The utility model discloses a bronchoscope's air leakage prevention negative pressure interface structure, including bronchoscope main part, the bottom of bronchoscope main part is provided with operating part, and the bottom of operating part is connected with the detection tube of checking bronchus, and the outer setting of bronchoscope main part has the connecting assembly, and the connecting assembly is provided with the suction needle cylinder of the suction of detection tube. When the bronchoscope main part cooperation detection equipment detects the bronchus of sick child, the stability of air pressure environment is very important. The device passes through the adsorption of sucking disc, and the air pressure fluctuation in subsequent suction process is effectively reduced, and the stability of air pressure environment in detection process is ensured. Meanwhile, the cooperation of positioning clamp, first spring, second connecting plate and other components realizes the firm fixing of suction needle cylinder, avoids the security risk caused by the loosening or falling of suction needle cylinder, and further improves the stability and safety of air pressure regulation.

Devices, systems, and methods for measuring the diameter of an airway in a human or animal subject are disclosed. The device comprises a flexible catheter body having a proximal end and a distal end. Flexible sizing elements are disposed along and extend approximately orthogonally from the catheter body. The sizing elements have different heights from one another and are configured to fit through the working channel of a bronchoscope. Devices, systems, and methods for redirecting airflow through a lung airway are also disclosed. The method comprises introducing into the airway a catheter comprising a distal end, a proximal end and an elongated portion therebetween, wherein the distal end comprises an airway closing mechanism, and wherein the proximal end comprises an actuator to actuate the airway closing mechanism; and actuating the airway closing mechanism to at least partially close the airway.

The invention relates to an airway lesion measurement system and method based on composite driving and modeling, the system can enter an airway through a bronchoscope to measure the diameter and length of a lesion site, and the system comprises a composite driving expansion module which comprises a pneumatic bag cavity and a shape memory alloy skeleton and is used for executing an expansion step; the self-locking anchoring module is integrated on the shape memory alloy framework and is used for executing a self-locking step; the three-dimensional dynamic modeling module comprises a sensor array and a data processing unit which are arranged on the shape memory alloy framework and is used for executing a modeling step; and the respiration synchronization module is used for receiving a respiration gating signal of the bronchoscope and controlling the three-dimensional dynamic modeling module to carry out data acquisition in a preset time window of end expiration. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages of being efficient in operation, convenient, easy to use, accurate and reliable in measurement performance, good in safety performance and the like.

This invention discloses an automated bronchoscope system for clearing airway secretions, relating to the field of automated bronchoscopy. The system includes: an endoscope image acquisition module for real-time acquisition of images of the airway lumen distal to the bronchoscope; a secretion recognition module for analyzing the airway lumen images to identify secretion targets and output their aspirability characteristics; an operation decision module for determining, based on the aspirability characteristics, whether the current secretion target is within a preset airway level where suction can be performed, and generating a suction command if the determination is positive; and a suction execution module for applying negative pressure to the secretion target through the suction channel of the bronchoscope in response to the suction command. This solution achieves precise positioning and selective suction of sputum targets within the airway, effectively avoiding the risk of aspirating airway tissue or foreign objects, and improving the success rate of clearing secretions of different characteristics.

Systems and methods involve abrading a patient lung airway wall to reduce mucus production therein. Exemplary techniques include rotationally and / or linearly oscillating an abrasive material against the airway wall so as to damage mucus producing tissues, for example by removing goblet cells, while destroying less than the entire airway wall. The abrasive material may be present on the surface of an expandable balloon body or another expandable device, which can be delivered to the patient treatment site via a bronchoscope. In some cases, the abrasion techniques can cause cell damage or death at a controlled or predetermined tissue depth.

The invention discloses a visual instrument capable of being integrated with a bronchoscope and an integrated system, and relates to the technical field of medical instruments.The visual instrument comprises a flexible catheter, an image obtaining unit, an executing mechanism and a control mechanism; the flexible catheter is used for stretching into a working clamp channel of the bronchoscope, and the far end of the flexible catheter can stretch out of an instrument outlet in the far end of the bronchoscope. The image acquisition unit is arranged at the far end and used for being in communication connection with the image processing module, and the image acquisition unit is used for acquiring tissue image information and sending the tissue image information to the image processing module; the executing mechanism is arranged at the far end head and is used for sampling or one or more of treatment; the control mechanism is connected to the near end of the flexible catheter and connected with the executing mechanism so that the action of the executing mechanism can be controlled. According to the visual instrument capable of being integrated with the bronchoscope and the integrated system, operation and treatment of entering a deeper position under direct vision are facilitated.
