Disposable flexible ureteroscope with renal pressure and temperature monitoring capabilities

Abstract

This invention relates to a disposable flexible ureteroscope for monitoring intrarenal pressure and temperature. It includes a housing, a flexible catheter, a control component, and an intrarenal sensing component. The housing includes an installation part and a grip part located at the bottom of the installation part and extending to the rear end. The catheter is located in the installation part and extends to the front end. The control component includes a delivery part located inside the housing and connected to the catheter, as well as an assembly part, an infusion part, and an outlet part connected to the delivery part. The intrarenal sensing component includes a circuit board located inside the housing and electrically connected to an external data display device, and a sensor located at the end of the catheter and electrically connected to the circuit board. This sensor can detect the intrarenal water temperature and pressure and transmit the data to the data display device via the circuit board, enabling the physician to operate the control component in real time to control the intrarenal water temperature and pressure within safe values.

Claims

1. A disposable flexible ureteroscope for monitoring intrarenal pressure and temperature, comprising: a housing including an installation portion and a grip portion, the grip portion being disposed at the bottom of the installation portion and extending toward the rear end of the installation portion; and a flexible catheter being disposed at the installation portion and extending toward the front end of the installation portion. A control component comprising a delivery section, a connecting section, an infusion section, and an expulsion section, wherein the delivery section is disposed inside the housing and communicates with the catheter, the connecting section is disposed at the rear end of the mounting section, the infusion section is disposed on one side of the mounting section, and the expulsion section is disposed at the rear end of the gripping section, and the connecting section, the infusion section, and the expulsion section are all communicated with the delivery section; and an intrarenal sensing component comprising a circuit board and a sensor, wherein the circuit board is disposed inside the housing and electrically connected to an external data display device, and the sensor is disposed at the end of the catheter or in a fluid channel inside the catheter and electrically connected to the circuit board for monitoring intrarenal temperature and / or pressure.

2. A disposable flexible ureteroscope for monitoring intrarenal pressure and temperature as described in claim 1, wherein, The discharge section of the control member includes a control switch and a discharge pipe. The control switch is located at the rear end of the grip section and is connected to the delivery section of the control member. The discharge pipe is located on one side of the control switch and can be controlled by the control switch to selectively connect to the delivery section.
