Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular relates to a medical cutting device and a kit. Background Art
[0002] For moderate to severe calcification and plaque lesions in peripheral vessels and coronary arteries, balloon catheters with cutting functions are usually used for treatment.
[0003] A traditional balloon catheter with a cutting function has cutting elements such as metal wires, blades, and saw teeth arranged on the outer circumference of the balloon body, and the lesion is cut by the cutting elements. This type of balloon catheter has many problems in actual use. For example, the presence of the cutting element causes the balloon catheter to still have a large outer diameter after being squeezed and gripped, making it unfriendly to small blood vessels with smaller diameters and reducing the bending performance. On the other hand, it also increases the local weight of the balloon catheter, which causes the user to apply a pushing force to the push rod of the balloon catheter (generally a polymer tube) to push the balloon catheter. The loss of the pushing force is too large, further reducing the bending performance of the balloon catheter. For example, since the cutting element is directly arranged on the outer circumference of the balloon body, when the cutting element is positioned by rotation and other operations, the cutting element is prone to cause unnecessary damage to the inner wall of the blood vessel, affecting the treatment effect.
[0004] In response to the problems existing in traditional balloon catheters with cutting functions, medical device manufacturers have proposed alternative medical devices, such as the XO-Score cutting sheath proposed by Transit Scientific, which is formed by cutting and shaping a tube and includes a plurality of cutting blades arranged in sequence along its circumference, and the cutting blades are formed after the tube is cut. The cutting sheath is used in conjunction with the balloon. When in use, the cutting sheath is sleeved on the outer circumference of the balloon and can slide along the outer circumference of the balloon. When the balloon is in a compressed state, each cutting blade extends along the circumference of the cutting sheath when viewed from the cross section of the cutting sheath (i.e., the cross section perpendicular to the axial direction of the cutting sheath). When the balloon is filled, the cutting sheath expands and causes the cutting blade to rotate 90°, so that each cutting blade extends radially along the cutting sheath when viewed from the cross section of the cutting sheath, so as to cut calcification and plaque lesions. Compared with traditional balloons with cutting functions, its outer diameter during delivery is relatively small, and it is not easy to damage the blood vessel wall during positioning. However, it still has some problems. For example, after the balloon is filled and the cutting blade rotates 90°, the contact area between the cutting blade and the outer peripheral surface of the balloon is reduced and the pressure is increased. While the cutting element applies focal force to the narrow part of the blood vessel, it also exerts an opposite force on the balloon, which poses a risk of damaging the balloon. In addition, each cutting blade extends continuously along the axial direction of the cutting sheath, resulting in a larger rigidity of the cutting sheath and difficulty in bending, which is not conducive to the cutting sheath moving in tortuous blood vessels.

[0041] The terms "distal end" and "proximal end" used in this article are used to describe the relative positions and orientations of the various parts and components of the medical device. Although non-restrictive, the "distal end" is usually the end of the medical device that first enters the patient's body during normal use, and the "proximal end" is the end opposite to the "distal end", that is, the "proximal end" is closer to the operator.
[0042] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a medical cutting device, which can be used in conjunction with a balloon catheter to cut and treat calcified and plaque-diseased tissues in blood vessels and dilate the blood vessels. The cutting device has a smaller outer diameter in a compressed state, and can easily move in the blood vessels and pass through the narrowed parts.
[0043] In order to make the purpose, advantages and features of the present invention more clear, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the drawings are all in very simplified form and in non-precise proportions, and are only used to conveniently and clearly assist in explaining the purpose of the embodiments of the present invention. The same or similar reference numerals in the drawings represent the same or similar components.
[0044] Figure 1 and Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the medical cutting device 100. Figure 2 A cross-sectional view showing the medical cutting device in a radially compressed state, Figure 4 A cross-sectional view of the medical cutting device in a radially expanded state is shown. Figures 1 to 4 The medical cutting device 100 includes a base 1100 and a cutting part 1200. The base 1100 has an inner cavity extending through the base 1100 along its axial direction, and the cutting part 1200 is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the base 1100. Hereinafter, the base 1100 and the components arranged thereon are collectively referred to as a cutting assembly 1000, so that the cutting assembly 1000 at least includes the cutting part 1200. The cutting assembly 1000 is used to be transported and positioned at a target position in a blood vessel to cut calcified tissue and / or plaque tissue and achieve dilation of the blood vessel.
[0045] The base 1100 is configured to expand radially when it is subjected to a radially outward force, and to contract radially when the force is canceled. In other words, the base 1100 has a radially expanded state and a radially contracted state. It should be understood that the state of the cutting assembly 1000 is the same as the state of the base 1100, that is, when the base 1100 is in the radially expanded state, the cutting assembly 1000 is also in the radially expanded state, and when the base 1100 is in the radially contracted state, the cutting assembly 1000 is also in the radially contracted state accordingly.
[0046] like Figure 2As shown, when the base 1100 is in the radial contraction state, the portion on which the cutting portion 1200 is arranged extends toward the axis of the base 1100, thereby forming a recess 1101 on the outer circumference of the base 1100 to accommodate the cutting portion 1200. In other words, when the base 1100 is in the radial contraction state, the cutting portion 1200 is located in the recess 1101 and does not protrude from the base 1100, thereby preventing the outer circumference of the base 1100 from protruding from the outer circumference, thereby ensuring the passability of the base 1100 in the blood vessel. In this way, on the one hand, the cutting assembly 1000 in the radial contraction state has a smaller outer diameter, and when the cutting assembly 1000 is applied to vascular lesions, it can adapt to small blood vessels of smaller size and easily pass through the narrow part and curved part of the blood vessel; on the other hand, it also avoids the situation that the cutting portion 1200 damages the blood vessel wall when the cutting assembly 1000 is transported. In addition, when the base 1100 switches from the radial contraction state to the radial expansion state, the distance that the recess 1101 expands outward is greater than the distance that the portion of the base 1100 other than the recess 1101 expands radially outward, so that the cutting portion 1200 is fully exposed and can effectively cut the calcified tissue and / or plaque tissue on the blood vessel.
[0047] In actual use, the medical cutting device 100 is used with Figure 7 The medical cutting device 100 is matched with the balloon catheter 200 shown, for example, the medical cutting device 100 is sleeved on a part of the outer circumference of the balloon catheter 200. The balloon catheter 200 includes a balloon body 4000. When the medical cutting device 100 is sleeved on a part of the outer circumference of the balloon catheter 200 so that the balloon body 4000 is inserted into the inner cavity of the base 1100, and when the balloon body 4000 is filled, the balloon body 4000 applies a radially outward force to the base 1100 so that the base 1100 expands radially. On the contrary, when the balloon body 4000 is depressurized, the radially outward force applied by the balloon body 4000 on the base 1100 gradually decreases to zero, and the base 1100 contracts radially toward the axial direction. Since the cutting portion 1200 is arranged on the outer surface of the base 1100, the base 1100 physically isolates the cutting portion 1200 from the balloon body 4000, so that the cutting portion 1200 does not directly contact the balloon body 4000, thereby avoiding the problem that the cutting portion 1200 damages the balloon body 4000 due to the reverse force generated when applying cutting force to the calcified tissue and / or plaque tissue, thereby causing the balloon body 4000 to release pressure, causing the base 1100 to shrink radially, resulting in the inability to continue cutting the calcified tissue and / or plaque tissue.
[0048] The embodiment of the present invention has no special restrictions on the shape of the recess 110, that is, the recess 1101 can have any suitable shape, such as a U-shape or a substantially U-shape. The radial dimension of the recess 1101 of the base 1100 is determined according to the radial dimension of the cutting portion 1200 of the base 1100, as long as the cutting portion 1200 can be completely accommodated in the recess 1101 without protruding from the base 1100.
[0049] When producing the cutting assembly 1000, the substrate 1100 is pre-shaped into the radial contraction state. It should be understood that the substrate 1100 should be made of a material with high elasticity, so that when the substrate 1100 is subjected to a radially outward force, the substrate 1100 expands radially and stores elastic potential energy. When the force is canceled, the substrate 1100 releases the elastic potential energy and switches to the radial contraction state under the action of the elastic potential energy. Optional materials include metal materials or polymer materials, and the optional metal material is, for example, nickel-titanium alloy.
[0050] Usually, if Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the base 1100 includes a first proximal connection portion 1110, a main body portion 1120 and a first distal connection portion 1130 which are connected in sequence. When the base 1100 is in the radial expansion state, the outer diameter of the first proximal connection portion 1110 gradually increases from the proximal end to the distal end, the main body portion 1120 has a substantially uniform outer diameter, and the outer diameter of the first distal connection portion 1130 gradually decreases from the proximal end to the distal end.
[0051] In some optional embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The first proximal connecting portion 1110 includes a plurality of proximal connecting wires 1111 and a proximal engaging ring 1112, and the two ends of the proximal connecting wires 1111 are respectively connected to the proximal engaging ring 1112 and the main body 1120. When the base 1100 is in the radially expanded state, the outer diameter of the proximal engaging ring 1112 is smaller than the outer diameter of the main body 1120. All the proximal connecting wires 1111 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the base 1100.
[0052] The first distal connection part 1130 includes a plurality of distal connection wires 1131 and a distal coupling ring 1132, and the two ends of the distal connection wires 1131 are respectively connected to the distal coupling ring 1132 and the main body 1120. When the base 1100 is in the radial expansion state, the outer diameter of the distal coupling ring 1132 is smaller than the outer diameter of the main body 1120. All the distal connection wires 1131 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the base 1100.
[0053] The main body 1120 includes a plurality of main body engagement rings 1121 and a plurality of main body connection wires 1122. All the main body engagement rings 1121 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the base 1100, and the main body engagement ring 1121 at the most proximal end is connected to the first proximal end connection portion 1110, specifically connected to the distal ends of all the proximal end connection wires 1111; the main body engagement ring 1121 at the most distal end is connected to the first distal end connection portion 1130, specifically connected to the proximal ends of all the distal end connection wires 1131. All the main body connection wires 1122 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the base 1100.
[0054] Each of the main body engagement rings 1121 is connected to all of the main body connection wires 1122, and each of the main body connection wires 1122 is connected to all of the main body engagement rings 1121. Each of the cutting portions 1200 is disposed at the junction of one of the main body engagement rings 1121 and one of the main body connection wires 1122. The cutting portion 1200 is connected to the main body engagement rings 1121 and / or the main body connection wires 1122 by welding or any other suitable means.
[0055] Further, when the base 1100 is in the radial contraction state, at least one first wavy structure 1121a is formed on each of the main body engagement rings 1121, and the crests and troughs of the first wavy structures 1121a are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction of the base 1100. One of the crests and troughs of the first wavy structure 1121a faces the first proximal connection portion 1110, and the other faces the first distal connection portion 1130. The first wavy structure 1121a and the recess 1101 are also staggered in the circumferential direction of the base 1100. By providing the first wavy structure 1121a on the main body engagement ring 1121, an expansion margin is reserved, which is conducive to the base 1100 expanding radially to a larger outer diameter under the action of a radially outward force.
[0056] And, when the base 1100 is in the radial contraction state, at least one second wavy structure 1122a is formed on each of the main body connecting wires 1122. The crests and troughs of the second wavy structures 1122a are arranged alternately in the axial direction of the base 1100, and the crests and troughs of the second wavy structures 1122a are arranged relatively along the circumference of the base 1100 on the axial projection of the main body 1120 (i.e., the projection on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the base 1100). The second wavy structures 1122a are gradually straightened during the radial expansion process of the base 1100, so that the axial length of the main body 1120 can match the increase in the radial dimension and avoid the shortening of the main body 1100.
[0057] It should be understood that the first wavy structure 1121a and the second wavy structure 1122a always exist before the base 1100 is fully expanded. After the base 1100 is fully expanded, the main body joint ring 1121 is expanded into a circular or quasi-circular shape, so that the first wavy structure 1121a no longer exists, and the main body connecting wire 1122 is expanded into a straight line shape so that the second wavy structure 1122a no longer exists.
[0058] Similar to the main connecting wire 1122, when the base 1100 is in the radial contraction state, Figure 1 As shown, at least one third wavy structure 1111a may be formed on each of the proximal connecting wires 1111 , and / or at least one fourth wavy structure 1131a may be formed on each of the distal connecting wires 1131 .
[0059] The cutting part 1200 is, for example, a blade. The embodiment of the present invention has no particular limitation on the shape of the blade, as long as it can cut calcified tissue and / or plaque tissue in the blood vessel. Figure 6 The shape of the blade in the longitudinal section of the cutting assembly 1000 (ie, the section parallel to the axis of the base 1100) is any one of a trapezoidal, rectangular or sawtooth shape.
[0060] The cutting assembly 1000 includes a plurality of cutting parts 1200. In some embodiments, all the cutting parts are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the base, and each cutting part extends continuously in the axial direction of the base (not shown in the figure).
[0061] In other embodiments, all the cutting portions 1200 are divided into a plurality of cutting portion groups (not marked in the figure), and each cutting portion group includes a plurality of the cutting portions 1200. The plurality of cutting portion groups are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the base 1100, and all the cutting portions 1200 in the same cutting portion group are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the base 1100. In this embodiment, the cutting assembly 1200 is more likely to bend in the area between two axially adjacent cutting portions 1200. In other words, this arrangement of the cutting portions 1200 can reduce the rigidity of the cutting assembly 1000 and improve the bending performance of the cutting assembly 1000, so that the cutting assembly 1000 can more easily pass through the tortuous part of the blood vessel and accurately reach the lesion. In this embodiment, the number of the cutting portion groups is 2 to 5, each of the cutting portion groups includes 2 to 4 cutting portions 1200, and the length L of each cutting portion 1200 in the axial direction of the base 1100 (such as Figure 6 The diameter of the fiberglass shell (as shown) is 3mm to 6mm.
[0062] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The cutting assembly 1100 further includes a developing element, which is referred to as a first developing element 1300. The first developing element 1300 is disposed at any suitable position of the base 1100, and is used for developing under the action of X-rays when the cutting assembly 1000 is inserted into the body, so as to indicate the position of the cutting assembly 1000. In an optional implementation, there are multiple first developing elements 1300, and each of the first developing elements 1300 can be disposed between any two adjacent cutting portions 1200, for example, each of the first developing elements 1300 is disposed between two adjacent cutting portions 1200 along the axial direction of the base 1100; or, each of the first developing elements 1300 is disposed between two circumferentially adjacent cutting portions 1200.
[0063] In addition, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The medical cutting device 100 further includes a pushing rod 2000, the distal end of which is connected to the proximal end of the base 1100. The pushing rod 2000 is used to transmit a pushing force so that the cutting assembly 1000 in the radially compressed state can be pushed into the blood vessel.
[0064] Preferably, the push rod 2000 includes a rod body (not shown in the figure) and a hydrophilic coating (not shown in the figure) selectively disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the rod body. Here, the hydrophilic coating "selectively disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the rod body" means that the hydrophilic coating may be disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the rod body, or may not be disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the rod body. When the hydrophilic coating is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the rod body, the hydrophilicity of the push rod 2000 can be improved and the pushing resistance can be reduced.
[0065] Furthermore, if Figures 7 to 11 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a medical cutting kit 10, the medical cutting kit 10 comprises a balloon catheter 200 and the aforementioned medical cutting device 100, the medical cutting device 100 is sleeved on a part of the outer circumference of the balloon catheter 200. The balloon catheter 200 comprises a tube assembly 3000 and a balloon body 4000 disposed at the distal end of the tube assembly 3000. The balloon body 4000 is used to be detachably inserted into the inner cavity of the base 1100.
[0066] The tube assembly 3000 and the balloon body 4000 of the balloon catheter 200 can be combined in any suitable manner in the prior art. For example, in an optional implementation, the tube assembly 3000 includes an inner tube 3100 and an outer tube 3200, the inner tube 3100 is partially inserted into the outer tube 3200, and the distal end of the inner tube 3100 extends from the distal end of the outer tube 3200, and the area between the outer surface of the inner tube 3100 and the inner surface of the outer tube 3200 constitutes a filling agent flow channel. The balloon body 4000 is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the distal end of the inner tube 3100, and the distal end of the balloon body 4000 is sealed and connected to the distal end of the inner tube 3100, the proximal end of the balloon body 4000 is connected to the proximal end of the outer tube 3200, and the filling cavity of the balloon body 4000 is connected to the filling agent flow channel.
[0067] Generally, the balloon body 4000 includes a second proximal connection portion 4100, a straight portion 4200 and a second distal connection portion 4300 connected in sequence from the proximal end to the distal end. The total length of the cutting portion 1200 in the axial direction of the medical cutting kit 10 is 2 / 3 to 3 / 4 of the axial length of the straight portion 4200.
[0068] It should be noted that, when the cutting portion 1200 extends continuously along the axial direction of the base 1100, the total length of the cutting portion 1200 in the axial direction of the medical cutting kit 10 refers to the length of a single cutting portion 1200 in the axial direction of the base 1100. When all the cutting portions 1200 are divided into a plurality of cutting portion groups, and all the cutting portions 1200 in each cutting portion group are arranged at intervals in the axial direction of the base 1100, the total length of the cutting portion 1200 in the axial direction of the medical cutting kit 10 refers to the sum of the lengths of all the cutting portions 1200 in the same cutting portion group in the axial direction of the base 1100.
[0069] In addition, the balloon catheter 200 includes a second developing element 5000 and a guide head 6000. The second developing element 5000 is disposed on the inner tube 3100 and is located inside the balloon body 4000, and is used to indicate the position of the balloon body 4000. The guide head 6000 is connected to the distal end of the inner tube 3100 and is located at the distal side of the balloon body 4000.
[0070] Next, the usage of the medical cutting kit 10 is introduced.
[0071] The first way to use:
[0072] First, the guide wire 300 is pre-buried.
[0073] Then, the cutting assembly 1000 of the medical cutting device 100 in the radially contracted state is sleeved on the guide wire 300. By applying a pushing force to the pushing rod 2000, the medical cutting device 100 is pushed along the guide wire 300, so that the cutting assembly 1000 moves from the proximal end to the distal end until the first distal end connecting portion 1130 of the base 1100 passes through the narrow part of the blood vessel and the main body 1120 is located at the location of the calcified tissue and / or plaque tissue. In this process, the position of the cutting assembly 1000 in the blood vessel is observed through the first developing element 1300.
[0074] Afterwards, the inner tube 3100 of the balloon catheter 200 in the gripping state is sleeved on the guide wire 300. By applying a pushing force to the tube assembly 3000, the balloon catheter 200 is pushed along the guide wire 300, so that the balloon body 4000 is inserted into the inner cavity of the base 1100, and the guide head 6000 is inserted out from the distal end of the base 1100. During this process, the position of the balloon body 4000 in the blood vessel is observed through the second developing element 5000. At this time, the relative position relationship between the medical cutting device 100 and the balloon assembly 200 is as shown in FIG. Figure 8 and Fig. 9 shown.
[0075] Subsequently, the filling agent is perfused into the filling cavity of the balloon body 4000 through the filling agent flow channel to fill the balloon body 4000. During the filling process, the balloon body 4000 applies a radially outward force to the base 1100 to push the base 1100 to expand radially and push the cutting portion 1200 out so that the cutting portion 1200 protrudes from the base 1100 and can cut the calcified tissue and / or plaque tissue. At this time, the relative position relationship between the medical cutting device 100 and the balloon assembly 200 is as shown in FIG. Fig.10 and Fig.11 shown.
[0076] After the cutting is completed, the filling agent is discharged from the filling cavity through the filling agent flow channel, so that the balloon body 4000 is depressurized. At the same time, the force exerted by the balloon body 4000 on the base body 1100 gradually decreases to zero. The base body 1100 returns to the radial contraction state under the action of its own elastic force.
[0077] Next, the balloon catheter 200 is first withdrawn from the body, then the medical cutting device 100, and finally the guide wire 300 is withdrawn from the body; or, the balloon catheter 200 and the medical cutting device 100 are withdrawn from the body at the same time, and then the guide wire 300 is withdrawn from the body.
[0078] The second way to use:
[0079] First, the medical cutting device 100 in the radially contracted state and the balloon catheter 200 in the crimped state are assembled in vitro. That is, the balloon body 4000 of the balloon catheter 200 in the crimped state is inserted into the inner cavity of the base 1100 in the radially contracted state in advance, and the guide head 6000 is extended from the distal end of the base 1100.
[0080] Then, the inner tube 3100 of the balloon catheter 200 is sleeved onto the pre-buried guide wire 300 .
[0081] Afterwards, a pushing force is applied to the tube assembly 3000 of the balloon catheter 200 and / or the pushing rod 2000 of the medical cutting device 100 to push the medical cutting kit 10, so that the cutting assembly 1000 and the balloon body 4000 enter the blood vessel and reach the lesion location.
[0082] The subsequent usage steps are the same as the first usage method mentioned above and will not be repeated here.
[0083] In summary, in the technical solution provided by the present invention, by forming a depression for accommodating the cutting part at the position where the cutting part is set in the base of the medical cutting device in the radial contraction state, so that the cutting part does not protrude from the base, the medical cutting device in the radial contraction state can have a smaller outer diameter, so that the medical cutting device can enter small blood vessels with smaller diameters, and then cut the calcified tissue and / or plaque tissue in the small blood vessels. Moreover, during the transportation and positioning process of the medical cutting device, the cutting part will not damage the blood vessel wall. In addition, when a radially outward force is applied to the base by the balloon body of the balloon catheter, since the base isolates the cutting part from the balloon body, the cutting part will not damage the balloon body.
[0084] Although the present invention is disclosed as above, it is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
