Publication number: 20210298579Abstract: Provided is an overtube capable of suppressing closing of a ventilation hole provided in an overtube body during endoscopy. An overtube (10) of the present invention includes an overtube body (70) and a balloon (78) that is disposed between a first position (P1) in a direction of a central axis (A) of the overtube body (70) and a second position (P2) positioned on a proximal end (74) side of the overtube body (70) from the first position (P1). The overtube body (70) is provided with a ventilation hole (94) that allows an outer circumferential surface (70A) and an endoscope insertion passage (71) to communicate with each other. The ventilation hole (94) is provided in a ventilation hole-formed region (70D) provided on the proximal end (74) side from the second position (P2). The ventilation hole-formed region (70D) is in a region within a range of 5 mm or more and 100 mm or less from the second position (P2) toward the proximal end (74) side of the overtube body (70).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2021Publication date: September 30, 2021Applicants: FUJIFILM Corporation, SRJ CorporationInventors: Motohiko MATSUSHITA, Hironori YAMAMOTO

Patent number: 7909755Abstract: The endoscope applicator according to the present invention allows lubricant to be supplied uniformly to the entire inner surface of the endoscope applicator without increasing the diameter of the endoscope applicator because the lubricant supply path is laid on the outer surface of the endoscope applicator extending from the base end portion to the tip portion of the endoscope applicator and a plurality of openings are formed in the lubricant supply path and endoscope applicator at predetermined intervals in such a way that their opening areas of the opening increase from the base end portion to the tip portion. Moreover, the endoscope apparatus according to the present invention can improve the maneuverability of the insert portion and applicator during pull-in operation. Furthermore, the endoscope apparatus according to the present invention makes it possible to determine pull-out force quantitatively.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2005Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignees: Fujifilm Corporation, SRJ CorporationInventor: Hiromu Itoi

Patent number: 7678044Abstract: A first balloon is fitted to an insertion portion of an endoscope and a second balloon is fitted to an insertion aid member. An end connector of a tube is connected to a balloon control device that supplies and sucks air into and from the first balloon and the second balloon. A duct that communicates with the first balloon, a duct that communicates with the second balloon, and a duct that communicates with a clearance between the insertion portion and the insertion aid member are formed in the end connector.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2005Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignees: Fujifilm Corporation, SRJ CorporationInventor: Tetsuya Fujikura

Patent number: 7591782Abstract: A balloon attaching jig is constituted by a ring member and a pair of nail members. After the insertion of the pair of nail members into an attaching hole of a balloon, the leading end of an insertion portion of an endoscope is pushed into an opening of the ring member. The diameter of the pair of nail members is expanded by a pushing-in force of the leading end of the insertion portion generated during this pushing in. As a result of this, the leading end of the insertion portion is inserted into the attaching hole of the balloon and hence the balloon can be easily attached to the leading end of the insertion portion of the endoscope.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2004Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignees: Fujinon Corporation, SRJ CorporationInventor: Tetsuya Fujikura
