Publication number: 20030055315Abstract: A three part microendoscope system including a cannula, a dilator, and endoscopic insert for detection of breast cancer are disclosed. To facilitate surgical entry of an endoscope system through the sphincter of a breast, a special dilator is used with an endoscope so that the endoscope can more readily pass through tortuous passageways. In accordance with the present invention, a semi-rigid endoscope can be advanced through the sphincter in the nipple using a nipple dilator. The microendoscope uses a special lumen tube that is usable with various insertable tools that allows for minimal invasive damage to surrounding cells. Insertable tools to irrigate, lavage, or perform biopsies on targeted areas of the breast are disclosed. A novel video coupler having a predetermined focus and orientation to be used with the present system is also disclosed. A method of using the three part microendoscope system and its various insertable tools are disclosed. A method of manufacturing the video coupler is disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2001Publication date: March 20, 2003Inventors: Dominick L. Gatto, James Bonneville, Michael F. Jacene
