Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to surely and easily collect desired mucus in a celom. SOLUTION: This collection device is provided with a mucus absorptive water absorber 8 at the front end of a manipulation wire 3 freely advanceably and retreatably inserted into a flexible sheath 1 to be inserted into the celom so that the mucus absorptive water absorber 8 can be projected and subtracted at need from and into the opening at the front end of the flexible sheath 1 by the advance and retreat manipulation of the manipulation wire 3. As a result, the contamination at the time of collection of the mucus may be prevented. Also, the outside diameter of the flexible sheath may be reduced and the flexibility of the flexible sheath may easily be improved.

As described above, the mucus collecting apparatus for an endoscope according to the present invention has a mucus-absorbing property at the distal end of an operation wire inserted in a flexible sheath inserted into a body cavity so as to be able to advance and retreat. A liquid is provided so that the mucus-absorbing liquid-absorbing liquid can be protruded and retracted as needed through the opening of the distal end of the flexible sheath by advancing and retracting the operation wire, thereby preventing contamination when collecting mucus. I can do things. Further, there is a special effect that the outer diameter of the flexible sheath is small and the flexibility of the flexible sheath can be easily improved.
