[0023] Example:

[0024] Figure 1 It is a curved hysteroscope. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the silicone working end and the handle end. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a sleeve, including a silicone working end 1 and a handle end 3 connected to the rear end of the silicone working end 1. The silicone working end 1 is bendable, and the silicone working end 1 is also fitted with a sleeve 5. The sleeve 5 includes a rubber segment 51 and a thin film sleeve 52. The end face of the rubber segment 51 is provided with a camera 6 and an LED light 7. The thin film sleeve 52 can be fitted onto the silicone working end 1.

[0025] This invention features a working end made of silicone, which can be bent freely and adapted to different patients' conditions. The silicone is soft and elastic, making it easy to insert into the patient's body. A sleeve is included, which is fitted over the silicone working end. After use, the sleeve can be removed for disinfection or discarded, and the silicone working end can be reused.

[0026] The silicone working end 1 includes a thin segment 11 and a thick segment 12. The thin segment 11 and the thick segment 12 are integrally formed and smoothly connected. The thin segment 11 and the thick segment 12 can extend into the film sleeve 52. The thin segment 11 can be connected to the adhesive segment 51, and the thick segment 12 is connected to the handle end 3.

[0027] This invention sets the silicone working end into two sections of different thicknesses. The thinner section is easier to insert into the patient's body and reduces discomfort, while the thicker section provides stronger support and connection, making it easier for medical staff to control.

[0028] The end of the thin segment 11 is provided with a protrusion 13, and the inner end of the adhesive segment 51 is provided with a groove 53. The protrusion 13 can be embedded in the groove 53. The protrusion 13 is provided with a docking hole 4. The inner end of the adhesive segment 51 is provided with a docking post 54, and the docking post 54 can be inserted into the docking hole 4.

[0029] This utility model features protrusions and grooves to facilitate the connection of thin segments and rubber segments. In addition, positioning blocks (not shown) can be set on the protrusions, and positioning holes (not shown) can be opened in the grooves. The positioning blocks and positioning holes correspond to each other and can be aligned to facilitate the accurate insertion of the docking post 54 into the docking hole 4 to achieve electrical connection. The docking post 54 is connected to the camera 6 and the LED light by wires or optical fibers. The docking hole 4 is connected to the control host (not shown) of the handle end 3 by wires or optical fibers, so that the host can control the camera and LED light and capture the camera image.

[0030] The adhesive segment 51 and the film sleeve 52 are integrally formed. The film sleeve 52 has a first segment and a second segment. The diameter of the first segment matches the diameter of the thin segment 11, and the diameter of the second segment matches the diameter of the thick segment 12.

[0031] This invention features an adhesive segment 51 for mounting a camera and LED, serving as a carrier that can enter the patient's body. The film sleeve 52 is a thin-film structure, with its front end integrally connected to the adhesive segment 51 and its rear end open. The film sleeve 52 is a flexible structure, facilitating the insertion of the thin segment 11 and the thick segment 12.

[0032] The adhesive segment 51 and the film sleeve 52 can be made of silicone or latex materials, etc.

[0033] The length of the rubber segment 51 is much smaller than the length of the thin segment, making it easy to bend along with the thin segment and convenient to use.

[0034] Common models of cameras and LED lights are sufficient. The camera is used to capture images inside the uterine cavity, and the LED lights are used for illumination.

[0035] The sleeve 5 is provided with a removable disposable film 2 to prevent the sleeve 5 from getting dirty.

[0036] The handle end 3 includes a cuboid body 31, with a retaining ring 32 at the front end of the body 31. The outer side of the retaining ring 32 is connected to the thick section 12, and a handle 34 is provided at the rear end of the body 31. A recess is provided on one side of the body 31, and a display screen 33 is provided in the recess.

[0037] This utility model features a handle for easy gripping by medical staff, a retaining ring 32 to ensure that the film sleeve 52 is fully positioned on the silicone working end 1, a cuboid main body 31 for easy installation of the display screen, a main unit (not shown) inside the main body 31, the main unit is electrically connected to the display screen, camera, and LED (cable not shown), and a button (not shown) is also provided.

[0038] Working principle:

[0039] Insert the silicone working end 1 into the sleeve 5, peel off the disposable film 2, and it is ready for use.

[0040] Since both the silicone working end 1 and the sleeve 5 are flexible structures, they can be bent according to different patients and adapt to different examination situations. Medical staff can operate them by hand.

[0041] After inspection, remove sleeve 5, disinfect or discard it, and reuse the silicone working end 1.

[0042] One silicone working end 1 can be matched with different sleeves 5. The electrical connection is completed after the mating post and mating hole are inserted, which facilitates the reuse of silicone working end 1.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
