Outer sheath structure for use in endoscopes

Abstract

To provide an outer sheath structure for use with an endoscope that allows for precise and rapid intubation. [Solution] An outer sheath structure for an endoscope comprises a body for receiving an endoscope (110) and an outer sheath (120), one end of the outer sheath is connected to the body for receiving the endoscope, and the other end distal to the body for receiving the endoscope is provided with a bending angle at a fixed angle (130) to facilitate insertion of the outer sheath while rotating to facilitate intubation rapidly and precisely.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an outer sheath structure for use in an endoscope, which includes an outer sheath provided with a bending angle with a fixed angle to facilitate precise and rapid intubation. [Background technology]

[0002] It is known in the art that disinfection is necessary after endoscope use. If disinfection is not done completely, it will cause cross-infection between patients, while the processing time will be too long, causing considerable inconvenience to medical personnel. China Patent Application Publication No. 112386210 discloses a disposable protective film for use with endoscope, which surrounds the outer surface of the endoscope to isolate the endoscope body from the patient's living body to prevent direct contact and avoid repeated disinfection. However, the material and overall structure of the protective film may be somewhat soft, resulting in insufficient effect on precise and fast intubation. It is expected that further improvements will be devised to overcome these problems. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] China Patent Application Publication No. 112386210 Summary of the Invention

[0004] The objective of the present invention is to provide an outer sheath structure for use in an endoscope, which is provided with an outer sheath having a bend angle with a fixed angle to provide precise and rapid intubation.

[0005] It is a further object of the present invention to provide an outer sheath structure for use with an endoscope, the outer sheath structure having an outer sheath that partially or completely covers a body for receiving an endoscope for comfortable intubation.

[0006] The present invention relates to an outer sheath structure for use in an endoscope, the outer sheath structure comprises a body for receiving an endoscope and an outer sheath, one end of the outer sheath is connected to the body for receiving the endoscope, and the other end distal to the body for receiving the endoscope is provided with a bending angle at a fixed angle to facilitate insertion of the outer sheath while rotating to facilitate intubation rapidly and precisely, while not causing discomfort to the patient. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] 1 shows a schematic diagram of an outer sheath structure for use in an endoscope according to the present invention. [Diagram 2] 1 shows a preferred embodiment of an outer sheath according to the present invention that provides a fixed bend angle. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] As shown in FIG. 1, an outer sheath structure 100 for use in an endoscope according to the present invention comprises a main body for receiving an endoscope 110 and an outer sheath 120, one end of the outer sheath 120 is connected to the main body for receiving the endoscope, and the other end distal to the main body for receiving the endoscope 110 is provided with a bending angle at a fixed angle 130 to facilitate insertion of the outer sheath 120 while rotating to facilitate intubation rapidly and precisely, the fixed angle 130 being in the range of 120°-170°.

[0009] In the outer sheath structure 100 for use with an endoscope according to the present invention, the outer sheath 120 has a fixed bending angle 130 that bends either upward or downward.

[0010] As shown in FIG. 2, a preferred fixed angle embodiment of the fold angle 130 is 161° along the horizontal direction of the outer sheath 120 .

[0011] Additionally, an outer sheath 120 is intended to cover the body for partially or completely receiving the endoscope 110 .

[0012] Furthermore, in the outer sheath structure 100 for use in an endoscope according to the present invention, the outer sheath 120 is a soft intubation tube or a rigid intubation tube.
