Abstract: A continuous flow endoscope device includes an elongated tubular member defining an interior, a first channel disposed within the interior of the elongated tubular member, a second channel disposed within the interior of the elongated tubular member, and an optics device disposed in a free space of the interior of the elongated tubular member. The second channel is configured to receive an instrument therein during a first portion of an operation. A lumen defined through the second channel is fluidly isolated from a lumen defined through the first channel. The free space of the interior of the elongated tubular member being a space within the interior of the elongated tubular member not occupied by either the first channel or the second channel.

Abstract: A surgical device includes an outer member, an inner member, and at least one locking element. The inner member is at least partially supported within the outer member. The at least one locking element is configured in a first arrangement of the surgical device to lock the inner member in a first position and configured in a second arrangement of the surgical device to unlock the inner member from the first position. The at least one locking element is configured to change from the first arrangement to the second arrangement upon coupling the inner member in an operational arrangement to a hand piece.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are discussed herein for an endoscope. The endoscope has a distal tip with an oblique portion and a flat portion, the oblique portion defines a plane that forms an angle between and including 20 and 40 degrees to a central axis of the endoscope. A related sheath may have similar features at the distal tip.

Abstract: An endoscopic tissue resecting system that includes a reciprocating rotary surgical instrument for cutting tissue that includes a planetary gear assembly to vary rotational speed. A method of cutting and detaching tissue includes positioning an outer member such that tissue is located within a window in the outer member, engaging the tissue with an inner member, and simultaneously rotating at an increased speed relative to a rotary driver and translating the inner member to cut the tissue. A tangential cutting force is applied to the tissue with the inner member to mechanically cut and detach the tissue.

Abstract: A continuous flow endoscope device includes an inflow and an outflow, an elongated tubular member, a first channel, a second channel, and an optics device. The elongated tubular member defines a lumen extending therethrough. The first channel extends through the lumen and is configured to receive an instrument therethrough. The second channel extends through the lumen. The optics device is disposed in a free space of the lumen not occupied by the first channel or the second channel. The first channel or the second channel is coupled to the inflow, and the other of the first channel or the second channel is coupled to the outflow.

Abstract: A surgical instrument. Example surgical instruments include a cutting member being at least partially positioned within the outer member. A drive member coupled to the cutting member such that in response to only a rotational force applied to the drive member in a single direction, the cutting member (i) rotates and (ii) moves linearly in a back-and-forth motion. The drive member having a continuous helical groove including a first helical channel and a second helical channel that are blended at their ends. The first helical channel having a first helical angle that causes the cutting member to move in a first direction at a first linear speed and the second helical channel having a second helical angle that is smaller than the first helical angle that causes the cutting member to move in a second opposing direction at a second linear speed that is slower than the first linear speed.
