<p>#CMT# #/CMT# The endoscope (10) has a shaft (12) accommodating a lighting-and image transmission system. A distal end portion (14) of the shaft is designed to deflect such that an outer part (60) i.e. disposable part, is attached to the shaft. The outer part has a deflector mechanism (80) for deflecting the distal end portion. The outer part is connected with the shaft by laterally mounting onto the shaft. The shaft has a flexible area at a transition from the end portion to the shaft. A resetting element i.e. spring element, is provided to bring the shaft and the end portion into a linear orientation. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Autoclavable endoscope e.g. classical rigid endoscope, flexible endoscope and video endoscope, for introducing into a body i.e. abdomen, via a trocar in a minimally invasive surgery. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The outer part is connected with the shaft by laterally mounting onto the shaft, thus designing the endoscope that is deflectable and operated in a simple manner. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a perspective exploded view of an outer part removed from a shaft of an autoclavable endoscope. 10 : Endoscope 12 : Shaft 14 : Distal end portion 60 : Outer part 72 : Proximal portion 80 : Deflector mechanism.</p> |
