Chest tube insertion device using endoscopic guide
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to a chest tube insertion device using an endoscopic guide, the device having a structure comprising: a tube insertion guide body which is made from a transparent or semitransparent synthetic resin material and which is introduced into the thoracic cavity of the human body while being flexibly bendable, an endoscopic tube disposed inside the tube insertion guide body; a chest tube formed as a structure for encompassing the outer side of the tube insertion guide body, so as to be spaced from the endoscopic tube; a guide holder for performing an endoscopic guide function and a tube insertion guide body fixing function when the tube insertion guide body is inserted into the thoracic cavity; and a handle part to which the guide holder is separably coupled.
1 . A chest tube insertion device using an endoscopic guide, the chest tube insertion device comprising:
a tube insertion guide body made of a transparent or semi-transparent synthetic resin material and configured to be inserted into a thoracic cavity of a human body in a state in which the tube insertion guide body is flexibly bendable;
an endoscopic tube disposed within a first tube line formed in the tube insertion guide body;
an endoscope disposed in the endoscopic tube;
a chest tube coupled to a second tube line formed in the tube insertion guide body and separated from the first tube line in a longitudinal direction;
a guide holder configured to insert the endoscope through the tube insertion guide body positioned into the thoracic cavity and fix the inserted endoscope;
a handle part to which the guide holder is coupled;
a transparent lens coupled to an opened front end of the tube insertion guide body, wherein the transparent lens has a protruding region connected to the first tube line to which the endoscope is coupled, and an inclined region connected to the second tube line into which the chest tube is inserted; and wherein a practitioner holds, with hand, the chest tube inserted into the thoracic cavity of the human body and moves rearward the tube insertion guide body coupled to the handle part in order to remove the endoscopic tube, the endoscope, the tube insertion guide body and leave only the chest tube connected to the inside of the body, wherein the chest tube is inserted through a tube insertion groove formed at a lateral side of the second tube line.
2 . The chest tube insertion device of claim 1 ,
wherein a front side of the transparent lens comprises an inclined region, and the endoscope is removed together with the endoscopic tube and the tube insertion guide body when the endoscopic tube and the tube insertion guide body are removed.
3 . The chest tube insertion device of claim 1 , comprising:
a display part separably coupled to an upper end of the handle part, the display part being a portable smart device or a stationary monitor device.
