Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular, to a drug-coated balloon dilation system. Background Art

[0002] The prostate is located directly below the bladder and surrounds the urethra. It continues to grow under the influence of testosterone from puberty until old age. After the prostate hyperplasia, it will occupy the space of the urethra, easily causing urethral stricture and affecting normal urination.

[0003] Prostate hyperplasia causes the posterior urethra to elongate, be compressed and deformed, become stenotic, and increase urethral resistance, resulting in high bladder pressure and related micturition symptoms. As the bladder pressure increases, compensatory hypertrophy of the detrusor muscle, detrusor instability, and related storage symptoms occur. If the obstruction is not relieved for a long time, the detrusor muscle will lose its compensatory ability. The upper urinary tract changes secondary to prostate hyperplasia, such as hydronephrosis and renal function impairment, are mainly caused by the increased pressure in the bladder.

[0004] Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common chronic disease mainly characterized by urinary disorders in middle-aged and elderly men. Since this disease is not fatal and patients have extraordinary endurance, the number of patients seeking medical treatment is relatively small. Therefore, the update of BPH treatment technology in China is very slow.

[0005] Currently, the main treatment methods for benign prostatic hyperplasia are as follows:

[0006] 1. Drug treatment

[0007] The short-term goal of drug treatment for patients with prostate hyperplasia is to relieve the lower urinary tract symptoms of patients, and the long-term goal is to delay the clinical progression of the disease and prevent the occurrence of complications. The overall goal of drug treatment for prostate hyperplasia is to maintain a high quality of life for patients while reducing the side effects of drug treatment.

[0008] 2. Surgical treatment

[0009] Patients with prostate hyperplasia who are significantly affected in their quality of life can choose surgical treatment, especially those with poor drug treatment effects or those who refuse to accept drug treatment. Surgical treatments include: transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), transurethral holmium laser enucleation of the prostate, and open prostatectomy.

[0010] The prior art has the following technical problems:

[0011] 1. Drug treatment cannot fundamentally solve the urethral stricture caused by prostate hyperplasia and is accompanied by side effects.

[0012] 2. Prostate surgery may pose the following risks: unexpected bleeding, nerve damage, etc. may occur during the operation; complications such as difficulty in urination, urinary incontinence, urethral stricture, etc. may occur after the operation, and some patients may need to undergo another operation to solve these problems.

[0013] 3. Existing instruments for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia require the patient to be under general anesthesia during operation and need to use ultrasound to assist in positioning the instrument, which greatly prolongs the operation time. Summary of the Invention

The stent 11 adheres to the outer surface of the inner tube 10 in the contracted state, and the stent 11 is circular or elliptical in the dilated state.

[0060] Principle of expansion and contraction of the stent 11: One end of the stent 11 is fixed to the inner tube 10, and the other end is fixed to the intermediate tube 20. When the inner tube 10 remains stationary, that is, the left end of the stent 11 remains stationary, and the intermediate tube 20 is pushed forward, that is, the right end of the stent 11 moves leftward, the stent 11 will expand.

[0061] The outer sheath tube 30 is sleeved on the intermediate tube 20 and can move axially relative to the intermediate tube 20; the outer sheath tube 30 can cover the inner tube 10, the stent 11, and the entire intermediate tube 20, so as to reduce the irritation to the urethra 4 when passing through the urethra 4.

[0062] The control handle 40 is connected to the intermediate tube 20 to drive the intermediate tube 20 to move relative to the inner tube 10, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the state of the stent 11. The control handle 40 is connected to the outer sheath tube 30 to drive the outer sheath tube 30 to move relative to the intermediate tube 20, so as to release the stent 11, the first balloon 21, and the second balloon 22.

[0063] During the operation of the above solution, general anesthesia is not required for the patient, and there is no need to enter the operating room, and the treatment can be completed in the outpatient clinic; a hydrophilic coating can be covered on the outer side of the outer sheath tube 30 in the above solution, and all reciprocating movements that may rub the patient's urethra are hidden in the outer sheath tube 30, with very little irritation to the patient's urethra, reducing the discomfort of the patient, not easily damaging the patient's urethra, having fewer complications, and higher safety.

[0064] In some embodiments, the control handle 40 includes a handle housing 41, a rotary handwheel 42, a limit switch 43, a slider 44, and a transmission assembly; the transmission assembly is located within the handle housing 41, the rotary handwheel 42 is disposed outside the handle housing 41 and connected to the transmission assembly, the transmission assembly is connected to the intermediate tube 20 to drive the intermediate tube 20 to move relative to the inner tube 10, and the transmission assembly is connected to the outer sheath tube 30 to drive the outer sheath tube 30 to move relative to the intermediate tube 20; the limit switch 43 is disposed outside the handle housing 41 and connected to the slider 44, and the limit switch 43 can drive the slider 44 to move and limit the rotation of the rotary handwheel 42 through the slider 44. The rotation of the rotary handwheel 42 can drive the transmission assembly, thereby controlling the movement of the intermediate tube 20 and the outer sheath tube 30.

[0065] Specifically, the transmission assembly includes a first rack 45, a second rack 46, a third rack 47, a first gear 48, and a second gear 49; the first rack 45 is connected to the intermediate tube 20, the second rack 46 is connected to the outer sheath tube 30, the third rack 47 is fixed to the second rack 46, the first gear 48 is located between the first rack 45 and the third rack 47, the first rack 45 and the third rack 47 are driven by the first gear 48, the rotary handwheel 42 is connected to the second gear 49, and the second gear 49 meshes with the second rack 46; a limit tooth is provided at the end of the slider 44, and the slider 44 engages with the second gear 49 through the limit tooth to limit the rotation of the second gear 49, thereby limiting the rotation of the rotary handwheel 42.

[0066] In some embodiments, a handle marking line 411 is provided on the handle housing 41, and a first marking line 421 is provided on the rotary handwheel 42. When the rotary handwheel 42 rotates until the handle marking line 411 is aligned with the first marking line 421, the bracket 11 is released from the outer sheath tube 30, and the first gear 48 meshes with both the first rack 45 and the third rack 47 simultaneously.

[0067] Among them, the first gear 48 is always engaged with the first rack 45, the first gear 48 is engaged with the third rack 47 in certain states, and the second gear 49 is always engaged with the second rack 46.

[0068] Further, a second marking line 422 is provided on the rotary handwheel 42. When the rotary handwheel 42 rotates until the handle marking line 411 is aligned with the second marking line 422, the bracket 11 is squeezed into an expanded state by the intermediate tube 20 and the inner tube 10.

[0069] Further, a third marking line 423 is provided on the rotary handwheel 42. When the rotary handwheel 42 rotates until the handle marking line 411 is aligned with the third marking line 423, the first balloon 21 and the second balloon 22 are released from the outer sheath tube 30, and the first gear 48 disengages from the third rack 47.

[0070] Refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6, a plurality of card slots 414 are formed on the handle housing 41, and the plurality of card slots 414 are equally spaced along the axial direction of the inner tube 10; referring to Figure 7 , a clamping block 431 and a spring 432 are arranged on the limit switch 43; the elastic force of the spring 432 causes the clamping block 431 to be clamped into the card slot 414, so that the slider 44 cannot move; by pressing the limit switch 43 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 432, the clamping block 431 is disengaged from the card slot 414, so that the slider 44 can move.

[0071] Specifically, when the limit switch 43 is pressed, the clamping block 431 is disengaged from the card slot 414, and the pushing member 433 on the limit switch 43 is pushed, so that the front-back movement of the slider 44 can be realized.

[0072] In some embodiments, a first luer connector 412 is arranged on the handle housing 41, and the first luer connector 412 is communicated with both the first balloon 21 and the second balloon 22. The first luer connector 412 is used to convey physiological saline to the first balloon 21 and the second balloon 22, so that the first balloon 21 and the second balloon 22 expand;

[0073] Furthermore, a second luer connector 413 is arranged on the handle housing 41, and the second luer connector 413 is communicated with the inner tube 10. The second luer connector 413 is used to inject anesthetic drugs into the body through the inner tube 10.

[0074] In some embodiments, the drug-loaded balloon dilation system further includes a Y valve 50 and a flexible cystoscope 60; the Y valve 50 can be detachably connected to the second luer connector 413, and the flexible cystoscope 60 is inserted into the inner tube 10 through the Y valve 50.

[0075] In some embodiments, the first balloon 21 and the second balloon 22 are communicated. In the expanded state, the first balloon 21 is larger than the second balloon 22, and both the first balloon 21 and the second balloon 22 are drug-loaded balloons; in the expanded state, the first balloon 21 and the second balloon 22 are circular or elliptical; the surface of the outer sheath tube 30 is coated with a hydrophilic coating and anesthetic drugs.

[0076] Based on the introduction of the above embodiments, the operation method of the drug-loaded balloon dilation system in this embodiment is introduced below.

[0077] The first step: Measure the length of the prostatic urethra

[0078] Referring to Figure 8 , insert the flexible cystoscope 60 into the urethra 4, observe the position of the distal end of the flexible cystoscope in the urethra 4 under visualization. When the distal end of the flexible cystoscope reaches the bladder neck 2, make a first mark 6 on the flexible cystoscope at the penile end 5. Referring to Figure 9, move the flexible cystoscope 60 in the direction of the outside of the body, observe the position of the distal end of the flexible lens in the urethra 4 through the flexible cystoscope 60. When the distal end of the flexible lens reaches between the seminal colliculus and the external sphincter, make a second mark 7 on the flexible cystoscope at the end of the penis 5. Measure the distance between the first mark 6 and the second mark 7, which is the length of the prostatic urethra. Measure multiple times repeatedly and use this as the basis for selecting the balloon model.

[0079] Step 2:

[0080] Refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the drug-loaded balloon dilation system includes an outer sheath 30 coated with a hydrophilic coating and an anesthetic drug, an intermediate tube 20 carrying a stent 11 and a balloon, an inner tube 10, a rotating handwheel 42, a rack and pinion structure, etc.; an anesthetic drug can be injected into the body through the inner tube 10 via the second Luer connector 413; insert the flexible cystoscope tube 61 of the flexible cystoscope 60 into the inner tube 10 through the Y-valve 50. When the distal end of the flexible cystoscope reaches the distal outlet of the dilation system, lock the Y-valve 50 through the locking knob 51. At this time, the relative position of the flexible cystoscope 60 and the dilation system is fixed; insert the combined dilation system and flexible cystoscope into the urethra 4 from the urethral orifice and reach the inside of the bladder. Through real-time observation by the flexible cystoscope 60, when the distal end of the dilation system approaches the bladder wall 1, stop inserting. At this time, the state of the rack and pinion is as Figure 10 shown, the rotating handwheel 42 is connected to the second gear 49, and the second gear 49 is locked by the slider 44 and cannot rotate.

[0081] Step 3:

[0082] Refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 , keep the dilation system and the flexible cystoscope stationary, move the pusher 433 to separate the slider 44 from the second gear 49, rotate the rotating handwheel 42 counterclockwise, and the outer sheath 30 starts to move in the direction of the outside of the body. Stop rotating when the first marking line 421 aligns with the handle marking line 411. At this time, the stent 11 is released from the outer sheath 30.

[0083] Step 4:

[0084] Refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15 , continue to rotate the rotating handwheel 42 counterclockwise. Through the combined action of all the racks and pinions, at this time, the first gear 48 meshes with the first rack 45 and the third rack 47 at the same time, so that the outer sheath 30 retracts and the intermediate tube 20 advances. The tail end part of the stent 11 starts to be released from the outer sheath 30, and the stent 11 gradually expands. When the second marking line 422 aligns with the handle marking line 411, it indicates that the stent 11 is fully expanded.

[0085] Step 5:

[0086] Refer to Figure 16and Figure 17 Press the lower limit switch 43, move the pusher 433, the slider 44 catches the second gear 49, and the rotary handwheel 42 cannot rotate, and the rack and pinion structure remains fixed. The cystoscope and the dilation system are pulled outward as a whole until the pulling is blocked, and the cystoscope 60 is used for auxiliary observation, indicating that the stent 11 is located at the bladder outlet at this time. At this time, the first balloon 21 and the second balloon 22 reach the prostate 3 position.

[0087] Sixth step:

[0088] Refer to Figure 18 and Figure 19 Keep the system as a whole stationary, separate the slider 44 and the second gear 49 through the pusher 433, rotate the rotary handwheel 42, and the outer sheath tube 30 continues to be withdrawn backward. During the rotation of the rotary handwheel 42, the intermediate tube 20 remains stationary, that is, the shape of the stent 11 will not be affected. When the third marking line 423 aligns with the handle marking line 41, it indicates that the first balloon 21 and the second balloon 22 are completely released from the outer sheath tube 30. Lock the second gear 49 to restrict the rotation of the rotary handwheel 42. The purpose of releasing the first balloon 21 and the second balloon 22 from the outer sheath tube 30 last is that the surface of the outer sheath tube 30 is coated with a hydrophilic coating, and the outer sheath tube 30 is allowed to move back and forth in the urethra as much as possible. Therefore, in the fourth step, when the dilation system is pulled outward as a whole, because the first balloon 21 and the second balloon 22 are inside the outer sheath tube 30, the stimulation to the urethra is very small.

[0089] Seventh step:

[0090] Refer to Figure 20 Keep the system stationary, inject normal saline through the first Luer connector 412 to expand the first balloon 21 and the second balloon 22, complete the dilation of the urethral stricture segment caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia, and release the drug coated on the balloon surface into the tissue to complete the treatment.

[0091] Eighth step:

[0092] Control the contraction of the first balloon 21 and the second balloon 22, push the pusher 433 to separate the slider 44 from the second gear 49, rotate the rotary handwheel 42 clockwise, the outer sheath tube 30 advances. When the second marking line 422 aligns with the handle marking line 411, it indicates that the first balloon 21 and the second balloon 22 are retracted into the sheath tube 30. Push the whole instrument inward, and observe in real time with the cystoscope 60. Continue to rotate the rotary handwheel 42 clockwise, the stent 11 begins to contract, the outer sheath tube 30 continues to advance, and the stent 11 gradually retracts into the outer sheath tube 30. When the rotary handwheel 42 cannot continue to rotate clockwise, it indicates that the stent 11 is completely retracted into the outer sheath tube 30. Withdraw the dilation system as a whole from the urethra, and the treatment is over.

[0093] In summary, the drug-loaded balloon dilatation system in this embodiment does not require the use of other auxiliary positioning equipment, such as ultrasound, etc. The doctor can treat the patient according to the positioning function of the system and the assistance of the cystoscope; this embodiment can observe the position of the instrument in the human body in real time through the cystoscope. This embodiment is very convenient to operate. The doctor only needs to turn the rotating handwheel to complete multiple treatment steps, and there is a limit switch to prevent misoperation caused by turning the rotating handwheel. This embodiment uses the bracket for positioning, which is more accurate and can prevent the doctor from moving the instrument during use.
