Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a disposable biliary stent. Background Art

[0002] The intrahepatic bile duct starts from the capillary bile duct, gradually merges into larger bile ducts, and finally merges into the left and right hepatic ducts, which exit the liver from the porta hepatis. The left and right hepatic ducts merge into the common duct after leaving the liver; the common hepatic duct and the cystic duct merge into the common bile duct, which opens into the duodenal papilla at the left posterior wall of the descending duodenum and then merges with the pancreatic duct. There is a circular sphincter around the opening of the common bile duct, called the sphincter of Oddi, which can control the discharge of bile. After the common bile duct or the common hepatic duct is blocked, bile cannot be excreted, which can cause obstructive jaundice; the biliary system has the functions of secreting, storing, concentrating and transporting bile, and plays an important regulatory role in the discharge of bile into the duodenum. Malignant biliary obstruction caused by malignant tumors such as cholangiocarcinoma, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer and metastatic cancer has a high incidence rate and is often discovered in the late stage. Implanting a biliary stent into the stenotic or obstructed area is a good way to treat biliary obstruction.

[0003] After the existing disposable biliary stent is placed in the patient's bile duct, the placement position of the stent can only be observed through an endoscope, which makes it difficult to place it accurately. In addition, the stent is prone to collapse at the contact point with the stricture of the bile duct during use, thereby affecting the flow of bile. The stent needs to be replaced frequently, which adds psychological and economic burdens to patients. Most of the existing biliary stents are set as an integral whole and their length cannot be adjusted, which has poor practicality. For this reason, we propose a disposable biliary stent.

[0020] The present invention provides the following technical solutions: See also Figure 1-5 , disposable biliary stent, including: The delivery system 1 is used to observe and locate the affected part of the liver and gallbladder of the patient, and to deliver the stent assembly 2 to the affected part of the liver and gallbladder of the patient for placement, and then take out the delivery system 1 after the stent assembly 2 is placed; The support assembly 2 is limited on the conveying assembly in the conveying system 1, and is conveyed by the conveying system 1 to the patient's liver and gallbladder affected area to support the narrow part of the patient's liver and gallbladder ducts so that the patient's bile can flow normally in the ducts.

[0021] The stent assembly 2 includes a stent line 203, which is combined into a tubular stent sleeve. The stent sleeve is sleeved on the conveying assembly of the conveying system 1. The edges of both ends of the stent sleeve are fixedly connected with edge shadow blocks 201, the middle of both ends of the stent sleeve are fixedly connected with centerline shadow blocks 202, and the middle of the stent sleeve is fixedly connected with middle shadow blocks 206.

[0022] Furthermore, a support ring 205 is fixedly connected to the outside of the stent sleeve. Two support rings 205 are provided, and the two support rings 205 are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the stent sleeve. Under the action of the support ring 205, the stenosis of the bile duct and the contact with the stent sleeve can be supported, avoiding the phenomenon of collapse in the middle of the stent sleeve during long-term use, thereby improving the service life of the stent sleeve.

[0023] Furthermore, the width of the support ring 205 is set to 2 mm, the thickness of the support ring 205 is set to 0.5 mm, and the distance between the two support rings 205 is 2 / 1 of the total length of the stent sleeve, ensuring that the covering film 204 is located at the stenosis of the bile duct.

[0024] Furthermore, a fixing block 207 is fixedly connected to the left side of the bracket circuit 203, a protrusion 208 is fixedly connected to the left side of the fixing block 207, and a fixing block 212 is fixedly connected to the right side of the bracket circuit 203. A groove 211 is provided on the right side of the fixing block 212, and the left side of the protrusion 208 is located on the inner side of the groove 211.
