Bronchial prosthesis insertion system with endoscope dimensions prosthesis pusher channel to accept endoscope end for monitoring prosthesis insertion by inter-tube pressure applied by emerging prosthesis.

摘要

The cylindrical axial channel of the tubular prosthesis pusher (40) has proximal end (43) and distal ends and is so dimensioned to accept the distal end part of an endoscope (50). The introductive ejection of the prosthesis is thus monitored by the endoscope and is effected by the pressure exerted by the distal end of the pusher tube (41) on the proximal end of the semi-stiff prosthesis (60) previously inserted in the distal end of the prosthesis holder (30) tube. In addition to this monitored control, it also becomes possible to position the prosthesis in the bronchial or respiratory tubes of the patient. The thickness of the tube forming the distal end of the pusher (40) is identical to that of the cylindrical tube of the semi-stiff prosthesis arranged in the distal end of the holder (30) tube for facilitated prosthesis ejection.
