Abstract
An endoscopic device includes a flexible shaft extending distally from a handle which, during use remains outside a living body, the shaft comprising a pull wire extending therethrough from the handle and a distal tip rotatably coupled to a distal end of the shaft, the distal tip comprising an imager directed distally from a distal face of the distal tip, the imager including a chip and a lens, a distal end of the pull wire being coupled to the distal tip in combination with an actuation mechanism coupled to a proximal end of the pull wire so that, actuation of the actuation mechanism, pulls the pull wire proximally through the shaft rotating the distal tip relative to the shaft to alter a field of view of the imager.
