ARTICULATED TIP PART FOR AN ENDOSCOPE

A medical device operable to obtain images of an internal cavity of a patient, including a handle; a flexible tube including a first section having a first radial cross-section area and a second section distal of the first section and having a second radial cross-section area smaller than the first radial cross-section area, the second section having an outer surface; a bending section extending from the flexible tube and including a proximal end segment, a distal end segment, and intermediate segments between the proximal end segment and the distal end segment, the intermediate segments hingedly connected to each other, the proximal end segment including a proximal end segment peripheral wall defining an internal space, wherein the second section is positioned at least partly in the internal space; and a camera assembly supported by the bending section and operable to generate images of distal views.
