Benefits of technology

The design minimizes insertion time, maintains a clear visual field, and increases polyp detection rates by allowing the guide cap to adjust its length based on the practitioner's needs, effectively addressing the limitations of conventional endoscopes.

Problems solved by technology

However, because the inner walls of the large intestine are folded and curved, there was a difficulty in smoothly taking pictures of the inner wall surfaces using the endoscope.
However, when inserting the endoscope while the cap is coupled, there was a problem in which the visual field of the endoscope may be narrowed, and time taken for insertion may become longer.

Abstract

The present invention relates to an endoscope. The present invention may include an endoscope main body; and a guide cap that is mounted to be fixed to a front end of the endoscope main body when inserting the endoscope main body into a human body and slides to protrude toward the front of the endoscope main body when withdrawing the endoscope main body inserted into the human body. An object of the present invention is to facilitate insertion of the endoscope by freely varying a length of the cap from the front end of the endoscope, and to enhance the detection rate of polyp.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This is a divisional application of U.S. application Ser. No. 15 / 111,656 filed on Jul. 14, 2016, which is a 371 of International Application No. PCT / KR2015 / 000845, filed Jan. 27, 2015, and which claims benefit of priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0010841 filed on Jan. 28, 2014 and No. 10-2014-0033951 filed on Mar. 24, 2014 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.BACKGROUND1. Field[0002]The present invention relates to an endoscope, and more particularly, to an endoscope having a structure that is capable of smoothly performing insertion, while securing the visual field of the endoscope, even when a cap is coupled.2.
