Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of urological surgery technology, specifically relating to a visual catheter guidance device. Background Technology

[0002] Clinically, common treatments for difficult catheterization include urethral probe-guided catheterization, cystoscopic catheterization, and cystostomy. While urethral probes, due to their structure and rigidity, can reach the bladder through the urethra, reinsertion after removal is risky due to the lack of suitable curvature, rigidity, and guidance. Repeated urethral probing can lead to false passages and bleeding, causing pain and injury to the patient with uncertain outcomes. Cystoscopic catheterization has a high success rate but is complex and expensive, often unacceptable to patients requiring long-term catheter replacement. While cystostomy can resolve urine drainage issues, it alters physiological urination and is not preferred by most patients. Existing catheterization devices often pose risks such as bleeding and false passages due to the lack of visualization during catheterization, and also increase patient costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a visual catheter guidance device, which solves the problem that the existing catheter guidance devices cannot be visualized, thus leading to low catheterization efficiency.
