  • Publication number: 20230058772
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a disposable sheath for an endoscope device. The endoscope sheath includes an elongated conduit including a first end and a second end. The elongated conduit is configured with a plurality of hollow ports extending from a proximal portion to a distal portion of the elongated conduit. Further, the sheath includes a shield body member including a first flap member and a second flap member extending from the first end and the second end, respectively. The first flap member and the second flap member are operated between a closed position and an open position for encasing the endoscope device for performing an endoscopy. The sheath includes an endoscope cap adapted to releasably engage with a portion of the elongated conduit and the shield body member encompassing a distal end of the endoscope device.

  • Patent number: 10912622
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a disposable endoscope shield including a shield body member having a first surface configured to cover a treatment area of a subject and a second surface oriented towards a user of an endoscope device. The shield body member is configured with an opening extending from the first surface to the second surface for allowing the endoscope device to access an internal organ of the subject via a cavity, for performing an endoscopy. A fluid protection layer is configured between the first surface and the second surface of the shield body member, for protecting the user from fluids splattering from the internal organ of the subject during the endoscopy. The shield also includes a pocket member and is configured to a medical procedure mat.

  • Publication number: 20200367730
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an endoscope device, which includes an optical tube including a proximal end connectable to a light source and the distal end is insertable into an internal organ of a subject. The optical tube is configured to transmit light from the proximal end to the distal end for illuminating the internal organ. A portion of a peripheral surface of the optical tube is configured with a first profile along a longitudinal direction. A disposable flexible tube is connectable to the optical tube and insertable into the internal organ along with the optical tube. The disposable flexible tube includes channels for administering a medical treatment to the subject. A portion of an outer surface of the flexible tube is configured with a second profile. The second profile is configured complementary to the first profile and engages with first profile, for coupling the flexible tube with the optical tube.

  • Patent number: 6257238
    Abstract: A bite block for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy having a tubular body with a proximal end and a distal end and defining a channel open at the proximal and distal ends, a shield connected to the tubular body at the proximal end, and a tongue depressor connected to the tubular body at the distal end. The tongue depressor comprises a plate connected to a bottom side of the distal end of the tubular body and is curved downwardly. The bite block has a chamber open to the channel in the bite block. A viscous bio-compatible lubricant in said chamber can contact and coat the end of an endoscope or other instrument when the instrument is inserted through the bite block. A removable tab can be pulled away from an opening into the chamber to expose the lubricant after the bite block has been placed in a patient's mouth. A lumen extends from the proximal end to the distal end of the tubular body, through the wall of the tubular body.
