Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of esophageal stents, and in particular to a disposable esophageal stent system. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in clinical interventional esophageal procedures, a memory alloy esophageal stent delivery system is typically used under X-ray or endoscopic visualization to deliver a stent to the lesion. The stent is then released, leveraging the stent's inherent radial support to treat or alleviate symptoms. The current stent delivery system consists of an outer sheath, a middle tube, a core tube, a positioning guide, a large handle, a fixed handle, and a small handle. The core tube is connected to the positioning guide at the front, followed by the middle tube and the small handle. The middle tube is followed by the outer sheath, the large handle assembly, the fixed handle, and the small handle. During the loading process, the stent is pre-loaded into the stent delivery system and the safety lock sleeve is locked. During the procedure, the stent is delivered to the patient's lesion. Once the position is confirmed, the safety lock is released, and the large handle is withdrawn to release the stent to the lesion. Finally, the delivery system is removed from the patient.

[0003] However, if the existing esophageal stent is found to be twisted and displaced after being partially released, the position of the stent cannot be adjusted slightly, which increases the difficulty of the operation or may lead to failure of the operation. Therefore, solving the twisting and dislocation during the release of the esophageal stent and realizing timely adjustment during the implantation of the esophageal stent are issues that need to be urgently addressed.

The following paragraphs describe the present invention in more detail by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and are not to exact scale, and are only used for the purpose of conveniently and clearly illustrating the embodiments of the present invention.

[0034] See also Figures 1 to 8 In an embodiment of the present invention, a disposable esophageal stent system includes an inserter and a stent support 3. The inserter includes an outer sheath 4, one end of the outer sheath 4 is fixedly connected to a handle 8, and a controller 7 with a display screen is provided on the side wall of the handle 8. A middle tube 6 is passed through the outer sheath 4, and one end of the middle tube 6 passes through the side wall of the handle 8 and is fixedly connected to a push rod 9. The other end of the middle tube 6 is fixedly connected to a guide head 1, which is located at one end of the outer sheath 4. The stent 3 is compressed and assembled into the interior of the outer sheath 4, and a push plug 5 is fixedly connected to the middle tube 6. The push plug 5 is against the side wall of one end of the stent 3. A linear permanent magnetic film strip 19 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the stent 3, and a magnetic sensor 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one end of the outer sheath 4. The magnetic sensor 17 is electrically connected to the controller 7, and a magnetic torsional device is provided at one end of the outer sheath 4.

[0035] Specifically, the magnetic torsion device includes an adjusting ring 2, which is fixedly connected to one end of the outer sheath 4. The inner ring of the adjusting ring 2 is rotatably connected to a rotating ring 11. Three sliding plates 13 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating ring 11. The three sliding plates 13 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the adjusting ring 2. Two pulling springs 10 are fixedly connected between the rotating ring 11 and the side wall of the adjusting ring 2. An iron plate 14 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the pulling spring 10. Electromagnetic devices are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the iron plate 14. The two electromagnet devices are electrically connected to the controller 7. Each electromagnet device includes an armature rod 16. The two armature rods 16 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the adjusting ring 2 and are respectively located on both sides of the iron plate 14. The two armature rods 16 are each wound with an induction coil 15 , the two induction coils 15 are electrically connected to the DC power supply 21 through the electromagnetic switch 22, and the two electromagnetic switches 22 are electrically connected to the controller 7. A plurality of densely arranged friction protrusions 12 are provided on the inner ring side wall of the rotating ring 11. Each friction protrusion 12 is made of rubber material, which can increase the friction between the rotating ring 11 and the bracket 3. When the induction coil 15 on the armature rod 16 on one side is energized, a magnetic attraction can be generated, which can attract the iron plate 14 to the armature rod 16 on that side for rotation. The rotation of the iron plate 14 can drive the rotating ring 11 to rotate, so the controller 7 can control the rotating ring 11 to rotate forward and reverse by respectively making the armature rods 16 on both sides generate magnetic attraction. The forward and reverse rotation of the rotating ring 11 can drive the bracket 3 to rotate slightly axially through the friction of the plurality of friction protrusions 12.

[0036] Specifically, a transparent cover 20 is installed at the tip of the guide head 1, and a camera 18 is installed in the transparent cover 20. The camera 18 is electrically connected to the controller 7. The guide head 1 is arranged in a shuttle shape. The controller 7 is provided with a bracket twisting posture recognition unit. The bracket twisting posture recognition unit is used to identify whether the bracket has a twisting posture in the human body. When the bracket twisting posture recognition unit finds that the bracket 3 has a twisting posture, the controller 7 can promptly display it on the display screen;

[0037] The method for establishing the bracket torsion posture recognition unit includes:

[0038] S1: Acquire a large number of stent torsion motion image samples;

[0039] S2: labeling the key points of the stent in the stent torsion motion image sample to obtain the labeled stent torsion motion image sample, wherein the key points of the stent include: reference key points for locating the stent part, and extended key points that cooperate with the reference key points to represent multiple three-dimensional postures of the part;

[0040] S3: Based on the labeled bracket twisting action image samples and annotation information, the bracket twisting posture recognition unit is trained, wherein the input information is divided into a test set and a training set during training. After the training, the validity of the model is verified in the test set. If the verification fails, go to S2 to add more labeled data; if the verification passes, the training ends.

[0041] The working principle of the present invention is:

[0042] When in use, the outer sheath tube 4 can be guided from the mouth into the esophagus with the guide head 1 as the end, and then the handle 8 and the push rod 9 can be grasped with both hands respectively, and the middle tube 6 can be driven to move in the outer sheath tube 4 by pushing the push rod 9. The movement of the middle tube 6 can drive the push plug 5 to push the stent 3 gradually out of the port of the outer sheath tube 4. After the stent 3 is pushed out of the outer sheath tube 4, it can be expanded and attached to the esophageal wall. In the process of the stent 3 being pushed out of the outer sheath tube 4, when the stent 3 is released along the straight line of the permanent magnetic film strip 19, the controller 7 can detect the magnetic signal of the permanent magnetic film strip 19 through the magnetic sensor 17. If the magnetic sensor 17 cannot detect the magnetic signal of the permanent magnetic film strip 19, it means that the stent 3 has torsionally shifted. The controller 7 can control the two electromagnetic switches 22 respectively to generate an induced current in the induction coils 15 on the two armature rods 16. When the induction coil 15 on one side of the armature rod 16 is energized, a magnetic attraction can be generated, which can attract the iron plate 14 to the armature rod 16 on that side for rotation. The rotation of the iron plate 14 can drive the rotating ring 11 to rotate. Therefore, the controller 7 can control the rotating ring 11 to rotate forward and reverse by respectively generating a magnetic attraction force on the armature rods 16 on both sides. The forward and reverse rotation of the rotating ring 11 can drive the bracket 3 to rotate slightly axially through the friction of multiple friction bumps 12, so that the permanent magnetic film strip 19 on the bracket 3 is restored to the bottom of the magnetic sensor 17, avoiding torsional displacement caused by the release of the bracket 3.
