This invention belongs to the field of medical device technology and discloses an endoscope. The endoscope includes a serpentine joint, an instrument channel, and a camera core wire. A traction wire threading structure is provided on the serpentine joint for the traction wire to pass through. The wall thickness of the traction wire threading structure on the side facing the center of the serpentine joint is less than the wall thickness on the side away from the center of the serpentine joint. The instrument channel is disposed within the serpentine joint, forming a cavity. The axis of the instrument channel is parallel to the axis of the serpentine joint. This embodiment of the endoscope can increase the internal space of the serpentine joint while effectively reducing the outer diameter of the serpentine joint, allowing the endoscope to enter extremely narrow cavities at lesion sites, such as the digestive tract of pediatric patients or severely narrowed lesion areas. This provides opportunities for observation and treatment of these patients, increasing the product's market coverage and application scenarios.

The invention relates to a new biomarker and combination of biomarkers and to their use in screening of traumatic brain injury in paediatric patients and selecting those patients in need of a brain image technique and / or a subsequent treatment intervention. The method allows to rule out the performance of a brain imaging technique if it is determined that the patient does not have any intracranial lesion which would be detectable by means of said brain imaging technique. Particular kits and means for carrying out the methods are also disclosed.

A gas sampling assembly comprising an insert and a cuvette, and an insert for use in a cuvette, suitable for sampling respiratory gases of paediatric patients, the insert comprising a unitary insert having a hub and at least two extending members extending outwardly from the hub, the at least two extending members defining a void therebetween and the insert being located, in use, at least partially within the sampling channel, and the gas sampling cell assembly being configured such that light passing through the optical window passes into the sampling channel and through the void between the two extending members.

The invention belongs to the technical field of medical instruments, and discloses an endoscope. The endoscope comprises a snake bone joint, an instrument channel and a camera core wire. A traction wire threading structure is arranged on the snake bone joint and used for allowing a traction wire to penetrate through, and the wall thickness of the side, facing the center of the snake bone joint, of the traction wire threading structure is smaller than that of the side, away from the center of the snake bone joint, of the traction wire threading structure. The instrument channel is arranged in the snake bone joint, a cavity is formed in the instrument channel, and the axis of the instrument channel is parallel to the axis of the snake bone joint. According to the endoscope, the internal space of the snake bone joint can be enlarged, and meanwhile, the outer diameter of the snake bone joint is effectively reduced, so that the endoscope can enter extremely narrow cavities at lesion positions, such as digestive tracts of pediatric patients, seriously narrow lesion areas and the like, the opportunities for observing and treating the patients are achieved, and the endoscope is suitable for popularization and application. And the market coverage range and the application scene of the product are increased.

The present disclosure describes a prosthetic surgical heart valve for smaller patients, particularly pediatric patients. The heart valve is smaller and more flexible, and can incrementally expand to accommodate growth of the patient. The heart valves are particularly useful at pulmonary valve locations where opening and closing pressures are much lower than at other native valve locations. The heart valves are formed from a thinner and more flexible material than the aortic or mitral valve, which enables them to be opened and closed more efficiently when subjected to lower pulmonary blood flow pressures. Incremental expansion of the heart valve is achieved by a stiffener coupled to plastic expansion of the valve member.

The utility model discloses a sleeve electric fire needle which comprises a sleeve, a fire needle body is arranged in the sleeve in a sliding mode, through holes are formed in the front end and the rear end of the sleeve, the front end of the fire needle body can penetrate through the front end of the sleeve, the portion, located at the front end of the sleeve, of the fire needle body is sleeved with a spring, an opening is formed in the outer wall of the sleeve, and the fire needle body is connected with an elastic piece. One end of the elastic piece is fixedly connected to the fire needle, and the end, away from the fire needle, of the elastic piece corresponds to the opening. By arranging the sleeve, when tonsil treatment is carried out on a child patient, the whole sleeve extends into the oral cavity of the patient, at the moment, the sleeve plays a role in protecting the oral cavity of the patient, the child patient cannot be stabbed by a fire needle due to disordered movement, and when the front end of the sleeve is close to an affected part, the button is pressed down in a sliding mode, so that the patient feels comfortable. And after the treatment is finished, the elastic sheet is pressed downwards, and the fire needle is contracted back into the sleeve under the action of the elastic force of the spring and then is slowly moved out of the oral cavity of the patient.
