Abstract

Image Technologies Corporation, an endoscopic imaging design and production firm, identified a need for an endoscope that combines many surgical functions. The proposed endoscope incorporates imaging, lighting, and a tool channel into a single 12.5 mm diameter device. This device will reduce the number of incisions a patient sustains and will minimize recovery time. The scope also interfaces with Image Technologies??? TroView system to provide image capturing and archiving capabilities. The design term received preliminary product specifications and refined in design reviews, culminating in a final design.
