Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical supplies technology, and in particular to a bronchoscope three-way device. Background Technology

[0002] A bronchoscopy is a medical device used to examine the interior of the respiratory tract, primarily for the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory-related diseases. Here are some of the main functions of a bronchoscopy device: It allows direct observation of the trachea and bronchi, including lesions such as inflammation, bleeding points, foreign bodies, and tumors. It also allows for sample collection: a bronchoscopy device can be used to perform tissue biopsies or cell brushes to obtain pathological evidence to aid in disease diagnosis. For example, in cases of suspected lung cancer, tissue samples can be obtained for pathological analysis. Furthermore, it allows for suctioning and clearing secretions: for patients with large amounts of secretions or sputum accumulation, a bronchoscopy can be used for direct suction to maintain a clear airway.

[0003] These features make the bronchoscopy an indispensable tool in fields such as respiratory medicine and thoracic surgery.

[0004] Further research revealed that conventional bronchoscopes lack the function of supplying air; during bronchoscopy, patients typically require continuous oxygen inhalation to maintain normal oxygenation. However, traditional bronchoscopic equipment often lacks this air supply function, which to some extent limits the convenience and safety of the procedure. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a three-way bronchoscope device. When performing a bronchoscopy, the patient needs to inhale oxygen. Therefore, a three-way bronchoscope device is designed for this biopsy tube. It can continue to be used as a biopsy tube to deliver various instruments, and at the same time, it can also allow the patient to directly inhale oxygen into the trachea through the tube.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A bronchoscopic three-way device includes an endoscope biopsy tubing body and a bronchoscopic ventilation device connected to the endoscope biopsy tubing body; the endoscope biopsy tubing body has a biopsy tubing inside.

[0008] The bronchoscope ventilation device includes a tubing body, a first biopsy port along the top of the tubing body, a second biopsy port along the bottom of the tubing body, and a ventilation branch tubing disposed on the side wall of the tubing body; the extension direction of the ventilation branch tubing is perpendicular to the extension direction of the tubing body of the bronchoscope ventilation device.

[0009] The ventilation branch pipe is connected to the oxygen pipeline.

[0010] Preferably, a waterproof cap is also provided at the first biopsy port at the top of the ventilation branch pipe, and the waterproof cap is used to seal the first biopsy port at the top of the ventilation branch pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the tubing body of the bronchoscope ventilation device is detachably connected to the second biopsy port of the endoscopic biopsy tubing body.

[0012] Preferably, the first biopsy port at the top of the ventilation branch pipe is threadedly connected to the waterproof cap.

[0013] Preferably, an oxygen supply flow control valve is also provided between the ventilation branch pipeline and the oxygen pipeline.

[0014] Preferably, the ventilation branch pipe is a sterile engineering plastic component.

[0015] Preferably, the waterproof cap is a rubber stopper or an engineering plastic structural cap.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This invention provides a three-way bronchoscope device with a three-way connector structure. The three-way bronchoscope device comprises an endoscope biopsy tubing body, a bronchoscope ventilation device connected to the endoscope biopsy tubing body, a biopsy tubing, a ventilation branch tubing, an oxygen tubing, etc. The bronchoscope ventilation device includes a tubing body, a first biopsy port along the top of the tubing body, a second biopsy port along the bottom of the tubing body, and a ventilation branch tubing located on the side wall of the tubing body. The extension direction of the ventilation branch tubing is perpendicular to the extension direction of the tubing body of the bronchoscope ventilation device. The ventilation branch tubing is connected to the oxygen tubing. This innovative design of the three-way connector structure (i.e., the bronchoscope three-way device) not only retains the original biopsy function, allowing doctors to flexibly pass various biopsy instruments through the tubing, but also has the ability to directly deliver oxygen. Specifically, one end of the three-way connector is connected to an oxygen source (oxygen tubing), and the other end is connected to the biopsy channel and the patient's trachea, respectively.
