Problems solved by technology

[0003] Although the above-mentioned electrospinning method is convenient to prepare the catheter, it needs to use organic solvents, and the residual solvent will cause allergic reactions or even toxicity after implantation.
Freeze-drying after the aqueous solution is poured into the mold also has the disadvantages of long time consumption and low efficiency
Although 3D printing may not use solvents, it is difficult to use smaller diameter nozzles to achieve continuous printing, and the production efficiency is low
The process of melt extrusion into tube can have the advantages of high efficiency and easy size control. However, the processing limit of the outer diameter of the inner die of the tube in the industry is at least 0.4mm. The catheter of this specification is still too thick for nerve repair and needs to be processed. Thinner tubes and / or more microscopic orientation structures on the tubes can effectively induce the regeneration and repair of nerve cells

Embodiment 1

[0034] Example 1: Preparation of Bundle Structure I for Nerve Repair

[0035] Specifically include the following steps:

[0036] 1. Preparation of Hydrogel Precursor Solution

[0037] Firstly, the water-soluble chitosan is made into a 2.5% (w / v) concentration solution, and the NHS-PCLPEG5000PCL-NHS is made into a 20 (w / v)% concentration solution.

[0038] 2. Preparation of hollow fiber with secondary orientation structure

[0039] 2.1 Select PCL (Mn=80,000) with elongation at break as the raw material, and extrude it on a pipe making machine to obtain a tubular product with an outer diameter of 0.6 mm and a wall thickness of 0.2 mm.

[0040] 2.2 Insert a 0.1mm-diameter 316L stainless steel wire into the middle of a tubular object of a certain length, apply a traction force on both ends of the tubular object in opposite directions, and perform "cold drawing" on the tubular object. "Cold drawing" causes the diameter of the tubular object to shrink and the thickness Thin until...

[0047] Example 2: Preparation of Bundle Structure II for Nerve Repair

[0048] Specifically include the following steps:

[0049] 1. Preparation of Hydrogel Precursor Solution

[0050] First, the water-soluble chitosan was made into a 2.5% (w / v) concentration solution, and the NHS-PCLPEG5000PCL-NHS (Mn=7000) was made into a 20 (w / v)% concentration solution.

[0051] 2. Preparation of hollow fiber with secondary orientation structure

[0052] 2.1 Select a blend of four-arm branched PCL (Mn=76,000) and PCL-poly (L-lysine) as a raw material, and extrude it on a tube machine to obtain a tube with an outer diameter of 0.6 mm and a wall thickness of 0.2 mm.

[0053] 2.2 Insert a 0.2mm-diameter 316L stainless steel wire into the middle of a tubular object of a certain length, apply reverse traction force at both ends of the tubular object, and perform "cold drawing" on the tubular object. "Cold drawing" makes the tubular object begin to shrink in diameter and change in thickness. ...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing a hollow fiber catheter for repairing nerves and the bundling structure of the hollow fiber catheter. The method includes: preparing a tube with the innerdiameter not smaller than 0.3mm in a mixed material which contains at least one biodegradable polymer with the elongation at break being 300-1000%; inserting rigid fibers into the tube, and then applying traction force to two ends of the tube at normal temperature and normal pressure until the tube tightly wrap the rigid fibers; removing the rigid fibers to obtain the hollow fiber catheter; usingammonia plasma to perform surface treatment on the hollow fiber catheter; using biodegradable hydrogel to adhere at least two surface-treated hollow fiber catheters into a bundle to obtain the bundling structure for repairing nerves. The method has the advantages that hollow fibers of different specifications can be fast and accurately prepared, solvent use can be avoided, and the prepared bundling structure has a microscopic orientation structure.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of biomedical materials, in particular to a method for preparing a hollow fiber conduit for nerve repair and a bundled structure thereof. Background technique [0002] Due to the inhibitory environment of nerve regeneration after central nervous system injury, there is currently no effective clinical treatment, which causes great physical and psychological burdens on patients and their families. Synthesizing nerve conduits with specific materials and implanting them in damaged sites to induce regeneration of nerve cells is currently an effective way to repair central nervous system injuries. Among the materials for synthetic nerve repair catheters, the first generation of non-degradable materials is represented by silica gel. Although the silicone tube can show a good recovery effect on nerve sensation and movement in a short period of time, it cannot exchange substances with the outside world, nor can it be used by t...
