Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a rigid endoscope, and more particularly, to a distal portion of a rigid endoscope and method of assembling same,
- an autoclavable rigid endoscope typically consists of an inner tubular portion, an outer tubular portion and a composite of epoxy adhesive and optical fibers that fill in spaces in between the inner and outer tubular portions.
- the outer tube heats up and expands while the inner tube remains cool and does not expand. The difference in expansion results in shearing stresses that cause separation and failure of the epoxy adhesive joint.
- FIG. 1 is a plan view of a distal end of a distal portion of a 0° rigid endoscope in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is an exploded view of an endoscope window assembly.
- FIG. 22 is a plan view of the distal end of the distal portion of the 30° rigid endoscope of FIG. 20.
