Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of needles, in particular, to a syringe needle. BACKGROUND

[0002] Diseases of the fundus are increasingly becoming the main eye diseases that cause serious vision loss or even blindness in the middle-aged and elderly. It is difficult to deliver drugs to the target tissues in the posterior segment of the eye through traditional drug therapy (such as oral drugs and eye drops), so it is particularly important to develop an effective ocular drug delivery system.

[0003] At present, intravitreal injection, subretinal injection and suprachoroidal injection are three main drug delivery routes for treating diseases of the fundus.

[0004] Among them, in the drug delivery route of ophthalmic gene therapy products, intravitreal injection hinders drug penetration to the lesion site to some extent due to the limitation of the internal limiting membrane of the retina, thereby reducing the biological activity of the drug. More importantly, a large number of studies have shown that intravitreal injection can cause significant intraocular inflammatory reactions. Due to these potential risks, the intravitreal injection route is currently not recommended for use.

[0005] Subretinal injection is considered a reasonable and feasible ocular drug delivery route because it can directly deliver drugs to the lesion site. However, it must be performed after intravitreal surgery, which can cause damage to the intraocular tissues, such as damage to the lens and the formation of cataracts. In addition, subretinal injection is difficult to operate and can easily cause damage to the eye tissues, such as retinal damage, hemorrhage and macular hole. In addition, a certain volume of liquid needs to be injected, which can cause artificial local retinal detachment. If the detached retina cannot be quickly repositioned, the retinal cells at the detachment site can degenerate, thereby affecting the visual function. In addition, the injected liquid does not diffuse in the subretinal space after injection and is usually limited to the area around the injection site. Therefore, subretinal injection is not effective for the treatment of diseases that require targeting of the peripheral retina.

[0006] However, suprachoroidal injection is a revolutionary minimally invasive drug delivery route developed in recent years, which can minimize the risk of off-target effects, has high safety and high bioavailability.

[0007] However, when using a conventional ophthalmic injector needle for suprachoroidal injection, on the one hand, the needle does not have a limiting sleeve device, and the needle tube is long, making the operation difficult during use. On the other hand, the length of the total bevel of the existing needle is too long, which cannot completely deliver the target drug to the suprachoroidal space, resulting in low drug utilization. In addition, the needle in the prior art is not convenient to separate from the injector when the protective cap is sleeved, which is not user-friendly and cannot meet the use needs of clinics and patients. SUMMARY

[0008] Based on the above, the present application provides a syringe needle, which is easy to operate, has high drug utilization rate and good convenience during use, and can solve the problems of the corresponding needle in the prior art.

[0009] To achieve the foregoing object, the present application adopts the following technical scheme:

[0010] A syringe needle comprises a needle mechanism and a limiting sleeve mechanism; the needle mechanism comprises a needle seat; a plurality of identical clamping strips are arranged on the outer sidewall of the needle seat; the limiting sleeve mechanism is arranged on the outer sidewall of the needle mechanism; a plurality of identical first through holes are arranged on the sidewall of the limiting sleeve mechanism; and the middle and lower parts of the clamping strips penetrate the limiting sleeve mechanism through the first through holes.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the clamping strips can be linear clamping strips or curved clamping strips, preferably, the clamping strips are curved clamping strips, and the middle and lower parts of the curved clamping strips are matched with the first through holes.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the needle mechanism further comprises a needle tube connected to the needle seat; one end of the needle tube is provided with a beveled part; the beveled part comprises a first bevel and two identical second bevels; the two identical second bevels are symmetrically connected to the opposite ends of the first bevel; one end of one of the second bevels intersects one end of the other second bevel to form a needle tip.

[0014] Preferably, the specification of the needle tube is a standard needle tube of 30G.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, along the direction of the central axis of the needle tube, the sum of the length of one of the first bevels and the length of one of the second bevels is the length of the total bevel, the length of the total bevel is 0.55-0.8mm; the ratio of the length of the first bevel to the length of the total bevel is 1:2-3:5, and the ratio of the length of the second bevel to the length of the total bevel is 2:5-1:2.

[0016] Preferably, the length of the total bevel is 0.7mm, the ratio of the length of the first bevel to the length of the total bevel is 1:2, and the ratio of the length of the second bevel to the length of the total bevel is also 1:2.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the limiting sleeve mechanism is further provided with a second through hole, and the needle tube penetrates through the second through hole to the limiting sleeve mechanism, thereby limiting the length of the needle tube extending outside the limiting sleeve mechanism to meet the needs of suprachoroidal injection.

[0018] Further, when the limiting sleeve mechanism is sleeved on the outer sidewall of the needle mechanism, the length of the needle tube extending outside the limiting sleeve mechanism is 700-1300 microns.

[0019] Preferably, the length of the needle tube extending outside the limiting sleeve mechanism is 900 microns.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the protective cap mechanism is further detachably sleeved on the outer sidewall of the limiting sleeve mechanism, and the inner sidewall of the protective cap mechanism is provided with a plurality of identical limiting strips, and a limiting groove is formed between adjacent two limiting strips, and the limiting groove is matched with the clamping strip.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the width of the limiting groove is greater than the thickness of the clamping strip, so that the matching between the limiting groove and the clamping strip is more convenient.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the middle upper part of the inner sidewall of the protective cap mechanism is further provided with a plurality of identical first anti-skid strips, and the outer sidewall of the protective cap mechanism is further provided with a plurality of identical second anti-skid strips; when the protective cap mechanism is sleeved on the outer sidewall of the limiting sleeve mechanism, the outer sidewall of the limiting sleeve mechanism abuts against the first anti-skid strip, thereby connecting the limiting sleeve mechanism and the protective cap mechanism.

[0026] In the technical scheme adopted by the application, the limiting sleeve mechanism is sleeved on the outer sidewall of the needle mechanism, and the depth of the needle mechanism inserted into the limiting sleeve mechanism is limited, so that the length of the needle tube extending outside the limiting sleeve mechanism is limited, thereby realizing easy operation when the injector needle is used for suprachoroidal injection.

[0027] On the other hand, under the cooperation between the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface, the opening defined by the inclined surface part is ensured to be in the suprachoroidal space, so that the purpose of accurately delivering the drug to the suprachoroidal space is achieved, and the drug utilization rate is effectively improved.

[0028] In addition, the limiting groove inside the protective cap mechanism cooperates with the clamping strip penetrating the limiting sleeve mechanism, so that the needle mechanism can be directly connected with the syringe without dismounting the protective cap mechanism, and the use convenience is improved.

[0051] The limiting sleeve mechanism 20 and the needle mechanism 10 are gap-fitted, and the limiting sleeve mechanism 20 and the needle mechanism 10 are connected by means of gluing.

[0052] A plurality of identical first through holes 21 are provided on the side wall of the limiting sleeve mechanism 20, the shape of the first through hole 21 is a waist-shaped through hole, and the plurality of identical first through holes 21 are arranged in a ring shape on the side wall of the limiting sleeve mechanism 20 along the central axis of the limiting sleeve mechanism 20; the middle and lower parts of the clamping strip 13 are penetrated through the limiting sleeve mechanism 20 by cooperating the first through hole 21 with the middle and lower parts of the clamping strip 13.

[0053] The bottom of the limiting sleeve mechanism 20 is also provided with a second through hole 22, and the needle tube 12 penetrates through the limiting sleeve mechanism 20 through the second through hole 22. Specifically, when the limiting sleeve mechanism 20 is sleeved on the outer side wall of the needle head mechanism 10, the length of the needle tube 12 extending out of the limiting sleeve mechanism 20 is 700 μm-1300 μm.
