MODULO DISTALE DI SCANSIONE, IN PARTICOLARE PER CONTROLLARE IL PUNTAMENTO E LO SPOSTAMENTO DI UN APPARECCHIO OTTICO DI UN DISPOSITIVO MEDICO, QUALE UNO STRUMENTO DIAGNOSTICO O CHIRURGICO.

摘要

A module includes an oblong structure; an optical apparatus associated with the oblong structure for facing a segment arranged inside a body cavity of a patient. An actuating device is for controlling the position of the oblong structure so as to orient the optical apparatus in the body cavity. The oblong structure has a proximal portion and an end portion, which is deformable, so as to tend to remain in and elastically return to a bent condition, in which it is normally flexed. The actuating device includes a pusher member, which moves in a guided manner relative to the oblong structure and is suited to act upon the end portion, so as to angularly move it from the bent condition towards a substantially straight condition.
