[0025] An embodiment of the present application provides a vascular suture device 100. The vascular suture device 100 includes a driving handle 120, a suture tube 110, an introduction tube 130 and a hemostatic member 140. A docking wire group 111 is movably provided on the suture tube 110, and the driving handle 120 is connected to one end of the suture tube 110. A suture needle group 115 is provided on the driving handle 120. The driving handle 120 is used to drive the docking wire group 111 to expand, and to drive the suture needle group 115 to dock with the docking wire group 111. The introduction tube 130 is connected to the other end of the suture tube 110. The end of the introduction tube 130 away from the suture tube 110 has a port 133. A guide wire outlet 134 is also formed on the introduction tube 130. A hollow channel 135 connecting the port 133 and the guide wire outlet 134 is provided in the introduction tube 130.

[0026] When suturing a blood vessel is required, a guide wire is placed in the blood vessel to guide the introduction tube 130 into the blood vessel. The guide wire can be introduced from the port 133 of the introduction tube 130, and then led out from the guide wire outlet 134 after passing through the hollow channel 135. The introduction tube 130 can then accurately enter the blood vessel from the port to be sutured, thereby improving the safety and efficiency of suturing. After the introduction tube 130 accurately enters the blood vessel, the guide wire can be withdrawn from the guide wire outlet 134, and the introduction tube 130 can continue to extend into the blood vessel until the docking wire group 111 on the suture tube 110 enters the blood vessel. When the docking wire group 111 extends from the opening to be sutured into the blood vessel, the driving handle 120 drives the docking wire group 111 in the suture tube 110 to expand in the blood vessel, and the driving handle 120 further drives the suture needle group 115 to dock with the docking wire group 111; after docking, the suture needle group 115 can be pulled out to thread the needle, and then the driving handle 120 drives the docking wire group 111 to be retracted into the suture tube 110, and the vascular suture device 100 is withdrawn. After the vascular suture device 100 is withdrawn, the thread trimmer can be used to push the knot to the wound position, tighten the knot and trim the excess thread to complete the suture.

[0027] It should be noted that when the vascular suture device 100 is placed in place for suturing, the guide wire outlet 134 of the introduction tube 130 is located in the blood vessel, but before the introduction tube 130 is completely placed, the blood in the blood vessel may flow out through the introduction tube 130 due to the hollow setting of the introduction tube 130. In order to prevent blood loss, the vascular suture device 100 also includes a hemostatic member 140. The hemostatic member 140 is arranged in the hollow channel 135. The hemostatic member 140 allows the guide wire to pass through, but the hemostatic member 140 plays a certain blocking role in the hollow channel 135, increasing the resistance of blood flow. Under normal blood pressure, blood cannot flow out, thereby avoiding blood loss, further improving the safety of the vascular suture device 100.

[0028] In some embodiments, the suture tube 110 has a receiving groove (not shown in the figure). The docking wire group 111 includes a foot wing 112 and a connecting wire 114. The foot wing 112 is rotatably arranged on the suture tube 110, and the driving handle 120 drives the foot wing 112 to rotate, so that the two ends of the foot wing 112 can be rotated out of the receiving groove, and the driving handle 120 drives the foot wing 112 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the foot wing 112 can be accommodated back into the receiving groove. The two ends of the foot wing 112 have a card slot 113 respectively. The connecting wire 114 is wound around the foot wing 112, and the two ends of the connecting wire 114 are respectively provided with a sleeve (not shown in the figure). The sleeve is clamped in the card slot 113. The docking wire group 111 can penetrate the blood vessel and be clamped with the sleeve. The retreat of the docking wire group 111 can drive the connecting wire 114 to move outside the sleeve, thereby completing the threading. Usually, the connecting wire 114 is white.

[0029] Specifically, the suture needle group 115 includes a first suture needle 1151 and a second suture needle 1152. The end of the first suture needle 1151 is connected to the suture thread 1153, and the first suture needle 1151 can drive the suture thread 1153 to engage with the corresponding sleeve; the second suture needle 1152 is inserted into the knot, and the end of the second suture needle 1152 is engaged with the corresponding sleeve. When the first suture needle 1151 and the second suture needle 1152 penetrate into the blood vessel, the suture thread 1153 at the end of the first suture needle 1151 can engage with the corresponding sleeve, the first suture needle 1151 is separated from the suture thread 1153, and the end of the second suture needle 1152 is engaged with the corresponding sleeve. At this time, the suture needle group 115 is withdrawn, the second suture needle 1152 pulls the connecting line 114 out of the blood vessel, and the connecting line 114 pulls the suture thread 1153 to complete the suture threading and pass back into the knot. After the vascular suture device 100 is withdrawn, a thread trimmer can be used to push the knot to the wound position, tighten the knot and trim the excess thread ends to complete the suturing. Typically, the suture 1153 is blue.

[0030] Further, the driving handle 120 includes a handle body 121 and a lever 122. The handle body 121 is connected to one end of the suture tube 110. The lever 122 is rotatably disposed on the handle body 121. The lever 122 is connected to the foot wing 112 through a connecting rod to drive the foot wing 112 to rotate. By moving the lever 122 back and forth, the foot wing 112 can be driven to expand and retract. The connecting rod is located in the handle body 121 and extends to the suture tube 110.

[0031] Further, the driving handle 120 also includes a push rod 123. The push rod 123 can be slidably disposed on the handle body 121. The push rod 123 is connected to the suture needle group 115. The push rod 123 can drive the suture needle group 115 to approach or move away from the docking line group 111. By pushing the push rod 123 toward the direction close to the introduction tube 130, the suture needle group 115 can be driven to penetrate into the blood vessel, and by pulling the push rod 123 toward the direction away from the introduction tube 130, the suture needle group 115 can be driven to withdraw from the blood vessel, thereby completing threading. The push rod 123 can be withdrawn from the handle body 121 to completely withdraw the suture needle group 115 and drive the suture line 1153 to complete threading.

[0032] In some embodiments, the introduction tube 130 includes an outer tube 131 and an inner tube 132. The outer tube 131 is connected to the suture tube 110. A port 133 is formed at one end of the outer tube 131 away from the suture tube 110. A guide wire outlet 134 is formed on the outer tube 131, and a hollow channel 135 connecting the port 133 and the guide wire outlet 134 is also formed on the outer tube 131. An annular groove 136 is also formed in the outer tube 131, and the annular groove 136 is communicated with the hollow channel 135. The inner tube 132 is embedded in the annular groove 136, and the inner tube 132 is hollow and can allow the guide wire to pass through. Among them, the hemostatic member 140 is embedded in the annular groove 136 and is located between the inner tube 132 and the port 133. By setting the inner tube 132 and the outer tube 131, the inner tube 132 can press the hemostatic member 140 against one end of the annular groove 136, thereby realizing the positioning of the hemostatic member 140.

[0033] In some embodiments, the inner tube 132 is made of expandable material, and the inner tube 132 can absorb liquid and expand to block the hollow channel 135. If in abnormal circumstances, there is blood flow through the hemostatic member 140 and reaches the position of the inner tube 132, because the inner tube 132 is made of expandable material, the inner tube 132 can absorb liquid and expand. On the one hand, when the blood flow is small, the inner tube 132 can absorb blood to avoid affecting the suturing process; on the other hand, after absorbing a certain amount of blood, the inner tube 132 quickly expands to block the hollow channel 135, thereby forming a physical barrier to effectively block the blood flow.

[0034] Specifically, the inner tube 132 may be a sponge tubular structure made of PVA polyvinyl alcohol, starch, collagen, etc. The inner tube 132 may be deformed to be placed in the annular groove 136 of the outer tube 131, and may also restore its shape after being placed in the annular groove 136 to allow the guide wire to pass through, and absorb and swell to form a physical barrier when blood passes through.

[0035] In some embodiments, the inner tube 132 is also provided with a flow monitoring component. The flow monitoring component is located at one end of the inner tube 132 close to the hemostasis component 140 to monitor the blood flow rate. When the flow monitoring component detects abnormal blood flow, a prompt may be issued, thereby reminding the operator to perform relevant hemostasis operations. For example, physiological saline may be injected into the hollow channel 135 to expand the inner tube 132 in advance to form a physical barrier to block the blood flow. Of course, a liquid bag may also be placed in the inner tube 132. When the flow monitoring component detects that the flow rate is greater than a predetermined value, the liquid bag may quickly release sterile physiological saline to expand the inner tube 132, thereby achieving rapid hemostasis and improving hemostasis efficiency.

[0036] Please continue reading Figure 4 , Figure 4 It is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of a hemostatic component of a vascular suturing device according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0037] In some embodiments, the hemostatic member 140 includes a mounting ring 141 and a hemostatic valve core 142. The mounting ring 141 is embedded in the annular groove 136. The hemostatic valve core 142 is disposed in the mounting ring 141. The hemostatic valve core 142 allows a guide wire to pass through, and the hemostatic valve core 142 keeps the hollow channel 135 in a closed state.

[0038] Specifically, the hemostatic valve core 142 includes a plurality of leaflets 1421, which are arranged in a circular array in the mounting ring 141. One end of the leaflet 1421 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting ring 141, and the other end extends toward the center of the mounting ring 141. Adjacent leaflets 1421 overlap each other to form a seal in the hollow channel 135. When the guide wire passes through the hemostatic member 140, the resilience of the plurality of leaflets 1421 makes it close to the guide wire. The middle part of the plurality of leaflets 1421 can be deformed to allow the guide wire to pass through, and its resilience can be close to the guide wire to block the blood flow.

[0039] Among them, multiple leaflets 1421 can form a state of being arched toward the guide wire outlet 134. When the guide wire passes through the hollow channel 135 from the port 133 and contacts the hemostatic valve core 142, the guide wire can more easily push open the leaflets 1421, thereby smoothly passing through the hollow channel 135; and, when the guide wire passes through the hemostatic component 140, the rebound force of the leaflets 1421 can make it easier to stick to the guide wire.

[0040] In order to improve the fit between the leaflets 1421 and the guidewire, the hemostatic valve core 142 may include at least five leaflets 1421, specifically five, six, seven or more leaflets 1421. The leaflets 1421 are made of a flexible material with high resilience.

[0041] Of course, in other embodiments, the hemostatic valve core 142 may also adopt other structures that allow the guide wire to pass through and block the blood flow, which are not listed here one by one.

[0042] It should be noted that the terms "horizontal", "vertical" and the like do not mean that the components are absolutely horizontal or vertical, but can be slightly tilted; the terms "parallel", "vertical" and the like do not mean that the components are absolutely parallel or vertical, but can form a certain angle deviation. For example, "horizontal" only means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical", and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted. In addition, the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise" and the like indicate the orientation or position relationship based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or position relationship in which the product of the present application is usually placed when used, which is only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation to the present application.
