Endoscope and using method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses an endoscope and a using method thereof. The endoscope comprises a disposable lens rod and a reusable handle which are connected in a split mode. A camera and a light source are arranged in the far end of the lens rod, the near end of the lens rod is provided with a multifunctional composite waterproof plug-in male head, and the far end and the near end are connected through a signal cable. The reusable handle is provided with a shell, a built-in power supply, a built-in image processor and a built-in regulator facing the camera and the light source; one end of the handle is provided with a butt joint signal terminal and a plug-in female head for transmitting data and control signals; and the surface of the handle is provided with at least one physical operation part connected with the camera regulator. On the basis of the novel design of the endoscope, the lens rod for in-vivo image acquisition is set as a disposable accessory and is connected with the reusablehandle through a plug-in assembly and the signal terminal of the plug-in assembly, so that the operation becomes convenient; meanwhile, the lens rod for in-vivo image acquisition can be operated by one hand and rotates independent of the handle, and the orientation and angle of the camera are flexible and adjustable, so that high-precision image acquisition is carried out.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to an endoscope and a using method thereof. Background technique [0002] Endoscope is a cutting-edge instrument commonly used in the current medical industry, and it has reached a high degree of popularization. For medical endoscopes, the clarity of image acquisition and the convenience of one-handed operation have always been the technical aspects that R&D personnel in this equipment industry are committed to tackling key problems. It is generally known that reusable endoscopes usually need to be cleaned and sterilized before use, so higher requirements are placed on the airtight and waterproof properties of the inner cavity of the endoscope housing. However, in the actual use process, the endoscope after the secondary sterilization process will form aerosol during use due to the unavoidable infiltration of water vapor, or damage to other parts, which greatly affects th...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, in the actual use process, the endoscope after the secondary sterilization process will form aerosol during use due to the unavoidable infiltration of water vapor, or damage to other parts, which greatly affects the "inner "peep" clarity and other functions

At the same time, reusable endoscopes need to be cleaned and sterilized after each use, which is not only troublesome to operate, but also easy to cause secondary infection, and the sterility cannot be guaranteed

[0003] Moreover, as an endoscope is a high-precision electronic application tool, the prevention of water vapor infiltration will undoubtedly increase the difficulty and cost of the product manufacturing process, and also virtually increase the risk during the use of the endoscope.

[0004] In addition, since the current endoscopes need to be connected with fixed equipment, the flexibility of their operation is greatly limited.
