Abstract

UN PRIMER DISPOSITIVO DE RETRACCION TIENE UNA PRIMERA CAMARA INFLABLE (5) Y UNA CAMARA NO PRESURIZADA (13) DENTRO DE LA CAMARA PRINCIPAL. LA CAMARA NO PRESURIZADA SE EXPANDE A TRAVES DEL INFLAMIENTO DE UNA SEGUNDA CAMARA INFLABLE (25). LA CAMARA NO PRESURIZADA CAPACITA A LA CAMARA PRINCIPAL A PERMANECER INFLADA CUANDO LA ABERTURA SE CORTA EN LA CUBIERTA DE LA CAMARA PRINCIPAL, A TRAVES DE LA CUAL SE LLEVA A CABO DICHO TRATAMIENTO. UN SEGUNDO DISPOSITIVO DE RETRACCION INFLABLE TIENE UN RETRACTOR INFLABLE (103) Y UN MANTENEDOR (107). EL RETRACTOR INFLABLE RETRACTA EL ORGANO Y EL MANTENEDOR MANTIENE EL ORGANO EN SU ESTADO RETRAIDO DESPUES DE QUE EL RETRACTOR INFLABLE SE DESINFLA. EL MANTENEDOR PUEDE SER INFLABLE, Y PUEDE ESTAR DENTRO O FUERA DEL RETRACTOR INFLABLE. UN ENDOSCOPIO (201) AUTORETRACTANTE TIENE UN MONTAJE OPTICO CON UN RETRACTOR EXPANDIBLE (211) FIJADO A SU EXTREMO DISTAL. EL EXTREMO DISTAL DEL ENDOSCOPIO SE INSERTA DENTRO DEL CUERPO CON EL RETRACTOR EN UN ESTADO COLAPSADO. EL RETRACTOR LUEGO SE EXPANDE PARA RETRAER LOS ORGANOS QUE DE OTRA MANERA OBSTRUIRIAN LA VISTA DESDE EL EXTREMO DISTAL DEL MONTAJE OPTICO. DESPUES DE QUE LAS OBSERVACIONES SE COMPLETAN, EL RETRACTOR VUELVE A SU ESTADO COLAPSADO. UN TUBO DE INSERCION (234) CAPACITA A OBJETOS CILINDRICOS, COMO POR EJEMPLO DISPOSITIVOS DE RETRACCION INFLABLES EMPAQUETADOS, PARA TIRAR DE ELLOS, EN LUGAR DE PRESIONARLOS, DENTRO DEL CUERPO. LA CAMARA ADICIONAL DE UN DISPOSITIVO DE RETRACCION INFLABLE QUE TIENE DOS CAMARAS INFLABLES SE RELLENA CON UN COMPUESTO ACUOSO DE UN SOLIDO PARTICULADO EN UN LIQUIDO. EL LIQUIDO SE REMUEVE Y LA CAMARA ADICIONAL SE EVACUA PARA CONSOLIDAR EL SOLIDO PARTICULADO. ESTO INCREMENTA LA FUERZA RETRACTORA DE LA CAMARA ADICIONAL.
