Latest Patents
Hans D Hoeg holds a patent for an "Apparatus and method for providing spherical viewing during endoscopic procedures." This invention presents an improved apparatus and method for providing variable-angle endoscopic views in a cavity, such as an internal cavity in a human patient. The apparatus features an elongated tubular portion with a viewer at its proximal end and a reflector assembly at its distal end. The reflector assembly includes a first reflector and a second reflector, with the second reflector rotationally mounted to allow its rotation about an axis generally aligned with an optical path portion passing from the first reflector to the second reflector. The viewer is preferably a camera rotatably secured to the apparatus. A rotator controls the rotation of the second reflector and the camera, enabling near-spherical viewing of the cavity without requiring substantial movement of the endoscope. This innovation is particularly valuable in enhancing the precision and effectiveness of endoscopic procedures.
