ENDOSCOPE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240306898 titled 'ENDOSCOPE
The abstract describes an endoscope with a bendable portion that includes a treatment tool pipe line and a wire for bending operation. The insertion part consists of annular members with incorporated objects, such as insertion members for the wire, positioned at different circumferential locations.
- Endoscope with a bendable portion for flexibility during procedures
- Treatment tool pipe line for inserting treatment tools
- Wire for bending operation of the bendable portion
- Insertion members for the wire in the annular members
- Different positions of insertion members along the circumferential direction
- First space for treatment tool pipe line
- First and second incorporated objects for functionality
Potential Applications: - Medical procedures requiring precise and flexible endoscopic tools - Minimally invasive surgeries - Gastrointestinal examinations
Problems Solved: - Enhances maneuverability during endoscopic procedures - Allows for more precise positioning of treatment tools - Facilitates complex medical interventions
Benefits: - Improved accuracy in medical procedures - Reduced risk of damage to surrounding tissues - Enhanced patient outcomes
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Endoscopic Technology for Medical Procedures This technology can be utilized in hospitals, clinics, and surgical centers for a wide range of medical procedures, increasing efficiency and improving patient care.
Questions about Endoscopic Technology: 1. How does the bendable portion of the endoscope improve medical procedures? The bendable portion allows for better access to hard-to-reach areas within the body, enhancing the precision of medical interventions. 2. What are the key benefits of incorporating a treatment tool pipe line in the endoscope? The treatment tool pipe line enables easy insertion and manipulation of treatment tools, streamlining medical procedures.
Original Abstract Submitted
an endoscope includes: an insertion part including a bendable portion configured by connecting plural annular members, the bendable portion has plural incorporated objects including a treatment tool pipe line into which a treatment tool is to be inserted and a wire that is to perform a bending operation of the bendable portion, a pair of insertion members into which the wire is inserted are provided in the annular member to face each other, and in a state of being viewed in an axial direction of the insertion part, the insertion members included respectively in two of the annular members connected with each other are disposed at different positions along a circumferential direction of the annular member, the treatment tool pipe line is disposed in a first space as defined herein, and a first incorporated object and a second incorporated object are disposed as defined herein.
