MODULAR VISUALIZATION STYLET APPARATUS AND METHODS OF USE

摘要

Visualization stylets and methods of use are provided, in which the visualization stylets include modular components that allow interchangeability of imaging devices and lenses, and the use of forward-facing or lateral-facing lens orientations. Optionally, the lens may be focused remotely. A reduced insertion profile is provided by configuring the circuitry of the imaging device so that it is disposed substantially perpendicular to a plane of a pixel array of the imaging device.
