  • Patent number: 8397335
    Abstract: The present invention provides a standalone cleaning device for cleaning at least a portion of a surgical instrument, especially the scope, within a body cavity during minimal invasive surgical procedure comprising, at least one cleansing mechanism characterized by an un-deployed configuration in which the device is inserted into the body cavity; and, a deployed configuration in which the portion of the surgical instrument is cleaned; the cleaning mechanism are adapted to be reversibly transformed from the deployed configuration to the un-deployed configuration and from the un-deployed configuration to the deployed configuration; wherein the cleaning of the surgical instrument is obtained by wiping motions of the portion of the surgical instrument over the cleansing material within the body cavity, such that the removal of the surgical instrument during the surgical procedure for cleaning necessity is avoided.
