Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to a medical catheter. Background Art
[0002] Medical catheters are common insertable medical devices. They can be divided into urinary catheters, hemostatic catheters, hysterography catheters, etc. according to their uses. Medical catheters can discharge the fluid accumulated in the patient's body to the outside of the body, and can also deliver drugs or insert other slender instruments into the patient's body. The materials of medical catheters mainly include latex, natural rubber, polyvinyl chloride, silicone, etc. The structure of the medical catheter includes a tube body and multiple joints sealed with the tube body. The tube body is provided with multiple independent channels, and each channel corresponds to a joint connected thereto. The main structure of existing medical catheters is generally composed of a tube body and a joint. The following takes a tube body with two independent channels as an example, combined with Figure 37 The production process is described in detail as follows: first, a tube body 2 with two independent channels is manufactured by an extrusion process, and a certain length of the tube body 2 is cut. The mold core includes a first mold core 93 and a second mold core 94, and the mold includes a lower mold 91 and an upper mold 92. The first mold core 93 and the second mold core 94 are respectively inserted into each channel of the tube body 2, and then the first mold core 93 and the second mold core 94 are placed in the lower mold cavity 911 of the lower mold 91, and the upper mold 92 is combined with the lower mold 91. The lower mold cavity 911 and the upper mold cavity 921 form a mold cavity for forming a joint. Rubber or other polymer materials are injected into the mold cavity through the through hole 96 of the upper mold 92 by high temperature and high pressure, and the rubber or other polymer materials fill the gap in the mold cavity. After the joint is formed, the upper mold 92 and the lower mold 91 are separated, and the first mold core 93 and the second mold core 94 are removed from the lower mold 91, and the first mold core 93 and the second mold core 94 are removed from the tube body 2, that is, a joint sealed and connected to the tube body 2 is formed, thereby manufacturing a medical catheter.
[0003] The production process of medical catheters of existing structures has the following defects:
[0004] First, since the diameter of each independent channel of the tube body 2 is small, workers need to spend a lot of time to align the mold core and insert it into each independent channel. When the number of channels is large or the channel diameter is small, workers may need a magnifying glass and a special jig to insert more mold cores into the corresponding independent channels of the tube body 2. This production process greatly increases the production time and is inefficient. In addition, since the tube body 2 is made of elastic material and cannot be positioned, automated production cannot be achieved, resulting in a high cost of finished medical catheters. In actual production measurements, a worker has an effective working time of 10 hours a day and can produce at most 1,500 medical catheters with existing structures, and the qualified rate of finished products is about 90%;
[0005] Second, there is a reverse buckle position between the mold core and the joint. After the joint is formed, it is very difficult to disassemble the joint from the mold core, and it may damage the structure of the medical catheter. Workers need to spend a lot of time and energy to carefully disassemble the joint from the mold core. The production process has a long production time, low production efficiency, and low yield rate.
[0006] Third, due to the many processes in the production process, there are many quality problems caused by human factors, so the number of inspectors and the workload need to be increased, which increases the production cost. Summary of the Invention

[0076] The following further describes the embodiments of the present invention in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0077] As Figures 1 to 36 shown, a medical catheter includes a joint assembly 1 and a pipe body 2. The joint assembly 1 has at least three joints. The joint assembly 1 includes a first joint 11, a second joint 12, and a third joint 13. One end of the pipe body 2 is hermetically connected to the third joint 13 and partially extends into the first joint 11 and is hermetically connected to the first joint 11. A first channel 2a1 communicating with the first joint 11 is provided on the pipe body 2. A second channel 2a2 is also provided on the pipe body 2. A first communication structure 3 for communicating the second channel 2a2 with the second joint 12 is provided between the second channel 2a2 and the second joint 12. A first plugging member 51 for plugging the channel opening is provided at one end of the second channel 2a2 extending into the joint assembly 1. A sealing structure 6 for hermetically connecting the joint assembly 1 and the pipe body 2 and separating the inner cavities of the multiple joints of the joint assembly 1 from each other is provided between the joint assembly 1 and the pipe body 2. The joint assembly 1, the pipe body 2, and the sealing structure 6 are of a split structure. The joint assembly 1 is an integrally formed integral structure, and the pipe body 2 is an integrally formed integral structure.
[0078] Specifically, the joint assembly 1 has at least three joints. The joint assembly 1 is an integrally formed integral structure, and the tube body 2 is an integrally formed integral structure. At least two channels are provided in the tube body 2, and each channel is independent of each other in the tube body 2 and does not communicate with each other. After the tube body 2 is connected to one of the joints in the joint assembly 1, the respective channels of the tube body 2 are respectively in one-to-one correspondence and communication with the remaining joints of the joint assembly 1. When the joint assembly 1 has three joints, the joint assembly 1 has a "T" shape or a "Y" shape structure. The sealing structure 6 can be an integrally formed integral structure, or the sealing structure 6 can be an adhesive.
[0079] The tube body 2, the joint assembly 1 and the sealing structure 6 are separate structures and can be batch-produced separately during production. Batch production can greatly reduce the production cost. During assembly, the sealing structure 6 can easily seal and connect the tube body 2 and the joint assembly 1 together. After the two are sealed and connected, the respective joints on the joint assembly 1 can communicate with the corresponding channels on the tube body 2, and there will be no interference between the connected joints and channels. The tube body 2 and the joint assembly 1 can also be assembled using automated equipment when assembling into a medical catheter. The structure of the present invention is simple, and the degree of automated production is high. In actual production measurement, a worker's effective working time in a day is 10 hours, and at most 12,000 medical catheters of the present invention can be produced, and the qualified rate is close to 100%. The present invention greatly improves the production efficiency, well reduces the production cost, has strong practicability, and the economic benefit is outstanding.
[0080] A limiting structure 18 for restricting the sealing structure 6 from detaching from the joint assembly 1 is provided at the interface end of the third joint 13. After the tube body 2 and the joint assembly 1 are assembled, the use of the limiting structure 18 can well prevent the sealing structure 6 from falling off the joint assembly 1 when the medical catheter is pulled. The sealing structure 6 is firmly fixed between the tube body 2 and the joint assembly 1. The structure of the present invention is simpler, and the assembled medical catheter has strong stability, which can reduce medical risks.
[0081] Such as Figure 17As shown, in this embodiment, the first connection structure 3 includes a first opening 2b1 of the pipe body 2 formed on the outer pipe wall of the pipe body 2 and communicating with the second channel 2a2. The sealing structure 6 includes an upper sealing ring 611 for sealingly connecting the pipe body 2 and the first joint 11. The sealing structure 6 further includes a lower sealing ring 612 for sealingly connecting the pipe body 2 and the third joint 13. The upper sealing ring 611 and the lower sealing ring 612 are spaced apart to form a communication space 6a5 connecting the first opening 2b1 of the pipe body and the second joint 12. The sealing structure 6 includes a plurality of first outward convex ribs 6d1 disposed between the upper sealing ring 611 and the first joint 11 to seal and connect the two. The sealing structure 6 further includes a plurality of second outward convex ribs 6d2 disposed between the lower sealing ring 612 and the third joint 13 to seal and connect the two. The first outward convex rib 6d1 and the upper sealing ring 611 are an integrally formed integral structure. The second outward convex rib 6d2 and the lower sealing ring 612 are an integrally formed integral structure. The upper sealing ring 611 is located at the upper end of the first opening 2b1 of the pipe body. The lower sealing ring 612 is located at the lower end of the first opening 2b1 of the pipe body. The upper sealing ring 611 and the lower sealing ring 612 are spaced apart, and the gap between the two can communicate the first opening 2b1 of the pipe body and the second joint 12. The structure of the present invention is simpler, the assembly is more convenient and reliable, and the sealing and leakage prevention are more reliable.
[0082] In another embodiment, the sealing structure 6 includes a sealing ring 61. The first communication structure 3 includes a first opening 2b1 of the pipe body formed on the outer pipe wall of the pipe body 2 and communicating with the second channel 2a2. The first communication structure 3 further includes a first opening 6a1 of the sealing ring formed on the side wall of the sealing ring 61 and communicating with the first opening 2b1 of the pipe body and the second joint 12 respectively. The upper end of the sealing ring 61 seals and connects the pipe body 2 with the first joint 11, and the lower end of the sealing ring 61 seals and connects the pipe body 2 with the third joint 13. During mass production, the pipe body 2 is mass-produced by an extrusion process, and pipe bodies 2 with different outer diameters and different numbers of channels can be produced. Then, the pipe body 2 with a corresponding length is cut according to the needs of the medical catheter. At the same time, the joint assembly 1 can be mass-produced. The pipe bodies 2 with different numbers of channels are matched with the joint assemblies 1 with corresponding numbers of joints. Since the joint assembly 1 is produced uniformly, the specifications of the third joint 13 will not change. In order to achieve a sealed connection between the pipe bodies 2 of different specifications and the joint assembly 1 of a unified specification, it is necessary to mass-produce the sealing ring 61 separately. The inner diameter of the sealing ring 61 matches the outer diameter of the pipe body 2, and the outer diameter of the sealing ring 61 is larger than the inner diameters of the third joint 13 and the first joint 11. During assembly production, after aligning the first opening 2b1 of the pipe body and the first opening 6a1 of the sealing ring, the inner ring surface of the sealing ring 61 and the outer pipe wall of the pipe body 2 are sealed and connected by an adhesive. Then, after aligning the first opening 6a1 of the sealing ring and the second joint 12, the sealing ring 61 is inserted into the joint assembly 1, and the sealing ring 61 and the joint assembly 1 are in interference fit for sealed connection.
[0083] When the number of channels of the pipe body 2 and the number of joints of the joint assembly 1 are determined, according to production requirements, the outer diameter specifications of the pipe body 2 will be different, but the size of the third joint 13 of the mass-produced joint assembly 1 remains unchanged. At this time, only the sealing ring 61 matching the specification of the pipe body 2 needs to be produced, and there is no need to produce the joint assembly 1 with different specifications of the third joint 13. The cost saved by mass-producing the joint assembly 1 of the same specification is greater than the cost generated by producing the sealing rings 61 with different inner diameter specifications, and the assembly cost of assembling the pipe body 2, the joint assembly 1 and the sealing ring 61 is less than the injection molding cost of injection molding the joint assembly 1 on the pipe body 2. The mass production cost of the present invention is lower, the assembly is simpler and more convenient, the production efficiency of the standardized mode is higher, and the quality stability of the assembled medical catheter is high.
[0084] The sealing structure 6 includes a plurality of first external ribs 6d1 disposed between the sealing ring 61 and the first joint 11 and sealingly connecting the two. The sealing structure 6 also includes a plurality of second external ribs 6d2 disposed between the sealing ring 61 and the third joint 13 and sealingly connecting the two. The first opening 6a1 of the sealing ring is located between the first external rib 6d1 and the second external rib 6d2. The first external rib 6d1 or the second external rib 6d2 and the sealing ring 61 are an integral structure formed in one piece. Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 15 , Figure 20 , Figure 21 As shown, the first outer convex rib 6d1 and the second outer convex rib 6d2 are annular convex ribs, which can also achieve a better sealing effect. The first outer convex rib 6d1 and the second outer convex rib 6d2 are respectively integrally formed with the sealing ring 61. After the sealing ring 61 and the joint assembly 1 are interference fitted together, the first outer convex rib 6d1 and the second outer convex rib 6d2 will press the inner wall of the joint assembly 1, so that the connection between the sealing ring 61 and the joint assembly 1 is tighter and the sealing is better. There is no conduction between the inner cavities of the joints in the joint assembly 1, the structure is simpler, and the quality stability of the assembled medical catheter is higher.
[0085] The first connecting structure 3 includes a first inner groove 6c1 disposed on the inner surface of the sealing ring 61 and connected to the first opening 6a1 of the sealing ring and the first opening 2b1 of the tube body. Figure 10 , Figure 12 , Figure 14 , Figure 15 , Figures 19 to 21 As shown, the first inner groove 6c1 is arranged on the inner ring surface of the sealing ring 61. The first inner groove 6c1 can be a closed annular groove or a circular arc groove surrounding the inner ring surface of the sealing ring 61. The first inner groove 6c1 can also be a circular groove surrounding the first sealing ring opening 6a1. The first sealing ring opening 6a1 is located at the bottom of the first inner groove 6c1. When one end of the tube body 2 is installed in the sealing ring 61, since the first sealing ring opening 6a1 or the first tube body opening 2b1 is relatively small, the two may not be completely aligned due to position deviation, thereby causing the communication effect between the first sealing ring opening 6a1 and the first tube body opening 2b1 to be unsatisfactory. By providing the first inner groove 6c1, even if there is a certain position deviation when one end of the tube body 2 is installed in the sealing ring 61, it will not affect the smooth communication between the first sealing ring opening 6a1 and the first tube body opening 2b1. The structure is simpler, the assembly is simpler and more convenient, the production efficiency is higher, the assembled medical catheter is more stable, and the qualified rate of finished products is higher.
[0086] The first communication structure 3 includes a first outer groove 6b1 provided on the outer ring surface of the sealing ring 61 and communicating with the second joint 12 and the first opening 6a1 of the sealing ring respectively. As Figures 9 to 12 , Figure 14 , Figure 15 , Figures 19 to 21 shown, the first outer groove 6b1 is provided on the outer ring surface of the sealing ring 61. The first outer groove 6b1 can be a closed annular groove surrounding the outer ring surface of the sealing ring 61 or an arc-shaped groove, and the first outer groove 6b1 can also be a circular groove surrounding the first opening 6a1 of the sealing ring. The first opening 6a1 of the sealing ring is located at the bottom of the first outer groove 6b1. When the sealing ring 61 is installed in the joint assembly 1, since the first opening 6a1 of the sealing ring is small, the first opening 6a1 of the sealing ring sometimes fails to be completely aligned with the second joint 12 due to position deviation, resulting in an unsatisfactory communication effect between the first opening 6a1 of the sealing ring and the second joint 12. By providing the first outer groove 6b1, even if there is a certain position deviation after the sealing ring 61 is installed in the joint assembly 1, it will not affect the smooth communication between the first opening 6a1 of the sealing ring and the second joint 12. The structure of the present invention is simpler, the assembly is simpler and more convenient, the production efficiency is higher, the stability of the assembled medical catheter is stronger, and the qualified rate of the finished product is higher.
[0087] As Figure 16 shown, in this embodiment, the sealing structure 6 is an adhesive, and the adhesive seals and pastes the outer tube wall of the tube body 2 and the inner wall of the joint assembly 1 together. The first communication structure 3 includes a first opening 2b1 provided on the outer tube wall of the tube body 2 and communicating with the second channel 2a2 and the second joint 12 respectively. The outer tube wall of the tube body 2 and the inner wall of the third joint 13 are adhesively sealed and connected. The sealing structure 6 is an adhesive filled between the outer tube wall of the tube body 2 and the inner wall of the joint assembly 1. The adhesive makes the connections between the tube body 2 and the second joint 12 and the first joint 11 more sealed and firm, the assembly is simpler and more convenient, and the production efficiency is higher.
[0088] A plurality of first outer ribs 6d1 for sealing connection between the tube body 2 and the first joint 11 are provided between the tube body 2 and the first joint 11, and a plurality of second outer ribs 6d2 for sealing connection between the tube body 2 and the third joint 13 are provided between the tube body 2 and the third joint 13. The first opening 2b1 of the tube body is located between the first outer rib 6d1 and the second outer rib 6d2. As Figure 5 and Figure 16As shown, the first external convex rib 6d1 and the second external convex rib 6d2 are annular convex ribs, and the annular convex ribs can also achieve a better sealing effect. The first external convex rib 6d1 and the second external convex rib 6d2 are respectively pasted on the tube body 2 through an adhesive. The tube body 2 and the joint assembly 1 are also hermetically connected through an adhesive. The first external convex rib 6d1 and the second external convex rib 6d2 will press against the joint assembly 1, making the connection between the tube body 2 and the joint assembly 1 tighter and the sealing performance better. The joints inside the joint assembly 1 will not conduct, the structure is simpler, and the assembled medical catheter has stronger stability.
[0089] The first communication structure 3 includes a first external groove 6b1 provided on the outer tube wall of the tube body 2 and communicating with the second joint 12 and the first opening 2b1 of the tube body respectively. As Figure 16 shown, the first external groove 6b1 is provided on the outer tube wall of the tube body 2. The first external groove 6b1 can be a closed annular groove surrounding the outer tube wall of the tube body 2 or an arc-shaped groove, and the first external groove 6b1 can also be a circular groove surrounding the first opening 2b1 of the tube body. The first tube body opening 2b1 is located at the bottom of the first external groove 6b1. When the tube body 2 and the joint assembly 1 are hermetically connected through an adhesive, since the first opening 2b1 of the tube body is small, the first opening 2b1 of the tube body sometimes has a position deviation and is not completely aligned with the second joint 12, resulting in an unsatisfactory communication effect between the first opening 2b1 of the tube body and the second joint 12. By providing the first external groove 6b1, even if there is a certain position deviation after the tube body 2 is inserted into the joint assembly 1, it will not affect the smooth communication between the first opening 2b1 of the tube body and the second joint 12. The structure of the present invention is simpler, the assembly is simpler and more convenient, the production efficiency is higher, and the assembled medical catheter has stronger stability.
[0090] The limiting structure 18 is a limiting portion where the end of the third joint 13 extends and narrows towards the center of the port. As Figure 4 、 Figures 13 to 15 、 Figures 17 to 22 shown, the end of the third joint 13 extends and narrows towards the center of the port to form a limiting portion. During the assembly production, first, the sealing ring 61 and one end of the tube body 2 are hermetically connected through an adhesive, and then the other end of the tube body 2 enters the joint assembly 1 from the port of the first joint 11 and extends out from the third joint 13. By pulling the other end of the tube body 2 forcefully, the sealing ring 61 is press-fitted with the joint assembly 1 for hermetic connection. The limiting portion can effectively prevent the sealing ring 61 from detaching from the third joint 13 when the tube body 2 is over-pulled. The structure is simpler, the assembly is more convenient, the production efficiency is higher, and the assembled medical catheter has better sealing effect and anti-detachment effect.
[0091] The port of the second joint 12 is provided with a first one-way valve 171. As Figures 13 to 15As shown, the first one-way valve 171 only allows gas or liquid to flow from the outside to the inside of the second joint 12, and can prevent gas or liquid from leaking out of the port of the second joint 12. Since the second joint 12, the first communication structure 3, and the second channel 2a2 are connected in sequence, when a syringe is inserted into the first one-way valve 171, liquid can be injected into the second joint 12, and the liquid will reach the patient's body. Also, the body fluid in the patient's body can be sucked out with a syringe for testing.
[0092] At one end of the second channel 2a2 away from the joint assembly 1, there is a second plugging member 52 for plugging its channel opening. On the outer wall of the tube body 2 between the first opening 2b1 of the tube body and the second plugging member 52, there is a fifth opening 2b5 of the tube body communicating with the second channel 2a2.

The tube body 2 is inserted into the patient's urinary tract, and a syringe is inserted into the first one-way valve 171. Sterile water is injected into the second joint 12. After the first balloon 71 is inflated, it expands and fixes the tube body 2 in the bladder. Then, urine in the patient's body can be led out of the body through the first joint 11 and the first channel 2a1.
[0093] On the outer wall of the tube body 2 between the first opening 2b1 of the tube body and the second plugging member 52, there is also a sixth opening 2b6 of the tube body communicating with the second channel 2a2.

The sealing ring 53 can be arranged at any position in the first channel 2a1, and the sealing ring 53 is relatively fixed to the pipe body 2. The wire 82 is electrically connected to the micro camera 81. The wire 82 passes through the inner ring opening 54.

The wire 82 can also pass through the inner ring opening 54 after sleeving a steel pipe. The diameter of the steel pipe is larger than the diameter of the inner ring opening 54, so that the steel pipe maintains a sealed fit with the sealing ring 53. This embodiment can be used as a uterine imaging catheter. When in use, first insert the wire 82 and the micro camera 81 into the sealing ring 53 and make the micro camera 81 reach inside the first balloon 71. Then insert the pipe body 2 into the uterus.
