  • Patent number: 12376818
    Abstract: Doppler probes, blood flow monitoring systems, and methods of monitoring blood flow are described. An example probe for monitoring blood flow through a blood vessel includes a retaining member, a first sensor, a first wire member, a second sensor, and a second wire member. The retaining member has a main body that defines an outer surface and an inner surface. The retaining member is moveable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The inner surface defines a passageway in the closed configuration. The first sensor is disposed on the inner surface of the retaining member. The first wire member is attached to the first sensor and has a first end and a second end. The second sensor is disposed on the first wire member between the first end and the second end of the first wire member. The second wire member is attached to the second sensor.

  • Publication number: 20250107693
    Abstract: A scope system, includes an elongate tube having a lumen extending therethrough, the elongate tube including a distal portion; and an accessory channel shaft including a tubular structure with an accessory lumen extending therethrough, wherein the accessory channel shaft is movably disposed at least partially within the lumen of the elongate tube; and a steerable sheath extending at least partially through the accessory lumen, wherein the steerable sheath includes a steerable distal end that is moveable in at least one direction out of an axial direction relative to a distal section of the accessory channel shaft, and an in-line control actuator located at a proximal end of the scope system, wherein operation of the control actuator causes deflection of the steerable distal end relative to the distal section of the accessory channel shaft.

  • Publication number: 20240293012
    Abstract: A medical scope device may have a first steerable device extending to a distal end of the medical scope device. The medical scope device may also include a second steerable device extending to the distal end of the medical scope device. The device may also include a first steering actuator. A selector switch may be mechanically coupled to the first steering actuator, where the first steering actuator controls a movement of a distal end of the first steerable device when the selector switch is in a first position, and where the first steering actuator controls a movement of a distal end of the second steerable device when the selector switch is in a second position.
