Systems and methods of removing bacterial biofilm from a target site using a biofilm removal endoscope. The endoscope has an insertion portion including an imaging channel terminating at a viewing window and an irrigation channel terminating at a nozzle. The imaging and irrigation channels are permanently affixed relative to one another. The insertion portion is inserted into the patient, with a working end thereof being disposed proximate the target site. The target site is imaged and a flow of fluid is dispensed via the nozzle to mechanically remove bacterial biofilm from the target site.

L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés d'élimination de biofilm bactérien à partir d'un site cible à l'aide d'un endoscope d'élimination de biofilm. L'endoscope présente une partie d'insertion comprenant un canal d'imagerie se terminant au niveau d'une fenêtre de visualisation et un canal d'irrigation se terminant au niveau d'une buse. Les canaux d'imagerie et d'irrigation sont fixés de manière permanente l'un par rapport à l'autre. La partie d'insertion est insérée dans le patient, une extrémité de travail de ladite partie étant disposée à proximité du site cible. Le site cible est imagé et un flux de fluide est distribué par l'intermédiaire de la buse afin d'éliminer mécaniquement un biofilm bactérien à partir du site cible.
