Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of heart valves, and in particular to a suturing preparation method of a polymer valve and related products. Background Art

[0002] Artificial heart valve replacement surgery is an important means of treating heart valve disease, and the choice of artificial heart valve is directly related to the long-term effect of the surgery and the quality of life of the patient. In the prior art, artificial heart valves mainly include two categories: mechanical valves and biological valves. Both types of valves show their own technical limitations in clinical applications. Mechanical valves are made of artificial materials such as titanium alloys and pyrolytic carbon, and their leaflet opening and closing mechanisms usually include a variety of structural forms such as single leaflets, double leaflets or ball cages. Since mechanical valves have excellent mechanical properties and durability, their theoretical service life can reach more than 20 years. However, the key technical defect of mechanical valves is that the blood compatibility of the surface of their artificial materials is poor, which easily induces platelet aggregation and coagulation factor activation, resulting in a significantly increased risk of thrombosis. In order to prevent thromboembolic complications, patients who undergo mechanical valve replacement must take anticoagulants such as warfarin for life, which not only increases the risk of bleeding, but also brings a large medication burden and inconvenience to patients. Bioprosthetic valves use specially treated xenogeneic pericardium (such as bovine pericardium, porcine pericardium) or autologous tissue to make valve leaflets. Their tissue structure is similar to the natural valves of the human body and has good blood compatibility. Patients usually do not need long-term anticoagulation. However, the main technical difficulty of bioprosthetic valves is their lack of durability. After implantation in the body, they are prone to calcification and tissue degeneration, and often require reoperation within 10-15 years. In addition, the preparation process of existing bioprosthetic valves is complex, quality control is difficult, and the production cost is high, which also restricts their further promotion and use.

[0003] In recent years, researchers have disclosed new artificial heart valve technology routes based on polymer materials in response to the inherent defects of mechanical valves and biological valves. Polymer valves try to achieve a balance between durability and blood compatibility by selecting synthetic materials with specific mechanical properties and biocompatibility, such as polyurethane and polycarbonate, and using precision processing technology to make leaflet structures. The leaflet materials of this type of valve can be optimized through molecular design and surface modification technology, and in theory, mechanical properties and blood compatibility close to those of natural valves can be obtained. At present, researchers have developed a variety of improved polymer valves, including the use of nanocomposites to enhance leaflet degree, the use of surface patterning technology to improve anti-thrombotic properties, and the introduction of bioactive molecules to promote endothelialization. However, the actual performance of polymer valves depends largely on the accuracy and controllability of their manufacturing process. Especially at the connection between the leaflet and the stent, the current manual sewing method has problems such as insufficient operating accuracy and uneven connection strength, which easily forms stress concentration areas and leads to early damage to the leaflet. At the same time, polymer materials may experience aging phenomena such as fatigue damage and stress relaxation under long-term cyclic loads, and their durability evaluation and prediction still face challenges.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that can improve the valve sewing accuracy and enhance the structural strength of the reinforced suture area. Summary of the invention

[0023] Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a method for suturing and preparing a polymer valve disclosed in an embodiment of the present application.

[0024] It should be understood that the polymer valve is a new type of valve, between the biological valve and the mechanical valve. It is a new type of valve, and its main components refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of a valve component disclosed in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 This is another schematic diagram of a valve component disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the valve components may include: a valve ring 110, a first valve seat 120, a first valve frame 130, a valve leaflet 140, a valve frame wrapping cloth 210, and a valve seat wrapping cloth 220. Among them, the valve leaflet 140 is made of a polymer material. Therefore, in addition to material selection, the sewing method is particularly critical to sewing a high-quality valve.

[0025] like Figure 1As shown, in step S101, the petal seat wrapping cloth 220 is cut, folded in half, and ironed to shape, and cross-stitched to form a tube, the first petal seat 120 is placed in the sewn tube, and fixed by back stitching, and the excess part is rolled up and fixed by continuous stitching to obtain the sewn second petal seat 310. The process includes: cutting the petal seat wrapping cloth 220 according to the three-dimensional shape characteristics of the first petal seat 120 so that one side edge is longer than the other side edge; folding the petal seat wrapping cloth in half and ironing it at the fold using an ironing device; opening the petal seat wrapping cloth, and cross-stitching the left and right ends of the petal seat wrapping cloth into a tube structure; placing the first petal seat 120 in the tube-shaped petal seat wrapping cloth, and fixing it by back stitching; rolling up the excess petal seat wrapping cloth, and fixing it on the petal seat wrapping cloth 220 by continuous stitching to obtain the sewn second petal seat 310.

[0026] For sewing and wrapping the petal seat 120, in one embodiment, a petal seat wrapping cloth of a corresponding size is cut according to the shape of the first petal seat 120, and the cut petal seat wrapping cloth is first folded in half, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inner side and the outer side are bounded by the fold 221 of the petal seat wrapping cloth 220, and the inner side is longer than the outer side.

[0027] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of folding a petal seat wrapping cloth disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of aligning a petal seat wrapping cloth disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a sewn petal seat disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 , align the left and right ends of the folded petal seat wrapping cloth 220 and iron them to make a mark, and then refer to Figure 5 After the petal seat wrapping cloth is opened, the left and right ends are aligned and cross-stitched to obtain the petal seat wrapping cloth suture line 222, and the petal seat wrapping cloth is sewn into a barrel shape, the petal seat 120 is placed at the fold 221 in the petal seat wrapping cloth, and then the petal seat is wrapped along the fold 221, and the petal seat 120 is fixed in the petal seat wrapping cloth by back stitching, and then the excess petal seat wrapping cloth is rolled up, and then the petal seat wrapping cloth is folded. Figure 6 , and continuously sewed onto the petal seat wrapping cloth 220 to obtain the sewn petal seat 310.

[0028] Preferably, the petal seat wrapping cloth of corresponding size is cut according to the three-dimensional shape characteristics of the first petal seat 120. In actual operation, the inner edge of the petal seat wrapping cloth should be about 4.5-5.0 mm longer than the outer edge. This size difference ensures smoothness after wrapping. Fold the cut petal seat wrapping cloth in half, and use a medical ironing device to iron along the crease for about 15-20 seconds at a temperature of about 121°C to form a positioning mark. Unfold the petal seat wrapping cloth, ensure that the left and right ends are aligned, and then use a tension-free cross-stitching process to sew the cloth into a tubular structure. When suturing, the stitch length is maintained between 3.0-3.5 mm, and the suture is 2.5-3.0 mm away from the edge of the cloth. Place the first petal seat 120 at the fold 221 of the tubular petal seat wrapping cloth, and use 5-0 non-damaging sutures to fix it with back stitches. After fixation, fold the excess petal seat wrapping cloth inwards, and the folding width is usually controlled between 5.0-5.5 mm. Finally, fix the folded edge to the petal seat wrapping cloth 220 with continuous suturing.

[0029] At step S102, a petal frame wrapping cloth is made according to the unfolded view of the three-dimensional model of the first petal frame 130, and the connection is sutured by back stitching with an oblique line and ironed, and the first petal frame 130 is placed in the petal frame wrapping cloth and fixed by back stitching to obtain the sewn second petal frame 320. This includes: establishing a three-dimensional curved surface model according to the width and perimeter of the first petal frame 130 and unfolding it into a plane view to make the petal frame wrapping cloth; folding the petal frame wrapping cloth in half according to the number of wrapping layers and ironing out marks; using oblique lines to connect and suture back stitching at the joint of the petal frame wrapping cloth 210; unfolding the triangular cloth formed at the joint and ironing it flat, and then cutting off the excess part; ironing the connection again according to the mark, and placing the first petal frame 130 in the petal frame wrapping cloth; and fixing the two ends after folding in half by back stitching, so that there is a gap between the petal frame wrapping cloth and the first petal frame 130, so as to obtain the sewn second petal frame 320.

[0030] Furthermore, a three-dimensional curved surface model is established according to the width and perimeter of the first petal frame 130 and unfolded into a plane view to produce a petal frame wrapping cloth, including: Firstly, the three-dimensional geometry of the valve frame is established through the control point coordinates and Bernstein basis functions, and then converted into a quadrilateral mesh model; this includes: constructing a continuous and differentiable three-dimensional geometry of the valve frame using Bezier surface equations; calculating the position vector of any point through the control point coordinates and Bernstein basis functions; converting the continuous surface into a quadrilateral mesh model; and locally encrypting the mesh of the local features of the valve frame surface.

[0031] Then, a Riemann metric tensor component calculation model is established, and the three-dimensional surface is unfolded into a two-dimensional plane diagram in combination with the cutting path; this includes: determining the minimum strain energy cutting path of the valve frame surface; establishing a Riemann metric tensor component calculation model; unfolding the three-dimensional surface along the determined cutting path; and calculating the two-dimensional coordinates of the grid nodes with the unfolding reference point as the starting point.

[0032] Finally, the actual perimeter of the flap frame is calculated, and the cutting size and margin of the fabric are determined according to the number of wrapping layers. This includes: calculating the actual perimeter based on the flap target radius and local curvature deviation; marking the dimensions on the plane and reserving operating margins; calculating the actual cutting size of the fabric based on the number of wrapping layers; and adding overlap and folding margins in the circumferential dimension and vertical direction.

[0033] Specifically, for valve frame modeling, in one implementation scenario, a three-dimensional surface modeling method can be used to construct the valve frame structure. The valve frame is regarded as a three-dimensional geometric body with a continuous and guidable surface, and is described using the Bezier surface equation. , whose position vector is determined by the following equation: ,in, are the control point coordinates, and They are nth and mth Bernstein basis functions respectively. By adjusting the position of the control points, the surface meets the geometric feature requirements of the first petal frame 130. In actual operation, 16 control points are selected to construct a quartic Bezier surface, and the control point spacing is maintained between 2.15-2.35 mm.

[0034] The surface was then discretized to convert the continuous surface into a triangular mesh model. A quadrilateral meshing scheme with a mesh size of 0.25-0.30 mm was used to ensure that the mesh density in areas with large curvature changes was increased accordingly. During the mesh generation process, the size ratio of adjacent mesh units did not exceed 1.08 to avoid mesh distortion. For local features on the surface of the valve frame, such as chamfers and transition areas at the connection, local encryption was used to reduce the mesh size to 0.15-0.18 mm.

[0035] Then the 3D mesh model is converted into a 2D plane. First, the minimum strain energy cutting path of the valve frame surface is determined, which is obtained by minimizing the following energy functional: , where gij and Gij are the Riemann metric tensor components before and after deformation, αi is the weight coefficient, ij represents the row and column index of the control point, i ranges from 0 to n (n=4, quartic Bezier surface), j ranges from 0 to m (m=4, quartic Bezier surface). The cutting path is determined by iterative calculation, and the three-dimensional surface is unfolded along the path. During the unfolding process, for the first petal frame 130 with a nominal size of 19 mm, the coordinates of the unfolding reference point are set to (0,0), and the two-dimensional coordinates of the grid nodes are calculated in sequence along the circumference.

[0036] The actual size is determined based on the unfolded plan view. For different specifications of the petal frame width within the range of 19-31 mm, a parametric model is established for size conversion. Taking the 19 mm specification as an example, the actual circumference L of the first petal frame 130 is calculated by the following correction formula: , where r is the nominal radius of the valve frame, is the local curvature deviation, and is the correction coefficient, which is 0.0625 and 0.0278 respectively. For valve frames of different specifications, the correction coefficient is adjusted accordingly. Based on the calculation results, the key dimensions are marked on the plan view, and an operating margin of 4.0-4.5 mm is reserved.

[0037] After determining the plane unfolding size, calculate the actual cutting size of the fabric according to the three-layer wrapping structure required by ISO 5840 standard. Considering the overlapping area between the wrapping layers, add an additional 6.0-6.5 mm overlap on the basis of the circumferential size. For the vertical dimension, add 8.5-9.0 mm folding allowance on the base height. The cut fabric is precisely folded along the set folding line. The position of the folding line is determined by laser positioning, and the positioning accuracy is controlled within 0.05 mm. Finally, ironing is performed under the condition of constant temperature control at 121°C, and the ironing pressure is maintained at 0.18-0.20 MPa for 15-20 seconds.

[0038] Returning to the step of sewing the first petal frame 130, after modeling, the first petal frame 130 is unfolded into a plane diagram according to its width and circumference, and then folded in half according to the number of wrapping layers and ironed to produce a mark. Preferably, in one embodiment, after completing the three-dimensional modeling of the first petal frame 130, it is necessary to carry out a plane unfolding according to its actual size parameters. The main parameters of the first petal frame 130 include the design width range of the nominal valve size of 19-31 mm and the corresponding circumference. According to the requirements of the ISO 5840 standard, the number of wrapping layers is determined to be 3 layers, and an operating margin of 4.0-4.5 mm is reserved on the unfolded diagram. The cut fabric is folded in half and ironed at a temperature controlled at 121°C for 15-20 seconds to ensure that the creases are clear. In this process, the fabric must be folded accurately, and the deviation should not exceed 0.5 mm to ensure the accuracy of subsequent processing.

[0039] Figure 7 The schematic diagram of a sewn petal frame disclosed in an embodiment of the present application is a method of sewing the petal frame wrapping joint with a back stitch sewed by connecting the two ends with an oblique line to avoid thread accumulation. After suturing, the two triangular cloths are unfolded, the seams are unfolded with an iron, ironed, and the excess parts are cut off. In one embodiment, a special oblique line connection process is used at the joint of the petal frame wrapping cloth 210, mainly to avoid thread accumulation at the seams. The specific operation is to form an inclination angle of 30 degrees at both ends, and use a 6-0 specification suture to perform back stitch suturing connection. The stitch length during suturing is controlled between 2.5-3.0 mm, and the depth of each stitch is maintained at 2.0-2.5 mm. After the suturing is completed, the two triangular cloths formed are unfolded, and the unfolding angle of the cloth should be maintained between 165-170 degrees, so as to ensure that the seams are flat and wrinkle-free. Use a medical iron at 121°C to iron the sutures a second time, holding each position for about 15-20 seconds, then use sterile surgical scissors to trim off the excess fabric, leaving a 2.5-3.0 mm margin.

[0040] Iron the connection again according to the mark, place the first petal frame 130 in the petal frame wrapping cloth, and use back stitch to sew the two ends after folding. Leave a length of 1.5-2.0 mm between the petal frame wrapping cloth and the first petal frame 130 to facilitate the subsequent fixation of the leaflet 140. In one embodiment, the fabric at the connection is folded again according to the previously ironed mark. Place the first petal frame 130 in the petal frame wrapping cloth, and pay attention to maintaining a gap of 1 mm between the first petal frame 130 and the petal frame wrapping cloth. Use 5-0 specification sutures to back stitch and fix the two ends after folding. When suturing, the spacing between each stitch should be maintained between 3.0-3.5 mm, and the suture depth should be controlled within the range of 2.5-3.0 mm. Add reinforcement sutures at key stress positions, and the stitch length of the reinforcement sutures should be maintained at 2.0-2.5 mm. The sewn petal frame 320 is as follows Figure 7 shown.

[0041] A plurality of reserved holes are evenly arranged on the three sides of the leaflet 140 for threading during suturing.

[0042] In step S103, the holes at the midpoints of the three sides of the leaflet 140 are aligned with the lowest point of the sewn second leaflet seat 310, and the three sides are continuously sutured to the top of the second leaflet seat 310 through other holes evenly distributed and preset on each side. After the reserved part 142 of the leaflet is folded in half and sutured, the suture is wrapped around the leaflet seat wrapping cloth 220 and passed out. The steps include: aligning the holes at the midpoints of the three sides of the leaflet 140 with the lowest point of the second leaflet seat 310 respectively; passing sutures through the holes at the midpoints of each side of the leaflet 140 and the corresponding leaflet seat wrapping cloth 220, and using the two ends of the sutures to pass through other holes evenly distributed on the sides of the leaflet 140 to sew the leaflet 140 and the second leaflet seat 310 together until the two ends of each suture pass through the first hole 141 at both ends of each side of the leaflet 140; folding the sutures passing through the first hole 141 in half and passing them through the second hole 143 and the third hole 144 of the leaflet reserved part 142 on the side adjacent to the first hole 141, and knotting the met sutures; wrapping the knotted lines around the corresponding leaflet seat wrapping cloth 220 at the top of the second leaflet 310 from opposite directions, and passing them out from the corresponding vertex hole 145 of the leaflet 140.

[0043] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of sewing a valve leaflet and a valve seat disclosed in an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 8 , for fixing the leaflets 140 on the sewn second leaflet seat 310, specifically, use the wrapped leaflet seat, align the holes at the midpoints of the three leaflets 140 with the lowest point of the sewn second leaflet seat 310, and use the thread to pass through the fixed position through the punching position, and sew continuously to the top of the sewn second leaflet seat 310 on both sides, and stop at the second hole to reserve the thread for use. In one embodiment, during the fixing process of the leaflets 140, it is first necessary to use the sewn second leaflet seat 310 to align the lowest point of the three leaflets 140 with the lowest point of the sewn leaflet seat 310. The position deviation of each leaflet 140 should not exceed 0.5 mm to ensure the symmetry of the overall structure. Use a special cardiac surgical suture needle to pass a 7-0 specification suture from the preset punching position, which is usually 4.0-4.5 mm above the bottom edge of the leaflet seat. The suture length should be reserved for about 120-150 mm. The suture thread passing through the punching position should be continuously sutured toward the top of both sides of the sewn second petal seat 310, and the tension of the suture thread should be maintained between 0.8-1.2 Newtons. It stops and reserves the suture thread until it reaches the second hole position.

[0044] Sew the part of the outer side of the second petal seat 310 reserved from the leaflet 140 from the outside to the inside, fold the reserved part inward, and pass it to the inside. Similarly, after the inner line passes outward, tie three knots with the two lines. In one embodiment, when processing the sutures on the outside of the second petal seat 310, it is necessary to start from the reserved part of the leaflet 140 and adopt a suturing method from the outside to the inside. The suture depth should be controlled between 2.0-2.5 mm, and the spacing between each stitch should be maintained at 2.5-3.0 mm. Fold the reserved part inward, and the folded width is usually between 4.0-4.5 mm. Process the other two sutures in the same way to ensure that the operating parameters on both sides remain consistent. When the two sutures meet in the middle, it is necessary to use a standard surgical knotting method to tie five knots in a row, and the spacing between each knot is maintained at 2.0 mm, so that sufficient structural strength can be disclosed.

[0045] The knotted thread is then wrapped around the valve seat wrapping cloth in two opposite directions and passed out from the hole punched at the apex. In one embodiment, the knotted suture needs to be fixed around the valve seat wrapping cloth on both sides. The direction of the suture should be parallel to the texture of the valve seat wrapping cloth to avoid local stress concentration. Finally, the suture is passed through the hole punched at the apex, and the angle during the passing should be maintained at 90 degrees, which can reduce the friction between the suture and the cloth. A circular reinforcement area with a diameter of 4.0-4.5 mm is added near the passing point.

[0046] At step S104, the sewn second flap frame 320 is aligned with the sewn second flap seat 310, and the suture is extended through the holes at the midpoints of the three sides of the leaflet 140 to the apex of the second flap seat 310, and the suture is alternately sutured through the flap frame wrapping cloth 210, the reserved holes of the leaflet 140, and the flap seat wrapping cloth 220 in sequence until the apex of the second flap seat 310 is reached and knotted to obtain the valve body. This includes: three equal-length sutures are respectively passed through the holes at the midpoints of the three sides of the leaflet 140; the suture needle passes through the flap frame wrapping cloth 210, the reserved holes of the leaflet 140, and the flap seat wrapping cloth 220 in sequence to complete the first stitch; the second stitch is performed from the second flap seat 310 through the leaflet 140 and the second flap frame 320; the suture steps are repeated until the suture passes through the apex of the second flap seat 310 and is knotted to obtain the valve body.

[0047] Fig. 9 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of fixing a petal frame disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. For the fixed sewing of the petal leaf 140, the sewn second petal frame 320, and the sewn second petal seat 310, refer to FIG. Fig. 9, the lines at the three vertices can be passed upward and through the apex of the sewn second petal seat 310, prepare three equal-length lines, find the three lowest points of the sewn second petal seat 310, the leaflet 140, and the sewn second petal frame 320, and after the lines pass through the holes of the leaflet 140, they are respectively passed to both sides according to the holes of the leaflet 140, and the suture needle passes through the leaflet from the petal frame, and the petal seat is wrapped with cloth to complete the first stitch, and then the second petal seat 310 passes through the leaflet 140, and the second petal frame 320 is wrapped and passed out to complete the second stitch, and thus reciprocate until the suture is sutured to the apex of the sewn second petal seat 310 and knotted. Preferably, after the sutures at the three vertices are fixed, these sutures need to be extended upward to the apex of the sewn petal seat 310. Prepare three 6-0 specification sutures with a length between 150-180 mm, and find the lowest points of the leaflet 140, the sewn second petal frame 320, and the sewn second petal seat 310. Starting from the punching point of the leaflet 140, the suture needle needs to pass through the second flap frame 320, the leaflet 140 and the second flap seat 310 in sequence, and the depth of each needle should be maintained between 2.5-3.0 mm. After the first stitch is completed, the second stitch is performed starting from the second flap seat 310, through the leaflet 140 and the first flap frame 130, and this is performed alternately until the apex of the sewn second flap seat 310 is reached, and finally the valve body is obtained. During the suturing process, the tension of the suture should be maintained between 1.0-1.2 Newtons, which can ensure the stability of the structure without affecting the flexibility of the valve. When tying a knot at the apex, the diameter of the node is controlled between 2.5-3.0 mm.

[0048] At step S105, the valve ring 110 is sutured and fixed below the second valve seat 310 in the valve body to obtain a polymer valve. This includes: aligning the short ends of the valve ring wrapping cloth 150, suturing continuously into a ring shape, placing the valve ring 110 in the middle of the valve ring wrapping cloth 150, suturing the valve ring 110 in the valve ring wrapping cloth 150 by hiding the needle method, tightening the suture to form a wrapped felt valve ring; then, aligning the wrapped felt valve ring with the bottom of the second valve seat 310; suturing and fixing the suture through the reserved holes of the felt valve ring and the second valve seat 310 by continuous suturing; adding reinforcement sutures in high stress areas to obtain a polymer valve. Fig.10 The present invention discloses a process of wrapping a valve ring and sewing the wrapped valve ring to the valve body to obtain a polymer valve. In one implementation scenario, the valve ring 110 can be fixed by directly sewing the cut valve ring 110 to the bottom of the second valve seat 310 of the valve body according to the holes punched in the second valve seat 310, and the valve ring 110 is fixed by back-stitching. Preferably, the pre-prepared valve ring 110 cut from medical-grade felt is positioned according to the punching position of the second valve seat 310, wherein the thickness of the valve ring 110 is between 2.5-3.0 mm. Fig.10As shown, the short ends of the valve ring wrapping cloth 150 are aligned and sutured continuously into a ring shape, the valve ring 110 is placed in the middle of the valve ring wrapping cloth 150, the valve ring 110 is sutured into the valve ring wrapping cloth 150 by the needle hiding method, the suture is tightened to form a wrapped felt valve ring, and the wrapped valve ring 110 or the felt valve ring is fixed under the second valve seat 310 by back stitching with 5-0 specification sutures. The needle distance during suturing is controlled between 2.5-3.0 mm, and the depth is maintained at 2.0-2.5 mm. During the suturing process, attention should be paid to maintaining uniform tension, usually between 0.8-1.0 Newtons, so as to avoid local deformation. Reinforcement sutures are added in high stress areas, and the needle distance of the reinforcement sutures should be maintained at 2.0-2.5 mm. After the fixation is completed, the entire valve ring 110 needs to be fully inspected in accordance with the ISO 5840 standard.

[0049] It should be understood that the structures shown in the drawings of the embodiments of the present application are exemplary and non-restrictive. This means that the structures involved are not limited to a specific form or design, but are presented as examples. In other words, the structures shown in the drawings can be regarded as a way of expression to clearly describe related concepts and relationships, and do not exclude other forms of structures. Therefore, when interpreting the structures in the pictures, it should be understood that the purpose is to disclose an exemplary description rather than a restrictive provision on a specific form.

[0050] The embodiment of the present application discloses a polymer valve using the suture preparation method described in any of the above embodiments, comprising: a valve ring 110, a first valve seat 120, a first valve frame 130, a valve leaflet 140, and a valve frame wrapping cloth and a valve seat wrapping cloth; the valve ring 110 is arranged at the bottom of the valve, adopts an annular structure, and its upper surface is connected to the valve seat 120; the valve seat 120 is an annular step-shaped structure, and its inner side wall is provided with a groove for installing the valve leaflet 140, and the outer peripheral wall is matched with the valve ring 110; the upper surface of the valve seat 120 is provided with a positioning structure that cooperates with the valve frame 130, and the positioning structure includes a plurality of bosses uniformly distributed along the circumference of the valve seat 120. The valve frame 130 is composed of three pillars, the lower ends of the pillars are fixedly connected to the positioning structure on the valve seat 120, and the upper ends are connected to each other to form a supporting structure; the valve leaflet 140 is made of polymer material, in the form of a thin sheet, and its edge is fixedly connected to the valve seat 120 and the valve frame 130 through sutures. The valve frame wrapping cloth 210 covers the surface of the valve frame 130 and is fixed by back-stitching; the valve seat wrapping cloth 220 covers the outer surface of the valve seat 120 and is fixed by back-stitching.

[0051] In one specific embodiment, the production process of the petal seat wrapping cloth adopts a special sewing process: first, the cut petal seat wrapping cloth is folded in half so that the inner edge is slightly longer than the outer edge by about 2 mm, and then the left and right ends are aligned and ironed to form a crease. After the petal seat wrapping cloth is unfolded, the left and right ends are sewed by cross stitching to form a barrel-shaped structure. After the petal seat 120 is placed in the petal seat wrapping cloth, the petal seat 120 is fixed inside the petal seat wrapping cloth by a back stitching process, and the stitch length of the suture line is maintained between 1.5 and 2.5 mm. After the excess petal seat wrapping cloth is rolled and folded, it is fixed to the surface of the original petal seat wrapping cloth by continuous stitching. The installation of the petal frame wrapping cloth needs to consider the seam processing: the oblique line connection back stitching method is used at the joint. After the stitching is completed, the two triangular fabrics are unfolded and ironed to ensure that the seam is flat. When the petal frame 130 is placed in the petal frame wrapping cloth, a gap of about 1 mm is maintained between it and the petal seat wrapping cloth. This design facilitates the subsequent fixation of the leaflet 140.

[0052] During the installation of the leaflets 140, a positioning suture technique is used: first, align the lowest point of the three leaflets 140 with the lowest point of the valve seat 120, and pass the suture through the special positioning hole and temporarily fix it. Subsequently, continuous sutures are performed along the top of both sides of the valve seat 120, and the sutures are paused at the second positioning hole and reserved. The sutures on the left side of the valve seat 120 need to be sutured from left to right from the reserved part of the leaflet 140, and the reserved part is folded inward and passed to the right side; the sutures on the right side need to be passed to the left, and the two sutures are finally knotted and fixed. After the fixation is completed, the sutures are then wrapped around the valve seat wrapping cloth from the left and right sides, and finally passed through the positioning hole at the apex. In the triple fixation process of the leaflets 140, the valve frame 130 and the valve seat 120, first prepare three sutures of equal length, find the lowest point of the three components, and pass the sutures through the positioning holes of the leaflets 140. The suture needle needs to pass through the valve frame 130, the valve leaflets 140 and the valve seat wrapping cloth in a specific path to form the first suture; then pass through the valve leaflets 140 and the valve frame 130 from the valve seat 120, and pass out in a winding manner to complete the second suture, and repeat this process until the suture is made to the top of the valve frame 130 and tied and fixed. Finally, the pre-cut valve ring 110 is fixed under the valve seat 120 through the positioning hole on the valve seat 120 by back stitching, completing the assembly of the entire valve.
