Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a flexible ureteroscope. Background Technology
[0002] Flexible ureteroscopy for treating urinary tract stones offers several advantages over percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), as the flexible endoscope allows direct access to the renal pelvis and calyces via the urethra. This results in less trauma, fewer complications, and avoidance of risks such as kidney damage and bleeding. For kidney stones smaller than 2 cm in diameter, flexible ureteroscopy is a significantly better option. As a novel lithotripsy and stone removal instrument, flexible ureteroscopy is increasingly widely used in clinical practice.
[0003] The existing flexible ureteroscope has only one working channel, which has certain limitations in practical use and cannot meet clinical needs well. For example, when it is necessary to infuse normal saline, maintain a clear field of vision and surgical space, it is not possible to insert a stone retrieval basket to grab stones at the same time. Therefore, a flexible ureteroscope is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide a flexible ureteroscope that improves operational convenience and solves the problem of the single working channel of existing flexible ureteroscopes.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a flexible ureteroscope, comprising a handle shell, a connector rotatably connected to one end of the handle shell, an endoscope sleeve fixedly connected to the outside of the connector, a first channel tube fixedly connected to the other end of the handle shell, the end of the first channel tube communicating with a first sheath channel, the first sheath channel being disposed inside the handle shell, a connecting block fixedly connected inside the handle shell, one end of the first sheath channel being inserted into the inside of the connecting block, a second channel tube fixedly connected inside the handle shell, one end of the second channel tube being inserted into the connecting block, a second sheath channel fixedly connected inside the connecting block, the second sheath channel communicating with the second channel tube and the first sheath channel, one end of the second sheath channel being inserted into the inside of the endoscope sleeve.
[0007] Preferably, a knob is installed inside the handle housing, and a push rod is rotatably connected to the outside of the handle housing, with one end of the push rod fixedly connected to the knob.
[0008] Preferably, the knob is externally fixedly connected to two control lines, and both ends of the two control lines are fixedly connected to both ends of the endpiece sleeve.
[0009] Preferably, a partition is fixedly connected inside the handle housing, and a first positioning plate and a second positioning plate are installed on the partition, with the control line passing through the control line and the second positioning plate.
[0010] Preferably, a mounting plate is fixedly connected inside the handle shell, a circuit board is mounted on the mounting plate, a lens assembly is mounted outside the lens sleeve, the lens assembly is electrically connected to the circuit board, a fixing block is fixedly connected outside the handle shell, a data cable is fixedly connected outside the fixing block, and the data cable is electrically connected to the circuit board.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] This invention, by setting up a first channel tube and a second channel tube, allows the sheath tube to enter the second channel tube after passing through either the first or second channel tube, thereby entering the endoscope cannula and exiting from the end of the endoscope cannula. This better meets the needs of clinical treatment. While maintaining a clear field of vision and surgical space through the infusion of normal saline, the other channel is used for surgical operations, ensuring a clear surgical field of vision, avoiding tissue damage caused by blurred vision, improving operational convenience, and solving the problem of the single working channel of existing flexible ureteroscopes.
