Description
"CENTRAL ÓPTICA PARA VISUALIZAÇÃO DIRETA DE IMAGEM EM INSTRUMENTO PARA ENDOSCOPIA" "OPTICAL CENTER FOR DIRECT IMAGE VIEWING IN ENDOSCOPY INSTRUMENT"
Trata a presente solicitação de Patente de Invenção de uma inédita "CENTRAL ÓPTICA PARA VISUALIZAÇÃO DIRETA DE IMAGEM EM INSTRUMENTO PARA ENDOSCOPIA" especialmente de uma central portátil construída em corpo prismático hermeticamente lacrado, com destaque para a visualização do procedimento endoscopico diretamente na tela da câmera cuja fonte de alimentação também supre de energia o foco de luz do instrumento utilizado no procedimento facilmente acoplado em um conector frontal à central, possibilitando ao médico total controle nos movimentos sem pontos cegos, além de promover maior conforto ao paciente. It is the present patent application for an unpublished "OPTICAL CENTER FOR DIRECT VIEWING OF ENDOSCOPY INSTRUMENTS" especially of a portable control panel built in hermetically sealed prismatic body, highlighting the visualization of the endoscopic procedure directly on the camera screen. Power supply also supplies the light source of the instrument used in the procedure easily coupled in a front connector to the central, allowing the physician full control in movements without blind spots, and promote greater patient comfort.
O dispositivo de visualização direta de imagem em instrumentos para endoscopia, como, por exemplo, endoscópio e cistoscópio, apresenta como campo de aplicação a área médica voltada para diagnóstico, tratamento cirúrgico, complementação terapêutica e propedêutica. The direct image visualization device in instruments for endoscopy, such as endoscope and cystoscope, has as its field of application the medical area focused on diagnosis, surgical treatment, therapeutic and propaedeutic complementation.
Atualmente para os procedimentos convencionais como os supracitados utiliza-se uma base com equipamentos ente eles câmeras de diversos tipos e fontes de iluminação devidamente acopladas ao instrumento, câmera essa com zoom digital e processador na base do monitor. Currently for conventional procedures such as the above, a base is used with equipment between them cameras of various types and light sources properly coupled to the instrument, this camera with digital zoom and processor at the base of the monitor.
A maioria das fontes de iluminação (xênon e outras lâmpadas) são alimentadas junto a base do monitor e por meio de um cabo de fibra óptica envia a luz até o instrumento, assim também é com a câmera de vídeo, pois o cabo sai da base do processador de vídeo e se acopla também na ocular do instrumento propriamente dito.
Esse tipo de procedimento convencional apresenta grandes inconvenientes operacionais, pois necessitam de armário para posicionar a base do processador de vídeo, cabo de captação da imagem da câmera e cabos diversos com o monitor, o que dificulta a visualização emergencial direta do instrumento se necessário, até porque a câmera é hermeticamente conectada ao instrumento por sua vez isolado em capa estéril. Dessa forma, a imagem capturada é transmitida no monitor que consta na base, e se o profissional necessitar de visualizar emergencialmente no visor do instrumento, deve desacoplar o cabo de imagem e romper a capa estéril sem possibilidade de retornar o cabo uma vez contaminado. Most light sources (xenon and other lamps) are powered near the base of the monitor and through a fiber optic cable sends light to the instrument, as well as with the camcorder as the cable exits from the base. the video processor and also attaches to the eyepiece of the instrument itself. This type of conventional procedure has major operational drawbacks, as they require a cabinet to position the video processor base, camera image capture cable, and miscellaneous cables with the monitor, making it difficult to view the instrument directly as needed, until necessary. because the camera is hermetically connected to the instrument in turn isolated in sterile cover. In this way, the captured image is transmitted on the monitor on the base, and if the professional needs emergency viewing on the instrument's display, they should decouple the image cable and break the sterile cover without being able to return the cable once contaminated.
Outro ponto negativo do método convencional é que as fontes de luz necessitam de cabo de fibra óptica para acoplar ao endoscópio e as vezes a distância do armário pode tracionar o cabo e frequentemente o profissional se depara com intercorrências do ato endoscópico que momentaneamente é interrompido por desconexão do cabo da fonte de luz, e também, devido a sua carga podem interferir mecanicamente impedindo a crucial visão em alguns ângulos do procedimento médico. Another downside of the conventional method is that light sources need fiber optic cable to attach to the endoscope and sometimes the distance from the cabinet can pull the cable and often the professional encounters complications from the endoscopic act that is momentarily interrupted by disconnection. of the light source cable, and also, due to their charge may interfere mechanically preventing the crucial view at some angles of the medical procedure.
A rigidez imposta pelo calibre e quantidade de cabos é limitante para perfeita visualização da área trabalhada dificultando ou mesmo impedindo algumas manobras adequadas, como, por exemplo, em acessos genitais, onde há necessidade de se posicionar entre as pernas dos pacientes, principalmente naqueles com dificuldades motoras nos membros inferiores. The rigidity imposed by the caliber and number of cables is limiting for perfect visualization of the worked area, hindering or even preventing some proper maneuvers, such as in genital access, where there is a need to position itself between the patients legs, especially in those with difficulties. lower limbs.
Com isso, o fabricante mais cauteloso aos aspectos tecnológicos e inovador que produz um equipamento compacto capaz de proporcionar facilidade para manusear o instrumento e com visão direta da imagem na câmera, em conformidade com o foco desse pedido de privilégio, tem ganhado espaço na
medicina, que busca incessantemente técnicas modernas, práticas e eficientes.As a result, the most technology-conscious and innovative manufacturer that produces compact equipment capable of handling the instrument with direct view of the camera image, in accordance with the focus of this privilege request, has gained ground in medicine, which constantly seeks modern, practical and efficient techniques.
O atual estado da técnica antecipa alguns documentos de patentes que versam sobre a matéria em apreço, como o Também faz parte do estado da técnica o PI 0203304-6 "Aperfeiçoamento Introduzido em Aparelho Endoscópico Flexível e no seu Processo de Montagem". Fundamentado na divisão conceituai do endoscópio em tubo de inserção, caixa de passagem com comando de movimentos, tubo de conexão e conector - incorpora um bloco de conexões rápidas. A caixa de passagem aloja em seu interior o bloco de conexões rápidas, no qual são conectados os dutos oriundos do tubo de inserção e do tubo de conexão. Por esta caixa de passagem, passam livremente o cabo de fibra óptica e o cabo do sensor de imagem provenientes do tubo de inserção em direção ao conector através do tubo de conexão. O processo de montagem do equipamento é efetuado através da ligação dos cabos de movimentos à unidade mecânica de acionamento dos movimentos e seus respectivos ajustes, introdução do tubo de inserção pela janela, passando pelo interior de uma bucha alojada na saída da dita caixa de passagem, ligação dos dutos instalados no tubo de inserção ao bloco de conexões rápidas. The current state of the art anticipates some patent documents dealing with the subject matter, such as PI 0203304-6 "Improvement Introduced in Flexible Endoscopic Apparatus and its Assembly Process". Based on the conceptual division of the endoscope into insertion tube, movement control junction box, connection tube and connector - incorporates a quick connect block. The junction box houses inside it the quick connection block, to which the ducts coming from the insertion tube and the connection tube are connected. Through this junction box, the fiber optic cable and the image sensor cable run freely from the insertion tube towards the connector through the connection tube. The equipment assembly process is carried out by connecting the movement cables to the mechanical movement drive unit and its adjustments, inserting the insertion tube through the window, passing through the inside of a bushing housed in the outlet of said junction box, connecting the ducts installed in the insertion tube to the quick connect block.
O documento acima corrobora os limitantes citados entre eles a necessidade de armário para posicionar a base do processador de vídeo com o monitor, cabo de captação da câmera e cabo de fonte de luz, o que acaba por impedir a visualização emergencial direto do endoscópico se necessário, pois a câmera é hermeticamente conectada ao cistoscópio e ainda possui capa estéril o que incorre em mais um obstáculo pra acesso emergencial ao visor do cistoscópio. The above document corroborates the constraints cited among them the need for a cabinet to position the video processor base with the monitor, camera pickup cable, and light source cable, which ultimately prevents direct emergency viewing of the endoscope if necessary. as the camera is hermetically connected to the cystoscope and still has a sterile cover which incurs one more obstacle for emergency access to the cystoscope display.
Outro fator negativo é quando se necessita de realizar algumas manobras para perfeita visualização, principalmente para acessos genitais onde há a necessidade de se posicionar entre as pernas dos pacientes, e com isso, há limites
nos casos de idosos e\ou deficientes com limitações de movimentos dos membros inferiores e os cabos da câmera e fonte de luz impede esses movimentos devido a sua robustez e restrição ao tamanho. Another negative factor is when it is necessary to perform some maneuvers for perfect visualization, especially for genital accesses where there is a need to position itself between the patients' legs, and with this, there are limits. In the case of the elderly and / or disabled with limb movement limitations, the camera cables and light source prevent such movements due to their robustness and size restriction.
