Patent number: 11369257Abstract: An endoscope having an endoscope shaft and a main body, which is connected to the endoscope shaft and on which a first dial that has a first contact surface is mounted in a rotatable manner, is provided. The main body has a second contact surface against which the first contact surface bears. The contact surfaces move against one another when the first dial is rotated. A first setting unit is provided, using which a pressure force with which the first contact surface is pressed against the second contact surface is settable in order to set a minimum torque that is necessary in order to rotate the first dial.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2019Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: Henke-Sass, Wolf GmbHInventors: Andreas Mattes, Sabine Pauli

Publication number: 20200170487Abstract: An endoscope having an endoscope shaft and a main body, which is connected to the endoscope shaft and on which a first dial is mounted in a rotatable manner, is provided. A plastics seal is arranged between a first sealing surface of the first dial or of a first component connected to the first dial for conjoint rotation and a second sealing surface of the main body or of a second component connected to the main body for conjoint rotation. A thermoplastic is used as plastic.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2019Publication date: June 4, 2020Inventors: Andreas MATTES, Sabine PAULI

Patent number: 9146576Abstract: A rotation mechanism (rotating device) that can be easily accessed by the surgeon's finger to rotate an endoscope or similar instrument. The rotation mechanism is a device/component with a “starfish” configuration, which can be attached to the endoscope/arthroscope just distal to the eyepiece (or to an alternate attachment to a camera). The starfish component has a plurality of projections that extend radially from the endoscope axis, and beyond the diameter of the mechanism on the camera head that grasps the arthroscope eyecup. The projections can be easily accessed by the surgeon's finger to rotate the endoscope.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2013Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: ARTHREX, INC.Inventors: Reinhold Schmieding, Craig Speier, Martin A. Frith, Sabine Pauli, Daniel Seeh

Patent number: 9125685Abstract: A trocar device includes a main part that has a first and a second end. A shaft tube is connected to the second end of the main part. A through-opening for receiving an instrument extends from the first end of the main part to the end of the shaft tube that faces away from the main part. A sealing unit is disposed in the main part and has an elastic sealing element having a hollow-cylindrical wall, which divides the through-opening into a first region that runs from the sealing unit as far as the first end of the main body, and into a second region that runs from the sealing unit as far as the end of the shaft tube that faces away from the main part. When the instrument has been properly inserted in the through-opening, the sealing element seals off the two regions from each other.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2013Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: Henke-Sass, Wolf GmbHInventors: Sabine Pauli, Norbert Haeckl, Michael Fuchs

Patent number: 8852086Abstract: Provided is an endoscope with a handle, an endoscope shaft connected to the handle, and imaging optics arranged in the endoscope shaft. An object can be located in the direction of view of the imaging optics in front of the endoscope shaft. The endoscope may also include a swivellably housed deflecting element that sets the desired direction of view. The deflecting element can be positioned at the distal end of the endoscope shaft facing away from the handle. An actuating element can be attached to the handle, which is mechanically connected to the deflecting element, and with which the swivel position of the deflecting element can be changed in order to set a desired direction of view.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2011Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: Henke-Sass, Wolf GmbHInventors: Sabine Pauli, Oliver Rehe
