Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field related to the preparation of interventional catheters, and in particular to a plastic interventional catheter and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Interventional catheters are a type of medical catheter. According to their functions, they are mainly divided into vascular catheters, gastrointestinal catheters, biliary catheters and urinary tract catheters. According to their materials, they are mainly divided into two categories: metal catheters and non-metallic catheters. Among them, non-metallic catheters are generally made of polymer materials, have good biocompatibility, softness and plasticity, and are suitable for disposable use.

[0003] The existing Chinese patent application with publication number CN112828172A discloses a hydraulic catheter expanding machine, including a clamp, a power cord, a base, a switch, a CNC panel, a expanding cone, a slide A, a spindle servo system, an oil tank, a hydraulic catheter positioning mechanism, a ball screw A, a ball screw bearing support and a nut A; a box is installed at one end of the upper surface of the base, and the box covers the spindle servo system for protecting the spindle servo system; the end where the box is located is the left end, and the CNC panel is installed on the front end face of the box; in this invention, the cooperation between the hydraulic catheter positioning mechanism and the slide A can determine the accurate processing feed amount, and at the same time, the clamp can effectively clamp the hydraulic catheter. In actual operation, the size is accurate, the use is convenient and quick, the expanding efficiency is high, and the yield rate is above 90%, which greatly improves work efficiency.

[0004] However, the catheter preparation device has the following defects when used:

[0005] 1. Existing catheter preparation equipment requires reaming the interior of a catheter (interventional catheter) during production and processing, making the catheter hollow. However, in typical catheter reaming equipment, the reamer (reaming pin, etc.) rotates during reaming, while the catheter to be reamed moves to complete the reaming process. During this process, the axis positions of the rotating and moving catheters are located at different locations, resulting in large errors during actual processing, resulting in a rough reamed surface.

[0006] 2. When existing catheter preparation equipment is used to produce and process catheters (interventional catheters), workers are required to manually place the catheter to be expanded on the corresponding hydraulic catheter positioning mechanism during the actual material expansion process. This is inconvenient, has high labor costs, and does not meet the automation requirements of modern factories. Summary of the Invention

[0037] The present invention provides a method for preparing a plastic interventional catheter, comprising the following steps:

[0038] S1. When preparing the catheter tubes that will form the interventional catheter, several cut catheter tubes of corresponding sizes are first placed inside the loading frame. The material is automatically pushed by a push cylinder driving a push block. Simultaneously, when the catheter tubes move to the side of the loading section, the push cylinder drives a push component to move, allowing the catheter tubes to pass through the loading section and move to the top of the support clamp. A robotic arm assists in gripping the catheter tubes, completing the stable placement of the catheter tubes.

[0039] S2. When the catheter tube body is located at the top of the support clamp, the DC motor drives the threaded rod to rotate, driving the extrusion clamp connected to the external thread of the threaded rod to press and move downward, thereby pressing and fixing the catheter tube body on the top of the support clamp. After that, the electric slider moves the catheter tube body to the inside of the reaming pin, and the reaming pin is driven to move and rotate by rotating the telescopic assembly to complete the reaming operation of the catheter tube body.

[0040] S3. The catheter tube body after hole expansion is moved to the side of the cylinder clamp at the output end of the stretching cylinder with the assistance of the manipulator.

[0041] Compared with the existing technology, one or more of the above technical solutions have the following beneficial effects:

[0042] 1. This plastic interventional catheter and its preparation method: When the catheter body portion of the interventional catheter is processed and produced, the reaming pin for reaming the catheter body can be driven by a hydraulic cylinder to move the lifting plate, movable support rod, cylinder clamp and reaming pin at its output end, thereby continuously pushing the reaming pin to move. At the same time, the movable support rod that pushes the reaming pin to move can be driven by a servo motor to rotate the second gear, first gear, guide portion, groove portion, movable support rod, cylinder clamp and reaming pin at its output end. The movable support rod rotates synchronously with the movement of the reaming pin (performed on a set of movable support rods), thereby improving the accuracy of reaming the catheter body, making the inner wall of the catheter body smoother, and facilitating subsequent reprocessing (surface laser welding, outer layer photocuring cross-linking, etc.);

[0043] 2. This plastic interventional catheter and its preparation method, when the catheter tube portion of the interventional catheter is expanded, several catheter tubes to be expanded can be added to the interior of the loading frame respectively, and the pushing cylinder drives the output end pushing frame and the pushing block to move, so that the catheter tubes are moved to the side of the loading part in batches. Afterwards, the pushing cylinder drives the output end pushing component to move, so that the catheter tubes are automatically moved to the top of the support clamp seat, completing the automated catheter tube loading operation, improving the efficiency of the production and preparation of the interventional catheter, and eliminating the need for staff to assist in loading, thereby reducing costs;

[0044] 3. This plastic interventional catheter and its preparation method, when expanding the catheter body portion of the interventional catheter, can be driven by a DC motor to rotate the threaded rod at its output end, thereby driving the extrusion clamp seat connected to the threaded outer side of the threaded rod to move up and down, pressing down and fixing the catheter body on the top of the support clamp seat, ensuring that the catheter body will not shake during subsequent expansion, improving the stability of the catheter body during expansion, and further improving the accuracy of the catheter body after expansion;

[0045] 4. This plastic interventional catheter and its preparation method, when the catheter body portion of the interventional catheter is expanded, the servo motor can drive the second gear, the first gear, the guide portion, the groove portion, the movable support rod and the support disc at the output end thereof to rotate, so that the horizontal catheter body can be rotated to a vertical state, which facilitates the subsequent grasping and fixing of the expanded catheter body by a robot arm, and automatically moves the catheter body to the side of the cylinder clamp at the output end of the stretching cylinder. Thereafter, the cylinder clamp respectively clamps and fixes the two ends of the catheter body, and the stretching cylinder drives the cylinder clamp to move telescopically, thereby automatically stretching and shaping the catheter body, thereby completing the preliminary processing of the plastic interventional catheter;

[0046] 5. The plastic interventional catheter and its preparation method can automate the processing steps of loading, clamping, pushing, expanding and stretching the catheter body during the production and processing of the catheter body, thereby further improving the efficiency of the production and processing of the catheter body.

The threaded rod 603 is rotatably connected at the top center of the guide frame 605, and the guide frame 605 and the extrusion clamp seat 604 are slidably connected.

[0087] In this embodiment, the extrusion clamp seat 604 presses down and fixes the catheter tube body 10 , and the extrusion clamp seat 604 can press down and fix the catheter tube body 10 to ensure stability when the catheter tube body 10 is expanded.

[0088] The equipment for preparing a plastic interventional catheter of the present invention can start the DC motor 602 to operate after the catheter tube body 10 moves to the top of the support clamp seat 601 through the console 30a1, thereby driving the threaded rod 603 at its output end to rotate, and then driving the extrusion clamp seat 604 connected to the outer thread of the threaded rod 603 to press down and move, thereby completing the installation and fixation of the catheter tube body 10, wherein the threaded rod 603 is rotatably connected to the support clamp seat 601, and the guide frame 605 limits the telescopic movement of the extrusion clamp seat 604.

[0089] Specific reference Figure 12 The stretching reducing assembly 90 includes a stretching bracket 901, which is installed on the top of the equipment base 30. Stretching cylinders 902 are installed on both sides of the top of the stretching bracket 901. The output end of the stretching cylinder 902 is connected to a cylinder clamp 70i, which clamps and fixes the catheter body 10 after expansion.

[0090] The equipment for preparing a plastic interventional catheter of the present invention can move the catheter tube body 10 to the side of the cylinder clamp 70i when stretching and shaping the catheter tube body 10 after expansion. The two sets of cylinder clamps 70i are designed to complete the clamping and fixation of the two ends of the catheter tube body 10. Afterwards, when stretching, the two sets of stretching cylinders 902 respectively drive the two sets of cylinder clamps 70i at their output ends to move, completing the stretching and shaping operation of the catheter tube body 10. When the catheter tube body 10 is actually stretched, it can be paired with a corresponding heating device to further improve the effect of stretching the catheter tube body 10.

[0091] See also Figure 1 - Figure 12 A method for preparing a plastic interventional catheter comprises the following steps:

[0092] S1. When preparing the catheter tube 10 that constitutes the interventional catheter, first, several catheter tubes 10 of corresponding sizes after cutting are placed inside the loading frame 402. The pushing cylinder 404 drives the pushing block 406 to move, thereby completing the automated material pushing. At the same time, when the catheter tube 10 moves to the side of the loading portion 408, the pushing cylinder 408b drives the pushing member 408c to move, so that the catheter tube 10 passes through the loading portion 408 and moves to the top of the support clamp 601. The robot 80 assists in clamping the catheter tube 10, completing the stable placement of the catheter tube 10.

[0093] S2. When the catheter tube body 10 is located on the top of the support clamp 601, the DC motor 602 drives the threaded rod 603 to rotate, driving the extrusion clamp 604 connected to the external thread of the threaded rod 603 to press and move downward, thereby pressing and fixing the catheter tube body 10 on the top of the support clamp 601. Then, the electric slider 502 moves the catheter tube body 10 to the inside of the reaming pin 70, and the rotating telescopic assembly 505 drives the reaming pin 70 to move and rotate, thereby completing the reaming operation of the catheter tube body 10.

[0094] S3. The catheter tube body 10 after hole expansion is moved to the side of the cylinder clamp 70i at the output end of the stretching cylinder 902 through the auxiliary operation of the manipulator 80. At this time, the cylinder clamp 70i completes the clamping and fixing of the catheter tube body 10 after hole expansion, and the operation of the stretching cylinder 902 automatically stretches the catheter tube body 10 after hole expansion from the outside to obtain a catheter tube body 10 of corresponding length.

[0095] In the present invention, the plastic interventional catheter is a "real-time clinical plastic medical interventional catheter" independently developed by Qishi Medical. It is based on the company's mature metal heat treatment and cold treatment modification and shaping technology. In addition to relying on the supporting performance of the pebax polymer material on the outer layer of the interventional catheter, it also focuses on the braiding heat treatment of the middle layer of the catheter and the cold treatment and process implementation capabilities of the middle layer winding spring.

[0096] Furthermore, the high-precision braided catheter mesh can be removed and, after degreasing and cleaning, heat-treated twice in an ultra-vacuum heat treatment furnace, the mesh in the portion of the catheter requiring clinical plasticity is processed according to the required process to achieve final plasticity and maintain the final shape. The finished stainless steel wire is then subjected to an ultra-high frequency cold setting process, where the plasticity portion of the catheter is instantaneously set using ultra-high frequency. This combination of processes allows the distal end of the rheologically formed catheter to be shaped in real time during clinical use, tailored to the individual patient's physiology, and maintains its shape after entry into the body.

[0097] The above solution can completely solve the problem that catheters on the current market are difficult to shape in real time or the catheter cannot maintain the shaped structure when it returns to the body after being shaped, making it difficult to achieve superselection of distal blood vessels to reach the actual lesion area during surgery.

[0098] The above are only preferred specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with this technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solutions and inventive concepts of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
