Disclosed is a modular endoscope system in which a plurality of connecting pieces, tools, and cannulas which are selected according to the use thereof are assigned to a single optics. The connecting pieces and the cannulas are preferably designed for single use, so that merely the optics has to be decontaminated.

Modular endoscope

An endoscope comprising a flexible catheter probehaving a plurality of lumens, a handleprovided at the proximal end of the probe, an optical systemprovided in at least one optical system lumen of the catheter probe, at least one working lumen for a surgical instrument and a control element which is fixed to the distal endof the probe or in the proximity thereof for bending the end of the probe and is guided movably in the axial direction at the probe, wherein the optical systemwhich projects beyond the proximal end of the catheter probeis guided in a flexible tube which is elastically resilient in its longitudinal direction and exerts a prestressing on the optical system in the longitudinal direction thereof in a direction towards the translucently closed optical system lumen.

Endoscope comprising a flexible probe

An endoscope with a flexible, multilumen catheter probe, a grip provided at the proximal end of the probe, a control element attached to the distal end of the probe and movably guided in the axial direction on catheter probe, wherein the catheter probe is to be connected non-rotatingly to the grip by means of a releasable lock, the distal end of the optical lumen has a transparent seal, and optical system is displacably disposed inside optic lumen and can be removed from optic lumen.

Endoscope with a flexible probe

A device is disclosed for ophthalmologic microsurgery for improving the drainage of the aqueous humor in the eye of a living being, wherein the device has an endoscope connected to a monitor screen and includes a tube-shaped probe adapted for insertion into an eye, and one or more channels co-axially disposed therein and provided with optical elements for focusing and transmitting images from the viewing field in the eye, and wherein the probe houses a surgical tool which is movable in axial direction and about the longitudinal axis so that by means of the oscillating and/or vibrating tool a passageway can be opened in the tissue of the trabecular meshwork for connecting the anterior chamber with the Schlemm's canal.
