| 20120089028 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INTRABODY IMAGING - A catheter that comprises a catheter configured for housing at least a portion of a catheter configured for insertion into a body lumen in proximity of a targeted anatomical site and having an imager at a distal end thereof and an adjustable chamber configured for covering the imager. The catheter is configured for introducing a wave conductive medium to the adjustable chamber to increase wave conductivity between said targeted anatomical site and the imager. | 04-12-2012 |
| 20110004058 | Controllable Endoscope - An endoscope including an outer elongate tube and an inner shaft that runs through the outer elongate tube and can be advanced independently of the outer tube. In addition, the endoscope includes an imaging capsule including at least one image capturing unit, mounted on a distal end of the inner shaft. The imaging capsule has a largest cross-section area smaller than the cross section area of the outer elongate tube. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20100105983 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NAVIGATING A TOOL WITHIN A BODY CONDUIT - Apparatus and method for navigating surgical tools within a body cavity. Embodiments of the invention are particularly useful for displacing a surgical tool within a body conduit such as an intestine. Embodiments comprise a balloon catheter having a shaft, and a surgical tool operable to slide along that shaft. In some embodiments the surgical tool comprises a second balloon catheter. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100056867 | Endoscope Valve - An endoscope including a handle and an insertion tube, adapted for insertion into a patient, connected to the handle. In addition, the endoscope includes at least one valve, mounted on the handle, for controlling flow through one or more channels, which valve has at least two stable states. In the stable states the valve does not apply a force to leave the state. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100010302 | ENDOSCOPIC REFLECTOR - A reflector for an endoscopic tool, which is made, for example of a framework or a balloon and reflects an image proximal to the tip to an imager at or near a tip of the endoscope. In some embodiments, the reflector distorts the image, which may be corrected using software. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20090318797 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DEFLECTING ENDOSCOPIC TOOLS - An endoscope sheath, comprising:
| 12-24-2009 |
| 20090036739 | Endospoic Sheath with Illumination Systems - A protective sheath adapted to cover an elongate medical probe. The sheath includes an elongate sheath adapted to receive an insertion tube of a medical probe and isolate the insertion tube from body tissue and at least one light generating element mounted on the sheath. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20080293999 | Medical devices with portions having different rigidity - A medical probe, including a rigid proximal portion formed from a blend having a 1% secant flexural modulus of at least 1 GPa including at least 5% by weight of Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) having a melting point not lower than 280° C.; a flexible distal portion having a shore A hardness lower than 90 A; and a weld joining the distal portion to the proximal portion. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20080249507 | Emergency Electrode on Medical Tube - A food administering apparatus including a feeding tube, having a distal outlet and proximal inlet, adapted for insertion of the distal outlet into the stomach of an adult patient while the proximal inlet is outside the patient, the tube being suitable for administering food or medicine from a proximal port to the distal outlet and at least one electrode mounted on the tube. | 10-09-2008 |
