at least the free end of the column and applying a pressure to the column to ensure the attachment of the support sheath to the housing by means of welding.

  • Publication number: 20230041660
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a handle for a medical endoscope including a casing having two opposite main faces and provided with a mechanism for controlling the bending of a distal head of the medical endoscope, this control mechanism including at least one member for actuating a pivoting part made in the form of an actuation ring having an axial ferrule having a cylindrical outer surface cooperating with an annular bearing to be guided in rotation by this annular bearing, along a transverse axis of rotation and whose rotation causes the bending of the distal head, the axial ferrule having an internal bore partly delimiting a cylindrical opening which passes right through the casing by opening out through internal bores on the two opposite main faces of the casing, the pivoting part and the annular bearing being arranged to be located outside the cylindrical opening.

  • Publication number: 20230037743
    Abstract: A method for fixing one end of an actuation cable configured to allow orienting of the distal head of a medical device including providing a pivoting part provided with at least one fixing pin made of thermoplastic material for fixing a proximal end of an actuation cable, arranging, from the terminal part of the pin, a radially through recess to allow the insertion of the actuation cable, positioning the actuation cable inside the recess, letting a free end of the pin project, and heating at least the free end of the pin and applying a pressure on the pin to ensure, by welding, the fixing of the actuation cable with the pivoting part.

  • Publication number: 20230044504
    Abstract: A medical appliance including a housing having a front face for displaying and, on the opposite side, a rear face, the housing being equipped with at least three legs to keep the medical appliance in a stable position when set down on a supporting surface, at least one of the legs being a hanging leg projecting out from the housing in the form of an arm and ending at its free end in a curved part, the housing being equipped with a fixing system for fixing to support equipment in such a way that each hanging leg is clear of the supporting surface so that at least one medical device can be hooked onto each hanging leg.

  • Publication number: 20230040194
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a removable system for joining a device to a support, using a male part interacting with a female part; the male part including an arm having a free end provided with a series of bearing teeth extending radially; the female part including at least one locking plate in which is arranged an opening delimiting retaining teeth able to come face-to-face with a bearing tooth to prevent the disengagement between the male and female parts; the female part and the male part including an angular locking device able to angularly lock the female and male parts, the angular locking device including a latch mounted radially movable on the back face of the locking plate.

  • Publication number: 20230044896
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a system for attaching a medical device on a mast, the attachment system including a body equipped with the medical device and from which protrude face-to-face two jaws together delimiting an open engagement housing for the mast ending, at the level of the body, in a bottom which gradually decreases along a frustoconical portion to adapt to masts of different diameters, both jaws being externally threaded by a thread including a tapped ring and a tubular support skirt for the jaws, this tubular skirt extending coaxially inside the tapped ring to allow the engagement of the jaws between the tapped ring and the tubular skirt and the screwing of the tapped ring on these jaws.

  • Publication number: 20230037570
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a distal endoscope head including a support for a vision system, the support being delimited on one side, by a proximal face and, on the opposite side, by a distal face into which the vision system opens out, the support being traversed by at least one hole of an operating channel opening out into the distal face by an ovoid section which decreases from the distal face of the support in the direction of the proximal face of the support.

  • Publication number: 20230038305
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a medical endoscope including: a piston body in which a piston is movably mounted in displacement; the piston delimiting with the piston body a sealed obturation section and a sealed interconnection chamber adapted so that, in the open position of the obturation device, the sealed interconnection chamber ensures communication between a first portion and a second portion of the circulation circuit. According to the disclosure, the sealed interconnection chamber including a hole passing right through the piston to open out into a cylindrical chamber delimited between the piston and the piston body, by an oblong section located in the open position of the circulation circuit, facing the inlet sections of the tubing for connection to the first portion and to the second portion of the circulation circuit to limit the pressure drop.
