Claim 0:
1. A visualization system, comprising:
a camera module having an image sensor and a lens; and
a housing in which the camera module is disposed, the housing having a main body, and a distal end cap, the main body includes a distal end with a distal-facing surface, a camera lumen therein in which the camera module is disposed, and first and second fluid lumens, and the distal end cap includes a proximal-facing surface including a first portion that is configured to abut the distal-facing surface of the main body, and
wherein a second portion of the proximal-facing surface of the distal end cap and the distal-facing surface of the main body defines a fluid passageway therebetween configured to direct fluid flowing out of the first fluid lumen of the housing across the lens of the camera module,
wherein, the distal end includes a convex side and a non-convex side,
when the first portion of the proximal-facing surface abuts the distal-facing surface of the main body, the outer periphery of the distal end cap defines a convex side coextensive with the convex side of the main body and a cut out extending through the distal end cap from the non-convex side of the main body towards the camera lumen, and
a portion of the cut out is axially aligned with the camera lumen.
