Disinfection-free portable ear examination endoscope

Abstract

The invention discloses a disinfection-free portable ear examination endoscope. A handheld endoscope comprises an endoscope handle, an endoscope body and a disposable casing, wherein the endoscope handle and the endoscope body can be separated or combined, and the endoscope body with different view direction angles can be replaced as required; and because the casing is disposable, the endoscope does not need to be specially disinfected, the risk of cross infection does not exist, thus the endoscope can be used at any time. The disinfection-free portable ear examination endoscope solves the defects that the traditional and classic ear examination endoscope can not be used in the outpatient service condition and needs high-temperature disinfection; the disinfection-free portable ear examination endoscope can be used for the situation that otolaryngologists need to replace different view direction angles at any time in outpatient service to observe ear lesion situation, and has the advantages of low cost, clear image, light and small whole system and convenient carrying.

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, head mirrors and otoscopes have the following shortcomings: 1. The viewing angle is limited; 2. It is impossible to observe the lesion at close range; 3. It is impossible to digitize the observed things

[0005] 1. Due to the huge image display system, it can only be used in the endoscopic examination room and operating room of the hospital. It has no conditions for use in the outpatient clinic and is not convenient to move. Therefore, the outpatient doctor can only ask the patient to have an examination in the endoscopic room.

[0006] 2. The endoscope must be disinfected under high temperature and high pressure or soaking before use, and the minimum disinfection time should not be less than half an hour

There are many outpatients. After one patient’s examination is completed, the other often has to wait for a long time for the examination. Some patients even need to make an appointment several days in advance before it may be their turn to be examined. The timeliness is very poor.
