Device for treating spinal damage using with cerebrospinal fluid dialysis

Abstract

The invention discloses a device for remedying the spinal cord injury by cerebrospinal fluid dialysis, including a dialyzer, a charging pump, a storing pool and a manual cerebrospinal fluid storing chamber. One end of the dialyzer is connected with the cerebrospinal fluid for dialysis by a fluid getting and guiding needle, and another end of the dialyzer is connected with the storing pool by the charging pump. The storing pool is connected with the cerebrospinal fluid for dialysis by a transfusing and guiding needle. The manual cerebrospinal fluid storing chamber is arranged between the storing pool and the transfusing and guiding needle. The invention removes a plurality of ingoing cell components and corrects and restores the unbalanced balance of acid, alkali and electrolyte and eliminating accumulated inflammatory mediators by flushing and dialyzing towards the cerebrospinal fluid by dint of the treatment principle of blood purification, at the same time the invention preserves the biological active matter inside the cerebrospinal fluid furthest, which has protective and restoring function towards the brain and spinal cord injuries, and the invention finally realizes that the brain and spinal cord injuries are reduced and the recovery of nerve tissue is promoted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a treatment device for spinal cord injury (SCI), in particular to a device for treating spinal cord injury with cerebrospinal fluid dialysis. Background technique [0002] The treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI) is a world problem that plagues clinical practice today. With the rapid increase of traffic accidents, SCI patients are also increasing rapidly, becoming a common disease. There are currently 300,000 SCI patients in the United States, with an average of 11,000 new cases each year. On average, a new spinal cord injury patient is added every 30 minutes in my country. SCI patients have a serious loss of labor force, which brings serious losses to the whole society and family. Therefore, it is of great significance to find an effective treatment method for spinal cord injury and promote the recovery of nerve tissue function. [0003] In the past, it was believed that the central nervous tissue could not regenerate aft...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, there is still a lack of effective treatment measures related to it in clinical practice.

[0010] At present, there are many reports on the treatment of SCI, but few people pay attention to the maintenance of the homeostasis of the microenvironment for the growth of the spinal cord.

The cerebrospinal fluid is an important substance to maintain this homeostasis. The release of various toxic factors after spinal cord injury will aggravate the original damage, which is not conducive to the recovery of neurological function.

Although puncture drainage and drug lavage of cerebrospinal fluid have been used to treat spinal cord injury and have achieved certain curative effects, so far there is no instrument for cerebrospinal fluid dialysis to treat SCI.
