AI Technical Summary
Existing amnioscopes do not have an illumination structure and require an external fiber optic machine for illumination, which is inconvenient to operate.
A disposable amniocentesis with illumination was designed. It uses an outer tube and a matching block made of transparent plastic material, and has built-in LED beads and a battery to achieve self-illumination. The light is controlled by connecting the plastic insert to the button battery.
It emits light independently without the need for a fiber optic generator, making operation more convenient and improving ease of use.
