[0002] The existing medical endoscope catheter is used to enter natural cavity or pathological sinus channel in human body, and operations such as biopsy, tissue ablation, electrocision, laser lithotripsy are carried out.If the natural cavity is narrow, the hard tip edge of the endoscope catheter head expands the natural cavity radially, which inevitably damages the mucosa tissue;And the waste materials such as secretions, blood clots and stone debris adhere to the surface of the mucosa tissue and are difficult to clean.Some waste materials are located in blind cavities such as nasal sinus, appendix and kidney calyx, and the cleaning of waste materials usually requires the use of flushing fluid and negative pressure suction, which has poor flushing flexibility and small flushing area;During the treatment of urinary system stones, the recurrence rate of kidney stone patients after treatment is high, and one of the main reasons for the high recurrence rate of stones is that the stones are not completely cleaned during treatment, and many stones smaller than 3mm are left in the patient's body.Currently, it is time-consuming and laborious to use negative pressure technology to attract small size stone debris or even stone powder to the outside of the body, and the stone cleaning field is poor during the operation, the operation frequency is extremely high, the operation difficulty is large, and the operation efficiency is low, the whole process of laser lithotripsy is time-consuming, and it is difficult to completely avoid the high temperature and high pressure damage of urinary system during the stone crushing process, and small stone clumps are also easy to block the working channel of the endoscope catheter, which may even cause life danger in serious cases.

[0004] The utility model is implemented as follows:
[0005] The medical endoscope catheter is provided with a working channel penetrating the head and tail, the working channel has an opening in the body when used and at least one opening outside the body, a sheet-shaped isolation body divides the internal space of the working channel into an upper cavity and a lower cavity, the center area of the isolation body is provided with a central hole for passing through an optical fiber or a guide wire, a plurality of interception holes are arranged outside the central hole, and the edge area of the isolation body is provided with a viewing assembly accommodating hole, and the viewing assembly is embedded in the accommodating hole or moves up and down along the accommodating hole.
[0006] Preferably, the isolation body is transparent.
[0007] A specific structure of the head capsule, the free part of the head capsule is provided with a plurality of outward liquid outlets on the side close to the top end of the head of the endoscope catheter.
[0008] In order to make the water flow into the upper cavity of the isolation body conveniently, at least one inward liquid outlet is opened on the inner surface of the wall of the endoscope catheter covered by the free part of the head capsule.
[0009] In order to better flush, a second fluid passage is arranged in the wall of the endoscope catheter, and the opening of the second fluid passage is arranged at the top end of the head of the endoscope catheter.
[0010] In order to facilitate the up and down movement of the viewing assembly to realize the visualization of operation, the viewing assembly is connected with a non-fixed tube with fixed or movable position, the viewing assembly is arranged at the distal end of the tube, the tube is arranged in a tube channel in the wall of the endoscope catheter, the viewing assembly is arranged outside the tube channel opening at the bottom of the lower cavity of the isolation body, the tube channel opening is arranged on the operating handle of the endoscope catheter, and part of the tube is arranged outside the tube channel opening.

[0015] Preferably, at least one of the inner and outer surfaces of the endoscope catheter is attached with a hydrophilic coating, which can significantly reduce the friction generated when the endoscope catheter contacts the mucosa tissue after being hydrated, and reduce mucosa damage.
[0016] The utility model discloses the beneficial effect is:
[0017] 1. The endoscope catheter working channel accesses negative pressure, and the water flow enters the upper cavity of the isolation body to continuously discharge the waste material to the body through the working channel, which improves the efficiency and eliminates the risk of high-temperature damage during the operation, integrates flushing, suction, isolation and removal of waste material into a complete system solution.
[0018] 2. When the present solution is applied to the field of urinary laser lithotripsy, compared with the traditional lithotripsy system, the endoscope catheter and the sheath tube need to leave a certain gap (generally 0.5-0.75mm) to facilitate the cooling and flushing water flow to carry the stone debris out of the body, which results in the need to use a larger diameter sheath tube or a smaller diameter endoscope catheter, which increases the damage to the human mucosa tissue during the insertion into the human body or causes the working channel cross-sectional area of the endoscope catheter to be correspondingly smaller. The utility model uses the gap between the endoscope catheter and the sheath tube (mirror-sheath gap) to transport the water flow, and uses the working channel of the endoscope catheter to suck the water flow and the stone debris to the body, the mirror-sheath gap only needs to be kept small, and the diameter of the working channel of the endoscope catheter is increased, which further improves the lithotripsy efficiency.

When the head capsule lumen is filled with liquid, the head capsule free part deforms and expands, which can radially expand the narrow natural cavity such as the narrow urinary tract, ureter and renal calyx orifice, etc. Compared with the radial rigid expansion during the axial advancement of the traditional endoscope catheter, the radial flexible expansion of the head capsule avoids the shear damage to the mucosa of the natural cavity.
[0020] 4. After the head capsule free part is filled and expanded, the natural cavity openings such as the nasal sinus opening and the renal calyx orifice can be plugged, which avoids the flushing liquid and harmful waste material from flowing out of the gap between the head capsule and the natural cavity opening, and eliminates or reduces the risk of pollution and damage caused by the waste material flowing to the outside of the natural cavity opening.
[0021] 5. The sheet-shaped isolator divides the internal space of the working channel of the endoscope catheter into an upper cavity and a lower cavity, and is provided with a central hole and an intercepting hole, and the isolator blocks large-sized waste materials in the upper cavity, and small-sized waste materials are taken out of the body by water flow, so that high-efficiency flushing and suction functions are realized, and the working channel of the endoscope catheter is prevented from being blocked, and smoothness in the working process is ensured; and isolators of different specifications can be configured, and the central hole and the intercepting hole of the isolator can be set to have different aperture sizes according to actual requirements, so as to isolate waste materials of different sizes.
[0022] 6. The isolator in the scheme is provided with a peeping assembly accommodating hole, the peeping assembly can be embedded in the accommodating hole and can move up and down through the accommodating hole, and functions such as flushing and suction are realized under direct visualization; because the peeping assembly can move up and down through the accommodating hole, when the peeping assembly is located in the lower cavity, the peeping assembly can accurately guide the optical fiber or guide wire to pass through the central hole or the intercepting hole, when the peeping assembly is located in the region adjacent to the accommodating hole, the peeping assembly can accurately guide the upper cavity to contact the waste materials for removal, and when the peeping assembly is located in the region adjacent to the opening of the working channel, the peeping assembly can assist in observing the condition of the natural cavity.
[0023] 7. When treating ureteral calculi, especially calculi falling into the ureter within one week, the head capsule is inflated to dilate the local ureter to remove the impaction of the calculi, and the calculi are adsorbed by the negative pressure of the working channel, and the calculi can be removed from the ureter without laser release.

[0047] Example 2:
[0048] As shown in Figure 2A , 2BThe difference between the embodiment 1 is that the head capsule free part is provided with a plurality of outward liquid outlets 401 on the side close to the tip of the endoscope catheter head, and the head capsule lumen 40 is in communication with the outside through the plurality of outward liquid outlets 401, that is, the fluid can flow out of the natural cavity through the outward liquid outlets 401, and at this time the increased head capsule lumen pressure will spray the fluid to the natural cavity through the outward liquid outlets 401, further expanding and lubricating the narrow part of the natural cavity, and the liquid and flushing materials after flushing are sucked into the working channel 10 through the inner opening of the working channel of the endoscope catheter 1, and then discharged to the outside of the body through the outer opening of the working channel, and a negative pressure pipeline and related negative pressure suction device (not shown) need to be connected to the outer opening of the working channel during use; as Figure 2A As shown, when the dilatation and suction integrated medical endoscope catheter travels to the narrow part in the natural cavity (such as ureter U), the fluid is injected into the head capsule lumen 40 from the outside of the body through the first fluid passage 16 and the first fluid passage inner opening 161, and the inflatable head capsule free part 42 deforms and expands outward, radially expanding the narrow ureter, at this time the inner opening of the working channel of the endoscope catheter is tightly attached to the stone S, and the laser fiber L is aligned with the stone; as Figure 2B As shown, the original stone in the ureter U is broken into stone chips and stone powder by the energy released by the optical fiber, among which the slightly large size stone chips S1 are blocked on the isolation body upper cavity 1001 by the isolation body 2, and the smaller size stone powder S2 is carried to the isolation body lower cavity 1002 by the flushing liquid through the interception hole 201, and the liquid continuously carries the heat energy generated by the laser and the stone powder S2 to the outside of the body through the working channel 10 of the endoscope catheter; when the tip of the endoscope catheter enters the renal calyx, the head capsule free part can block the renal calyx after expansion and dilation, and many stone chips in the renal calyx are difficult to escape from the blocked renal calyx to other areas of the renal pelvis in the process of water flow flushing and working channel negative pressure suction at the outward liquid outlet, realizing sufficient cleaning of the stone chips under the vision and eliminating the risk of stone chip residue.
[0049] In this embodiment, at least one inward liquid outlet 402 is opened on the inner surface 1111 of the wall of the endoscope catheter 1 covered by the head capsule free part 42, and the first fluid passage 16 is in communication with the working channel 10 of the endoscope catheter through the plurality of inward liquid outlets, when the first fluid passage is injected with liquid, the liquid can be ejected from the inward liquid outlet 402 to impact the area of the working channel inner opening 101, avoiding the blockage of the working channel inner opening 101 by large stones, inflammatory secretions, etc., and also assisting in increasing the perfusion water flow in the working channel 10 for improving the flushing and cooling effect.
[0050] The head capsule inner cavity of the head capsule can be filled with a fluid such as a flushing liquid, a lubricant such as a lubricating agent, an agent such as an afuzosin that increases the extensibility of the ureter; when filled with a fluid such as a flushing liquid, it can play a role in expanding the free part of the head capsule, flushing, lubricating the natural cavity, cooling during laser lithotripsy, etc.; when filled with a lubricant such as a lubricating agent, the lubricating agent flows out through the outward liquid outlet on the expanded and dilated free part of the head capsule, which can lubricate the natural cavity to make the endoscope catheter easy to pass through the narrow part and minimize damage to the tissue mucosa; when filled with an agent such as afuzosin, it can relax the smooth muscle and increase the extensibility of the ureter and other natural cavities, making it easier to insert an endoscope catheter, a sheath tube, etc.
