Anti-fog optical device for endoscopic surgery

This technology consists on a optical device for endoscopic surgery, mainly laparoscopic (endoscopic surgery inside the abdominal cavity), that does not fog when introduced in a human or animal hollow organ and that can be cleaned off splatters without needing to remove it from the body, and its mechanism of action. It is especially suited for application in hollow organs where carbon dioxide (CO2) is insufflated in order to distend the cavity and improve field of vision. For this reason, laparoscopic surgery is the main field of application of this invention and the medical instruments sector is its main target.
