ENDOSCOPE GUIDE TUBE AND ENDOSCOPE

摘要

An endoscope guide tube includes a tube member including a live part, the tube member being constructed by including a tube body that makes up an outer layer and a braid that braids, into a tubular form, wound metal members and insulating members wound in a direction opposite to a winding direction of the metal members, a connection member provided with a first contact connecting ends of the metal members and a second contact connecting ends of the metal members, at least one of a first contact side conduction detection section that detects that the live part contacts the metal members and a second contact side conduction detection section, and a signal output section that outputs a notification signal to a notification section.

主权项

1. An endoscope guide tube comprising:
a tube member to be inserted into a device including a live part, the tube member being constructed by including a tube body made of an insulating member that makes up an outer layer and a braid that makes up an inner layer of the tube body, and braids, into a tubular form, metal members wound clockwise or counterclockwise with a plural number of carriers including a predetermined number of ends in parallel and insulating members wound with a plural number of carriers including a predetermined number of ends in a direction opposite to a winding direction of the metal members in parallel; a connection member provided with a first contact electrically connecting in a bundled manner ends of the metal members in substantially half the carriers in number of the plural metal members making up the tube member and a second contact electrically connecting in a bundled manner ends of the metal members with the remaining carriers in number of the plural metal members; and at least one of a first contact side conduction detection section that detects that the live part contacts the metal members connected to the first contact and a second contact side conduction detection section that detects that the live part contacts the metal members connected to the second contact.
