Cystoscope Handle Redesign
Introduction
The current cystoscope is uncomfortable and hard to use. Its metal design is not optimized for the angle and usage position during long cystoscopy procedures. A new handle is needed; especially one that is more comfortable while maintaining the same level of functionality.
Initial Sketches
Design Intent: Maintain a shotgun like grip and use the forefinger over the catheter to maintain and pool-cue like grip. Functionality is maintained by housing the catheter in the grip.
Design Process
Initial CAD drawing (Fusion 360)
Final Cystoscope Design
Design optimized for injection molding. Controls at the top control water flow while inlet and outlet occurs at the bottom of the device.
