摘要

背景：用于食管静脉曲张带结扎术（EVL）的商用一次性内窥镜多带结扎器价格昂贵，令人望而却步。为了让更多人能够使用食管静脉曲张带结扎术，我们采用颠覆性创新技术开发了一种新型内窥镜多带结扎器：方法：我们利用计算机辅助设计建模设计并测试了 "ENDOhandle "手柄原型，并导出了一个盖帽、触发线和乳胶，形成了一个功能性结扎装置：捆绑装置的成本为 4.80 美元，而美国市售装置的成本则高达数百美元：颠覆性创新技术为资源匮乏的医疗环境开发出了一种廉价的结扎器。

Using disruptive innovation to design endoscopic ligators for resource-challenged health settings.

Background: Commercial single-use endoscopic multiband ligators, used for esophageal variceal band ligation (EVL), are prohibitively expensive. To enable greater access to EVL, we used disruptive innovation to develop a novel endoscopic multiband ligator.

Methods: We designed and tested a prototype handle 'ENDOhandle' using computer-aided design modeling and exported a cap, trigger cord and latex to form a functional banding unit.

Results: The cost of the banding unit was US$4.80 compared with several hundred US dollars for commercially available devices in the USA.

Conclusions: Disruptive innovation technology developed an inexpensive ligator for resource-challenged health settings.

期刊介绍： International Health is an official journal of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. It publishes original, peer-reviewed articles and reviews on all aspects of global health including the social and economic aspects of communicable and non-communicable diseases, health systems research, policy and implementation, and the evaluation of disease control programmes and healthcare delivery solutions. It aims to stimulate scientific and policy debate and provide a forum for analysis and opinion sharing for individuals and organisations engaged in all areas of global health.
