CONTINUOUS SUTURING APPARATUS FOR ENDOSCOPY AND ENDOSCOPY HAVING CONTINUOUS SUTURING FUNCTION

摘要

The present invention relates to a continuous suturing apparatus for an endoscope and an endoscope having a continuous suturing function. According to the present invention, the continuous suturing apparatus includes: a base member coupled to an end of an endoscope tube; a first suturing arm and a second suturing arm installed on the base member to be movable between a separation position at which the arms are separated and a suturing position at which the arms are approached to each other to suture an object to be sutured; a needle selectively fixed to any one of the first suturing arm and the second suturing arm when the first suturing arm and the second suturing arm move between the separation position and the suturing position; and a first trigger module and a second trigger module respectively installed on the first suturing arm and the second suturing arm to fix and release the needle. The object to be sutured is sutured such that when the first suturing arm and the second suturing arm reciprocatingly move between the separation position and the suturing position, the first trigger module and a second trigger module are alternately fix the needle. Accordingly, the continuous suturing of a cut portion may be performed at only one insertion. Also, the suturing may be completed by repeating the same operation so that an operator easily performs the suturing regardless of a size of the cut portion.
