    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology and Endoscopy
    • Medical Device Design

    Background:

    • Conventional Haslinger tubes are limited in therapeutic applications.
    • Flexible endoscopes offer air insufflation but lack the rigidity for certain procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and evaluate a new rigid esophagoscope.
    • To combine the advantages of flexible and rigid endoscopic systems.
    • To assess the scope's utility in various esophageal interventions.

    Main Methods:

    • A new rigid esophagoscope was designed based on Haslinger tubes.
    • The design incorporates air insufflation capabilities.
    • The scope's performance was evaluated in several esophageal procedures.

    Main Results:

    • The new rigid esophagoscope proved trustworthy in multiple esophageal interventions.
    • Effective use in identifying severe strictures and introducing nasogastric tubes.
    • Successful foreign body extraction, tumor coagulation, and biopsy collection were demonstrated.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel rigid esophagoscope offers a versatile and reliable tool for esophageal diagnostics and therapeutics.
    • It successfully integrates key advantages of both flexible and rigid endoscopic systems.
    • This device enhances the safety and efficacy of various esophageal procedures.
