Bronchoscopes TRIZ Cases
- Endoscopic Shaft Plunger Collar for Sterilization Access
A movable shaft plunger collar creates a cavity passage for sterilization agents.
- Modular Handle Assembly with Detachable Extension for Medical Instruments
A modular handle assembly integrates a detachable housing extension to store secondary medical instruments within a compact primary structure.
- Medical Navigation System Using Fuzzy Logic for Catheter Guidance
A fuzzy logic navigation system guides catheters through body lumens using device parameters and anonymized data.
- Expandable Bronchoscope Working Channel for Distal Airway Access
A radially expandable working channel probe accommodates larger tools and tissue samples within the body lumen.
- Catheter Radial Imaging System Airway Obstruction Detection
A catheter radial imaging system uses varying light intensity to capture airway wall images without blooming artifacts.
- Endoscope Channel Alignment for Sinus Visualization
A sinus guide system with a continuous endoscope channel aligns viewing orientation with the axis of movement to navigate anatomical obstructions.
- Slotted Transparent Cannula for Endoscopic Visualization
A slotted transparent cannula enables direct endoscope visualization during minimally invasive procedures.
- Geo-registration System for Deformable Tissue Tracking
A geo-registration system tracks surgical instruments and tissues using electromagnetic transmitters and receivers.
- 3D Endoscope Structured Light Scanning for Surgical Depth
Structured light scanning in a 3D endoscope generates real-time surgical site models, resolving depth perception limits of monocular devices.
- Wireless Button System for Sterile Medical Device Control
A wireless button system enables remote device control through proximity-based sensor activation.
- Electromagnetic Navigation Calibration via Precomputed Lookup Tables
A calibration system computes in-phase and quadrature components from signal magnitude and phase values to correct electromagnetic navigation data.
- Endoscope Bending Tube with Variable Slit Intervals
Variable slit intervals create distinct bending moments that enable the distal end to curve first for easier navigation into branched bronchi.
- Suction-flushing-system for endoscope optics
A suction-flushing-system discharges a flushing medium jet onto optical surfaces while simultaneously withdrawing liquid components through a dedicated opening.
- Portable Speculum Illuminator with LED and Battery
A portable speculum illuminator integrates a white LED light source and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery directly into the device handle.
- Force Feedback Control for Flexible Elongate Medical Devices
A flexible elongate instrument uses distal force sensors to provide real-time operator feedback during minimally invasive procedures.
- Near Infrared Fluorescent Polymers for Surgical Tissue Depth Visualization
Near infrared fluorescent polymers penetrate tissue up to 10 millimeters, resolving visualization gaps caused by the lack of haptic feedback in robotic surgery.
- Hinged Receptacle for Laryngoscope Sterility
Segmented disposable blades and a hinged cover maintain sterility without diverting attention from patient care.
- Endoscope Head with Variable Opening Width for Rapid Tube Exchange
An endoscope head uses a dynamic clamping mechanism to adjust its longitudinal channel width, enabling rapid tube exchange while maintaining gas-tight seals.
