Three magnetic field generating coils on the distal end side of the shape detection probe are provided in the curvable portion, and the first coil at the leading end position is placed at the position corresponding to the leading end curvable piece, whereas the third coil at the position corresponding to the trailing end curvable piece. Further, the second coil is placed at a middle position between the leading end curvable piece and the trailing end curvable piece in the curvable portion. With this structure, the accuracy of detecting the shape of the curvable portion can be improved, and the production cost of the system as a whole can be lowered.

To realize an endoscope insertion portion and endoscope system capable of providing a significant propulsive function by reducing a friction between a propulsive force generation section and an insertion portion, an endoscope insertion portion comprising: an introductory tube as an insertion portion; a spiral tube as a propulsive force generation section mounted on an outer peripheral surface of the introductory tube and rotating around the longitudinal axis of the introductory tube; and a plurality of ring members provided on an outer peripheral surface of an elastic cover tube at predetermined intervals between an inner peripheral surface of a spiral tube and the elastic cover tube 21, as a friction reduction section positioned between the spiral tube and the outer peripheral surface of the introductory tube (elastic cover tube) and reducing a contact resistance between an outer peripheral surface of the introductory tube (elastic cover tube) and the spiral tube.
摘要:
An insertion support tool which is detachably attached to a large-intestine endoscope including an elongated inserting portion which is inserted into a lumen is provided, and an external sheath which is extendable and contractible in an inserting direction of the inserting portion and a cover member which is arranged outside the external sheath and held in a state where it covers the external sheath when the external sheath is contracted are provided to this insertion support tool.
摘要:
An endoscope includes an insertion section inserted into the body cavity and a probe provided inside the insertion section for detecting the form of the endoscope. The probe includes a plurality of coil portions arranged in the longitudinal direction of the insertion section of the endoscope and a wire electrically connecting the coil portions. The coil portions and the wire are covered with a flexible member. And the outer diameter of the covered wire is smaller than the outer diameter of the covered coil portions.
摘要:
A medical instrument of the present invention comprises a spiral shaped portion provided at an insertion portion main body, for generating a force at the insertion portion main body to advance/retreat in a subject by a contact with a body wall of the subject, a balloon provided so as to expand radially in a radial direction of the insertion portion main body and capable of contact with the body wall, a suction opening portion provided between the spiral shaped portion and the balloon in the insertion portion main body, and a suction pipeline communicating with the suction opening portion, inserted into the insertion portion main body and connected to a suction pressure controller on a rear end side of the insertion portion main body in the insertion direction.
摘要:
An endoscope according to the present invention includes an insertion portion that is inserted into a duct, an observation window provided at a distal end in the insertion direction of the insertion portion for observing the inside of the duct, a balloon provided so as to extend in a radial shape in a diametrical direction of the insertion portion with respect to the insertion portion and which contacts an inner wall of the duct to fix the insertion portion to the inner wall, and a plurality of suction holes that are provided at a position that is further on the distal end side in the insertion direction than the balloon while being closer to a proximal end side in the insertion direction than the observation window in the insertion portion and that suck in dirt removed from the inner wall by contact between the balloon and the inner wall.
