TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a sheath tube with a protection umbrella. BACKGROUND
[0002] Vascular endovascular intervention surgery is a common treatment for vascular diseases. Surgical operations in the lumen are prone to produce thrombus debris, which can easily be transported to embolize the renal artery, the distal lower extremity and other small arteries via the abdominal aorta. There are few products and patents on sheath tubes with protection umbrellas for thrombectomy surgery to isolate debris on the market. The following is a comparison of several products:
[0003] Chinese invention patent with publication number CN114159125A discloses an abdominal aorta self-expanding horn flower protection umbrella device. The device is used to solve the problem of debris falling caused by abdominal aorta thrombectomy. A protection umbrella is arranged between the inner sheath tube and the outer sheath tube. The protection umbrella is designed as a conical structure with the bottom turned outward. An inner side net bag ring is arranged in the protection umbrella to isolate debris. Although this product can be used to isolate debris, it has the following technical defects: the design of the inner and outer sheath tube layers directly increases the thickness of the sheath tube, which increases the access that can be inserted into the body, seriously affecting the quality of the surgery. In addition, the horn flower structure uses too many bone support nets, which may cause the release of the umbrella device to be blocked during actual surgery, not only affecting the progress of the surgery by the attending physician, but also seriously affecting the progress of the surgery, and even delaying the patient's condition. The release of the protection umbrella by the device is uncontrollable, and if the patient's blood flow is insufficient or the protection umbrella is about to be released, it will be affected by the original thrombus debris in the blood vessel, which will directly cause the protection umbrella to fail to release. The device has high manufacturing process precision requirements and is not easy to manufacture.
[0004] Chinese invention patent with publication number CN113425374A discloses a disposable embolism protection umbrella. The umbrella captures thrombus. The distal end of the distal guide wire is sleeved with a spring that can be extended and retracted along the direction of the distal guide wire. The device is used to solve the problem of debris falling caused by carotid artery thrombectomy. The device can only be used for thrombectomy, and has the following technical defects: the device cannot be used with other surgical instruments in the sheath tube, and it cannot capture thrombus debris for a long time during surgery. The complex structure may also make it difficult to extract large thrombus in special tortuous blood vessels.
[0005] A Chinese invention patent with publication number CN103385744A discloses a temporary filter with a distal protector, which has high safety and is easy to recycle. The sheath has a protection umbrella in a contracted state, which can be displaced along the channel in the sheath. A recycling guide device can be connected with the rear end of the sheath at any time, which is used to solve the problem of preventing the thrombus of the carotid artery from falling off the inferior vena cava. However, the following technical defects exist: the device cannot be used with other surgical instruments in the sheath, the thrombus debris cannot be captured for a long time during the operation, the guide wire of the protection net recycling structure is too much, and the guide wire may be wound when a large thrombus is encountered, so that the sheath cannot be smoothly recovered, which seriously affects the operation quality and causes other postoperative complications.
