Abstract

The present invention relates to a medical apparatus, in particular, a mother-baby endoscope system consisting of hard mother-hysteroscope and flexible baby-falloposcope which comprises a hard mother-hysteroscope system and a flexible baby-falloposcope system. The hard mother-hysteroscope system comprises a hard hysteroscope and a sheathing canal of the hysteroscope. The flexible baby-falloposcope system is a flexible falloposcope which comprises a flexible front end and a liquid channel. At least one instrument channel is provided in the endoscope body of the hard hysteroscope such that the flexible front end of the flexible falloposcope can be place thereinto. The mother-baby endoscope system not only can be used to treat the lesions in uterine cavity, but also observe the lesions in oviduct, thereby it extends the using scope of hysteroscope in gynecological surgery and improves the accuracy of examination and treatment.

Claims

1. A mother-baby endoscope system consisting of hard mother-hysteroscope and flexible baby-falloposcope, wherein said system comprises a hard mother-hysteroscope system and a flexible baby-falloposcope system;

Said hard mother-hysteroscope system comprises a hard hysteroscope and a sheathing canal connected with the hysteroscope, and the hard hysteroscope comprises an endoscope body, an instrument channel connected with the endoscope body, an input port of an ocular, an input port of cold light source, an endoscope front end arranged at the front of the endoscope body and an apex part of the endoscope, and the sheathing canal for the hysteroscope comprises a sheathing canal body, a water inlet channel and a water outlet channel connected with the sheathing canal body, and a sheathing canal front end arranged at the front of the sheathing canal body;

The flexible baby-falloposcope system is a flexible falloposcope which comprises a flexible front end and a liquid channel, at least one instrument channel is provided in the endoscope body of the hard hysteroscope such that the flexible front end of the flexible falloposcope can be placed thereinto.

2. The mother-baby endoscope system of claim 1, wherein the diameter of the instrument channel is less than or equal to 3.5 mm.
