摘要：
An endoscope/triplescope (combined gastroscope, bronchoscope, laryngoscope) device and/or system includes an endoscope having an outer diameter of less than about 5.0 millimeters, in particular less than about 3.5 millimeters, having an illumination element that includes at least one microLED that allows high resolution viewing having a distal element including an optical element that allows four way tip deflection. Depending on the use the light emitted from the microLEd or multiple microLEDs may be controlled such that a particular wavelength or a range of wavelengths is emitted. Further, the device may include a scope stiffening apparatus to minimize the endoscopes flexibility when needed, a foot and hand activation to allow air/water insufflation and image/video capture, a light source, an interior conduit having a diameter greater than about 2 mm, one or more sensor arrays, audio elements for transcription of report, sensors to measure body cavity findings.
