  • Patent number: 10758301
    Abstract: A novel and useful highly maneuverable and disposable resectoscope having a working element such that surgeons are able to more comfortably perform transurethral resections. The resectoscope permits the surgeon to resect anywhere on the bladder or prostate wall while keep their hand in an ergonomic position. This results in more comfortable surgery that causes less fatigue for the surgeons as well a quicker, safer, and more effective operation. The disposable resectoscope includes a completely disposable design, an analog or digital optics system, a handle that is independently rotatable from the remainder of the resectoscope, a rotation mechanism that can independently rotate an electrocautery electrode and optical lens independent of the handle rotation, and a repositioning of surgical cords and cables for a more comfortable hand placement.
