AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The disposable closed sputum collectors used in existing bronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage procedures are costly and have insufficient connection stability, which affects the efficiency of the operation and cannot be modified to reuse low-cost instruments.

Method used

An improved bronchoscope connector was designed, including a connector body, a suction assembly, and a sealing structure. Multiple sets of conical and annular sealing rings ensure the interface is airtight and can be modified with existing consumables to achieve closed collection of lavage fluid.

Benefits of technology

It reduced the cost of medical consumables, improved the stability and efficiency of operations, and saved patients examination costs.

Abstract

The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical instruments, and particularly relates to an improved bronchoscope connector which comprises a connector body and a sputum suction assembly, a connecting cylinder is integrally formed on the outer surface of the connector body, a fixing plate is integrally formed on the connecting cylinder, a sealing cover is arranged on the connecting cylinder, and connectors are integrally formed at the two ends of the connector body. When the sputum suction device is used, the two connectors are taken, the thick end connector of one connector is connected with a thick sputum suction tube, the thin end connector of the other connector is connected with a negative pressure suction device connecting tube, and the thin end connector of the other connector is connected with a thin sputum suction tube. When assembling and using are completed, lavage fluid is collected through the closed cavity, operation is smooth, leakage is avoided, the cost of medical consumables can be remarkably reduced by transforming existing consumables, examination cost is saved for patients, and meanwhile medical insurance funds are saved.
