Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of urethral dilators, in particular to a visual urethral dilator. BACKGROUND

[0002] A urethral dilator is a urological surgical instrument used to dilate the urethra to facilitate urinary catheterization or treat urethral stricture. It uses its gradually enlarged shape to gradually open the narrow area inside the urethra, relieving the difficulty in urination caused by abnormal urethral structure. The urethral dilator is usually made of stainless steel or other metal materials, which is strong, durable and has strong dilating ability, and is suitable for more stubborn urethral stricture and long-term urethral dilation, but the patient may have a strong sense of discomfort during use, and the risk of intraoperative and postoperative complications is relatively high.

[0003] The existing urethral dilator is mostly made of metal and arranged in groups, each group having multiple dilating rods with increasing diameters. During actual use, the dilating rods with different diameters need to be inserted into the patient's urethra in order, from small to large, to achieve dilation. This results in the patient's urethra being inserted multiple times with dilating rods of different diameters, causing strong discomfort during use and a long duration. Although the existing gas bag type urethral dilator does not have a visual function, it cannot visually observe the straight tube of the urethra, and the gas bag type urethral dilator is also prone to uneven expansion under pressure.

[0004] Patent No. CN115040764B discloses a "new urethral dilator, comprising: a guide wire, a ball head structure is arranged at the head end of the guide wire, the maximum diameter of the ball head structure is larger than the diameter of the guide wire; an inflatable catheter assembly, comprising a sleeve-shaped film sleeve, the film sleeve is sleeved outside the guide wire and is wound in a containing space, the front end of the film sleeve is adhered to the ball head structure, and the rear end of the film sleeve is provided with an injection port. In the present application, the middle channel structure formed after the film sleeve expands can avoid the problem of damage to the urethra caused by the original hollow dilator. It can ensure that the dilator maintains a small volume during entry and ensures the overall strength. The film sleeve is designed to change the volume structure of the dilator. After the dilator enters the human body and is positioned, the film sleeve can be expanded and dilated to maintain its structure, so that the middle channel remains open, increasing the success rate of urinary catheterization.

[0005] The above technical solution changes the volume structure of the dilator by the film sleeve, which can make the film sleeve expand and dilate after the dilator enters the human body and is positioned, maintain its structure, keep the middle channel open, and increase the success rate of urinary catheterization. However, the film sleeve is difficult to ensure uniform expansion after being pressed, and does not have a visual function. Therefore, a visual urethral dilator is proposed. SUMMARY
