  • Publication number: 20110066000
    Abstract: Exemplary scope systems and methods involve a cannula assembly, a sheath assembly, and a tubing set. A cannula assembly, which may be a non-magnetic scope cap assembly, can include a cannula body, a proximal housing having a strap, an optical window, and a luer for suction or flushing. A cannula body may include a first lumen or scope channel for receiving a visualization device such as an endoscope or laparoscope, a distal end having suction or flushing flush apertures, and a second lumen for providing fluid communication between the apertures and the luer. Exemplary magnetic introducer systems and methods involve a cannula assembly, a sheath assembly, a tubing set. In some cases, the cannula assembly of a magnetic introducer system can be a magnetic scope cap assembly. In addition to cannula and sheath assemblies, magnetic introducer systems can include a magnetic introducer tubing assembly and a stylet assembly.

  • Patent number: 7275875
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for a universal single handed light cable receptive port is disclosed. In one embodiment, a jaw assembly is coupled to a base. A latch is coupled to a base to hold the jaw assembly open and to define an aperture. When a cable is inserted into an aperture the latch is released and the jaw assembly is closed to secure the cable. In another embodiment, a release mechanism is coupled to a jaw assembly to open the jaw assembly to release the cable and engage the latch. In a further embodiment, an actuator is coupled to the base, the actuator is to receive cable and release the latch when depressed by the cable.
