Abstract: An endoscope (1) having a handle (2), an insertion portion (3) arranged at the distal end of the handle, a bending portion (4) arranged at the distal end of the insertion portion, and two control wires (40, 41) used to control the bending of the bending portion via control inputs made at the handle. The handle includes at least one lever member (21) pivotable about a pivot axis (22), a pulley element (42) located between the proximal end of the handle and the pivot axis of the lever member.

Abstract: An endoscope (1) having a distal end being arranged to be inserted into a body cavity of a patient to be examined and a proximal end which is arranged to be held by a user of the endoscope. The endoscope further comprises a handle (2) arranged at the proximal end of the endoscope, an insertion portion (3) arranged at the distal end of the handle, a bending portion (4) arranged at the distal end of the insertion portion, and two control wires (40, 41) arranged between the handle and the bending portion, said control wires being used to control the bending of the bending portion via control inputs made at the handle.

Abstract: An endoscope with a control handle, the endoscope comprising: a housing having a main housing part and a cover part; an insertion portion extending from the housing; a bending portion extending from the insertion portion; control wires operable to control bending of the bending portion; a control mechanism connected to the control wires, the control mechanism including an axle located within the housing and defining a pivot axis, a lever member connected to the axle, and a user control member external of the housing and connected to the lever member, the user control member displaceable about the pivot axis to rotate the lever member and control movement of the control wires; and a fastening device adapted to retain a tube disposed over the insertion portion.

Abstract: A system for optimizing a patient's basal insulin dosage regimen over time, adapted to determine from blood glucose values whether and by how much to vary a patient's present recommended amount of the insulin-containing drug in order to maintain the patient's future blood glucose level measurements within a predefined range, and wherein a given blood glucose value is disregarded if no patient-actuated operation being indicative of the administration of a dose of an insulin containing drug has been detected in a pre-defined amount of time prior to the determination of the given blood glucose value.

Abstract: An endoscope (1) comprising a control handle (2), a flexible insertion portion (3) having length L1 and being attached to the distal end of the control handle, a bending portion (4) having length L2 and being attached to the distal end of the flexible insertion portion, a rigid tip portion (5) having length L3 and being attached to the distal end of the bending portion, a control mechanism arranged to control the bending of the bending portion, and an elastic covering member (12) which is arranged to cover the bending portion and where the distal end of said elastic covering member is attached to the distal end (16) of said bending section and/or to said rigid tip portion (14) and where the proximal end of said elastic covering member is attached to the flexible insertion portion (18) and/or to the proximal end of the bending portion. The elastic covering member is arranged such that it is stretched when the bending portion is in its neutral position.
