Advances in multibending endoscope: A paradigm shift in minimally invasive diagnostics and therapeutics

Figure 1 The figure of the comparison of structures between the conventional endoscope and the multibending endoscope. A: The conventional endoscope constrained by limited curvature with a single bending section; B: The multibending endoscope offers enhanced flexibility, featuring two independently controlled bending sections. The control section includes two dials, each regulating the proximal and distal bending section, enabling precise and adaptable navigation.

Figure 2 The figure of the comparison between the conventional endoscope and the multibending endoscope in endoscopic submucosal dissection. A and B: In the gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection, the multibending endoscope enables precise access to the submucosa at an angle parallel to the muscle layer, thereby minimizing trauma to the gastric muscle layer (A); the conventional endoscope is limited to a nearly perpendicular approach the constrained by a single bending section (B).
