Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly to a wearable knuckle protection device for gastroscopy examination. Background Art

[0002] In the modern medical field, gastroscopy examination is one of the important means for diagnosing gastrointestinal diseases. Gastroscopy examination can directly observe the internal conditions of the esophagus, stomach, and large intestine, detect lesions such as ulcers, polyps, tumors, etc., and provide accurate diagnostic basis for doctors. However, this examination has extremely high requirements for doctors' operations. During the examination process, doctors need to hold the gastroscope tube for a long time and accurately insert it into the patient's body to ensure that all parts of the patient's gastrointestinal tract can be comprehensively and clearly observed.

[0003] Currently, conventional gastroscope devices mainly consist of a long and slender flexible tube and an operation handle. When operating, doctors control the forward, backward, rotation, and bending of the tube through the handle. When adjusting the angle of the tube, it is mostly achieved by rotating the wrist. And in terms of supporting and fixing the tube, it basically relies on the doctor's hand to directly and continuously apply force to hold it.

[0004] In the actual gastroscopy examination scenario, an examination often needs to last for a long time. Simply holding the gastroscope tube for a long time makes the doctor's hand muscles in a tense state for a long time, which is extremely likely to cause hand fatigue and soreness, affecting the stability and persistence of the doctor's operation. When adjusting the angle of the gastroscope, relying on the way of wrist rotation not only makes the doctor's wrist move frequently, resulting in fatigue and discomfort, but also the accuracy of this adjustment method is limited, making it difficult to meet the precise observation requirements for some subtle lesion sites. At the same time, due to the lack of effective protection for the doctor's finger joints, the gastroscope tube is in direct contact with the finger joints, and the finger joints are prone to wear and abrasion during frequent operations. These problems not only reduce the doctor's operation experience, but also have a certain impact on the accuracy and reliability of the examination results. Therefore, the present invention provides a wearable knuckle protection device for gastroscopy examination to solve the deficiencies existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a wearable knuckle protection device for gastroscopy examination, which solves the problem that doctors' fingers are prone to fatigue and discomfort due to long-term contact with the tube during gastroscopy examination and detection in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions: A wearable knuckle protection device for gastroscopy examination, including a wearing mechanism, and the wearing mechanism is used to assist in supporting the tube of the gastroscope.

[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 - attached Figure 4, an embodiment of the present invention provides a wearable knuckle protection device for gastroscopy and colonoscopy examinations, including a wearing mechanism for assisting in supporting the pipeline of the gastroscope. Among them, the palm ring 1 is put on the palm, and two fixing buckles 3 arranged on the outside thereof and the connecting strip 4 between the two fixing buckles 3 on the upper and lower sides can be adjusted and adapted according to the palm size. The inner side of the elastic band 2 fits the wrist, and the connecting strip 5 fixedly connected to one end is matched with the connecting strip 8 through the connecting ring 6. A plurality of card holes 9 are provided inside the connecting strip 8. After the connecting strip 8 is inserted into the inner side of the connecting ring 6 and adjusted to a proper position, the support rod 7 is passed through one of the card holes 9 and fits the outer side of the connecting ring 6 to stably wear on the wrist. Two fixing buckles 10 are provided on the outer sides of the palm ring 1 and the connecting strip 5, and a connecting strip 11 is provided between the two fixing buckles 10 on the upper and lower sides. Support rings 12 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the palm ring 1 and the elastic band 2 for passing through the pipeline of the gastroscope, so that the pipeline of the gastroscope can be hung on the palm, greatly reducing the continuous holding time of the doctor and reducing hand fatigue.

[0026] The steering mechanism is located outside the wearing mechanism and is used to twist the angle of the gastroscope pipeline. The sleeve ring 17 is put on the outside of the pipeline, and a plurality of dial plates 18 fixedly connected to the outer periphery thereof facilitate the doctor to push with the thumb and index finger to achieve angle adjustment. The screw 19 is threadedly connected inside the sleeve ring 17. When the screw 19 is turned, the pressing block 20 rotatably connected to one end of the screw 19 can clamp and fix the pipeline. A plurality of combined rods 21 fixedly connected to the outer side of the sleeve ring 17 are wound around the outside of the pipeline through the tape 22 to further enhance the structural stability and ensure that the pipeline will not move randomly when the angle is adjusted.

[0027] The protection mechanism is located below the steering mechanism and is used to protect the fingers and support the pipeline. The protection mechanism includes a limiting component and an arc-shaped supporting plate 16. The limiting component includes a finger ring 13, the finger ring 13 is located below the steering mechanism, a connecting block 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the finger ring 13, and a finger ring 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block 14. The doctor passes the middle finger and the ring finger through the finger ring 15 and the connecting block 14 respectively. The protective pads provided on the inner sides of the finger ring 13 and the finger ring 15 can increase the wearing comfort and avoid discomfort caused by long-term use. The outer side of the arc-shaped supporting plate 16 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the finger ring 15, which can hold the gastroscope pipeline and effectively prevent the pipeline from directly contacting the finger joints, thus achieving the effect of protecting the finger joints.

[0028] Specifically, before performing a gastroscopy or colonoscopy operation, the doctor puts the palm ring 1 on the palm. The two fixing buckles 3 on the outer side of the palm ring 1 cooperate with the connecting strip 4, which can be flexibly adjusted according to the width of the doctor's palm to ensure that the palm ring 1 can fit tightly and comfortably on the palm part, laying a foundation for subsequent wearing and support. Then, the inner side of the elastic band 2 is attached to the wrist. One end of the elastic band 2 is connected to the connecting strip 5, which is connected to the connecting ring 6. The connecting strip 8 is threaded through the inner side of the connecting ring 6. At this time, the doctor can select a suitable position among the multiple card holes 9 opened on the connecting strip 8 according to the thickness of his own wrist, and then pass the support rod 7 through one of the selected card holes 9 and make it fit tightly with the outer side of the connecting ring 6. After this series of operations are completed, the wrist part is worn. This wearing method can not only be firmly fixed on the wrist, but also ensure that the device will not slip or shift during a long operation, effectively guaranteeing the stability of the doctor's operation. After wearing the wrist part, the pipeline of the gastroscope is passed through the support ring 12, so that the pipeline of the gastroscope can be hung on the palm. This design greatly reduces the time for the doctor to continuously hold the pipeline by hand, avoiding problems such as hand muscle fatigue and soreness caused by simply holding it by hand for a long time, enabling the doctor to maintain more lasting energy and a stable operation state during the operation. Next, the doctor passes the middle finger and the ring finger through the ring 2 15 and the connecting block 14 respectively. Since the inner sides of the ring 1 13 and the ring 2 15 are provided with protective pads, when the fingers pass through, the protective pads can effectively disperse the pressure, increasing the comfort of wearing and avoiding the compression and discomfort caused by long-term wearing to the finger joints. After the middle finger and the ring finger are in place, the arc-shaped support plate 16 can firmly support the gastroscope pipeline. This structural design cleverly avoids the direct contact between the pipeline and the finger joints, thus effectively protecting the finger joints and reducing the possible wear, abrasion and other injuries caused by frequent contact with the pipeline.

[0029] When the angle of the gastroscope needs to be adjusted, the collar 17 is sleeved outside the pipeline, and the screw 19 threadedly connected inside the collar 17 plays a key role. By turning the two screws 19, the pressing blocks 20 rotatably connected to one end of the screws 19 will approach the pipeline until the pipeline is tightly clamped. This step ensures that the pipeline will not loosen or displace during the angle adjustment process, guaranteeing the accuracy and stability of the angle adjustment. Then, the tape 22 is used to wind the multiple combined rods 21 outside the pipeline, further enhancing the stability of the entire structure, so that the pipeline can always remain in the set position during subsequent operations. At this time, the doctor can easily rotate one end of the gastroscope by pushing the multiple deflectors 18 fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the collar 17 with the thumb and index finger. This operation method replaces the traditional method of adjusting the angle of the gastroscope by rotating the wrist. On the one hand, the doctor's hand can maintain a relatively comfortable and natural posture, reducing the fatigue and discomfort caused by frequent wrist rotation. On the other hand, compared with the traditional wrist rotation adjustment method, the accuracy of adjusting the angle through the deflector 18 is higher, and the doctor can more precisely control the angle of the gastroscope, so as to observe the patient's body condition more clearly and improve the accuracy and reliability of the examination.

[0030] Working principle: First, the user can put the palm ring 1 on the palm, then make the inner side of the elastic band 2 fit the wrist, and then thread the connecting band II 8 through the inner side of the connecting ring 6. After adjustment, pass the support rod 7 through one of the card holes 9 and fit it with the outer side of the connecting ring 6, so that the wrist part can be worn. The two support rings 12 are used to pass through the pipeline of the gastroscope, so that the pipeline of the gastroscope can be hung on the palm, arbitrarily reducing the continuous holding time and reducing hand fatigue. The middle finger and ring finger are respectively passed through the finger ring II 15 and the connecting block 14, and the arc-shaped support plate 16 can be used to support the gastroscope pipeline to avoid direct contact with the finger joints, thus playing a protective role. In addition, the collar 17 is sleeved outside the pipeline, and turning the two screws 19 can make the two pressing blocks 20 clamp the pipeline. Then, the tape 22 is used to wind the multiple combined rods 21 outside the pipeline. In this way, by pushing the deflector 18 to deflect with the thumb and index finger, one end of the gastroscope can be rotated, replacing the traditional wrist rotation to adjust the angle deflection of the gastroscope. On the one hand, it can keep the doctor's hand in a comfortable posture, and on the other hand, it has better accuracy than the wrist rotation adjustment.
