Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of urinary catheters, in particular to a self-pressure-relief safe urinary catheter. BACKGROUND
[0002] A urinary catheter is a medical consumable, usually made of silicone, latex or polyurethane, etc. materials, mainly used to drain urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. The urinary catheter is usually used in cases where the patient cannot urinate normally or has difficulty urinating, such as urinary retention, before and after surgery, postpartum recovery, urethral or bladder disease, long-term bedridden, coma and urinary incontinence, etc. In these cases, the urinary catheter can help the patient to empty the urine in the bladder, preventing complications such as overfilling of the bladder, pain and infection caused by urine retention.
[0003] The urinary catheter commonly used in clinical practice is a double-lumen urinary catheter, as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the double-lumen urinary catheter is usually composed of a head-end tube 01, a balloon 02, a urinary catheter main tube 03, a urine bag connecting tube 04 and a water injection tube 05, wherein the head-end tube 01 is designed with a smooth tip to reduce resistance during insertion; the balloon 02 is used to fix the urinary catheter in the bladder to prevent disengagement; the urinary catheter main tube 03 is soft and has a certain flexibility to adapt to the curvature of the urethra; the urine bag connecting tube 04 is used to connect the urine bag; the water injection tube 05 is used to inject water into the balloon 02. The operation steps for using the double-lumen urinary catheter in patients are as follows: apply appropriate lubricating oil or paraffin oil on the surface of the urinary catheter to reduce friction and pain during insertion; hold the urinary catheter with forceps and gently insert it into the urethral orifice and into the bladder until urine flows out; after the urinary catheter is completely inserted, inject an appropriate amount of sterile normal saline into the balloon 02 through the water injection tube 05 to make the balloon 02 expand and fix at the urethral orifice. Although the double-lumen urinary catheter is commonly used in clinical practice, there are still certain safety hazards. When the urinary catheter is inserted in place, the balloon 02 is inflated by injecting normal saline into it through the water injection tube 05 to be clamped at the junction of the bladder and the urethra. If the patient accidentally pulls the urinary catheter outward (usually a momentary outward pull with greater force), the inflated balloon 02 quickly enters the urethra or is directly pulled out of the body through the urethra under the action of the pulling force, which can cause excessive compression of the urethral mucosa and cause urethral injury or urethral laceration, causing serious harm to the patient (as shown in Figure 11 ).
[0004] Therefore, how to design a urinary catheter that can avoid or reduce urethral injury or urethral laceration when the urinary catheter is accidentally pulled is a technical problem that has not been solved in the prior art. SUMMARY

There is also a situation of slow pulling of the urinary catheter causing injury (commonly seen in patients with impaired consciousness), when slowly pulling, the elastic connecting tube is difficult to deform, and the water in the balloon tube can be discharged from the overflow valve, and after discharge, the outer diameter of the balloon tube can be reduced to not damage the urethra, preventing the urinary catheter from being pulled by slow external force and causing damage to the urethra of the patient.

[0058] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments. Embodiments
[0059] The present embodiment provides a self-pressure relief safety catheter, which comprises a main tube 1, an insertion tube 6, an elastic connecting tube 5 and a balloon tube 2, as shown in FIGS. 1-5. Figures 1-3 The main tube 1 is internally formed with a first lumen 11, a second lumen 12 and a third lumen 13 which are not communicated with each other; the insertion tube 6 is internally formed with a cannula lumen 61, and an outer wall thereof is formed with a flow guide hole 62 which is communicated with the cannula lumen 61; the elastic connecting tube 5 is communicated with the first lumen 11 and the cannula lumen 61; the balloon tube 2 is sleeved outside the elastic connecting tube 5 and connected between the main tube 1 and the insertion tube 6, and is communicated with the second lumen 12 and the third lumen 13; the tail end of the main tube 1 is formed with a first connecting tube 14, a second connecting tube 15 and a third connecting tube 16, the first connecting tube 14 is communicated with the first lumen 11 and used for connecting a urine bag, the second connecting tube 15 is communicated with the second lumen 12 and provided at the tail end with a one-way valve 3, and the third connecting tube 16 is communicated with the third lumen 13 and provided at the tail end with an overflow valve 4.
[0060] In the initial state, the outer wall of the balloon tube 2 is substantially flush with the outer walls of the main tube 1 and the insertion tube 6. When using the self-pressure relief safety urinary catheter of the present embodiment on a patient, first apply appropriate lubricating oil or paraffin oil on the surface of the urinary catheter to reduce friction and pain during insertion, then hold the urinary catheter with a forceps and gently insert it into the urethral orifice and into the bladder until urine flows out; after insertion, use a syringe to inject water into the balloon tube 2 through the second connecting tube 15 and the second lumen 12, so that the balloon tube 2 expands and is fixed at the urethral orifice; during use, if the main tube 1 is pulled by mistake, the elastic connecting tube 5 quickly elongates, the maximum outer diameter of the water-filled balloon tube 2 quickly decreases, and the water in the balloon tube 2 quickly overflows through the third lumen 13, the third connecting tube 16, and the overflow valve 4, so that the balloon tube 2 returns to the initial state.
[0061] The self-pressure relief safety urinary catheter of the present embodiment can quickly respond when the main tube 1 is pulled by mistake, quickly reduce the maximum outer diameter of the balloon tube 2, and timely overflow and discharge the water in the balloon tube 2. After the outer diameter of the balloon tube 2 is quickly reduced, the extrusion of the balloon tube 2 on the urethral mucosa is reduced, which can avoid the occurrence of serious complications such as urethral injury or tearing caused by accidental pulling of the urinary catheter, and improve the safety and reliability of the use of the urinary catheter.
[0062] As shown in Figures 4-5 , the part forming the first lumen 11 is outwardly convex to form a first connecting portion 17, and the part forming the insertion tube lumen 61 is outwardly convex to form a second connecting portion 63, and the two ends of the elastic connecting tube 5 are respectively sleeved and fixedly connected on the first connecting portion 17 and the second connecting portion 63.
[0063] The end of the main tube 1 is formed with a first annular step 18, the end of the insertion tube 6 is formed with a second annular step 64, and the two ends of the balloon tube 2 are respectively sleeved and fixedly connected on the first annular step 18 and the second annular step 64. When the balloon tube 2 is fixed on the main tube 1 and the insertion tube 6, the outer wall at the connection is formed as a flat horizontal surface, which ensures safety, comfort, and smoothness during use, and can avoid discomfort or potential risks caused by uneven surfaces.
[0064] The two ends of the elastic connecting tube 5 are respectively connected with the first connecting portion 17 and the second connecting portion 63 by adhesive connection; the two ends of the balloon tube 2 are respectively connected with the first annular step 18 and the second annular step 64 by adhesive connection. The adhesive connection has good sealing performance, which can avoid liquid leakage and improve the safety during use.
[0065] As shown in Figure 5As shown, the elastic connecting tube 5 is internally provided with a spiral support frame 51 which is not retractable after being stretched. This characteristic of the spiral support frame 51 enables the spiral support frame 51 to maintain the stretched state after being stretched due to external force, thereby maintaining the outer diameter of the balloon tube 2 in a small range, avoiding accidental injury to the human body caused by sudden rebound of the elastic connecting tube 5, and improving the safety of use.
[0066] As shown in the drawings, Figure 6 As shown, the overflow valve 4 comprises an overflow valve cover 41, an overflow sealing element 44 and an overflow elastic element 45; wherein the overflow valve cover 41 has a cylindrical inner cavity 42, is installed on the third connecting tube 16, and the side wall near the third connecting tube 16 is provided with an overflow hole 43; the overflow sealing element 44 is installed inside the cylindrical inner cavity 42, the top end can be inserted into the water outlet of the third connecting tube 16, and can seal the water outlet; the overflow elastic element 45 is installed inside the cylindrical inner cavity 42, one end abuts against the bottom wall of the cylindrical inner cavity 42, and the other end abuts against the bottom of the overflow sealing element 44; when the water pressure in the third connecting tube 16 is lower than the set value, the overflow sealing element 44 is pressed and sealed by the overflow elastic element 45; when the water pressure in the third connecting tube 16 is higher than the set value, the water flow pushes away the overflow sealing element 44 and flows out through the overflow hole 43.
[0067] By scientifically and reasonably selecting and optimizing the elastic material of the balloon tube 2 and reasonably matching the overflow pressure of the overflow valve 4, the size of the balloon tube 2 after inflation in the bladder can be accurately controlled; when the inflation degree of the balloon tube 2 exceeds the preset range, the water flow will automatically discharge outward through the overflow valve 4, thereby ensuring that the inflation size of the balloon tube in the bladder is within a reasonable range. There is also a situation of injury caused by slowly pulling the urinary catheter (commonly seen in patients with blurred consciousness), and the elastic connecting tube is difficult to deform when slowly pulled. The water in the balloon tube 2 can be discharged from the overflow valve 4, and the outer diameter of the balloon tube 2 can be reduced to not damage the urethra after discharge, preventing the urinary catheter from being damaged due to the slow external force pulling the urinary catheter.
[0068] As shown in the drawings, Figures 7-8As shown, the one-way valve 3 comprises a one-way valve pipe 31, a first inner flange 34, a one-way valve core 7 and a valve core cap 8; wherein the one-way valve pipe 31 is hollow and has two open ends, one end being a liquid inlet end 32 and the other end being a liquid outlet end 33; the first inner flange 34 is formed on the inner wall of the one-way valve pipe 31, separating the inner cavity of the one-way valve pipe 31 into a first inner cavity 35 and a second inner cavity 36; a communication hole 37 is formed in the middle of the first inner flange 34, communicating the first inner cavity 35 and the second inner cavity 36; the one-way valve core 7 comprises a valve core rod 71 and a first outer flange 72 formed on the outer wall of the valve core rod 71, a part of the valve core rod 71 and the first outer flange 72 being installed inside the second inner cavity 36 through an elastic member 73; the other part of the valve core rod 71 extends into the first inner cavity 35 through the communication hole 37; under the elastic force of the elastic member 73, the first outer flange 72 abuts against the first inner flange 34 to realize sealing contact; a stepped blocking portion 38 is formed at the opening of the second inner cavity 36, one end of the elastic member 73 abutting against the stepped blocking portion 38 and the other end abutting against the first outer flange 72; the valve core cap 8 is sleeved and installed at the end of the valve core rod 71 inside the first inner cavity 35; one end of the valve core cap 8 towards the communication hole 37 has a second outer flange 81 in sliding sealing contact with the inner wall of the first inner cavity 35, and the other end is provided with a liquid inlet hole 82. When water is injected into the airbag tube 2, the injection nozzle of the syringe is extended from the liquid inlet end 32 of the one-way valve pipe 31 to abut against the valve core cap 8 and push the valve core cap 8 inward, the valve core cap 8 and the valve core rod 71 fixedly connected therewith jointly extrude the elastic member 73 to retract, thereby releasing the sealing of the first inner cavity 35 and the second inner cavity 36, allowing the first inner cavity 35 and the second inner cavity 36 to communicate and allowing water flow to pass; then the syringe is operated to inject water, the water flows through the liquid inlet hole 82, the first inner cavity 35, the second inner cavity 36, the liquid outlet end 32, enters the second connecting pipe 15, and then flows from the second connecting pipe 15 to the second lumen 12, and finally enters the airbag tube 2, so as to inflate the airbag tube 2.
[0069] The first inner cavity 35 is cylindrical, the inner diameter thereof being substantially the same as or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the injection nozzle of the syringe; the end face of the end of the valve core cap 8 provided with the liquid inlet hole 82 can block the injection nozzle of the syringe from the circumferential direction, so that water from the syringe can be injected through the liquid inlet hole 82 without leakage.
[0070] As Figure 8As shown, the valve core rod 71 is a triangular prism structure, the liquid inlet hole 82 is arranged at a position of the valve core cap 8 which is not covered by the end face of the valve core rod 71; the three edges of the valve core rod 71 are in sliding contact with the inner wall of the communication hole 37; the three edges of the valve core rod 71 are in sliding contact with the inner wall of the outer outlet 39 of the second inner cavity 36 provided with the stepped blocking part 38; the end of the first outer flange 72 towards the communication hole 37 is provided with a sealing gasket 9. The valve core rod 71 adopts the structure design of triangular prism, so that the valve core rod 71 can be stably fixed in the interior of the one-way valve pipe 31, avoiding the occurrence of the shaking phenomenon, and also allowing the smooth flow of water flow.
[0071] The self-pressure relief safety catheter in the embodiment is used as follows: in the initial state, the outer wall of the air bag tube 2 is basically flush with the outer walls of the main body tube 1 and the insertion tube 6. When the self-pressure relief safety catheter in the embodiment is used for a patient, appropriate lubricating oil or paraffin oil is first applied on the surface of the catheter to reduce friction and pain during insertion, then the catheter is held by forceps and gently inserted into the urethral orifice and into the bladder until urine flows out; after being inserted in place, the injection nozzle of the syringe is extended from the liquid inlet end 32 of the one-way valve pipe 31 to abut against the valve core cap 8, and the valve core cap 8 is pushed inward, the valve core cap 8 and the valve core rod 71 fixedly connected therewith jointly extrude the elastic member 73 to retract, thereby unsealing the first inner cavity 35 and the second inner cavity 36, allowing the first inner cavity 35 and the second inner cavity 36 to communicate and allowing water flow to pass; then the syringe is operated to inject water, the water flows through the liquid inlet hole 82, the first inner cavity 35, the second inner cavity 36, the liquid outlet end 32, enters the second connecting tube 15, and then flows from the second connecting tube 15 to the second lumen 12, and finally enters the air bag tube 2, so that the air bag tube 2 is inflated and fixed at the urethral orifice of the bladder; during the catheterization process, if the main body tube 1 is pulled by mistake, the elastic connecting tube 5 is quickly elongated, the maximum outer diameter of the air bag tube 2 after water injection is quickly reduced, and the water in the air bag tube 2 flows through the third lumen 13 and the third connecting tube 16 to the overflow valve 4, and pushes the overflow sealing member 44 to move downward to open the overflow hole 43, so that the water quickly overflows from the overflow hole 43, so that the air bag tube 2 returns to the initial state.
[0072] Obviously, the above embodiment is only an example for clear illustration, but not a limitation on the embodiments. Based on the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can be made by those skilled in the art. Here, all the embodiments need not and cannot be exhausted. The changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the technical scheme.

The insertion tube (6) has an insertion cavity (61) inside and a flow guide hole (62) communicating with the insertion cavity (61) on the outer wall. An elastic connecting tube (5) connects the first tube cavity (11) and the insertion tube cavity (61). The elastic connecting tube (5) is provided with a spiral support frame (51) inside. The spiral support frame (51) cannot be retracted after being stretched. An airbag tube (2) is sleeved on the outside of the elastic connecting tube (5) and connected between the main tube (1) and the insertion tube (6), communicating with the second cavity (12) and the third cavity (13); the end of the main tube (1) has a first annular step (18), and the end of the insertion tube (6) has a second annular step (64). The two ends of the airbag tube (2) are respectively sleeved and fixedly connected to the first annular step (18) and the second annular step (64), so that the outer wall of the connection remains flat. The main tube (1) has a first connecting tube (14), a second connecting tube (15) and a third connecting tube (16) at its tail end. The first connecting tube (14) is connected to the first tube cavity (11) and is used to connect the urine bag. The second connecting tube (15) is connected to the second tube cavity (12) and has a one-way valve (3) at its tail end. The one-way valve (3) includes a one-way valve tube (31), a first inner flange (34), a one-way valve core (7) and a valve core cap (8). The first inner flange (34) separates the one-way valve tube (31) into a first inner cavity (35) and a second inner cavity (36). The valve core rod (71) of the one-way valve core (7) is a triangular prism structure, and its three edges slide in contact with the connecting hole (37) and / or the inner wall of the outlet of the second inner cavity (36). The second outer flange of the valve core cap (8) slides and seals with the first inner cavity (35), and the other end is provided with an inlet hole (82). The third connecting pipe (16) is connected to the third pipe cavity (13) and is provided with an overflow valve (4) at its tail end. The overflow valve (4) includes an overflow valve cover (41), an overflow seal (44) and an overflow elastic element (45). The top of the overflow seal (44) is inserted into the outlet of the third connecting pipe (16) and presses against it to seal. When the water pressure is higher than the set value, the water flow will break the seal and overflow through the overflow hole (43). In the initial state, the outer wall of the airbag tube (2) is basically flush with the outer walls of the main tube (1) and the insertion tube (6); After insertion, water is injected into the airbag tube (2) through the second connecting tube (15) and the second lumen (12), and the airbag tube (2) inflates. When the main tube (1) is pulled by mistake, the elastic connecting tube (5) is quickly stretched, the maximum outer diameter of the airbag tube (2) after water injection is quickly reduced, and the water inside the airbag tube (2) overflows quickly through the third tube (13), the third connecting tube (16) and the overflow valve (4); The elastic material of the balloon tube (2) and the overflow pressure of the overflow valve (4) are reasonably matched, which can accurately control the size of the balloon tube (2) after it expands in the bladder; when the expansion degree of the balloon tube (2) exceeds the preset range, the water will automatically be discharged out through the overflow valve (4), thereby ensuring that the expansion size of the balloon tube (2) in the bladder is within a reasonable range, which is such that it can prevent the catheter from slipping out and the volume is not too much larger than the urethral opening; When slowly pulled, the elastic connecting tube (5) is difficult to deform, and the water in the balloon tube (2) can be discharged from the overflow valve (4). After discharge, the outer diameter of the balloon tube (2) can be reduced to not damage the urethra, thus preventing the urinary catheter from being damaged by slow external force.
2. The self-relieving safety catheter according to claim 1, characterized in that: The portion forming the first lumen (11) protrudes outward to form the first connecting part (17), and the portion forming the insertion lumen (61) protrudes outward to form the second connecting part (63). The two ends of the elastic connecting tube (5) are respectively sleeved and fixedly connected to the first connecting part (17) and the second connecting part (63).
3. The self-relieving safety catheter according to claim 2, characterized in that: The two ends of the elastic connecting tube (5) are respectively bonded to the first connecting part (17) and the second connecting part (63); And / or, the two ends of the airbag tube (2) are respectively bonded to the first annular step (18) and the second annular step (64).
