Abstract:
Various flexible windows and methods of use are provided herein that can be integrated with devices configured to image target tissue from a body cavity. In an exemplary embodiment, an imaging sleeve is provided with an elongate shaft having distal and proximal ends. The elongate shaft is configured to receive at least a portion of an imaging device therein, and an engagement member is disposed on the proximal end and configured to engage with the imaging device. A flexible window is disposed adjacent to the distal end and is configured to form to the imaging device to minimize distortion of light collected by the imaging device through the flexible window.

Claim (Index 12):
An imaging system, comprising:\n an imaging sleeve having distal and proximal ends and at least a first lumen and a second lumen extending therebetween within the imaging sleeve, the imaging sleeve having an engagement member positioned on the proximal end thereof, the first lumen of the imaging sleeve having a flexible window sealing only a distal end thereof and positioned adjacent to the distal end of the imaging sleeve, the flexible window being configured to allow non-distorted imaging therethrough, the second lumen being configured to allow a surgical instrument to pass therethrough from the proximal end of the imaging sleeve to extending distally beyond the distal end of the imaging sleeve; and an imaging device including a handle and an elongate imaging member extending distally from the handle, the elongate imaging member being configured to be inserted into the first lumen of the imaging sleeve and the imaging device being configured to obtain images therefrom, the handle being configured to engage with the engagement member of the imaging sleeve, wherein the flexible window and the elongate imaging member are configured to engage flush with one another to enable non-distorted imaging through the flexible window.
