Flexible enteroscope

Abstract

The invention discloses a flexible enteroscope. The flexible enteroscope comprises a main catheter body, a main supporting airbag and a rigid probe which is embedded in one end of the main catheter body, and a camera and a light source are arranged in the rigid probe; a biopsy catheter, a cable catheter and an air inlet catheter are arranged in the main catheter body, an outlet of the biopsy catheter is correspondingly formed in the rigid probe, and the camera and the light source are arranged at an outlet of the cable catheter; the main supporting airbag wraps the portion, close to the probe,on the outer wall of the main catheter body and is communicated with the air inlet catheter; the cable catheter is used for containing a cable, an output end of the cable is connected with the cameraand the light source, and an input end of the cable is connected with a circuit board; a battery supplies power to the circuit board, and a USB interface for transmitting image information of the camera to a displayer is formed in the circuit board.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to medical equipment, and in particular relates to a flexible enteroscope with a narrower pipeline diameter. Background technique [0002] The methods currently used to diagnose small bowel lesions are mainly divided into capsule endoscopy, double-balloon enteroscopy, and single-balloon enteroscopy. The diameter of the main pipeline of the double-balloon enteroscope is relatively large. The small intestine is generally more than 5 meters long and has many folds and bends. The deeper the small intestine is, the power of the airbag is likely to be insufficient, causing the probe to not reach the end, and it can only be checked from the patient's mouth or anus, and the hook is pulled repeatedly. The action makes the patient very uncomfortable; there are many parts and complex structures, and a special disinfection room is required to disinfect them, which is particularly time-consuming and manpower-consuming.
