Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, and specifically, it is a ureteroscope that is convenient for detecting urinary calculi. Background Technique

[0002] A ureteroscope is an endoscope that uses special instruments to perform diagnosis and disease treatment in the upper urinary tract of the urinary system. It does not require large incisions in the human body, significantly reduces tissue damage, thus accelerating the body's recovery, shortening the treatment course, improving the curative effect, and is an important development in endoscope technology. Its clinical application has changed the traditional concept that it has been difficult to perform direct examinations in the ureter, renal pelvis and calyces for a long time and open surgery has to be performed for upper urinary tract diseases. Currently, the ureteroscopes in use are divided into two categories: rigid ureteroscopes and flexible ureteroscopes. In specific surgical operations, when the calculi are widely distributed or located secretly, there are certain limitations. For example, for calculi located in multiple renal calyces or calculi in the upper segment of the ureter at a relatively far distance from the UPJ (ureteropelvic junction), the ureteroscope needs to swing at a large angle or turn multiple times to detect the calculi. An overly large swing angle causes tearing of the punctured renal calyx, resulting in bleeding during and after the operation; another example is that the calculi are located in the parallel renal calyces of the punctured renal calyx. At this time, the rigid renal endoscope cannot deflect 180° to detect the calculi. Using a flexible cystoscope. Because the whole body of the flexible cystoscope is flexible, a rigid endoscope needs to be used to pre-fix the sheath tube channel to the target renal calyx first, and then the flexible cystoscope is replaced to enter the target renal calyx. However, the puncture sheath tube is also mostly flexible, and the fixing effect is poor; after lithotripsy, it is necessary to replace the rigid renal endoscope again to flush the calculi out of the body. Repeatedly replacing the endoscope equipment destroys the continuity of the operation and prolongs the operation time.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN200610152517.8, with the invention name of "retractable and bendable ureteroscope at the end", publication number CN101152074A, discloses a ureteroscope. Its endoscope body is a rigid structure, but the end of the endoscope body is designed to be the same as the end of the traditional flexible ureteroscope, and can bend 0-180° in two opposite directions. And before the ureteroscope reaches the renal pelvis or the affected part, the flexible end of the endoscope body is completely immersed in the rigid endoscope body; when performing diagnostic or treatment operations, the flexible end of the endoscope body extends out of the rigid endoscope body and bends through the control handle.

[0004] The problems existing in the above patent document are: the end of the endoscope body has to be completely immersed in the rigid endoscope body, which directly affects the setting and arrangement of the original light guide beam, inlet pipeline, etc. inside the rigid endoscope body, and there is no specific technical solution for controlling the bending angle of the flexible end of the endoscope body.

[0056] It should be noted in this embodiment that:

[0057] One end of the lens body 2 is connected to the lens body 1, and the other end is provided with a bending detection tube 3; a control handle 4 for controlling the bending detection tube 3 is also provided on one side of the lens body 1. The effects of this design are as follows: By bending the bending detection tube 3 through the control handle 4, on the one hand, during insertion, it can smoothly fit the physiological structure channel, facilitating smooth insertion; on the other hand, by bending the bending detection tube 3 through the control handle 4, the visual field blind area and operation blind area of the rigid ureteroscope are eliminated, and the position of the stone can be quickly and accurately detected, solving the problem that the rigid ureteroscope cannot bend to detect stones; at the same time, it has a larger bendable range than the traditional flexible ureteroscope, facilitating entry into each renal calyx, and having the ability to detect stones from multiple angles, solving the problem of stone residue due to unclear angles in the prior art when using a flexible ureteroscope to remove stones.

[0058] The bending detection tube 3 includes a protective sleeve 31 and a bending mechanism 32; the bending mechanism 32 includes an inner sleeve 321, a pulling strip 322, and a bending snake bone member 323; the bending snake bone member 323 includes an annular piece 3231, and the bending snake bone member 323 is composed of several annular pieces 3231. The effects of this design are as follows: The bending mechanism 32 is designed with reference to the principle of snake-shaped bending and is composed of several annular pieces 3231. The pulling strip 322 is threaded through the annular piece 3231, which is equivalent to establishing multiple pulling points, realizing flexible bending with adjustable bending degree, facilitating timely detection of the position of the stone, and having a larger bendable range than the traditional flexible ureteroscope.

[0059] One end of the described curved snake bone member 323 is provided with an end annular seat 3232, and the other end is provided with a fixing sleeve 3233, and the fixing sleeve 3233 is connected to the lens body 2; a pulling strip 322 is passed through the annular piece 3231; one end of the inner sleeve 321 is connected to the lens body 2, and the other end is connected to the end annular seat 3232; one end of the pulling strip 322 is fixed to the end annular seat 3232, and the other end is connected to a control handle 4, and the pulling strip 322 passes through the lens body 2 and the lens body 1 in sequence and is fixedly connected to the control handle 4. The effect of this design is that: through the pulling strip 322, a framework is established for the annular piece 3231, and it is convenient to control the pulling strip 322 to realize the bending shape of the curved snake bone member 323; by providing the inner sleeve 321, on the one hand, it is convenient to support the annular piece 3231, and at the same time, it has a guiding function and is convenient for insertion. If there is no inner sleeve 321 design, the entire curved snake bone member 323 has no direction guiding function and is not convenient to implant in the ureter, affecting its visual blind area. Through the design of the fixing sleeve 3233, it realizes the fixing function at the connection of the lens body 2, preventing the problem that in the prior art, the connection between the lens body 2 of some ureteroscopes and the bending part is unstable, which affects stone extraction. By providing the end annular seat 3232, on the one hand, it is convenient to provide an installation position for other components of the ureteroscope, and on the other hand, it provides a fixed point for the pulling strip 322.

[0060] The described protective sleeve 31 is externally connected to the outer periphery of the annular piece 3231, and one end of the protective sleeve 31 is connected to the lens body 2, and the other end is connected to the end annular seat 3232. The effect of this design is that: through the design of the protective sleeve 31, it has a protective effect and prevents damage to the inner wall mucosa such as the ureter.

[0061] The described control handle 4 is arranged on the side of the lens body 1, without affecting the instrument operation end and the eyepiece operation end on the side of the lens body 1. As long as the pulling hole 8 of the lens body 1 is set to be independent and independent of the original instrument channel of the lens body 1, it is convenient to lead the pulling strip 322 into the control handle 4.

[0062] The described control handle 4 includes a first connection disk 41 and a second connection disk 42; a rotating column 411 is provided on the first connection disk 41; a rotating cavity 421 is provided on the second connection disk 42; the rotating column 411 and the rotating cavity 421 are connected by means of a movable hinge; a pulling bar 322 is connected between the first connection disk 41 and the second connection disk 42; a rotating rod 412 is provided on the first connection disk 41; when the rotating rod 412 swings to one side, the pulling bar 322 exerts a pulling effect on the bent snake bone member 323, so that the bent detection tube 3 is bent. The effect of this design is that the first connection disk 41 is provided with a rotating cavity 421, and the second connection disk 42 is provided with a rotating cavity 421, and the rotating column 411 and the rotating cavity 421 are hinged, having a certain degree of freedom of movement. One end of the pulling bar 322 is fixed on the first connection disk 41. When the rotating rod 412 controls the first connection disk 41 to swing relative to the second connection disk 42, a pulling effect is exerted on the pulling bar 322, so as to better achieve bending.

[0063] The principle of the control handle 4 controlling the bending of the bent detection tube 3 is as follows: The bent detection tube 3 is connected to the control handle 4 through the pulling bar 322. The control handle 4 end has a degree of freedom of swinging in four directions due to the movable hinge between the first connection disk 41 and the second connection disk 42. When swinging to one side, it will cause the pulling bar 322 to produce a pulling effect, and the distal end of the pulling bar 322 is connected to the bent snake bone member 323, and it can be bent with a slight pulling force. Therefore, the bending of the bent detection tube 3 is controlled by the control handle 4.

[0064] The described annular pieces 3231 are linearly distributed on the inner sleeve 321; the pulling bar 322 is at least one and is threaded through each annular piece 3231. The effect of this design is: Through the linear distribution method, the flexibility is good, which is conducive to consistent deformation and bending, that is, consistent bending in a certain direction.

[0065] A clamping groove 32321 for fixing the pulling bar 322 is provided on the outer periphery of the end annular seat 3232; one end of the end annular seat 3232 is provided with an outer connecting tube 32322 connected to the protective sleeve 31, and an inner connecting tube 32323 matched with the inner sleeve 321. The effect of this design is: Through the design of the clamping groove 32321, it is convenient to clamp and fix the end of the pulling bar 322 to prevent detachment. By providing the outer connecting tube 32322 on the end annular seat 3232, it is convenient to establish a fixed connection with the protective sleeve 31; by providing the inner connecting tube 32323 on the end annular seat 3232, it is convenient to establish a fixed connection with the inner sleeve 321. In this way, compared with the traditional ureteroscope, the cooperation between the inner sleeve 321 and the annular fixing seat also acts as the function of the lens body 2, thus not affecting the functions related to the ureteroscope.

[0066] The inner sleeve 321, the annular piece 3231, and the outer connecting tube 32322 are all made of elastic materials. The effect of this design is as follows: being made of elastic materials, on the one hand, it has good elasticity, enabling it to have a certain supporting and guiding effect in the ureter; on the other hand, when being controlled to bend through the pulling strip 322, it has good compliance and excellent bending performance. Because if it is not made of elastic materials, it is easy to break when being pulled by external forces, which is not conducive to controlling the bending degree. For example, if a rigid material is used, the angle may suddenly bend to a certain angle instead of achieving the bending of the angle through an asymptotic adjustment method.

[0067] Instrument channel openings 5 are provided on the lens body 1, the mirror body 2, the inner sleeve 321, and the end annular seat 3232; pulling holes 8 are provided on the mirror body 2 and the lens body 1; the instrument channel openings 5 and the pulling holes 8 are independent of each other. The effect of this design is: it does not affect the functions of the ureteroscope itself. For example, a laser fiber or a basket stone extractor can be inserted into the instrument channel opening 5; in addition, the pulling hole 8 is used for threading the pulling strip 322, and the pulling hole 8 is independent of the instrument channel opening 5 and does not interfere with each other.

[0068] Pulling holes 8 for connecting the pulling strips 322 in series are provided on the annular piece 3231, which is convenient for the pulling strip 322 to connect each annular piece 3231 together. The connection between the annular piece 3231 and the inner sleeve 321 is an interference fit connection method. The effect of this design is: each annular piece 3231 is provided with a pulling hole 8, enabling the pulling strip 322 to pass through each annular piece 3231. The interference fit method is adopted between the annular piece 3231 and the inner sleeve 321 to prevent the annular piece 3231 from detaching when being bent by force.

[0069] There are four pulling strips 322, and the pulling strips 322 are made of flexible metal materials. The effect of this design is: the pulling strips 322 are set to 4 and are distributed in the front, back, left, and right directions, facilitating the bending of the bending detection tube 3 in the front, back, left, and right directions.

[0070] An eyepiece port 7, a light source port 6, and an instrument channel opening 5 are provided on the lens body 1. The effect of this design is: it does not affect the settings and arrangements of the original light guide beam and the instrument channel opening 5 inside the rigid mirror body 2.

[0071] Working principle: A ureteroscope for facilitating the detection of urinary calculi according to the present utility model, in the use state, is first inserted through the urethra. When turning through the bladder and entering the ureter, in order to smoothly transition from the bladder to the ureter, the bending state of the bending detection tube 3 can be adjusted by rotating the control handle 4, so as to enter the ureter. When detecting the position of the calculi in the ureter, the bending state of the bending detection tube 3 is controlled again by the control handle 4, so as to accurately detect the position of the calculi. After the position of the calculi is determined, relevant instruments are implanted through the instrument channel to remove the calculi.

[0072] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art of this technology, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several improvements and supplements can be made, and these improvements and supplements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model.
