  • Patent number: 10944949
    Abstract: A trocar with camera has a camera section. The camera section obtains a trocar image that includes an image of a white part on a surface of a puncture member by performing imaging when the puncture member of a trocar shaft is exposed at a deployed position. A white balance setting section for trocar image sets a white balance for the trocar image based on the image of the white part in the trocar image.

  • Publication number: 20210059505
    Abstract: An endoscope bonding structure includes a distal end rigid member, a tubular body, and a bonding agent. The distal end rigid member includes a first outer diameter part and a second outer diameter part. The tubular body includes a first inner diameter part and a second inner diameter part. An outer diameter of an outer periphery of the second outer diameter part decreases as a distance increases toward a proximal end side. The tubular body is fitted to an outer periphery in a state in which the tubular body is pressed to a distal end side.

  • Publication number: 20190350619
    Abstract: A trocar apparatus includes a trocar and a trocar shaft. The trocar has a retractable-type camera section and a seal unit. The seal unit has a dome type seal and a first mount. A step is formed on the proximal side of a puncture member at the distal end of the trocar shaft. A relationship between a puncture member length L1 of the puncture member and an interval L2 in the axial direction of the trocar from the boundary position between a pipe section and a head section to a first mount opening satisfies conditional formula (A) given below: L1>L2??(A).
