Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of briefcase technology, and more specifically, to a briefcase for bronchoscope examinations. Background Technology

[0002] Fiberoptic bronchoscopy, or bronchoscopy for short, is a medical procedure performed using a bronchoscope. A bronchoscope is a long, thin, tubular instrument equipped with a light source and imaging system. During the procedure, the doctor inserts the bronchoscope through the mouth or nose into the patient's trachea and bronchi. This allows the doctor to directly observe the inside of the trachea and bronchi, checking for conditions such as inflammation, foreign bodies, tumors, etc. Simultaneously, during the examination, the doctor can perform various procedures through the working channel of the bronchoscope, such as tissue biopsy (obtaining tissue for pathological examination to determine the nature of the lesion); irrigation of the affected area to remove secretions or harmful substances; and local treatment of some benign lesions, such as removing small tumors or polyps using laser or cryotherapy, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases.

[0003] When performing bronchoscopic surgeries in the field, medical personnel typically need to carry bronchoscopes and their associated equipment and supplies, including a cold light source, video processor, biopsy forceps, cell brush, suction tube, puncture needle, snare, electrocoagulation equipment, anesthetics, disinfectants, disposable breathing tubing, protective gloves, masks, goggles, and surgical gowns. Currently, these items are often simply packed together in a single medical case without proper categorization. This results in medical personnel spending considerable time sifting through numerous items to find the necessary equipment during preoperative preparation, prolonging preparation time, reducing efficiency, and potentially delaying treatment, especially in emergencies. Furthermore, this centralized storage can cause delicate bronchoscope components to collide and be damaged, increasing medical costs and the risk of equipment malfunction, affecting the smooth progress of the surgery, and hindering efficient field operations and the assurance of medical quality.
