AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing hard and soft cholangioscopy have their own advantages and disadvantages. Hard cholangioscopy cannot be detected in narrow angles or multiple common bile ducts or common hepatic sinus tracts, and soft cholangioscopy cannot provide sufficient hardness support in narrow sinus tracts.

Method used

A modified soft and hard lens combined with a choledoscope is designed. By setting external threads on the hard choledoscope tube and internal threads on the soft lens, the two are threaded to achieve the combination of a hard choledoscope and a soft lens, forming a dual-use one-spectrum, suitable for detection of multiple common bile ducts or common hepatic sinus tracts.

Benefits of technology

It realizes that there is no need to change the lens body during biliary duct or sinus duct exploration. The hard mirror provides open circuit and the soft mirror provides tortuous support, which improves the accuracy and efficiency of the exploration. It is suitable for various liver and common bile duct stone extraction operations.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of choledochoscopes, and particularly relates to an improved combined rigid and flexible choledochoscope. Background Art

[0002] When removing stones from the common bile duct, hepatic duct or through a sinus tract in daily life, usually a rigid choledochoscope or a flexible choledochoscope is used to remove stones, but each of the two choledochoscopes has its own advantages and disadvantages. The rigid choledochoscope is only applicable to the single sinus tract vision and cannot explore in the common bile duct or hepatic duct with a narrow angle or where more stones need to be removed; while when a direct exploration is required, especially in a narrow sinus tract, due to its flexible structure, the flexible choledochoscope does not have a complete rigid force entering the sinus tract. Therefore, we have developed an improved combined rigid and flexible choledochoscope. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide an improved combined rigid and flexible choledochoscope, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0005] An improved combined rigid and flexible choledochoscope includes a main body. A head is arranged at the upper end of the main body. The outer surface of the main body is fixedly connected with a conversion port, a water inlet, a suction device connection end, a lens connection end, and a light source and optical fiber connection end in sequence from top to bottom. A rigid choledochoscope tube is arranged at the lower end of the main body, and a flexible endoscope body is connected to the outer surface of the rigid choledochoscope tube.

[0006] Preferably, an external thread is arranged at the lower part of the outer surface of the rigid choledochoscope tube.

[0007] Preferably, an internal thread is arranged on the inner wall of the flexible endoscope body.

[0008] Preferably, the flexible endoscope body is threadedly connected to the rigid choledochoscope tube through the internal thread.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] By arranging an external thread on the rigid choledochoscope tube and an internal thread on the flexible endoscope body, the flexible endoscope body and the rigid choledochoscope tube are connected together. After the combination of the two, when multiple common bile ducts or hepatic duct sinuses do not need to be explored, the rigid choledochoscope tube is used. In different common bile ducts and hepatic duct cavities where the rigid choledochoscope tube cannot turn, the head end of the rigid choledochoscope tube is directly connected to the flexible endoscope body. It can be used as two functions with one endoscope, and there is no need to replace the rigid and flexible endoscopes during the operation. When exploring the bile duct or sinus tract, it achieves the perfect combination of the rigid endoscope opening the way and the flexible endoscope being tortuous, and more accurately provides intraoperative assistance for various types of exploration and stone removal of the liver and common bile ducts, and cooperates with each area that needs to be explored in the common bile duct and hepatic duct.
