One-handed operation
Traditional endoscope operation often requires the user to change their grip and use both hands to control various functions and settings simultaneously. Observations from practical use revealed the potential for more ergonomic and efficient operation, giving the user greater control and freedom of movement.
The goal was to develop a new control concept for endoscopes that would enable intuitive, one-handed operation. The aim was to make all relevant adjustment functions accessible with one hand, while leaving the other hand free to insert and operate additional instruments in the working channel.
The result is a design study for a single-handed endoscope featuring a significantly reduced handle volume and an optimized layout of the controls. The adjustment knobs have been positioned so that they can be operated precisely with one hand. As a result, the design improves ergonomics, enhances control during the examination, and provides greater flexibility when using additional instruments.
