VIDEO RECTOSCOPE

摘要

A video endoscope (20) includes a generally rigid, elongate insertion member (22), having distal and proximal ends, and a video camera head (30) fixed at the distal end of the insertion member. A sheath (26) fits over and covers the insertion member, the sheath having a distal portion covering the video camera head, at least a section (36) of which distal portion is substantially transparent.
