BRONCHOSCOPE ADAPTER

摘要

A bronchoscope locking mechanism includes a clamping member and a nut. The clamping member includes a threaded portion and a clamping surface that defines a compressible channel. The compressible channel is configured for communication with a tracheal tube. The nut has an inner threaded surface configured to cooperate with the threaded portion of the clamping member. The compressible channel is compressed from a first position defining a first diameter to a second position defining a second diameter when the nut is advanced over the threaded portion. The second diameter is smaller than the first diameter.

1. A bronchoscope locking mechanism comprising:
a clamping member including a threaded portion and a clamping surface, the clamping surface defining a compressible channel, the compressible channel configured for communication with a tracheal tube; and a nut having an inner threaded surface and an outer surface; the inner threaded surface configured to cooperate with the threaded portion of the clamping member, wherein the compressible channel has a first position defining first diameter and a second position defining a second diameter smaller than the first diameter, wherein as the nut is advanced over the threaded portion the nut interferes with the clamping member such that the compressible channel is moved from the first position towards the second position.
