Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a delivery structure for an endoscope used in breast augmentation surgery. Background Technology

[0002] Endoscopic breast augmentation surgery is a minimally invasive technique used in breast augmentation procedures. An endoscope is a small device equipped with lenses and a light source, allowing doctors to visualize the surgical area inside the body and perform precise procedures using surgical instruments. The use of endoscopy makes the surgery more precise, results in smaller incisions, and allows for faster recovery, while also reducing the risk of postoperative complications.

[0003] In endoscopic breast augmentation surgery, the incision is usually made in inconspicuous locations such as the armpit or inframammary fold. The endoscope and surgical instruments are then inserted into the body through these incisions. The surgeon can observe the surgical process on a monitor, allowing for precise implantation of the prosthesis into the breast tissue. This method reduces the risk of damage to surrounding vital structures, such as breast tissue, blood vessels, and nerves.

[0004] Some existing endoscopes are heavy or bulky, making them difficult to operate, especially during breast augmentation surgery where prolonged operation can lead to surgeon fatigue. Therefore, they do not meet the current needs. To address this, we propose a delivery structure for the endoscope used in breast augmentation surgery. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example 1: This example aims to address the problem of existing endoscopes being too heavy or bulky, making operation difficult, especially during breast augmentation surgery where prolonged manipulation can lead to surgeon fatigue. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1-4An endoscopic delivery structure for breast augmentation surgery includes a catheter 110, a handle 111, and a lens 112. The catheter 110 is mounted on the handle 111, and the lens 112 is mounted on the end of the catheter 110. Several auxiliary rings 113 for easy operation are mounted on the handle 111. A support plate 114 is provided at the bottom of the handle 111. A slide rail 115 is provided in the support plate 114. A slider 116 is slidably mounted in the slide rail 115. The slider 116 is movably hinged to the bottom of the handle 111. A clamping ring 117 for external fixation is installed on the front side of the support plate 114.

[0024] Limiting rods 120 are installed on both sides of the slider 116. A slide groove 121 is formed in the slide rail 115, and the slide groove 121 communicates with the slide rail 115. The limiting rods 120 are slidably inserted into the slide groove 121. An auxiliary cavity 122 is formed in the support plate 114, and the auxiliary cavity 122 communicates with the slide groove 121. The limiting rod 120 is inserted into the auxiliary cavity 122 through the slide groove 121. An auxiliary gear 123 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod 120. An auxiliary rack 124 is provided in the auxiliary cavity 122, and the auxiliary gear 123 meshes with the auxiliary rack 124. Limiting plates 125 for limiting the slider 116 are installed at both ends of the support plate 114. Two limiting plates 125 are provided, and the slider 116 is located between the two limiting plates 125.

[0025] The clamping ring 117 is configured as a first half-ring 130 and a second half-ring 131. The first half-ring 130 is located above the second half-ring 131. Both the second half-ring 131 and the first half-ring have adjustment grooves 132. An adjustment screw 133 is inserted into the adjustment groove 132, and the adjustment screw 133 is threaded into the adjustment groove 132. A fixing bolt 134 is installed on the bottom thread of the adjustment screw 133, and the fixing bolt 134 is located at the bottom of the second half-ring 131.

[0026] The position of slider 116 is adjusted as needed, and the stability and positional limitation of slider 116 are ensured by the limiting rod 120 within the slide groove 121 and slide rail 115. The endoscope is inserted into the surgical site through a small incision. The operation-friendly auxiliary ring 113 on handle 111 helps the doctor hold the endoscope more stably during operation. Utilizing the slider 116, limiting rod 120, and adhesive structure on support plate 114, the doctor can precisely adjust the position and angle of the endoscope during surgery, reducing operator fatigue.

[0027] The position and clamping force of the clamping ring 117 are adjusted by adjusting the adjusting groove 132 and adjusting screw 133 to ensure that the support plate 114 can be fixedly installed on the bracket, preventing the endoscope from moving or loosening during surgery. The limiting plate 125 restricts the range of motion of the slider 116 to ensure the stability of the endoscope and the accuracy of operation. After the surgery, the endoscope is removed from the incision, taking care to avoid causing additional damage to the surgical area. The endoscope is cleaned and maintained to ensure it is in good condition before the next use.

[0028] In this embodiment: the position and angle of the endoscope can be precisely adjusted by the movement of the slider 116 through the cooperation of the slide rail 115 and the slide groove 121. The limiting rod 120 ensures the stability of the slider 116 and prevents unnecessary movement during operation, which makes the operation of the endoscope more precise. The precise adjustment of the position of the slider 116 is achieved by the meshing of the auxiliary gear 123 and the rack, allowing the doctor to make fine adjustments during the operation to obtain the best view and positioning. The clamping ring 117 on the support plate 114 is used to fix the endoscope and prevent it from moving or loosening during the operation. The clamping force can be adjusted as needed by the adjustment groove 132 and the screw of the clamping ring 117, thereby enhancing the fixation stability of the endoscope.

[0029] Example 2 aims to address the risk of cross-infection that may arise from repeated use of endoscopes. This example is an improvement upon Example 1. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-4 The handle 111 has an anti-slip texture 135 on its outer surface, which is a dotted raised texture. The catheter 110 is coated with an antibacterial coating 136, which is a copper ion coating. The dotted raised anti-slip texture 135 on the outer surface of the handle 111 can significantly improve the doctor's grip stability during operation. This texture increases friction and prevents the handle 111 from slipping due to sweat or oil on the hands during surgery, helping the doctor to control the endoscope more accurately.

[0030] In this embodiment: the antibacterial coating 136 can reduce the adhesion of microorganisms on the surface of the endoscope, reduce the difficulty of cleaning, make it easier to keep the endoscope hygienic, reduce the difficulty of disinfecting instruments after surgery, and effectively reduce the risk of cross-infection when the endoscope is used multiple times, ensuring the safe use of the equipment. The antibacterial coating 136 has a certain degree of corrosion resistance, which can protect the surface of the catheter 110 from the erosion of liquids and other chemicals, thereby extending the service life of the endoscope.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
