In order to alleviate these symptoms, existing technologies can provide different treatment methods depending on the severity of the symptoms and the patient's condition.

[0003] A prostate stent is a medical device used to treat prostate hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is a common male disease that causes the prostate to increase in size, compressing the urethra, leading to poor urine flow and urination problems. In order to alleviate these symptoms, existing technologies can provide different treatment methods depending on the severity of the symptoms and the patient's condition.

[0004] Prostate stents can be divided into two categories according to the duration of indwelling: long-term implantation and temporary implantation. Temporary implantation is for patients with mild to moderate BPH, those with contraindications to anesthesia, those with good bladder function, non-obstructive middle lobe, high bladder neck, and those who are elderly and at high risk of surgery and whose symptoms cannot be effectively improved by oral medication.

[0005] After searching, the existing Chinese patent publication number is: CN217510654U, which provides a variable diameter prostate stent system. This patent introduces an adjuster structure so that the stent can change its own diameter through adjustment, so that one specification of stent can be used to adapt to different patients, reducing the difficulty of stocking in hospitals and reducing the cost of use for patients.

[0006] Although the above patent can adjust and change the diameter size, so that a stent of one specification can be used to adapt to different patients, the above variable diameter prostate stent system still has the following problems: the prostate stent has weak supporting force and is easy to shift.

[0007] In view of the above problems, a retrievable prostate stent is proposed to prevent displacement. Utility Model Content

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient to control and adjust the angle of the stent during placement.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution: the rear end of the push tube is grooved and a recovery line is fixed thereon.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the bracket cap is connected through the recovery line, so that the bracket can be pulled when the bracket is recovered; secondly, the push tube is fixed to prevent the push tube from falling off.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution: the bracket cap is overall in the shape of a stepped cylinder, and the inner part of the bracket cap has two cavities.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the angle of the stent during insertion is adjusted by rotating the push tube to rotate the stent cap and then rotating the stent itself.

[0021] As a further description of the above technical solution: the push tube is a non-circular cavity structure.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the push tube can be inserted into the rear cavity of the stent cap during use, and the stent cap can be pushed up to transport the stent forward. There is no fixed connection between the push tube and the stent cap, and the push tube can be pulled backward to be detached from the stent cap after the pushing is completed.

[0023] As a further description of the above technical solution: the outer diameter of the push tube is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the rear end opening of the bracket cap, and the inner diameter of the guide tube is smaller than the outer diameter of the entire bracket.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the inner diameter of the guide tube is smaller than the outer diameter of the stent, the stent is in a compressed state when placed inside the guide tube, there is no fixed connection between the push tube and the stent cap, and after the push tube is completed, it can be pulled back to separate from the stent cap.

[0034] The following will refer to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0035] In order to further understand the content of the utility model, the utility model is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The utility model discloses a recyclable prostate stent that prevents displacement, including a stent cap 5. The stent cap 5 is in the shape of a stepped cylinder. The stent cap 5 has two cavities inside. The front circular cavity is connected to the stent, and the rear non-circular cavity is connected to the push tube 9. The stent cap 5 can be rotated by rotating the push tube 9 to rotate the stent cap 5 and then the stent itself to adjust the angle of the stent when it is placed. A left support wire 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the left side of the stent cap 5, a right support wire 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the left front end of the stent cap 5, and a lower support wire 3 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the left bottom of the stent cap 5. The design of the head end support wire enables it to be easily elastically deformed during the compression and expansion of the stent. The deformable characteristics of the support wire increase the flexibility and adaptability of the stent. A fixing ring 4 is fixedly connected to the middle of the left side of the stent cap 5. The fixing ring 4 is used to be stuck in the prostatic urethra. Its tongue-like shape can fix the stent as a whole under the bladder neck to prevent the stent from shifting due to unexpected reasons during the indwelling process. The fixing ring 4 is an elastic fixing structure with a tongue-shaped structure. The connection points between the left supporting wire 1, the right supporting wire 2 and the lower supporting wire 3 are distributed in a triangular shape. The left supporting wire 1, the right supporting wire 2 and the lower supporting wire 3 are nickel-titanium memory alloy elastic wires. The left supporting wire 1, the right supporting wire 2 and the lower supporting wire 3 are twisted in pairs. The twisted structure combined with the triangular distribution can enhance the stability of the stent structure and improve safety. The left side of the top of the left supporting wire 1 and the right supporting wire 2 is provided with an inwardly concave shape 6. The inwardly concave shape 6 can bear the urethral sphincter muscle, so that it is not damaged by the expansion force of the stent, and does not affect the actual effect of the stent, protecting its muscle function from damage. The right side of the top of the left supporting wire 1 and the right supporting wire 2 is provided with a continuous wavy protrusion 7. The continuous wavy protrusion 7 can form multiple contact points and multiple pressure points, which can well guide the ischemic necrosis of the hyperplastic prostate tissue.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 A guide tube 8 is provided on the outside of the bracket cap 5. The outer diameter of the push tube 9 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the rear end opening of the bracket cap 5. The inner diameter of the guide tube 8 is smaller than the outer diameter of the entire bracket. When in use, the guide tube 8 can be inserted into the rear section of the bracket cap 5, supporting the bracket cap 5 to thereby transport the bracket forward. The push tube 9 has no fixed connection with the bracket cap 5 and can be pulled backwards to separate from the bracket cap 5 after the pushing is completed.

[0038] Reference Figure 5 A push tube 9 is arranged inside the guide tube 8, and the push tube 9 slides inside the guide tube 8 to push the stent. The push tube 9 is a non-circular cavity structure. The rear end of the push tube 9 is slotted and fixed with a recovery line. The recovery line has two main functions: one is to connect the stent cap 5 so that the stent can be pulled when the stent is recovered; the other is to fix the push tube 9 to prevent the push tube 9 from falling off. The push tube 9 is fixed by the knot at the tail end of the recovery line. The outer diameter of the knot is larger than the outer diameter of the push tube 9, which keeps the connection firm during the transportation process and helps to control and move the stent during the recovery process, so that it is not easy to loosen or fall off.

[0039] Working principle: First, check the size of the patient's prostate through ultrasound or other examination equipment, put the rigid cystoscope in the endoscope sheath and push the two together into the patient's urethra until the entrance of the bladder, keep the endoscope sheath still, and pull the cystoscope out of the endoscope sheath. Insert the guide tube 8 with the stent installed into the cystoscope sheath, and push the push tube 9 to push the stent into the endoscope sheath and slowly push it into the patient's bladder. The stent will automatically unfold in the patient's bladder. At this time, keep the stent still, pull out the endoscope sheath, and push the cystoscope again to the entrance of the bladder to observe the angle of the stent. Rotate the push tube 9 to align the stent fixing ring 4 with the patient's prostate middle lobe, and then slowly pull the push tube 9 outward to return the stent to the prostate. At this time, the three points of the stent are located at five o'clock, seven o'clock, and twelve o'clock respectively. When the stent fixing ring 4 just hits the outer wall of the bladder orifice, the stent reaches the designated position for insertion. At this time, cut the knot at the tail end of the push tube 9, pull the push tube 9 out of the urethra, and fix the recovery line to the penis with medical tape.

[0040] The stent can be removed five to seven days after implantation. During retrieval, the retrieval line fixed on the penis is inserted into a catheter of suitable diameter. The catheter is extended along the retrieval line from the external urethral opening of the penis into the body to the stent. The retrieval line is pulled hard to pull the stent into the catheter, and the stent can be removed.
