Endoscope Treatment Tool With Dual-Motion Grip And Bending Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing endoscope treatment tools require complex operations involving both the grip forcep and endoscope bending to grip and lift a lesion part, complicating the procedure and increasing difficulty.
Innovation Solution
A treatment tool for an endoscope with a distal end part featuring an openable and closable grip part and a bendable part, operated by a single operating part that transmits rotation and translation through a transmitting mechanism, allowing independent control of gripping and bending operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a grip forcep and endoscope bending are used together to grip and lift a lesion part, then the lesion part can be effectively lifted, but the operation becomes complex and difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the grip forcep and bendable part into a single integrated treatment tool. The grip part and bendable part are connected such that they function as one unified device, eliminating the need for separate operations of gripping and bending. This integration allows the tool to both grip and lift the lesion part through a single operational action, thereby reducing complexity while maintaining lifting effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The treatment tool is designed to perform multiple functions within a single device. It can grip the lesion part, lift it, and potentially perform other treatment operations all through one integrated tool. The single operating part controls both the grip part and bendable part, making the tool universal for various endoscopic treatment needs while simplifying the operational procedure.
2Reliability
If multiple separate tools are used for gripping and incision, then each function can be optimized, but the overall treatment procedure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple treatment functions into a single integrated tool. The treatment tool includes a grip part for gripping, a bendable part for lifting, and can accommodate treatment tools like incision tools. This consolidation reduces the number of separate tools needed while maintaining the optimized functionality of each component through careful design of the integration mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated treatment tool is designed to be universal, capable of performing gripping, lifting, and various treatment operations including incision. The single tool can be configured for different treatment needs, reducing device complexity in the overall system while maintaining functional optimization through modular design elements.

AI summary
A treatment tool for an endoscope includes a transmitting part that transmits an operation of the operating part to a grip part of a distal end part and a bendable part. The operating part has an operating member that is rotatable and translatable. The transmitting part has a first member to which rotation and translation of the operating member are transmitted and a second member to which only the rotation of the operating member is transmitted. The grip part is closed by the translation of the first member, and the bendable part is bent by the rotation of the second member.
