Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly to a central venous catheter with a coating. Background Art

[0002] As a common medical device, a central venous catheter belongs to a type of intravascular catheter and is placed in a large vein. It is inserted into a patient's vein through a puncture technique, such as the internal jugular vein, for intravenous infusion of the patient. It has been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as central venous pressure monitoring, blood volume maintenance, total parenteral nutrition, injection of rescue drugs and therapeutic drugs, and is particularly suitable for patients who need long-term or multiple infusions of blood and drugs. It can be left in the vein for a long time, which not only avoids the pain caused by repeated venous punctures to the patient, but also greatly facilitates medical staff, reduces medical costs, and has many advantages such as simple operation and convenient use.

[0003] However, the existing central venous catheters also have some problems while providing convenience to doctors and patients. For example, during the catheter indwelling process, it is easy to cause bacterial infections, enabling different types of bacteria to adhere and proliferate on the catheter surface to form a bacterial biofilm, which not only increases the chances of venous infection and phlebitis, thus leading to medical accidents and seriously endangering the patient's life safety, but also greatly limits its application space.

[0004] It is mentioned in CN116334174A that the formation of a biofilm is a mechanism by which bacteria colonize and simultaneously develop resistance to antibacterial drugs. Scanning transmission electron microscopy shows that almost all central venous catheters have microbial colonization embedded in the biofilm matrix. The most common pathogenic bacteria isolated from catheter biofilms are Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Enterococcus faecalis.

[0005] Most central venous puncture patients are critically ill patients, and the puncture sites are mainly loose connective tissues mainly composed of blood vessels, nerves, and fascia, which are extremely prone to microbial infections, leading to severe catheter-related bloodstream infections. Most of these infections are caused by bacteria on the skin surface proliferating and spreading along the central venous catheter, and then invading into the deep venous blood vessels, resulting in hematogenous dissemination and even septicemia. Once a patient is infected, the condition is critical because most of the pathogenic bacteria are drug-resistant bacteria that cause nosocomial infections. Such bacteria are resistant to multiple antibiotics and are prone to misdiagnosis.

[0006] Preventing the formation of biofilms is a key step in preventing catheter-related infections. The most direct and effective method is to perform surface antibacterial modification on the central venous catheter so that microorganisms cannot adhere, reproduce, and form biofilms on the catheter surface. To solve this problem, some solutions are provided by the prior art: CN107802941B proposes loading anti-infective drugs penicillin or macrolide on the main body of the catheter, but this method will face the problem of bacterial drug resistance; CN111228576A proposes using chlorhexidine as an antibacterial agent, but it has the safety risk of small molecule precipitation. In addition, CN106110471A discloses a method of adding a zirconium phosphate silver-loaded antibacterial masterbatch to the surface layer of the tube body, but silver ions, as heavy metals, are likely to enter the human body and cause risks.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new technology to achieve a long-acting antibacterial and non-toxic antibacterial central venous catheter.

[0008] Solution for solving problems

[0009] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a central venous catheter with a coating.

[0010] It includes a catheter body, a tip, a connector, an extension tube, and an extension tube joint. The tip is located at one end of the catheter body, the other end of the catheter body is connected to the connector, and the joint is connected to the connector through the extension tube. Among them, the catheter body is made of polyurethane material, and an antibacterial coating is formed on the catheter body and the tip. The antibacterial coating is formed by photocuring a coating composition, and the coating composition is composed of a cationic guanidine salt copolymer and at least one hydrophilic polyurethane.

[0011] Further, the central venous catheter has a single-lumen, double-lumen, or multi-lumen structure. When the central venous catheter has a single lumen, the connector is cylindrical. When the central venous catheter has a double-lumen or multi-lumen structure, the connector has an arc shape in the cross-section along the length extension direction of the catheter near the catheter body part.

[0012] Further, the cationic guanidine salt copolymer is obtained by living radical polymerization of polymerizable guanidine monomers, polymerizable Norrish I-type photosensitive monomers, and polymerizable Norrish II-type photosensitive monomers.

[0013] Further, the polymerizable guanidine monomer has a structure shown in the following general formula (Ⅰ) or general formula (Ⅱ):

[0014] (Ⅰ)

[0015] (Ⅱ)

[0016] Among them, n is selected from integers from 8 to 15, and m is selected from integers from 2 to 6;

[0017] Furthermore, the polymerizable Norrish type I photosensitive monomer is selected from at least one of benzil acrylate, aryl ketone acrylate, and acylphosphine oxide acrylate; the polymerizable Norrish type II photosensitive monomer is selected from at least one of benzophenone acrylate, thioxanthone acrylate, and camphorquinone acrylate; the hydrophilic polyurethane is selected from at least one of waterborne cationic polyurethane, waterborne anionic polyurethane, and waterborne nonionic polyurethane.

[0018] Furthermore, the extension tube joint is made of hard polymer material.

[0019] Furthermore, the tip is a soft tip.

[0020] Furthermore, the catheter body, tip, connection seat, and extension tube are all made of polyurethane material.

[0021] Furthermore, the extension tube is provided with a sliding buckle, and the sliding buckle is made of hard polymer material.

[0022] Furthermore, when the central venous catheter is of a double-lumen or multi-lumen structure, it has a distal lumen, an intermediate lumen, and a proximal lumen.

The connection seat used in the central venous catheter of the present invention is circular or arc-shaped in the cross-section along the length direction, especially the part close to the catheter body is arc-shaped, and the contact surface with the patient is circular arc-shaped, effectively ensuring safety and comfort during use when contacting the human body, and not easily causing indentation, damage, and friction near the access port.

[0025] 2. The coating composition of the present invention uses guanidine-based cationic groups, which can interact with negatively charged bacterial cells, destroy the structure of the bacterial cell membrane, inhibit the integrity of the cell membrane, thereby causing the death of bacteria, and there will be no problem of drug resistance and it can be used for a long time;

[0026] 3. The guanidine substance in the coating composition of the present invention forms a macromolecular polymer of guanidine salt by copolymerizing with the photosensitive monomer. This macromolecular polymer can be firmly bonded to the substrate surface through covalent bonds of the photosensitive group, and at the same time, a cross-linked structure is formed inside the coating, there will be no problem of small molecule precipitation, and it is safe for the human body;

[0027] 4. The coating composition of the present invention uses hydrophilic polyurethane with good biocompatibility, which can effectively enhance the bonding force between the coating and the polyurethane substrate, greatly enhance the firmness of the coating while ensuring functionality, and avoid other medical injuries caused by coating peeling off;

[0028] 5. The cationic guanidine salt copolymer used in the coating composition of the present invention simultaneously contains Norrish type I photosensitive structure and Norrish type II photosensitive structure, which further improves the firmness between the coating and the substrate and within the coating.

The antibacterial coating is formed by photocuring a coating composition, wherein the coating composition is composed of a cationic guanidine salt copolymer and at least one hydrophilic polyurethane.

[0055] Guanidine antibacterial substances have strong broad-spectrum antibacterial effects and can inhibit the growth of a variety of bacteria, fungi and viruses, especially Gram-negative bacteria (such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Gram-positive bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus). Guanidine antibacterial substances can interact with negatively charged bacterial cells, destroy the structure of bacterial cell membranes, inhibit the integrity of cell membranes, and thus lead to bacterial death.

[0056] In the present invention, a hydrophilic polyurethane with good biocompatibility is selected and compounded with a cationic guanidine salt copolymer to form an antibacterial coating. As a part of the coating composition, the hydrophilic polyurethane can significantly improve the adhesion and firmness between the coating and the tube body by enhancing the interface affinity with the polyurethane substrate of the tube body, hydrogen bonding, and improving wettability. At the same time, the introduction of the hydrophilic polyurethane can further improve the water phase dispersibility and coating stability of the coating, and avoid cracking or shedding of the coating during the drying process.

[0057] As a preferred embodiment, the cationic guanidine salt copolymer is obtained by polymerizing a polymerizable guanidine monomer, a polymerizable Norrish I type photosensitive monomer, and a polymerizable Norrish II type photosensitive monomer through living free radical polymerization.

[0058] In the present invention, the antibacterial guanidine substance is copolymerized with the photosensitive monomer to form a macromolecular polymer of guanidine salt, which can be firmly bonded to the surface of the substrate through the covalent bond of the photosensitive group, and at the same time form a cross-linked structure inside the coating, avoiding the problem of small molecule precipitation, and is safe for the human body. In addition, the cationic guanidine salt copolymer in the present invention contains both Norrish I type photosensitive structure and Norrish II type photosensitive structure, and the different photoreaction mechanisms of the two photosensitive structures are complemented to further improve the firmness of the coating and the substrate and the inside of the coating.

[0059] In certain preferred methods, the polymerizable guanidine monomer has a structure represented by the following general formula (I) or (II):

[0060] (Ⅰ)

[0061] (Ⅱ)

[0062] Wherein, n is selected from integers from 8 to 15, and m is selected from integers from 2 to 6;

[0063] In some embodiments, the polymerizable guanidine monomer is a compound containing a biguanide group, which is mainly obtained by reacting the biguanide group with a double-bond-containing monomer structure including a desired linking group. Preferably, it can be obtained by a reaction on the biguanide group (such as in General Formula I) or by a reaction on the end group of the biguanide backbone (such as in General Formula II).

Add 500 μL of liquid medium to soak the samples, shake well and soak for 10 min, collect the bacteria by ultrasound (150 w) for 1 minute (stop for 5 seconds every 10 seconds of ultrasound), serially dilute them by 1:100 and 1:500 and then spread them on plates. Place them in a 37°C constant temperature incubator overnight, take pictures, and count the number of colonies on the plates.

[0098] Verify the antibacterial effects of the catheter against two kinds of bacteria, Escherichia coli (E.coil) and Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus), use the plate spreading method to count the number of colonies, compare with the uncoated catheter, and verify its antibacterial effect. The test results are shown in the following table.

[0099]

[0100] It can be seen from the experimental data that the antibacterial coating of the present invention has excellent antibacterial performance and can achieve very good antibacterial effects against both Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria. In Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, due to the lack of photoinitiator and hydrophilic polyurethane respectively, the antibacterial effect of the coating may be reduced due to the decrease in coating binding.

[0101] <Test adhesion performance>

[0102] Firmness tests were conducted on Example 1, Example 2, and Comparative Examples 1-3. The firmness test method referred to TCSBME021-2020 "Evaluation Method for the Lubricating Performance of Hydrophilic Coatings on Catheters": The test was carried out using a friction tester in a water bath environment at (37±2)°C. The tube body was kept vertical, the sample was immersed in water, and the sample was clamped with a silicone sheet with a hardness of (55±2)A. The clamping force was 3N, the running speed was 10mm / s, the immersion time was 60s, the number of friction cycles was 5 times, and the test distance was 100 mm.

[0103] The test results are as Figures 5 - 9 shown.

[0104] It can be seen from the experimental data that the antibacterial coating of the present invention has excellent coating firmness, and the friction coefficient still remains close to the initial state without significant increase after 5 friction cycles. In Comparative Examples 1, 2, and 3, the coating firmness decreased due to the lack of Norrish I type / Norrish II type photoinitiator and hydrophilic polyurethane, respectively, which was specifically manifested as an increase in the friction coefficient with the increase in the number of friction cycles.
