1. A medical device, comprising:
a shaft having a distal facing surface at a distal end of the shaft and defining a first channel having a distal opening;
a printed circuit board (PCB) coupled to the distal end of the shaft and having a concavity to expose the distal opening of the first channel to an external environment, wherein the PCB includes an imager and at least one light, the imager and the at least one light mounted on a distal facing surface of the PCB; and
an optically clear covering, wherein the covering covers the imager and the at least one light, and wherein the covering contacts a distal facing surface of the imager and a distal facing surface of the at least one light,
wherein the distal facing surface of the shaft and the distal facing surface of the PCB are flush.
