Limited portability and review are addressed by a foldable instrument integrating imaging, lighting, temperature sensing, and remote transmission.
A distal orientation sensor maps steering commands to the introducer frame for intuitive navigation through complex anatomy.
Segmented lumens enable simultaneous blood suctioning and oxygen delivery, resolving the contradiction between airway clearance and hypoxia risk.
A Raman spectroscopy system integrates a fiberoptic probe into a thin sheath to fit flexible or rigid laryngoscopes.
Segmenting the blade into functional zones and integrating an angled camera resolves tongue stabilization versus insertion ease, enabling atraumatic intubation.
Color-coded control interface indicates instrument states via LED feedback, resolving usability conflicts during intubation procedures.
A curved imaging probe with a 120 to 150 degree angle positions the distal tip within the optical corridor while keeping the proximal portion outside.
Core wire delivery eliminates sheath-induced pneumothorax risk while enabling precise placement in small airways.
A segmented optical element deflects axial light into radial projections, replacing separate lasers and fibers to reduce catheter complexity.
Axial extending portions replace radial annular walls to reduce endoscope tip diameter while maintaining connection strength and sealing.
A lighting apparatus adjusts green light intensity to enhance tissue color discrimination.
