Abstract
An apparatus and system for effective real-time visualization of medical device usage. The apparatus includes a handle that receives a medical device and an imaging component, a flexible shaft includes at least two lumen and is attached to the handle and an end cap attached to the flexible shaft. The end cap includes a first lumen, an exit port located at a proximal end of the end cap, a first slot, and a second slot. The first lumen of the end cap receives the imaging component from the flexible shaft. The exit port receives the medical device from the flexible shaft. The slots are located longitudinally on an outer surface of the end cap at a distal section of the end cap. The first lumen of the end cap opens into a trough for better tissue connectivity.
