INSERTION ASSISTING TOOL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240293010 titled 'INSERTION ASSISTING TOOL
The abstract describes an overtube with a tubular gripping part connected to the overtube body, featuring an insertion port that communicates with an insertion pipeline. The gripping part has a standardized shape on at least a part of its outer peripheral surface when viewed in cross-section orthogonal to its central axis direction.
- The overtube includes a tubular gripping part connected to the overtube body.
- The gripping part has an insertion port that communicates with an insertion pipeline.
- The outer peripheral surface of the gripping part has a standardized shape in cross-section view.
- The standardized shape is visible when viewed from a direction orthogonal to the central axis direction of the gripping part.
- This innovation aims to improve the functionality and efficiency of overtubes used in medical procedures.
Potential Applications: - Endoscopic procedures - Minimally invasive surgeries - Gastrointestinal interventions
Problems Solved: - Enhanced control and maneuverability during procedures - Improved insertion and navigation through the body's cavities

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.
