Abstract
The present device is designed to enhance the efficiency of endoscopic surgeries by allowing for in situ cleaning of the lens via a combination of fluid flow and wiping mechanisms. By removing the need for intermittent halts in surgery, this device may provide a more seamless and fluid operation process, enhancing surgeon convenience and contributing to patient safety by providing a more consistent and clearer field of view for surgeons to operate in.
