Insertion sheath for modular disposable endoscope components

A method for building a modular endoscope, the method comprising:

• identifying a single specific patient to receive a specific treatment according to a diagnosis before performing a medical procedure including the specific treatment;
• determining whether or not at least one of a camera capability and a therapeutic capability will be used by the modular endoscope to perform the specific treatment considering the specific single patient after identifying the specific single patient and before performing the medical procedure, the camera capability comprising an ability of the modular endoscope to obtain imaging and transmit an imaging signal, the therapeutic capability comprising an ability of the modular endoscope to perform a therapeutic intervention;
• presenting a menu of options of a plurality of exoskeletons suitable for use as a shaft of the modular endoscope;
• selecting an exoskeleton from the menu of options of the plurality of exoskeletons for the modular endoscope to be used with the determined camera and therapeutic capabilities of the modular endoscope after identifying the specific single patient;
• attaching a camera unit, when a camera capability is determined to be used, to the selected exoskeleton to satisfy the determined camera capability after identifying the specific single patient and before performing the medical procedure;
• attaching a therapeutic unit, when a therapeutic capability is determined to be used, to the selected exoskeleton to satisfy the determined therapeutic capability after identifying the specific single patient and before performing the medical procedure;
• and
• attaching a control unit to the exoskeleton to control any camera unit and therapeutic unit attached to the exoskeleton after identifying the specific single patient and before performing the medical procedure.
