着脱可能なヘッドとハンドルを備えた可撓性内視鏡
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP7434614
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A flexible endoscope system is provided for use in surgical operation which includes a head part and a control handle detachably connected using first and second docking keys. The head part comprises a shaft, a flexible tip located at a distal end of the shaft, an image sensor module, and drive tendons extending in the shaft for controlling the movement of the flexible tip in multiple degrees of freedom. The control handle includes multiple motors for tensioning or relaxing the drive tendons via a capstan assembly. Control element is provided on the control handle to allow a user to trigger a complex movement of the flexible tip to form an S shape so that a bird-eye view of the surgical site can be obtained by the endoscope system. The detachable connection eliminates the need to sterilize the control handle in which the main electronic components are located.
