[0038] In the description of this application, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0039] Reference Figure 1The first aspect of the present application provides an embolic protection structure 5, including a mesh tube body, which is woven from a plurality of braided wires, wherein the braided wires are made of one of nickel-titanium, stainless steel, and a degradable polymer.

[0040] Specifically, the net pipe body includes a first braided segment 53, a second braided segment 52, a third braided segment 54 and a fourth braided segment 55. The first braided segment 53, the third braided segment 54 and the fourth braided segment 55 are all hollow cylindrical, which is convenient for braiding; the diameter of the fourth braided segment 55 is smaller than the diameter of the first braided segment 53, the second braided segment 52 is a cone shape, the end of the second braided segment 52 with a larger diameter is connected to the third braided segment 54, and the end of the braided segment with a smaller diameter is connected to the first braided segment 53, and the several braided wires between the third braided segment 54 and the fourth braided segment 55 are divided into at least three parts, and each part of the braided wire is shaped into a wire bundle 51, so that a number of fishing holes connected to the inside of the third braided segment 54 are formed between the third braided segment 54 and the fourth braided segment 55.

[0041] By providing a straight third braided segment 54 between the second braided segment 52 and the filament bundle 51 for connection, the straight third braided segment 54 can provide better support force to prevent the embolic protection structure 5 from being displaced in the blood vessel during use.

[0042] During the weaving process, the mesh of the second weaving section 52 in a frustum shape can be woven smaller, which has a better effect of capturing broken thrombi during the operation.

[0043] Among them, the wire bundle 51 formed by the braided wires being evenly divided and shaped can reduce the pushing force during the operation and the withdrawing force from the blood vessel after the operation, which facilitates the smooth progress of the operation and reduces the difficulty of the surgical operation.

[0044] In addition, the optimized embolic protection structure 5, the cone-shaped second braiding segment 52 and the straight third braiding segment 54 make the braiding preparation more convenient, and the setting of the wire bundle 51 and the fishing hole also makes the heat setting process of the embolic protection structure 5 of the present application more convenient, which reduces the difficulty of preparation and also makes the formed embolic protection structure 5 have a more stable structure.

[0045] The processing process is divided into two steps: weaving and heat setting, which can adjust the shape of the embolic protection structure 5 to make the position of the wire bundle and the distribution of the weaving wire more uniform and neat, thereby reducing the pushing force during the operation and the retracting force from the blood vessel after the operation.

[0046] In a specific embodiment of the present application, a plurality of bundles of wires 51 are arranged in a circular array with the central axis of the embolic protection structure 5 as the center, such as Figure 1 As shown, a total of four bundles 51 are provided.

[0047] In addition, during the preparation process of the embolic protection structure 5 of the present application, weaving and heat setting are carried out separately, so that the shape of the embolic protection structure 5 can be adjusted, and the distribution of the filament bundle 51 can be more uniform and neat. The uniform and neat embolic protection structure 5 can reduce the pushing force during the operation and the withdrawal force from the blood vessel after the operation, thereby facilitating the smooth progress of the operation.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the second embodiment of the present application provides a shaping tool, including a first shaping piece 1 and a second shaping piece.

[0049] Among them, Figure 3 As shown, the first shaping member 1 includes a first shaping portion 11, a second shaping portion 13 and a third shaping portion 14, the first shaping portion 11 is used to assist in weaving an unshaped first weaving segment 53, the second shaping portion 13 is used to assist in weaving an unshaped second weaving segment 52, the third shaping portion 14 is used to assist in weaving an unshaped third weaving segment 54, and a plurality of fourth shaping portions 2 are detachably connected to the third shaping portion 14, and the fourth shaping portion 2 is used to evenly divide a plurality of weaving wires in the weaving process of the unshaped third weaving segment 54 to form at least three weaving strands.

[0050] Specifically, the first shaping portion 11 and the third shaping portion 14 are both cylindrical, and the second shaping portion 13 is frustum-shaped.

[0051] The number of fourth shaping portions 2 is consistent with the number of wire bundles 51. Because a plurality of wire bundles 51 are arranged in a circular array, a plurality of fourth shaping portions 2 are also arranged in a circular array.

[0052] like Figure 7 As shown, the second shaping member includes a first core portion 3 and a second core portion 62, the first core portion 3 and the second core portion 62 are detachably connected, and a shaping structure is provided at the joint between the first core portion 3 and the second core portion 62, the first core portion 3 is used to assist in shaping the first braided segment 53 and the second braided segment 52, separated by braided strands, and the unshaped third braided segment 54 is divided into two parts, one part is shaped with the assistance of the first core portion 3, and the other part is shaped with the assistance of the second core 62 to form a fourth braided segment 55, and the shaping structure is used to assist in shaping the braided strands into a yarn bundle 51.

[0053] Specifically, the outer surface shape of the first shaping portion 11 is adapted to the inner surface shape of the first weaving segment 53, the outer surface shape of the second shaping portion 13 is adapted to the inner surface shape of the second weaving segment 52, and the shape of the third shaping portion 14 is adapted to the inner surface shape of the third weaving segment 54, making the weaving process more convenient.

[0054] At the same time, the setting of the fourth shaping part 2 makes it convenient to divide the braided wire into several braided strands. Since the fourth shaping part 2 is configured to be detachable, the first shaping part 1 can be more easily removed after the braiding is completed; the first core part 3 is configured to adapt to the shaping of the first braiding segment 53, the second braiding segment 52 and the third braiding segment 54, and the second core part 62 is configured to be separable from the first core part 3, which is convenient for separation from the embolic protection structure 5 after shaping, and the use of the shaping tooling for weaving and shaping the embolic protection structure 5 can greatly improve the braiding efficiency and shaping efficiency, and the formed embolic protection structure 5 also has a stable shape.

[0055] The weaving process is as follows: after fixing a number of weaving wires on the third shaping portion 14, the weaving wires are weaved in the direction toward the first shaping portion 11 to form a portion of unshaped third weaving segment 54, and the weaving is stopped when it approaches the fourth shaping portion 2. With the assistance of the fourth shaping portion 2, the weaving wires are evenly divided into at least three weaving strands, and the weaving wires in the fourth shaping portion 2 are not weaved.

[0056] After the weaving is completed, the braiding wire continues to be woven toward the first shaping portion 11 to sequentially form another part of the unshaped third braiding segment 54, the unshaped second braiding segment 52 and the unshaped first braiding segment 53. During the weaving process of the third braiding segment 54, the braiding wire is close to the third shaping portion 14; during the weaving process of the second braiding segment 52, the braiding wire fits the second shaping portion 13, and the weaving density of the second braiding segment 52 is denser, so that the formed mesh is smaller, so as to have a better fishing effect; during the weaving process of the first braiding segment 53, the braiding wire fits the first shaping portion 11.

[0057] in, Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of preparing an unshaped embolic protection structure 5 by using a first shaped member 1. The structure of the unshaped embolic protection structure 5 is as follows: Figure 6 shown.

[0058] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is understood that the third shaped portion 14 is provided with a first mounting hole 12 for plugging and connecting the fourth shaped portion 2, and the fourth shaped portion 2 and the mounting hole are interference fit, or the fourth shaped portion 2 and the mounting hole are bonded with glue to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the fourth shaped portion 2.

[0059] Among them, Figure 4 The shape of the fourth shaping portion 2 is shown. The shape of the fourth shaping portion 2 is a plate. Both sides of the plate close to the braided strands are processed with arc transitions to avoid scratching and damaging the braided wire.

[0060] in, Figure 7 It is a schematic diagram of heat-setting the unshaped embolic protection structure 5 by the second shaping member.

[0061] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 8 It is understood that the first core portion 3 includes a first shaping segment 31, a second shaping segment 32 and a third shaping segment 33. The first shaping segment 31 is a cylinder adapted to the inner diameter of the first braiding segment 53, the second shaping segment 32 is a first cone adapted to the inner wall of the second braiding segment 52, and the third shaping segment 33 is a cylinder adapted to the inner diameter of the third braiding segment 54, which facilitates the shaping of the embolic protection structure 5.

[0062] The end of the third shaping section 33 is provided with a second cone 35, and the second cone 35 is provided with a plurality of shaping grooves 351 adapted to the filament bundle 51, and the shaping grooves 351 are formed into a shaping structure. The shaping of the filament bundle 51 is achieved through the shaping structure.

[0063] Since the filament bundles 51 are evenly distributed in a circular array, the plurality of shaping grooves 351 are also distributed in a circular array.

[0064] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the second shaping member also includes a third core portion 61, which is detachably connected to the third shaping section 33. The number of third core portions 61 is consistent with the number of shaping grooves 351, and the third core portion 61 is used for separating and shaping the end braided wires of the wire bundle 51.

[0065] When the braided strands are placed into the shaping groove 351, the third core portion 61 passes through the middle of several braided wires at the end of the braided strands (that is, the number of braided wires on both sides of the third core portion 61 is the same), and the third core portion 61 and the shaping groove 351 of the same group are in the same plane.

[0066] Before heat setting, the third core 61 can be used to adjust the shape of the transition portion of the braided strands close to the third braiding segment 54 appropriately, so as to avoid entanglement and knotting of the braided wire when it changes from the braided state to the stranded state.

[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the third shaping section 33 is provided with a third mounting hole 34 for the third core 61 to be inserted into, and the third core 61 and the third mounting hole 34 are interference fit, or the third core 61 and the third mounting hole 34 are bonded by glue, so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the third core 61.

[0068] In some specific embodiments, the second core portion 62 is a cylinder adapted to the inner diameter of the fourth braiding segment 55, and the end of the first core portion 3 is provided with a second mounting hole 352 for plugging and connecting the second core portion 62. The second core portion 62 and the second mounting hole 352 are interference fit, or the second core portion 62 and the second mounting hole 352 are bonded to each other with glue, so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the second core portion 62.

[0069] In some embodiments, the first shaping member 1 and the second shaping member are both made of stainless steel.

[0070] The third aspect of the present application also provides a method for preparing the embolic protection structure 5. Based on the above-mentioned shaping tooling, the specific preparation steps are as follows:

[0071] After fixing a plurality of braided wires to the third shaping portion 14, the braided wires are braided in a direction toward the first shaping portion 11 to form a portion of an unshaped third braided segment 54, and the braiding is stopped when it is close to the fourth shaping portion 2, so that the braided wires are evenly divided into at least three braided strands, and then the braided wires continue to be braided in a direction toward the first shaping portion 11 to sequentially form another portion of an unshaped third braided segment 54, an unshaped second braided segment 52, and an unshaped first braided segment 53;

[0072] Separate the fourth shaping portion 2 from the third shaping portion 14, and remove the remaining portion of the first shaping member 1 from the unshaped third braided segment 54;

[0073] Put the first core 3 into the unshaped third shaping part 14, and after the second shaping part is in place, make the braided strands close to the shaping structure, adjust the unshaped third braided segment 54 aligned with the second core 62, shrink the unshaped third braided segment 54 to fit the second core 62, and set the third filament 73 on the outer surface of the shrunk third braided segment 54 to assist shaping;

[0074] After high-temperature heating and shaping, the second core part 62 is separated from the first core part 3, and the first core part 3 is pulled out of the fishing hole.

[0075] Furthermore, the braiding wire is in close contact with the surface of the first molding part 1 during the weaving process, and in close contact with the surface of the second molding part during the heat setting process, wherein, during the weaving process of the braiding wire in the direction toward the first molding part 11, the weaving is stopped when the weaving position of the braiding wire is 22 to 3 mm away from the fourth molding part.

[0076] Furthermore, during the weaving process, the weaving strands are tied tightly together by the first filaments 72 so that the weaving strands fit the first shaping member 1; a second filament 71 is set at the connection position between the third weaving segment 54 close to a part of the unshaped second weaving segment 52 and the weaving strands. After the weaving and shaping is completed, the first filament 72 and the second filament 71 are removed.

[0077] In general, the optimized embolic protection structure 5, the cone-shaped second braiding segment 52 and the straight third braiding segment 54 make the braiding preparation more convenient. The setting of the wire bundle 51 and the fishing hole also makes the heat setting process of the embolic protection structure 5 of the present application more convenient, which reduces the difficulty of preparation and also makes the formed embolic protection structure 5 have a more stable structure.

[0078] In addition, the processing is divided into two steps, braiding and heat setting, which can adjust the shape of the embolic protection structure 5 to make the braided wires at the split position more evenly distributed, thereby reducing the pushing force during the operation and the retracting force from the blood vessel after the operation.

[0079] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present application.
