Abstract
Description
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medical devices, and particularly relates to an implanting device and its loading and unloading tool assembly. Background Art
[0002] Currently, existing medical intervention products include an integral structure and a split structure. For the integral structure, the components of the product adopt axial cooperation. During the process of the implanting device being received into the sheath tube, rotated, and the cable being disengaged in the reverse direction, loosening is likely to occur easily, increasing the surgical risk. Moreover, during the cooperation of the components of the product, repeated disassembly and assembly and personalized adjustment cannot be effectively achieved. The anti-loosening structures adopted all achieve this through local deformation or displacement, and the degree of damage to the device is uncontrollable, causing the product to lose its original shape. Also, due to the small size of the implanting device, performing local deformation or displacement in a limited space increases the difficulty of surgical operation. It is very difficult for the auxiliary tool to hold the implanting device in place, and it may even damage adjacent components. According to user feedback, this anti-disengagement structure through local deformation or displacement will not be adopted by customers. For the split structure, the centering during the axial assembly of the components of the product is relatively poor, and the product bulges in the radial direction, which will affect the process of being received into the sheath.
[0003] Patent CN112022246A provides a left atrial appendage occluder and its usage method. The left atrial appendage occluder includes an anchoring portion, a connecting portion, and a covering portion that are sequentially connected along the axial direction. Among them, the anchoring portion includes a first support mesh that can radially contract and a first fixing element. A plurality of anchoring elements for grasping the left atrial appendage tissue are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the first support mesh. The first fixing element is detachably connected to the connecting portion, enabling the anchoring portion to be separately placed at the left atrial appendage. The covering portion includes a second support mesh that can radially contract and a second fixing element. The second fixing element is installed at one end of the second support mesh away from the connecting portion. Pushing device connection positions are respectively provided at one ends of the first fixing element and the second fixing element away from the first support mesh.Through the specific structures and connection relationships of the anchoring part, the connecting part and the covering part, the present invention achieves the purpose of flexible use of the instrument and improves the adaptability of the left atrial appendage occluder to left atrial appendages of various shapes. However, the patent still has the following disadvantages: 1) There are two usage forms of the occluder in this patent: using only its anchoring part alone, or using the combination of the anchoring part, the connecting part and the covering part. For some flat and shallow-shaped atrial appendages clinically, a double-disk occluder is suitable, and there are certain restrictions on the overall height of the occluder. However, in the design of this patent, the anchoring part and the covering part cannot be directly connected and must be transitioned through the connecting part in the middle, increasing the distance between the anchoring part and the covering part, thus having certain limitations in terms of the applicable range; 2) The connecting part in this patent only realizes the combined disassembly of the anchoring part and the covering part through a threaded connection, which has certain design drawbacks: Although the assembly of each component can be achieved through the rotation of the threaded structure, and in one implementation of this patent, the components are mutually locked through a resistance element, it brings difficulties to the operation of repeated loading and unloading. For example, when the user finishes assembling and then finds that a temporary replacement of the specification is needed, the current design is very difficult to disassemble repeatedly, or the disassembly resistance is large and not easy to operate; 3) In one implementation of this patent, the connecting part is provided with a clamping element, and one end of it can be rotatably installed in the spherical cavity of the connecting part to realize the angle adjustment between the anchoring part and the covering part. The design drawbacks brought by this rotatable method mainly include: First, the rotatable connection mechanism involves the mutual movement and cooperation of multiple parts, which is difficult to manufacture, and the rotation angle cannot be accurately controlled. After being implanted into the human body, due to the relative rotation between the anchoring part and the covering part, the user cannot accurately grasp the precise release position of the occluder during the operation, and at the same time, the covering part is extremely likely to shake, posing a certain challenge to the sealing effectiveness of the left atrial appendage; Second, this movable design has extremely high requirements for the fatigue performance of the occluder. After implantation, along with the continuous beating of the heart, the movable connecting part may cause the risk of fatigue fracture and failure; 4) In one implementation of this patent, the connecting part is provided with an elastic element to realize the axial telescoping or relative bending between the anchoring part and the covering part. This design has the following disadvantages: The accuracy of axial telescoping and stretching or relative bending cannot be controlled, that is, the size of axial telescoping cannot be quantitatively controlled, and the telescoping and stretching ranges are limited; 5) The structure of the connecting part in this patent is complex, especially in the implementation method involving a hollow tube supported by an elastic metal tube in the middle of the connecting part. Due to the large gaps between the connecting units, these gaps may become the source of stress corrosion, affecting the long-term corrosion resistance of the occluder.
[0004] Patent CN107233117B provides a left atrial appendage occluder, which includes an occluding disc, a fixing disc and a connecting device. The occluding disc is used to occlude the left atrial appendage; the fixing disc is used to fix the left atrial appendage occluder on the left atrial appendage, and barbs are provided on the fixing disc; the connecting device connects the occluding disc and the fixing disc, and the connecting device includes a detachable adjustment structure. The detachable adjustment structure includes a first component and a second component that is separated or combined with the first component. The first component and the second component can move relative to each other. The first component is connected to the occluding disc, and the second component is connected to the fixing disc. The adjustment of the depth / length of the left atrial appendage occluder can be achieved through the relative movement between the first component and the second component, so as to adapt to left atrial appendages with different depths; the detachable adjustment structure can be selectively connected to fixing discs of different sizes to adapt to left atrial appendages with different shapes. Although this patent relates to a detachable left atrial appendage occluder, it still has the following disadvantages: 1) Fixing discs of different sizes are detachable. Although a detachable structure is designed, no anti-loosening device or structure after the fixing disc is reassembled is designed. Therefore, the detachable nature in such designs means looseness, which will pose a safety hazard in actual use; 2) The relative movement of the threaded structure is used to achieve height adjustment for each component of the left atrial appendage occluder in this patent, and it is not reliable in actual operation. During the surgical process, with the retraction and release sheath and pulling movement of the left atrial appendage occluder by the delivery steel cable, the components of the occluder will also rotate accordingly, resulting in the failure of height adjustment and thus bringing the hidden danger of implantation failure; 3) The height adjustment member and the occluder are of an integral structure, and the range of adjustable height is limited; 4) In one implementation of this patent, the length / depth of the left atrial appendage occluder can be adjusted by the insertion depth between the external spline structure and the internal spline structure, or the insertion depth between the clamping part and the buckling part, but the problem of loosening after insertion is not solved.
[0005] Patent CN106466196A discloses a split left atrial appendage occluder, comprising a separately arranged anchoring device and a sealing disc. One of the anchoring device and the sealing disc is provided with a cylindrical first connector, and the other is provided with a second connector that cooperates with the cylindrical wall of the first connector to achieve a detachable connection. The first and second connectors can adopt a stopper hole and a hook for cooperation, or they can also adopt an interference fit method simultaneously or separately. The detachable left atrial appendage occluder provided by this patent can adjust the distance between the anchoring device and the sealing disc according to the shape of the left atrial appendage, so that the sealing disc can completely block the left atrium from the left atrial appendage. The connection between the first and second connectors is achieved by using a hook and a stopper hole to cooperate. First, an anchoring device of appropriate size is released in the body, so that the anchoring device is fixed in a position near the opening inside the left atrial appendage. Then, a sealing disc of appropriate size is selected for release. During the release of the sealing disc, the hook extends into the stopper hole. When the sealing disc tends to detach from the left atrial appendage, the hook hooks the stopper hole to prevent it from detaching. Although this patent involves an adjustable-distance left atrial appendage occluder, it still has the following shortcomings: 1) The connector has great resistance during the process of being retracted into the sheath, and may even get stuck in the sheath, making it impossible to use a delivery sheath with a smaller sheath diameter; 2) The connector relies solely on the structural design of the hook and the limiting hole, and the force transmission is poor; 3) During the release of the product, the design of the barb is prone to entanglement, and even the anchoring device and the sealing disc are prone to falling off, which leads to failure to release, resulting in a design defect; 4) The design of the connector makes it impossible to accurately guarantee the accuracy of height adjustment; 5) The barb design of the connector is prone to breakage risk. As a force-bearing component, the barb will break during the pushing process of the delivery system and the process of retracting and releasing the sheath of the product, resulting in implantation failure; and after implantation into the human body, the barb part is also prone to fatigue failure due to long-term force, thereby causing breakage.
[0006] Therefore, the implant device and its assembly and disassembly tool assembly provided by the present invention can realize the free combination and repeated disassembly and assembly of components of various specifications according to the actual needs of the patient, which can avoid the doctor's misoperation. Compared with similar products on the market, it is safer, more convenient, has a wider range of adjustable axial spacing, and is more flexible. Summary of the Invention

[0039] In one embodiment, the circumferential limiting structure is located in the proximal region of the lateral connecting structure.
[0040] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention at least include the following:
[0041] 1. At present, most medical intervention products are of integral structure and split structure. For the integral structure, axial mating connection is used between the components of the product. This connection method cannot achieve disassembly, assembly and personalized adjustment. Moreover, the product specifications between components cannot be effectively replaced according to the patient's anatomical form, and it is difficult to repeatedly disassemble. The components occupy a large space volume, are not convenient to operate, and are prone to looseness between components, which is likely to cause doctors' misoperation, thus posing a safety hazard. For the split structure, the centering during the axial assembly of the components of the product is relatively poor, and the product protrudes in the radial direction, which will affect the process of inserting into the sheath. Different from the prior art, in an embodiment of the present invention, the implant device includes a first component, a second component, and a lateral connection structure; circumferential limiting structures are provided on the first component and the second component; the lateral connection structure is used for axially limiting the first component and the second component; the loading and unloading tool assembly includes a rotation operation part, a rotation force transmission part, and a first guide part in sequence from the right end to the left end; the structure is simple, the implant device occupies a small space in the sheath tube, and according to the actual needs of patients, free combination and repeated disassembly of various specification parts of the implant device can be realized. The disassembly and assembly are quick and convenient, reducing the interference factors during the operation, providing a wide surgical operation vision and a large operation space, avoiding doctors' misoperation, and improving the surgical safety. Compared with similar products on the market, it has better safety, stronger convenience, a wider adjustable range of axial spacing, and higher flexibility.
[0042] 2. Different from the prior art, in an embodiment of the present invention, the circumferential limiting structure includes one or more positioning bosses and positioning grooves matching the positioning bosses; the positioning bosses are non-centrally symmetric about the central axis of the implant device; the radial fitting region sequentially includes a first-size hole and a second-size hole from the right end to the left end; the lateral connection structure includes an intermediate connector, one or more first-group lateral holes, and a second-group lateral holes matching the first-group lateral holes; the first-group lateral holes and the second-group lateral holes form the radial fitting region; the radial fitting region includes the first-size hole and the second-size hole; the first-size hole and the second-size hole are different in size; the aperture of the first-size hole is larger than that of the second-size hole, the left end of the first guide member passes from the right end to the left end into the first-size hole and reaches the left-end region or outside the left-end region of the second-size hole. At this time, the left end of the second guide member is fitted with the right end of the second-size hole. Operate the tool assembly to drive the second guide member to continue moving leftward. At the same time, after the rotation operation part drives the intermediate connector to rotate circumferentially through the rotation force transmission member to form the fitting connection structure, the limiting member abuts against the limiting part. Such a design can ensure the accurate positioning of the fitting position and direction of the first component and the second component, which is convenient and fast, enabling the first-size hole and the second-size hole in the first-group lateral holes and the second-group lateral holes to be quickly fitted, avoiding the problems of repeated assembly and poor positioning effect of the two. Throughout the process, the first guide member and the second guide member provide guiding and positioning functions for loading the intermediate connector into the radial fitting region, and the operation is simple and fast.
[0043] 3. Different from the prior art, in an embodiment of the present invention, the tool assembly and the intermediate connector form a detachable connection structure through the rotation force transmission member, and the radial dimension of the left-end region of the rotation operation part decreases in the direction close to the first guide member; and the rotation force transmission member is of a straight-shaped structure or a cross-shaped structure. Such a design can not only ensure that when the operator operates near the implant device, the tool assembly does not touch the implant device, but also ensure that the operator can easily hold and disassemble the tool at the rotation operation part, avoiding surgical mistakes.
[0044] 4. Different from the prior art, in an embodiment of the present invention, the maximum dimension of the rotation force transmission member is smaller than the minimum peripheral dimension of the external thread; such a design can ensure that the rotation force transmission member or the multi-pyramid structure touches the external thread when rotating forward, avoiding the possibility of the failure of the cooperation between the external thread and the internal thread.
[0045] 5. Different from the prior art, in an embodiment of the present invention, an elastic component is provided in the rotation operation part. When the first guide member abuts against the left end of the blind hole, the elastic component makes the intermediate connector continue to move leftward along the axis, and the operation is simple, convenient and fast.
