Specifically, an imaging element such as CMOS, CCD, etc., which is to be mounted on a head portion of an endoscope structure to be inserted into a body cavity, is located at the unit head portion and is to capture an image of the inside of the body cavity. The image is transmitted to an image acquisition card and a processor, then the image is output to a monitor at the doctor end by a data output device, the doctor diagnoses through the image output by the monitor, and under certain conditions, the doctor can treat the focus in the body cavity by the aid of the monitor, so that simple focus excision, sample acquisition and the like are realized.
The endoscope currently available can perform the above-described operation, and although the flexible portion can be easily inserted into a complicated curved path in a body cavity, the tip of the flexible portion is unstable and it is difficult to insert the unit in a predetermined direction, and in some cases, the endoscope needs to maintain the direction and shape at the time of insertion to perform some operations.
For example, when an endoscope used in a colon or the like is required to pass through a bending portion, it is necessary to perform overbending by a certain external force due to insufficient rigidity, and at the same time, since the endoscope is inserted into a duct portion of a body cavity while performing a certain knotting or suturing operation, a certain rigid support is required in the front portion of the endoscope in order to perform these operations, and thus a variable-rigidity structure is required to be added to the front portion of the endoscope to provide support. Meanwhile, when the colon endoscope is inserted, the looping problem can occur, and the looping problem can be improved by providing rigid support for the front end of the endoscope so as to avoid the pulling of the loop to the intestinal tract in the inserting process of the endoscope.
When operating with an endoscope, an operator needs to hold the endoscope operating handle with both hands, and at a colonoscope, a conventional endoscope needs to be operated by two persons, one person performs the operation of the operating handle of the endoscope, and the other person performs the work of inserting, fixing, rotating and the like of the flexible part of the endoscope.
