Device for endoscopic resection or removal of tissue

Abstract

A device (1 ) for treatments of endoscopic resection / removal of tissues, comprising: - a handpiece apt to be held by an user; - an external tubular element (3) comprising a proximal end, a distal end and a cutting aperture disposed at said distal end; - an internal tubular element (4) apt to be pivotally housed in said external tubular element (3) and comprising a proximal end, a distal end and a cutting tip at its distal end. - guide means (5) for rotating and / or oscillating said internal tubular element (4) with respect to said external tubular element (3); said guide means comprising an electric motor. At least one between said handpiece (2) and said guide means (5) is disposable.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for endoscopic resection / removal treatment of tissue. In particular, the present invention relates to an endoscopic device for the resection treatment of soft or bone tissue (and the relative removal of debris resulting from such an action). Background technique [0002] As an alternative to conventional surgery that requires a relatively wide incision to access a surgical site in the body, endoscopic therapy uses a natural passage or alternatively creates a small entrance (tiny tissue incision); thus the term minimally invasive surgery is often used to refer to Endoscopic surgery. Two major advantages of endoscopic surgery are more rapid tissue healing following surgery and a reduced risk of internal tissue exposure to infection. Technological developments in this field of surgery, also defined as "closure", have given rise to the realization of many minimally invasive instruments, as access to the surgical ...

Problems solved by technology

In the "razor" that actually exists, the handle is made of metal material, so it has a non-negligible weight, and the connecting wires have weight and obstructions that limit the operation of the operator

[0011] Operating room personnel responsible for handling and managing instruments at the end of each procedure must clean (using appropriate disinfectants and cleaners) and then disinfect resterilizable parts (handles and wires); The service life of sterilizable parts is adversely affected

[0012] Operating room personnel must also perform storage in appropriate containers that guarantee sterility, resulting in wasted time and space consumption

[0013] However, non-sterile components must be maintained by operating room personnel by performing periodic inspections, i.e. brackets and treads, which, if present, may require more complex technical intervention by qualified personnel
