ADAPTER FOR ENDOSCOPY

摘要

An adapter for the releasable and relockable coupling of an endoscope with a camera head has an inner wall and an outer wall that are connected with one another via a connecting wall extending between the inner wall and outer wall at or near their first axial ends, and which inner wall and outer wall are arranged with at least a lateral separation from one another, so that an open clearance results between the inner wall and outer wall on a second axial side that is situated opposite the first axial ends. Furthermore, the adapter comprises a coupling wall that seals a clearance enclosed by the inner wall at or near a second axial end of the inner wall, such that the clearance that is enclosed by the inner wall is open at a first axial side that is situated opposite the second axial end of the inner wall.

主权项

1. An adapter for the releasable and relockable coupling of an endoscope with a camera head, comprising:
an inner wall and an outer wall that are connected with one another via a connecting wall extending between said inner wall and outer wall at or in the area of their first axial ends, and where inner wall and outer wall are arranged with at least a lateral separation from one another so that an open clearance results between said inner wall and outer wall, on a second axial side that is situated opposite the first axial ends, and a coupling wall that seals a clearance enclosed by the inner wall at or near a second axial end of said inner wall, such that the clearance that is enclosed by the inner wall is open at a first axial side that is situated opposite the second axial end of the inner wall, wherein one of the clearances is designed for coupling with at least a portion of a distal camera head end and wherein the other of the clearances is designed for coupling with at least a portion of a proximal endoscope end.
