Apparatus for modifying an endoscope, modified endoscope and its use in gastrointestinal endoscopy and a method for suturing a wound

摘要

A device for modifying an endoscope, comprising or consisting of a) an elongated cap (1) substantially in the form of a tube, the tube each having an opening at a proximal (3) and distal end (4) of the elongated cap ( 1) and provided with a slot (2) beginning at the distal end (4) of the elongate cap (1) and extending towards the proximal end (3) of the elongate cap (1), the elongate cap (1 ) at the distal end (4) an annular, in an interior of the cap (1) directed projection (5) and at the proximal end (3) includes an internal thread (6) and the elongated cap (1) with at least one substantially round Opening (7) is arranged between the proximal (3) and distal end (4) of the elongated cap (1) at the level of the internal thread (6); b) a bump unit (8) substantially in the form of a tube piece, the tube piece each including an opening at a proximal (9) and distal end (10) of the bump unit (8), the bumper unit (8) being fixed to the baffle (8) proximal end (9) having an external thread (11) which is screwed to the internal thread (6) of the elongated cap (1), wherein the impact unit (8) at the distal end (10) has a first annular, in an interior of the impact unit (8) directed projection (12), and at the distal end (10) has a second annular, directed into an interior of the impact unit (8) projection (13) which is disposed proximal to the first projection (12), the impact unit (8) is provided with a substantially circular opening (14) which is disposed between the proximal (9) and distal end (10) of the impact unit (8) at the level of the external thread (11); and c) a lid (15) substantially in the form of a length of tubing, the length of tubing each having an opening at a proximal (16) and distal (17) end of the lid (15), and wherein the proximal end (16 ) of the lid (15) has an annular projection (18) directed into an interior of the impact unit (8) and the proximal end (17) of the lid (15) is connected to the distal end (4) of the cap (1); characterized in that the impact unit (8) is rotatably disposed within the elongate cap (1).
