PUNCTURE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240299061 titled 'PUNCTURE DEVICE
The patent application describes a puncture device that can be attached to and detached from an ultrasonic endoscope. The device includes a puncture needle and an operation part that moves the needle in an axial direction.
- The operation part consists of a gripping member interlocked with the puncture needle, a first member movable relative to the gripping member, and a restricting member that limits the distance between the two.
- The gripping member has a unique shape with pairs of first and second planes facing each other in different directions.
- The device allows for precise control and movement of the puncture needle during medical procedures.
- The design ensures stability and accuracy in puncturing tissues or organs.
- The device can enhance the efficiency and safety of procedures involving puncturing or sampling tissues.
Potential Applications: - Minimally invasive surgeries - Biopsy procedures - Endoscopic interventions
Problems Solved: - Improved precision in puncturing tissues - Enhanced control during medical procedures - Increased safety for patients
Benefits: - Accurate and controlled punctures - Minimized risk of complications - Efficient tissue sampling
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Puncture Device for Medical Procedures" This technology can be utilized in hospitals, clinics, and surgical centers for various medical procedures, potentially increasing the efficiency and safety of operations.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the unique shape of the gripping member contribute to the device's functionality? 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits of using this puncture device in medical procedures?
Original Abstract Submitted
a puncture device includes: a puncture needle; and an operation part that moves the puncture needle in an axial direction and is attachable to and detachable from an ultrasonic endoscope. the operation part includes a gripping member that is interlocked with the puncture needle and whose outer peripheral surface is exposed, a first member that is connected to the gripping member and is movable relative to the gripping member in the axial direction, and a restricting member that restricts a relative movable maximum distance between the first member and the gripping member, and the outer peripheral surface of the gripping member has a shape including a pair of first planes that are arranged in a first direction and are disposed to face each other, and a pair of second planes that are arranged in a second direction intersecting the first direction and are disposed to face each other.
