Questions about Overtube Technology: 1. How does the standardized shape of the gripping part improve the performance of the overtube? - The standardized shape ensures consistent gripping and insertion, leading to enhanced efficiency in medical procedures. 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits of using this overtube technology in medical settings? - The improved efficiency and safety of endoscopic procedures can lead to reduced procedure times and lower complication rates, resulting in cost savings for medical facilities.
Original Abstract Submitted
An overtube includes an overtube body and a tubular gripping part that is connected to a proximal end side of the overtube body and that has an insertion port which communicates with an insertion pipe line. In cross-sectional view that is viewed from a direction orthogonal to a central axis direction of the gripping part of the overtube, at least a part of an outer peripheral surface of the gripping part has a shape formed by standardization.
