摘要:
A distal end hood (60) for an endoscope configured to be mounted on a distal end portion (42) of an endoscope (10) including an observation window (46), and a distal end surface (44) of the distal end portion (42) on which an opening (50, 54) is formed, the opening (50, 54) configured to spray a feed gas, the distal end hood (60) for an endoscope characterized by comprising a conduit (62, 66) including: a first end portion on which a first opening is formed, the first opening being fitted together by insertion with an opening of the distal end surface of the distal end portion of the endoscope and being connectable to the opening; and a second end portion on which a second opening (68) is formed, the second opening being disposed at a position away from the distal end surface toward a proximal end side of the endoscope.

Provided is an endoscope (10) including: a hand operation section (12); an insertion section (14) including a leading end part (42), a curving part (40), and a flexible part (38) that are placed in the stated order from a leading end side to a base end side on which the hand operation section (12) is placed, the leading end part (42) having a leading end surface (44) on which an observation window for observing an inside of a subject's body is provided, the curving part (40) being remotely operated for curving by operating the hand operation section (12) so as to cause the leading end part (42) to face a desired direction, the flexible part (38) connecting the curving part (40) with the hand operation section (12) and being able to curve in a desired direction along an insertion into the subject's body; a gas supply channel formed inside of the insertion section (14); and a gas jetting port (54, 64, 68) that is communicated with the gas supply channel, and is placed so as to be closer to the base end side than the leading end surface (44) on which the observation window (46) is provided. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent bubbles generated near the gas jetting port (54, 64, 68) from blocking the field of view of the observation window (46) when a constant-pressure gas is supplied via an opening formed on a leading end surface (44) of a flexible endoscope (10), to thereby secure the field of view.

To prevent excitation light output from an output end of a light guiding portion causing damage to the eye when the light guiding portion which guides the special light output from a light source is detached from the insertion portion. Provided is an endoscope apparatus including: an insertion portion that is inserted into a body so as to irradiate special light to a subject observation portion inside the body and receives light output from the subject observation portion by the irradiation of the special light; and a light guiding portion that is optically connected to the insertion portion and guides the special light output from a light source to the insertion portion, wherein an output end for the special light in the light guiding portion is equipped with a diffusing portion that diffuses the special light guided by the light guiding portion.

Provided is an attachment for an endoscope (40), the attachment being attached to a leading end part of the endoscope having a leading end surface on which an observation window (46) for observing an inside of a subject's body and a first opening (50) for jetting a constant-pressure supplied gas are formed, the attachment including: a second opening (66, 76) provided at a position separate from the leading end surface; a pipe conduit (62, 72) that communicates the first opening and the second opening with each other so as to jet the constant-pressure supplied gas from the second opening; and a region separating member (60, 70) that separates a jetting region of the constant-pressure supplied gas jetted from the second opening from a region of view of the observation window. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent generated bubbles from blocking the field of view of an observation window when a constant-pressure gas is supplied via an opening of a treatment tool channel formed on a leading end surface of a flexible endoscope, to thereby secure the field of view.

An anastomotic instrument (4) includes first and second units (21, 22). The first unit (21) is attached to a distal end portion (5a) of an insert section (5) of an endoscope (3), and has a self-propellable apparatus (30) and an anvil (31). The second unit (22) is attached behind the first unit (21), and has a cartridge (71) and a balloon (72). The insert section (5) with the anastomotic instrument (4) is inserted into the alimentary canal (90). In the alimentary canal (90), fluid is sucked out from space enclosed by the first and second unit (21, 22) through a suction port (83a) provided in the cartridge (71), to bring the space into negative pressure. While the alimentary canal (90) is shrunk in the space, the second unit (22) is shifted relative to the first unit (21). In a state where the shrunk alimentary canal (90) is caught between the first and second units (21, 22), a cutter (80) resects living body tissue (91), and staples (79) are struck to join edges of an incision of the alimentary canal (90).
摘要:
Setting ratio between projection range of excitation light and projection range of white light to a desired predetermined value while maintaining sufficient biological surface illuminance for both the white light and excitation light. A light source apparatus includes a first light source (52) for emitting first light (e.g., excitation light) which is inputted to a light guide section (LG) that guides light to an examination area and projects the light onto the examination area and a second light source (50) for emitting second light (e.g., white light) which is inputted to the light guide (LG) in which exit angles of the first and second light are changed simultaneously by an exit angle changing section (57), the first and second light being guided by the light guide section (LG) and projected onto the examination area.

Provided is an optical connector including: an SI-type light source side optical fiber which is disposed on the light source side and an SI-type light receiving side optical fiber which is disposed on the light receiving side. Both optical fibers are optically coupled to each other by disposing an end surface of the light source side optical fiber and an end surface of the light receiving side optical fiber so as to face each other. The light source side optical fiber and the receiving side optical fiber are attachable to and detachable from each other. The light source side optical fiber includes a taper portion in which the diameter of the core portion increases toward the end surface of the light source side optical fiber.
