 Abstract

In this graduation project a system is designed to clean the distal window during laparoscopic procedures. During laparoscopic surgery, the distal window of the laparoscope can get contaminated. This can lead to hazardous situations. In the new design a rinsing tube and nozzle are added. By filling the tube with water and blow through the tube with pressurized CO2, the distal window will get clean.
