Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to an intracranial balloon dilatation catheter. Background Art

[0002] In modern life, people sometimes develop some physiological diseases in their blood vessels. With the advancement of technology, catheter intervention has gradually become one of the mainstream medical treatment methods. The balloon expansion catheter is mainly composed of a balloon, a catheter and a dilator, and the balloon generally has a balloon pin. The catheter generally includes an inner tube, an outer tube and a head end tube. The head end tube often has better flexibility, thereby avoiding damage to the human body's blood vessels. There are multiple ways to connect the balloon pin, the head end tube and the inner tube, but generally after the connection, an obvious step will be generated between the head end tube and the balloon, so that the step will cause the step to stimulate the inside of the blood vessel when the balloon catheter is used, thereby causing damage to the human body. In addition, when the developed balloon catheter is manufactured, if it is necessary to make a balloon catheter with different flexibility of the head end tube, it is often necessary to redesign and reselect the materials, which brings more difficulties to the design.

[0009] Furthermore, the number of the first limiting groove, the first limiting block, the second limiting groove and the second limiting block are all six, and the number of the transition plates at the transition unit is between 2 and 6.

[0010] Therefore, by selecting different numbers of transition plates, when higher flexibility is required, a smaller number of transition plates are selected; when lower flexibility is required, a larger number of transition plates are selected.

[0011] Furthermore, the first developing ring and the second developing ring are both made of stainless steel.

[0012] Furthermore, the cross-sections of the first plug board, the second plug board and the connecting plate are all arc-shaped.

[0036] The balloon catheter of the present application is shown in the figure.

[0037] During manufacturing, the flexibility of the distal tube can be adjusted by selecting the number of transition plates, depending on the specific specifications of the balloon catheter. For higher flexibility, fewer transition plates can be used, while for lower flexibility, more transition plates can be used. This allows balloon catheters with varying degrees of flexibility to be produced from the same set of components. Once assembled, the transition unit is positioned between the tip tube and the inner tube, with the first pins surrounding the corresponding components and secured in place by laser welding. A pressure sensor is mounted at the end of at least one of the second receptacles. When the tip tube encounters resistance, causing abnormal pressure between the tip tube and the inner wall of a human blood vessel, the corresponding second receptacle presses against the pressure sensor, which is sensed by the pressure sensor and alerts the operator, preventing damage to the vessel caused by the tip tube. The transition unit also features flexibility adjustment and a developing ring, effectively assisting the operator. The two developing rings effectively combine flexibility adjustment and developing functions.

[0038] Although the present invention has been illustrated and described with respect to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined by the claims.
