Abstract

A bronchoscope (10) includes an optical tube (12) having a flexible distal end portion (16). A handle and control module (14) is attached to the proximal end of the tube (12) and includes an actuation mechanism operatively linked to the distal end portion (16) and operable by a control lever (36, 118) to move the distal end portion (16). The bronchoscope (10) further includes a semi-rigid sleeve (50) that fits over the optical tube (12) and that has a main portion (51) with a first outside diameter and a reduced-diameter flexible distal end portion (52) that encompasses the distal end portion (16) of the optical tube (12). The first outside diameter is selected to be approximately equal to the inside diameter of a pre-selected endoctracheal tube (90). A rotatable arm (120), operably connecting the control lever (36, 118) to the handle and control module (14), is attached to the module (14) so as to be rotatable at least about 180 degrees around the axis of the module (14).
