An electrical feedthrough () is provided for improving the thermal properties and the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and also for simplified production of a medical instrument (), in which electrical feedthrough individual contact pins (), which are guided through a glass body () in a housing () of the instrument (), are electrically connected to one another by a pluggable plug element (), preferably in the form of a sheet metal part. Here, the plug element () firstly provides high thermal and electrical conductivity and secondly provides a shielding area that effectively prevents the input coupling of electromagnetic radiation. Preferably, the plug element () is formed in such a way that it independently develops a holding force for securing itself to the contact pins ().

Electrical feedthrough and medical device

A visualization module (), in particular for an endoscope (), having an image sensor () and an illumination unit () for lighting a field of view of the image sensor (), wherein the illumination unit () is arranged in the shadow of the image sensor () in the case of light that is incident perpendicularly on an end face () of the visualization module (), and the image sensor () and the illumination unit () are encapsulated at least partially in a transparent encapsulation material (). A method for producing a visualization module () is also provided.

Visualization module and method for producing a visualization module

An endoscope () with an endoscope shaft () in which an illumination device () and a rotatably mounted image sensor () are arranged in a distal region () is provided, and includes a handle () in which a rotatably mounted heat sink () is arranged, wherein the image sensor () is thermally connected to the heat sink (), for conjoint rotation therewith, via a heat transmission element ().

Video endoscope

A medical instrument () designed in particular as an endoscope () has a main body () and, formed on the main body (), an electrical and/or electronic switching device () with at least one button () for actuating the switching device () and the medical instrument (). The switching device () is provided on its outside () with a cover (), which is integrally bonded to the main body () of the medical instrument () in order to produce a tight connection. Provision is further made that the cover () has at least one outwardly directed bulge (), on which the at least one button () of the switching device () is formed.
