Latest Patent Applications

Juan's recent patent applications include the following:

1. **Suction Valve for an Endoscope** - This application describes devices, systems, and methods for a suction valve assembly designed for medical devices. The suction valve assembly features a valve body, a sliding shaft, and a flap seal. The valve body contains a central channel that extends vertically between vent openings at the top and a working opening at the bottom, along with a side opening that connects to the side surface. The sliding shaft is designed to move within the central channel, transitioning between an upper position, where its upper channels are adjacent to the vent openings, and a lower position, where it extends into the working opening and unseats the flap seal.

2. **Biopsy Cap for an Endoscope** - This application focuses on devices, systems, and methods for a cap that is adapted to biopsy ports for an endoscope. The cap features multiple internal characteristics within a rotationally symmetrical bore, allowing for a secure and operative fit when placed on various biopsy ports, despite significant differences in height and shape. The design includes alternating lips and grooves within the contour of the internal bore, which correspond to different bodies and flanges of the biopsy ports.
