    Area of Science:

    • Medical Devices
    • Surgical Technology
    • Endoscopic Equipment

    Background:

    • Traditional endoscopic procedures can limit simultaneous observation and recording capabilities.
    • The need for adaptable and sterilizable attachments in minimally invasive surgery is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new articulated teaching attachment for endoscopic procedures.
    • To highlight its multi-rotational capabilities and dual observation features.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a single-joint articulated attachment with three rotary unions.
    • Integration of two optical units for simultaneous viewing.
    • Design for soak sterilization and easy dismantling for maintenance.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • The attachment provides 360-degree rotation in sagittal, horizontal, and frontal planes.
    • Simultaneous observation by two individuals and the operator is feasible.
    • The device is sterilizable by soaking and designed for easy cleaning and part replacement.

    Conclusions:

    • This articulated teaching attachment enhances visualization and teaching during endoscopy.
    • Its design facilitates simultaneous observation, recording, and easy maintenance, improving surgical training and procedures.
