Scopes & camera-based imaging
A pathway to single-use, camera-based devices.
Interest in single-use camera-based devices has grown as healthcare providers weigh infection prevention, workflow efficiency, and device availability. ATL Medical's experience with single-use disposable devices and imaging-enabled technologies supports complete-device programs, from early concept through manufacturable, scalable single-use production, for established medical device companies and start-ups alike.
Where ATL Medical fits in scopes programs.
Specialty imaging applications
Camera-based devices across multiple clinical specialties and access methods. Includes: camera modules.
Procedure-based device systems
Full device and system-level support: the complete procedural device, not just the imaging component. Includes: imaging systems.
Single-use device pathway
Development and manufacturing built for the specific demands of single-use, disposable imaging devices. Includes: single-use scopes.
Turning miniature imaging into a scalable device platform.
The challenge. A next-generation hysteroscopy system was built around a miniature chip-on-tip camera architecture. The program required reliable camera-to-board integration and complete-device engineering.
What ATL Medical did. ATL helped develop the system, coordinating product development and manufacturing teams to prepare it for commercial production.
A medical camera system you can build on.
The challenge. A camera-based device can't move forward until its camera assembly does, and engineering one from scratch adds time and risk before the device itself is designed.
The ATL Medical solution. PREVOYANCE® is a plug-and-play camera assembly designed exclusively for medical applications, configurable by tip, connectivity, illumination, and interconnect. ATL Medical can then engineer and build the device around it: distal end, shaft, handle, PCBA, cable, and connector.
Common questions engineers ask.
What scope and imaging systems does ATL Medical support?
Camera-based devices, traditional scopes, selected robot-assisted camera applications, intravascular imaging, and urological and pulmonary visualization devices. The specific scope depends on the device and program.
What imaging components does ATL engineer?
Chip-on-tip assembly and micro-molded distal tips with direct wire-to-sensor attachment; flex or rigid PCBA connectivity and fine-gauge micro-coax; and LED or fiber illumination with image and video capture interfaces.
Does ATL support robotic surgical platforms?
Yes, at the component and subassembly level: camera-based subassemblies, navigation-enabled distal assemblies, and articulating shaft components for robotic platforms our customer's design.
Does ATL work with start-ups in this market?
Yes. ATL works with start-ups and established OEMs here, where single-use imaging device development tends to move quickly.
What does ATL Medical build for scope programs?
It depends on the program, but it is usually a mix of camera-based devices, articulating distal ends, shafts, handles, PCBA, cables, and interconnects, plus configurable interfaces to video-processing and control units. ATL Medical has supported multiple scope programs, and its own PREVOYANCE® camera system can serve as the starting point.
