Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical devices for varicose veins of lower limbs, and in particular relates to a varicose vein closure system for lower limbs. Background Art

[0002] Varicose veins of the lower extremities are one of the most common surgical diseases. The main treatments for varicose veins of the lower extremities include lifestyle changes, wearing elastic stockings, drug therapy, and surgical treatment. Among them, surgical treatment, as the most important treatment method at present, mainly includes high ligation and stripping. Traditional surgery can treat the diseased saphenous vein trunk, but the surgery causes large damage, scars, affects the appearance, and has a high recurrence rate. In other methods, such as foam sclerotherapy, repeated injections are sometimes required for treatment. At the same time, it has poor efficacy for thick varicose veins, high recurrence rate, and often secondary thrombophlebitis, causing local pain in patients; and heat treatment methods such as intracavitary laser therapy and radiofrequency therapy require expensive special equipment, which needs to be performed under general anesthesia during treatment, and heat energy can easily cause damage to the skin and saphenous nerve. Before treatment, puncture and placement of blood vessels require a straight venous vascular access, which has poor treatment effects on thinner or tortuous varicose veins.

[0003] Therefore, a new treatment method that uses biological glue or tissue glue to close varicose veins in the lower extremities has been proposed. The adhesive bonding treatment method does not require general anesthesia and will not produce heat energy to damage normal tissues. It can achieve the same therapeutic effect as intracavitary laser therapy and radiofrequency therapy, and reduce thermal damage to surrounding normal tissues. In the prior art, the sealing glue is used as a fluid, and the current devices are basically able to deliver the sealing glue to the designated position in a simple, continuous, uniform and stable manner. However, how to control the sealing glue to maintain its effect on the local diseased veins and prevent the glue from drifting with the venous blood flow to other normal veins or even deep veins to cause adverse reactions is a problem that needs to be studied by the varicose vein sealing instruments that use sealing glue. At present, in treatment, the operator often manually squeezes the ultrasonic probe and then quantitatively pushes the sealing glue, that is, a certain amount of glue is pushed into the diseased blood vessel through a rubber tube, and the ultrasonic probe is used for manual squeezing to keep the sealing glue reacting with the local diseased blood vessel to seal the blood vessel. This method relies on the force generated by the surgeon's hand pressing the probe to locally seal the diseased blood vessel, and lacks a controllable device to complete the local blood vessel sealing and evaluate the effect. When the force of the pressure probe is not appropriate, the sealing glue may not be confined, causing the sealing glue to flow with the blood to the distant normal veins or even the deep veins of the lower limbs and react with the normal vascular endothelium, potentially causing complications such as deep vein thrombosis.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a closure device that can accurately and stably deliver the closure glue to a designated location and confine it to the location to close the varicose vein. Summary of the invention

When the ultrasonic monitor detects that the blood flow signal no longer passes through the gap between the capsule and the blood vessel wall, the signal can be sent to the electric control device, which immediately controls the controller to maintain the expansion state of the capsule. When the ultrasonic monitor detects that the varicose vein is closed, it immediately sends a signal to the electric control device, so that the controller controls the capsule to shrink.

[0042] For further explanation, a method for closing varicose veins of lower extremities is proposed, which is implemented by using a varicose vein closing system of lower extremities, and includes the following steps: S1, moving the first tube to a designated position in the vein of the lower limb so that the affected area is located between the two sacs; S2, controlling the expansion of the two balloons so that the balloon surfaces fit the inner wall of the blood vessel to block the blood flow in the local blood vessel; S3, injecting the sealing glue into the first tube body, and allowing the sealing glue to enter the vein from the glue outlet hole 102; S4, maintaining the current state until the sealing glue solidifies in the local blood vessels to complete the closure of the varicose vein; S5 , controlling the two balloons to contract, and moving the first tube to the next treatment site or removing the first catheter 202 .

[0043] It should be further explained that before step S1, the varicose vein closure system for lower extremities needs to be assembled, which includes the following steps: S01, inserting the syringe 302 containing the sealing glue into the mounting hole 303 of the gun body 301, and rotating the syringe 302 so that its core rod is fixed in the mounting hole 303; S02, rotating and installing the gun head cap 307 on the gun body 301 to complete the assembly of the dispensing gun 3; S03, connecting the injection end of the first tube to the head of the syringe 302 through a Luer connector, so that the syringe 302 is connected to the first chamber; S04. Connect the two catheters and the two controllers respectively through the Luer connector, and connect one end of the second tube to the return blood vessel 105 through the Luer connector to complete the assembly of the lower extremity varicose vein closure system.

[0044] It should be further explained that in step S1, after puncture, a guide wire is first inserted into the blood vessel, and the second tube body is connected to the guide wire, so that the insertion part can smoothly enter the blood vessel under the support and guidance of the guide wire. Furthermore, the air brought into the blood vessel when the catheter is inserted can be extracted through the return blood vessel 105, and the presence of blood in the return blood vessel 105 can be observed to determine that the insertion part has entered the blood vessel. Furthermore, an ultrasonic monitoring method is configured corresponding to the varicose vein closure method of the lower limbs. In step S1, the position of the metal mark 103 is obtained by an ultrasonic monitor, and then the position of the glue hole 102 is identified. At the same time, the position of varicose veins is identified by the ultrasonic monitor, which facilitates medical staff to quickly move the insertion part to the designated position so that the glue hole 102 is aligned with the affected area.

[0045] In steps S2 to S4, the size of the balloon is expanded by controlling the control device to achieve blood vessel occlusion, and an ultrasonic monitoring method is also configured to determine whether the balloon has expanded to fill the diseased blood vessel by monitoring whether there is a blood flow signal passing through the gap between the balloon and the blood vessel wall to achieve occlusion of the key position. Further preferably, the corresponding controller is configured with an electric control device, and when the ultrasonic monitor collects that the blood flow signal no longer passes through the gap between the balloon and the blood vessel wall, the signal can be sent to the electric control device, which immediately controls the controller to maintain the expansion state of the balloon.

[0046] At the same time, the ultrasonic monitor can also monitor the closure of the varicose veins. In step S4, when it is detected that the closure of the varicose veins is complete, the medical staff can shrink the capsule to proceed to the next step.

[0047] Furthermore, in step S3, the sealing glue is released into the blood vessel by pressing the button 306 of the glue dispensing gun 3 or starting the pressure wheel assembly.

[0048] It will be easily understood by those skilled in the art that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
