Abstract
Disclosed herein is a medical device including a camera including a movable member including an outer surface with a longitudinally-extending cross-sectional geometry configured to complement a longitudinally-extending cross-sectional geometry of a surface of a lumen in an elongate tube housing the movable member so as to prevent rotation of the movable member relative to the elongate tube. The device allows the operator to maintain visual orientation as the movable member is translated proximally and distally relative to the elongate tube.
