An increasing number of medical procedures are conducted through endoscopic surgery. However, physicians are limited by the field of view of the camera fixed to the end of the device. Physicians often must rotate the entire assembly to view slightly different angles, which can cause unintended scope movement and create longer procedures. Boston Scientific wants to enable physicians to conduct more efficient and more complex procedures with their technology. As such, this year鈥檚 Boston Scientific SCOPE team will design and fabricate a mechanism to provide enhanced access of tools and visualization at the tip of a duodenoscope without causing unintended scope movement.
