Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical supplies, and in particular to an esophageal stent pusher. Background Art

[0002] An esophageal stent is a mesh stent made of nickel-titanium alloy memory metal. A silicone rubber film is sometimes attached to the surface of the stent to close the mesh holes. The main function of the esophageal stent is to prevent proliferative lesions from re-entering the cavity and to prevent the internal space of the lumen from narrowing again. However, since the esophageal stent is a mesh structure with a soft texture, it cannot be directly inserted into the patient's esophagus and needs to be installed with the help of a pusher. However, when installing the esophageal stent, the existing esophageal stent pusher mainly installs it by manual pushing, which makes it difficult to accurately position it, making it easy for the esophageal stent to deviate during installation. At the same time, the existing pusher has no fixed structure for the esophageal stent, so it is easy for the esophageal stent to fall off the pusher before reaching the predetermined installation area during installation. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides an esophageal stent pusher, which has the advantages of being able to accurately position the installation area and prevent the esophageal stent from falling off the device during the installation process.

[0022] The surface of the right side of the rotating wheel 21 passes through the left side of the outer sheath tube 1 and fits with the surface of the inner tube 3. The surface of the rotating wheel 21 is provided with anti-skid teeth. The surface of the connecting gear 22 is transmission-connected to the rotating wheel 21 through the anti-skid teeth. The back side of the output shaft of the reduction motor 23 passes through the front side of the connecting plate 2 and is fixedly connected to the center of the front side of the connecting gear 22. This structural arrangement enables the reduction motor 23 to drive the connecting gear 22 to rotate, thereby utilizing the connecting gear 22 to drive the rotating wheel 21 to rotate, and utilizing the anti-skid teeth provided on the rotating wheel 21 to drive the inner tube 3 to move up and down. No manual operation by the staff is required, thereby simplifying the operation difficulty.

[0023] A spring 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the block 33 away from the center of the inner tube 3 , and one end of the spring 34 away from the center of the inner tube 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner tube 3 . This structural arrangement enables the spring 34 to drive the block 33 to move inside the inner tube 3 .

[0024] The left and right sides of the surface of the slide rod 32 are fixedly connected with connecting blocks, and the shape structure of the front side of the connecting block is trapezoidal. The left and right sides of the connecting groove 31 and the position near the bottom are provided with card grooves that penetrate the surface of the inner tube 3, and the shape structure of the card groove is consistent with the shape structure of the card block 33. This structural setting enables the slide rod 32 to use the connecting block to drive the card block 33 to move, thereby fixing the position of the bracket body 4 by using the card block 33.

[0025] The bottom of the connecting soft rod 5 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the sliding rod 32, and the top of the connecting soft rod 5 passes through the top of the inner tube 3. A slot is provided in the center of the top of the plug 41. The bottom of the top block 42 passes through the bottom of the inner tube 3 and is movably connected to the inside of the slot. The plug 41 is made of a rubber block. This structural setting enables the size of the plug 41 to be changed through the movable connection between the top block 42 and the plug 41, thereby facilitating the plug 41 to pass through the interior of the bracket body 4.

[0026] Limiting blocks 35 are fixedly connected at the center of the left and right sides of the inner tube 3 and near the bottom. The position of the bracket body 4 is located between the top head 41 and the limiting blocks 35. This structural arrangement uses the limiting blocks 35 and the top head 41 to limit the position of the bracket body 4 to prevent the bracket body 4 from moving away from the device during installation.

[0027] Positioning blocks 9 are slidably connected at the left and right sides of the inner tube 3 and near the top. The bottom of the positioning blocks 9 fits with the top of the top cover 6. This structural setting limits the moving distance of the inner tube 3.

[0028] When using the present invention, the medical staff first determines the installation distance of the bracket body 4 through X-ray, and then the staff can slide the positioning block 9 so that the distance between the positioning block 9 and the top head 41 corresponds to the installation distance determined by X-ray, and then the staff can push the connecting soft rod 5 downward, so that the sliding rod 32 moves downward inside the inner tube 3 under the action of the connecting soft rod 5. At this time, the connecting block set on the sliding rod 32 fits with the card block 33, and pushes the card block 33 out of the inner tube 3, so that the card block 33 fits with the inner wall of the bracket body 4, thereby clamping and fixing the bracket body 4. At the same time, the top block 42 is inserted into the inside of the top head 41, so that the size of the top head 41 is larger than the size of the inside of the bracket body 4, so that the position of the bracket body 4 is limited by the top head 41 and the limit block 35, so as to prevent the bracket body 4 from detaching from the device during the installation process, and then the staff can extend the bottom of the device into the patient's esophagus and start the reduction motor at the same time. 23, the reduction motor 23 is used to drive the connecting gear 22 to rotate, and the rotating wheel 21 is driven to rotate under the rotation action of the connecting gear 22, and the inner tube 3 is driven to move downward under the action of the anti-slip teeth on the surface of the rotating wheel 21, and the bracket body 4 is extended into the esophagus. When the position of the inner tube 3 moves to the bottom of the positioning block 9 and fits with the top of the top cover 6, the reduction motor 23 can be stopped. At this time, the position of the bracket body 4 has reached the predetermined installation area. Finally, the medical staff only needs to pull the connecting soft rod 5 upward so that the connecting soft rod 5 drives the sliding rod 32 and the top block 42 to move upward. At this time, the top block 42 is separated from the top head 41, and the size of the top head 41 becomes smaller than the size inside the bracket body 4. At the same time, the block 33 returns to the inside of the inner tube 3 under the action of the spring 34 and is separated from the bracket body 4. At this time, the medical staff only needs to pull the device upward to extract the inner tube 3 and the top head 41 from the patient's esophagus and install the bracket body 4 in the patient's esophagus.

[0029] The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent substitution, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
