Problems solved by technology

Generally, conventional optical colonoscopy involves inserting the colonoscope through the patient's colon and requires vigorous manual pushing of the colonoscope into the lumen at the flexure or looping / curved portion of the colon during insertion wall, which generally causes the patient severe discomfort and pain
Retraction and / or removal of the colonoscope from flexures and / or loops / bends of the patient's colon may also cause significant discomfort and / or pain to the patient

Embodiment Construction

[0069] It is recognized in this disclosure that one or more problems are encountered in colonoscopy-related diagnostic and therapeutic techniques and methods, including those described above and in this disclosure. For example, conventional optical colonoscopy generally involves inserting the colonoscope through the patient's colon, and during insertion requires forcefully manually pushing the colonoscope against the flexure or loop / bend of the colon that forms the lumen wall. lumen wall, which typically causes severe discomfort and / or pain to the patient. In addition, retraction and / or removal of the colonoscope, including flexing and / or looping / bending of the colonoscope across the patient's colon, may also cause patient discomfort and / or pain.

[0070] Recent developments in diagnostic procedures and devices have attempted to address the aforementioned problems by using miniaturized wireless capsules with integrated cameras. To perform the diagnostic procedure, the miniatu...

Abstract

Example embodiments relate to endoscopic systems. The system includes an outer assembly and main assembly. The outer assembly may include proximal and distal ends and outer anchor assembly. The outeranchor assembly may include a first expandable member and first outer pressure opening. The first expandable member may expand radially outwards. The main assembly may include proximal and distal endsand a navigation assembly. The navigation assembly may include an instrument, second expandable member, bendable section, extendible section, and first pressure opening. The extendible section may include proximal and distal ends. The proximal end of the extendible section may be secured in position relative to the distal end of the outer assembly. The extendible section may be configurable to extend and contract. The first main pressure opening may be configurable to apply a negative pressure.
