Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intravenous catheterization technology, specifically to an intravenous catheterization assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Intravenous catheterization is suitable for various cases requiring cardiopulmonary bypass for cardiac surgery. It is inserted and fixed in the superior and inferior vena cava to drain the body's blood into the extracorporeal circulation system.

[0003] During cardiopulmonary bypass, venous blood is drained into the cardiopulmonary bypass pump through a cannula in the vena cava by gravity, and then undergoes a series of processes. Therefore, when establishing cardiopulmonary bypass, cannulation is performed at appropriate sites in the superior and inferior vena cava. After successful cannulation, effective occlusion is required to prevent blood from flowing back into the right atrium. The most common occlusion method is to wrap a band around the vena cava and then tighten the band to achieve the occlusion effect.

[0004] The existing intravenous catheters require a process transfer after the spring is installed during manufacturing. The semi-finished intravenous catheters are leveled and baked using a glue-impregnation equipment, which is very inconvenient for production. Furthermore, the transfer of semi-finished products inevitably increases the risk of product scrap, and the outer diameter of the catheters has a large error that cannot ensure consistency. Therefore, we need to propose an intravenous catheter forming assembly equipment. Summary of the Invention
