Catheter apparatus and operating method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to a catheter apparatus and an operating method thereof. The catheter apparatus includes a replaceable module, a main body portion and a sensing module. The main body portion includes a tube, a urine guide opening and an elastic unit. The replaceable module includes a control unit. A first terminal of the tube is coupled to the replaceable module and a second terminal of the tube is inserted into the bladder. The urine guide opening is disposed at the second terminal of the tube and used to guide urine into the tube when the second terminal of the tube is inserted into the bladder. The elastic unit is disposed at the second terminal of the tube and coupled to the control unit. The sensing module is coupled to the control unit and used to sense whether the second terminal of the tube is inserted to the correct position in the bladder and transmit sensing result to the control unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a catheter, in particular to a catheter device and its operating method. Background technique [0002] Generally speaking, catheter devices are used to assist patients to drain urine from the body. The operating principle is usually that the operator inserts a sterile urinary catheter into the patient's bladder, and the balloon is inflated in the bladder so that it does not slip out of the bladder. Then, the operator manually operates the Aspirator pump to pump air, so that the urine in the bladder can be smoothly discharged into the urine storage bag outside the body through the catheter, thereby achieving maintenance, cleaning and maintenance. Drying, prevention of wound infection, or bladder decompression before and after surgery. [0003] However, there are still many shortcomings in the actual use of the catheter device currently used, which need to be overcome urgently. For example, when the urinary catheter is...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, there are still many shortcomings in the actual use of the catheter device currently used, which need to be overcome urgently.

For example, when the urinary catheter is inserted into the patient's bladder, the operator cannot immediately know whether the urinary catheter has been properly inserted into the correct position in the patient's bladder, so the operator is likely to fail when the urinary catheter is not in the correct position. Inflating the balloon and starting the suction pump too early will not only make the patient feel uncomfortable, but also the effect of catheterization will not be good; in addition, because the patient may be in different positions such as standing, sitting or sleeping during catheterization. However, when the known catheter device inflates the balloon, it will not adjust the size of the balloon inflation correspondingly according to the different postures of the patient, so even if the size of the balloon inflation is fixed, but when the patient is in the There may be significant pain in certain positions
