Title A name given to the resource Semi-flexible Gastroscope Description An account of the resource Gastroscope, metal and rubber, in wooden case, c 1960s. Gastroscopy today involves examining components of the gastrointestinal system by inserting a wire-like endoscope down the patient’s throat. The endoscope contains a camera and light, and is controlled by the physician performing the examination. The images from the camera are then fed to a monitor screen for visualization. Rudolf Schindler was the brains behind the first ever semi-flexible gastroscope, created in 1931. He constructed the gastroscope in such a manner that the distal end could be rotated, while the proximal end remained stationary. This allowed easier access to all areas of the stomach. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZYI99UdxUpE" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource c. 1960s Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 2000/10.2 Animation Diagnostics Endoscopy Gastroenterology Instrument
