Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a peripheral point-shaped stent catheter and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Among the current peripheral stent products, the stent is usually laser-cut from a nickel-titanium tube, pre-installed on the delivery system, and released with one hand using an ergonomically designed handle. The handle is also equipped with a locking device that can switch the product between locked and unlocked states in any state. This allows the system to be locked when adjusting the delivery system position after releasing any stent, and to be unlocked when any stent needs to be released. When the stent is exposed to body temperature, it expands to fit tightly against the blood vessel wall. Through the expansion and expansion of the stent, a continuous and moderate radial support force is generated after reaching the pre-set diameter, thereby establishing blood vessel patency. However, during the release operation, current peripheral stent products are prone to problems such as improper stent release position, the need to repeatedly enter and exit the blood vessel, and the surgical operation is complicated and time-consuming.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a peripheral point-shaped stent catheter, comprising:

[0046] An inner tube 10 having a hollow interior, wherein a first end portion of the inner tube 10 is fixedly connected to a tip 1 having a hollow interior, wherein the inner tube 10 and the interior of the tip 1 are interconnected, and a guide wire passes through the inner tube 10 along the inner cavity of the tip 1;

[0047] A plurality of brackets 3, a plurality of bracket development identification rings 2, and a limiting tube 9 are sleeved on the outer surface of the inner tube 10, wherein the plurality of brackets 3 and the plurality of bracket development identification rings 2 are alternately arranged on the outer surface of the inner tube 10, the end of each bracket is adjacent to a bracket development identification ring, and the first end of the limiting tube 9 is adjacent to the bracket development identification ring farthest from the first end of the inner tube 10 among the plurality of bracket development identification rings 2;

[0048] a release tube 8 sleeved on the outer surface of the plurality of brackets 3;

[0054] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the inner surface of the limiting tube 9 is in contact with and fixedly connected to the outer surface of the inner tube 10 .

[0055] In this example, the inner surface of the limiting tube 9 is adhered to the outer surface of the inner tube 10 and fixedly connected. The adhesion method can be hot melting or gluing, so that the limiting tube 9 and the inner tube 10 form an integrated structure.

[0056] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the release tube 8 includes at least one layer of an inner layer 15, a middle layer 16 and an outer layer 17; wherein,

[0060] In this example, the release tube 8 has a three-layer structure design, and the inner layer 15 is made of a polymer material with high strength, smooth surface and low friction coefficient, which can reduce the friction between the stent 3 and the inner wall of the release tube 8, thereby improving the stability of the stent 3 during release; the outer layer 17 is made of polyether block polyamide (PEBAX) material near the tip 1, and the part away from the tip 1 is made of nylon material (PA), wherein the hardness of the PEBAX material is low and the hardness of the PA material is high. Through this design, the part of the release tube 8 near the tip 1 can be taken into account while ensuring a certain softness and good pushing performance; the middle layer 16 includes a release tube identification ring 32 and a metal braided wire 18, wherein the release tube identification ring 32 is set at one end near the tip 1, which can be used to remind the surgeon the distal position of the release tube 8 during surgery, which helps to accurately release the stent 3, and the metal braided wire 18 can improve the strength of the stent catheter tube body, so that the tube body has good anti-axial tensile performance and controllability, thereby improving the release performance of the stent 3.

[0061] like Figure 6 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the end of the release tube 8 away from the tip 1 is fixedly connected to the release tube seat 19.

[0062] In this example, the release tube 8 and the release tube seat 19 are both made of polymer materials with similar melting points. The release tube 8 and the release tube seat 19 adopt an integrated injection molding process.

[0064] The release tube seat 19 includes an anti-rotation rib 21, a concentric shaft 22, and a first buckle structure 23;

[0065] The rack 20 includes an anti-rotation groove 25, a concentric hole 26, and a second buckle structure 24;

[0066] In which, when the anti-rotation rib 21 is inserted into the anti-rotation groove 25, the release tube seat 19 is locked with the rack 20, and the concentric shaft 22 is inserted into the concentric hole 26 to maintain the center lines of the release tube seat 19 and the rack 20 coaxial, and the first buckle structure 23 cooperates with the second buckle structure 24 to achieve a fixed connection between the release tube seat 19 and the rack 20.
