Flexible controllable endoscope

Abstract

The invention mainly discloses a flexible controllable endoscope, and its technical solution includes a fixed handle and a hose, the fixed handle is provided with a first control housing and a second control housing, the first control housing and the second control housing The casings are connected by connecting pipes. The first control casing is equipped with a processing chip, a WiFi signal transmitter, a micro air pump and a winding piece, and the inside of the second control casing is equipped with a rotating piece; one end of the hose is wound On the winding part, the other end of the hose is rotatably connected to a sleeve, and the outer surface of the sleeve is provided with a spiral groove, and a number of support airbags connected through the air guide tube are arranged in the spiral groove, and the inside of the sleeve is provided with an arc-shaped airbag , the inside of the hose is also provided with an inflatable tube, and the inflatable tube communicates with one of the supporting airbags and the arc-shaped airbag respectively. The invention has the characteristics of strong controllability, less damage to the inside of the human body, high observation accuracy and long service life.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of body cavity medical treatment, in particular to a soft steerable endoscope. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, an endoscope generally refers to a medical instrument that enters the human body through various channels to observe the internal conditions of the human body. The endoscope can be used to see lesions that cannot be seen on X-rays, so it is very useful for doctors. For example, with the help of an endoscope, doctors can observe ulcers or tumors in the stomach, and formulate the best treatment plan accordingly. [0003] For example, in the existing endoscope, its pipeline extends into the inside of the human body cavity, colonoscopy and enteroscopy, for example, when the intestinal tract is inspected, because the intestine is long and curled, the inner layer of the colon is a folded structure, so the inner layer of the colon is a wrinkled structure. There are often huge difficulties...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] For example, in the existing endoscope, its pipeline extends into the inside of the human body cavity, colonoscopy and enteroscopy, for example, when the intestinal tract is inspected, because the intestine is long and curled, the inner layer of the colon is a folded structure, so the inner layer of the colon is a wrinkled structure. There are often huge difficulties, for example, the pipeline is difficult to turn and control. Generally, it is passively turned after contact with the material in the body. The friction between the pipeline and the inside of the body is serious, and the patient will feel very uncomfortable. The controllability is not strong, the detection range is small, and the adjustment accuracy It is relatively low and requires multiple adjustments to adjust to a suitable position. The adjustment speed is slow and takes a long time. Under long-term adjustments, the pipeline is likely to collide with the inside of the human body many times, increasing the pain, and the operating pressure of medical staff is also very high. The professional requirements of medical staff are high; and the folds in the intestinal tract will hinder the medical staff from observing the mucosal surface of the intestinal wall, especially the precancerous lesions and malignant lesions hidden in the folds, which will easily affect the accuracy of observation and treatment, resulting in misdiagnosis and affecting The patient's condition; and the tube of the endoscope is very thin, and it will be bent and deformed when it is squeezed, bumped, bent, or landed, resulting in damage to the lens or offset of the optical axis, resulting in unclear or unusable images, and a short service life
