Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, specifically to an intrauterine contraceptive device placement mirror that facilitates observation. Background Technology

[0002] In modern gynecological clinical practice, intrauterine devices (IUDs) are widely used due to their high efficiency, long-lasting effect, and reversible contraception. In most cases, IUD insertion is achieved using a specially designed inserter that effectively delivers the IUD into the uterine cavity. However, for certain populations, such as patients with anatomical abnormalities, a history of uterine perforation, or other complications, conventional insertion methods may not be suitable. In these cases, hysteroscopy is necessary for more precise and safer IUD placement. Hysteroscopy not only provides a direct visualization environment but also allows for immediate intrauterine examination and management when needed, making it an important option for these patients.

[0003] Existing hysteroscopes used for inserting intrauterine devices (IUDs) typically have an inflation structure on their surface. The main function of this structure is to effectively seal the distending fluid within the cervix during the procedure, maintaining a clear view and reducing irritation to surrounding tissues. However, most hysteroscopes on the market currently have a fixed sealing structure, which presents several inconveniences in practice. First, the fixed sealing structure restricts the hysteroscope's movement within the patient's body, increasing the difficulty of the procedure. Second, during the procedure, the fixed sealing structure may cause additional discomfort to the patient due to hysteroscopy movement, even leading to pain or injury. Furthermore, poor sealing may result in distending fluid leakage, affecting the surgeon's observation of the uterine cavity and thus reducing the success rate and safety of the surgery. Therefore, developing a new type of hysteroscope that can ensure good sealing while maintaining the flexibility of hysteroscopic operation and patient comfort is of significant clinical importance. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] An intrauterine device placement endoscope for easy observation, characterized in that it comprises:

[0006] The main body of the hysteroscope includes a control end and an insertion tube located at the control end;

[0007] An adjustable occlusion device includes a fixed connector disposed on the surface of the insertion tube of the hysteroscope body, an inflatable occlusion device disposed outside the fixed connector, and an elastic occlusion device disposed between the fixed connector and the inflatable occlusion device.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0009] Furthermore, the inflatable sealing part includes an inflatable ring with an internal cavity and an inflatable head disposed on the surface of the inflatable ring. The inflatable ring can be inflated with gas through the inflatable head, and the elastic sealing member is connected to the inner ring of the inflatable ring.

[0010] Furthermore, the control end is provided with a connecting tube adapted to the insertion tube, and the fixed connector is in the form of a tubular structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixed connector has a threaded hole inside for inserting the connecting tube and the insertion tube, and the surfaces of the connecting tube and the insertion tube have threads that are compatible with the threaded hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the elastic sealing component is entirely composed of elastic rubber, and the surface of the elastic sealing component has several folds. When the air ring is not inflated, the elastic sealing component can provide a pulling force to the air ring to move towards the fixed connector.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer surface of the inflatable ring is provided with several anti-slip textures.

[0014] Furthermore, the inflatable ring has a circular structure on its front side after being fully inflated.

[0015] Furthermore, the surface of the inflation ring is provided with an inflation bladder that communicates with the inside of the inflation ring, and the inflation head is located on the surface of the inflation bladder.

[0016] Beneficial effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model, through its adjustable sealing part, can block the cervical opening while simultaneously allowing the hysteroscope body to move freely within the center of the inflatable sealing part. After ensuring that the cervical opening is blocked by the inflatable sealing part and the elastic sealing part, the operator can still allow the hysteroscope body to move freely during the placement of the IUD due to the elasticity of the elastic sealing part and the pleated structure on its surface. This facilitates observation from multiple angles. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Please see Figure 1-5 An intrauterine device placement endoscope for easy observation includes a hysteroscope body 1 and an adjustable occlusion part 2 disposed on the hysteroscope body 1.

[0032] The hysteroscope body 1 is a common hysteroscope structure, which includes a control end 11 and an insertion tube 12 located at the control end 11.

[0033] The adjustable sealing part 2 includes a fixed connector 21 disposed on the surface of the insertion tube 12 of the hysteroscope body 1, an inflation sealing part 22 disposed outside the fixed connector, and an elastic sealing part 23 disposed between the fixed connector and the inflation sealing part 22. Specifically, the inflation sealing part 22 includes an inflation ring 221 with an internal cavity and an inflation head 222 disposed on the surface of the inflation ring 221. The inflation ring 221 can be inflated with gas by the inflation head 222. The elastic sealing part 23 is connected to the inner ring of the inflation ring 221.

[0034] Due to the setting of the elastic sealing element 23, the uterine opening can be blocked through the inflatable sealing part 22 while the hysteroscope body 1 can still move freely in the center of the inflatable sealing part 22, which is convenient for the operator to observe.

[0035] Meanwhile, the control end 11 is provided with a connecting tube adapted to the insertion tube 12. The fixed connector 21 is in the form of a tubular structure. The fixed connector 21 has a threaded hole inside for the connecting tube and the insertion tube 12 to be inserted. The connecting tube and the insertion tube 12 have threads on their surfaces that are adapted to the threaded hole. The operator can replace the adjustable sealing part 2 by removing the connecting tube and the insertion tube 12 from the fixed connector 21.

[0036] Furthermore, the elastic sealing member 23 is made entirely of elastic rubber, and the surface of the elastic sealing member 23 has several folds. When the air ring 221 is not inflated, the elastic sealing member 23 can provide a pulling force to the air ring 221 in the direction of the fixed connector 21.

[0037] In some embodiments, considering the anti-slip properties of the air ring 221 and its sealing properties to the cervix, the outer surface of the air ring 221 is provided with several anti-slip textures, and the front of the air ring 221 is circular after being fully inflated.

[0038] To ensure that the inflation head 222 does not come into contact with the patient's body after the inflation ring 221 is inflated, as shown in the figure, the surface of the inflation ring 221 is provided with an inflation bladder 223 that communicates with the inflation ring 221, and the inflation head 222 is located on the surface of the inflation bladder 223.
