10 results about "Duodenoscopes" patented technology

Flexible endoscopes designed for direct insertion through the mouth in the upper gastrointestinal tract for visual examination, biopsy, and treating lesions of the interior of the proximal portion of the small intestine from pylorus to the jejunum (i.e., duodenum). Duodenoscopes usually consist of a flexible outer sheath, a lighting system, and a working channel for catheters and operative devices.

Tube sheath and endoscope system

ActiveCN119908638BGuide needlesSurgeryAnatomyCommon bile duct dilatation
The present application relates to the technical field of endoscopy, and particularly discloses a tube sheath and an endoscope system, the tube sheath comprising a tube sheath body, the tube sheath body having an axially-through first channel, and a second channel radially penetrating the tube sheath body and communicating with the first channel being arranged at the distal end of the tube sheath body; in the above scheme, in the insertion stage of the tube sheath body, the endoscope can clearly see the tissue structure and obstacles in front through the first channel, improving the visibility of the insertion process and reducing the risk of blind insertion, and after the tube sheath body reaches the target position, the endoscope can be retracted so that the front end thereof is located at the communication position of the first channel and the second channel, and then the endoscope is operated so that the front end thereof is bent and inserted into the second channel, based on the guiding effect of the second channel on the front end of the endoscope, so that the endoscope can accurately enter the common bile duct from the side of the tube sheath body, thereby avoiding the dependence of the endoscope on the duodenoscope when exploring the common bile duct, and reducing the cost.

Periscope device for forward viewing with a duodenoscope

Disclosed herein is a periscope device to provide forward viewing with a duodenoscope. The periscope device includes an elongated body and a deployment mechanism. The elongated body has a proximal end and a distal end. A folding axis of the elongated body defines an elongated section and a folding section of the elongated body. The folding section is located at the distal end of the elongated body and includes a mirror attached to an outer surface. The deployment mechanism is connected to the proximal end of the elongated body and is configured to cause the folding section to rotate about the folding axis at an angle of rotation with respect to the elongated section of the elongated body.

A machine vision-based duodenoscope reprocessing detection method

This invention discloses a machine vision-based method for detecting contaminant residues after duodenoscope reprocessing, specifically in the field of machine vision, to address the problem of accurately locating and removing contaminant residues after existing duodenoscope reprocessing. The method involves applying controlled incident angle, wavelength, and polarization state light perturbations to the outer surface and inner lumen of the duodenoscope, acquiring image sequences under perturbation, and extracting temporal brightness response features of pixel blocks. Brightness difference residuals and consistency weights are calculated at different incident angles to identify candidate abnormal regions and generate a difference map reflecting their response characteristics to a clean baseline. The difference map is segmented, analyzed for connectivity, and clustered. Combining three-dimensional coordinate continuity and surface normal consistency, the three-dimensional spatial boundary of the suspected contamination area is delineated. Within this range, directional cleaning and retesting are performed, with repeated detection until the contamination area disappears, achieving high-precision detection and efficient cleaning.

Valve seal for an endoscope

Endoscopes (e.g., duodenoscopes) include dual-fluid valves for controlling the flow of water and air through a flexible tubular probe to flush or inflate the patient's lumen, respectively. Some examples of these dual-fluid valves include flexible valve seals that allow air to flow in one direction but not in the opposite direction. Different examples of these valve seals include features such as: a set of overlapping flexible flaps arranged in a spiral; a rubber disc with a cross-shaped array of perforations that opens in response to a positive pressure differential across the disc; an elastically expandable cone with multiple concentric ridges; a valve core surrounded by an elastic tubular member capable of radial expansion to open an air passage within the valve core; and an elastic tube that bulges radially outward when compressed or otherwise shortened to block the annular air passage.

Return mechanisms for endoscope suction valves

A suction valve for an endoscope (e.g., a duodenoscope) includes a valve housing, a valve spool, and a return mechanism for returning the valve spool from a manually depressed position to a home position. In the depressed position, the suction valve places the endoscope in a suction configuration for drawing fluids, tissue or other matter out from within a patient. The home position places the endoscope in a vented configuration to interrupt the suction. Various examples of the return mechanism include a resilient integral portion of the valve spool, a resilient integral portion of the valve housing, a resiliently flexible diaphragm extending radially across an annular gap between the valve spool and the valve housing, and a magnetic set affixed to the valve spool and the valve housing.
