Differences Between Rigid Tube Endoscopes and Flexible ...

1. The appearance and shape of the rigid tube endoscopes and flexible tube endoscopes are different

&#; Rigid tube endoscope: The main body of the mirror body cannot be bent or twisted, and the depth and distance of the rigid tube endoscope entering the body are much lower than those of the flexible tube endoscope.

&#; Flexible tube endoscope: the first standard of cavity mirror with soft and flexible body.

2. The internal structure of rigid tube endoscopes and flexible tube endoscopes is different

&#; Rigid tube endoscope: According to the structure, it can be divided into straight rod non-separable tube endoscope, straight rod separable tube endoscope, curved tube non-separable tube endoscope and curved tube separable tube endoscope four categories. Various types of rigid endoscope structures generally include an outer scope tube (or sheath), a scope body, a light guide beam interface, an eye end nozzle, and an imaging interface part.

Unlike flexible tube endoscopes, some rigid tube endoscopes have no instruments and water gas channels, such as laparoscopy, thoracoscopy, mediastinoscopy, arthroscopy, etc. All kinds of operating instruments need to enter the body cavity through another incision to complete the operation under the monitoring and cooperation of rigid endoscope.

&#; Flexible tube endoscope: generally includes the following basic structures: a front end, a bending part, an insertion tube, a manipulation part, an eye receiving part and an imaging interface part. The front end part is a rigid part, and the end surface is provided with a plurality of cavities and window surfaces, which are respectively an outlet hole for water supply and air supply, an outlet hole for biopsy forceps, an objective lens and a light guide window.

The water and air supply is a common outlet. When gas is injected, the gas enters the human body cavity from this hole to expand the cavity; when water is injected, the water comes out of this hole to wash the objective lens surface and the surgical field of vision, so that the field of view is kept clear. The outlet hole of negative pressure suction and biopsy forceps is the same nozzle. When too much liquid in the cavity hinders observation, press the suction button, and the liquid can be sucked into the suction bottle through this hole. Biopsy forceps and other therapeutic instruments also enter the body cavity through this hole.

The bending part is located between the front end and the insertion tube, and is composed of many annular parts to form a coiled tube, and each pair of adjacent annular parts can move in all directions. The insertion tube is also called the mirror body or the hose part, and the inside is all kinds of pipes and wires. The operation part includes angle control knob, suction valve button, water and air supply button and biopsy tube opening. The operator can operate various buttons here to complete endoscopy and treatment.

3. The application methods of rigid tube endoscopes and flexible tube endoscopes are different

&#; Rigid tube endoscope: It mainly enters the sterile tissues and organs of the human body or enters the sterile chamber of the human body through a surgical incision, such as laparoscope, thoracoscope, arthroscope, intervertebral disc mirror, ventriculoscope, etc.

&#; Flexible tube endoscope: It mainly completes the examination, diagnosis and treatment through the natural orifices of the human body. Such as gastroscope, colonoscopy, laryngoscope, bronchoscope, etc. mainly enter the human body through the human digestive tract, respiratory tract and urinary tract.

Hysteroscopy, cystoscopy and colonoscopy all have flexible and rigid scopes.

A rigid Endoscope is a metal tube that contains a series of lenses, fiber optics, or video chips for image transmission and fiber optic bundles to deliver light. They offer the best image quality & resolution. Rigid Endoscopes are medical devices that are used in urology, gynecology, arthroscopy, endoscopic spine surgery, and ENT medical surgeries. They are large with diameters from 1 to 12 mm and are forward viewing or angled at 0-120 degrees to facilitate the vision out of the axis of the telescope and increase the FOV by rotating the instrument.

Rigid Endoscopes are used by health surgeons to look inside joints and body cavities that otherwise can only be examined by a rigid and invasive procedure. The health surgeons use the camera system to see a magnified image of the affected area. They have a convex glass lens system where the small glass lenses are differentiated by large air spaces.

Application of Rigid Endoscopes

Rigid endoscopes revolutionized the medical healthcare by being an alternative solution for long medical procedures. It has proved to be beneficial for thousands of patients around the world and has helped in various applications such as:

1. It is used for biopsy and exploration of the organs like liver, prostate pancreas, small intestines, kidney, and lymph nodes.
2. Rigid endoscopes are used for examination of the thorax and chest.
3. It is used for the detection and staging of diagnosis of cancer patients.
4. Rigid Endoscopy is also used to examine biopsies for organs like the urinary bladder, nose, and ears.

Benefits of Rigid Endoscopy 

Adopting rigid endoscopy in medical care has several advantages like-

• It is a minimally invasive process that avoids the need for large medical equipment which might result in scarring or trauma. Pursuing rigid endoscopy reduces the risk of complications and gives a faster recovery speed to the patients.
• The enhanced visualization with the correct use of rigid endoscopy provides the health surgeons with a detailed and magnified view of the target area. It improves the diagnosis and leads to better patient outcomes.
• Pursuing rigid endoscopy leads to reduced health care costs as the procedure of the surgery through rigid endoscopy is shorter and quicker. Therefore, it has become a cost-effective alternative for medical health professionals.
