Definitions
- the invention relates to a medical endoscope referred to in the preamble of claim 1 Art.
- all tubes are formed as metal tubes. They give the endoscope considerable rigidity and protection against destruction by excessive bending.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a patient-safe medical endoscope of the type mentioned, with the higher bending forces can be achieved.
- one of the inner tubes is made of break-resistant ceramic. Since the outer tube is made of metal, the risk of splintering in an inner ceramic tube plays no role. The possibly resulting ceramic fragments can not escape through the outer metal tube to the outside. Patient safety is given. Also, an inner tube of a multi-tube construction can impart this increased strength. Of course, there is also the possibility to reduce the wall thicknesses with the same strength. This provides the first possibility to build even thinner and longer endoscopes while maintaining high patient safety and useful strength values.
- tungsten carbide is used as a ceramic tungsten carbide, which is characterized by particularly high strength values.
- the outer tube serves as a cladding tube for outer covering and sealing.
- the tube which follows the outer tube seen from the outside inwards, there is provided a fiber space, which is usually crescent-shaped in cross-section and accommodates optical fibers.
- the second tube bounds this space inside as a fiber tube.
- the fiber tube is formed of ceramic.
- the tube with the particularly high strength lies as far outside as possible, namely as the second outermost tube, resulting in particularly high strength values.
- the fiber tube is formed as a sintered molded part.
- Ceramics are particularly suitable for sintering and thus allow the simple production of geometrically highly complex shapes, as they are especially in the fiber tube in its distal end, as z. See, for example, US 5,718,664. These complex shapes in the distal end region of a fiber tube are required in particular for correct alignment of the optical fibers in this area.
- FIG. 1 is a side view of a medical endoscope according to the invention
- Fig. 2 is a section along line 2 - 2 in Fig. 1 and
- Fig. 3 is a side view of a fiber tube contained in the endoscope.
- FIG. 1 shows a side view of a medical endoscope 1 with a shaft which is enclosed on the outside by a cladding tube 2 forming the outer tube.
- a cladding tube 2 forming the outer tube.
- an end body 3 from which a fiber optic connection cable 4 and a video cable 5 depart.
- Fig. 2 shows a cross section along line 2 - 2 in Fig. 1 in a typical embodiment of a video endoscope, such. B. in DE 10 2004 023 866 B3, Fig. 1 described.
- the cladding tube 2 encloses a fiber space 6, which contains optical fibers arranged in the direction of the extension of the outer tube 2, which are connected at their proximal ends to the optical fiber connection cable 4.
- the fiber space 6 is bounded on the outside by the cladding tube 2 and on the inside by a fiber tube 7, which, calculated from the outside inwards, forms the second tube of the multi-tube construction illustrated in FIG.
- a system tube 8 of a video system is arranged, in the distal end region of an image sensor 9 is arranged, which is connected via lines not shown to the video cable 5.
- the system tube 8 is rotatably mounted relative to the fiber tube 7 and for the reasons that are explained in DE 10 2004 023 866 B3, adjustable in any angular position.
- a ring 3 ' is rotatably mounted on the end body 3, via a suitable, for. B. magnetic rotary joint rotatably drives the rotatably mounted system tube 8.
- Fig. 3 shows the distal end portion of the fiber tube 7 in side view.
- the fiber tube 7 is formed with an end face 10 matching the end face 1 1 of the medical endoscope 1, wherein the upper corner 12 is rounded and a laterally thickened portion 13 is provided with a typical bevelled edge 14. Details of this design can be found in US 5,718,664 A.
- Fig. 3 shows that the distal end portion of the fiber tube 7 is geometrically very complex. Production in machining is different for ceramics.
- the fiber tube 7 is therefore formed of sintered ceramic. The usual sintering processes make it possible to produce even very complex geometric shapes in a simple manner.
- the fiber tube 7 is made of high-strength ceramic, in particular of tungsten carbide. This gives the multi-tubular shaft of the endoscope 1 high strength, in particular high bending strength. However, this involves the risk that, if the fiber tube is overloaded and breaks, splinters arise.
- the cladding tube 8 as an outer tube is made of metal e.g. suitable stainless steel. Any resulting fragments are caught by the cladding tube, which can not splinter. This results in good patient protection.
- the system tube 8 which forms the innermost tube, again consists of metal, but may also be formed of ceramic in order to further increase the strength. It is also possible to form only this tube made of ceramic and the fiber tube 7 made of metal.
- the cladding tube 8 serves as splinter protection and must therefore always consist of metal.
