[0003] However, during the use of the negative pressure suction sheath, it is usually necessary to cooperate with the insertion part. However, the insertion part is prone to position shaking in the negative pressure suction sheath, which will cause the size and / or cross-sectional shape of the cavity area used to absorb stones to change during the process of the negative pressure suction sheath absorbing stones, which will make the negative pressure suction sheath less efficient in the process of absorbing stones.

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0038] The terms "first," "second," and the like in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or precedence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of this application can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein, and that the objects distinguished by "first," "second," and the like are generally of the same type, and do not limit the number of objects; for example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, the term "and / or" in the specification and claims refers to at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects connected are in an "or" relationship.
[0039] In each embodiment of the present application, "proximal end" and "distal end" refer to the position of each component relative to the user in the use environment, wherein the end closer to the user is designated as the "proximal end" and the end farther from the user is designated as the "distal end".
[0040] The inventive concept of this application is described here:
[0041] The vacuum suction sheath is a medical device used in urological surgeries, primarily during flexible ureteroscopy. Using the principle of negative pressure suction, the sheath aspirates fluid, stones, and other substances within the ureter, maintaining a clear surgical field of view. During surgery, the sheath removes lithotripsy in real time, ensuring a clear surgical field.
[0042] However, during the use of the negative pressure suction sheath, it is usually necessary to cooperate with the insertion part. However, the insertion part is prone to position shaking in the negative pressure suction sheath, which will cause the size and / or cross-sectional shape of the cavity area used to absorb stones to change during the process of the negative pressure suction sheath absorbing stones, which will make the negative pressure suction sheath less efficient in the process of absorbing stones.
[0043] Based on this, the inventor provides a negative pressure connector and a negative pressure suction sheath, in which an extension is provided at the distal end of the branch tube in the negative pressure connector, and the extension is used to press against the insertion part installed in the main channel cavity, so that the insertion part is pushed by the extension to an eccentric position with respect to the axis of the extension port of the main body, thereby enabling the insertion part to be located close to the inner wall of the extension port at the extension port, thereby enabling the size and / or cross-sectional shape of the cavity area in the extension port for aspirating stones to remain fixed and continuous, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of the negative pressure suction sheath in aspirating stones.
[0044] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 10 , a negative pressure connector 1 and a negative pressure suction sheath 2 provided in this application are described in detail through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.
[0045] Please also see Figures 1-4An embodiment of the present application provides a negative pressure suction sheath 2, which may include: a negative pressure connector 1 and a sheath tube 3, and the sheath tube 3 may be connected to the negative pressure connector 1.
[0046] See also Figure 5-Figure 7 In this embodiment, the negative pressure connector 1 may include: a main body 10, a branch tube 20 and an extension piece 30, wherein a main channel cavity 110 is formed inside the main body 10, and a protrusion port 120 communicating with the main channel cavity 110 is provided at the distal end of the main body 10, the sheath tube 3 may be connected to the protrusion port 120, and a side channel port 130 communicating with the main channel cavity 110 may be provided on the side of the main body 10. It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the connection method between the sheath tube 3 and the protrusion port 120. For example, in one embodiment, the sheath tube 3 can be detachably connected to the protrusion port 120, which can facilitate the disassembly and installation of the sheath tube 3 and the main body 10. At the same time, different lengths of the sheath tube 3 can be selected according to different usage scenarios, which is conducive to improving the applicability of the entire negative pressure suction sheath 2. For example, in another embodiment, the sheath tube 3 can be integrally formed with the protrusion port 120, which can ensure the sealing effect between the sheath tube 3 and the protrusion port 120. The specific connection method can be set according to actual conditions.
[0047] The branch tube 20 can be connected to one side of the main body 10, and a negative pressure suction channel cavity 210 can be formed inside the branch tube 20. The negative pressure suction channel cavity 210 can be connected to the side channel port 130. The branch tube 20 can be used to connect to external negative pressure, and negative pressure can be applied to the negative pressure suction channel cavity 210, and then the negative pressure passes through the extension port 120 and the sheath 3 to suck out the gravel or lesions in the patient's body.
[0048] See also Figure 7 The extension piece 30 can be connected to the distal end of the branch tube 20 and extend into the main channel cavity 110. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific direction of the extension piece 30. In a preferred embodiment, the distal end of the extension piece 30 can be set toward the extension port 120. The extension piece 30 can be used to push the insertion part 4 installed in the main channel cavity 110 to an eccentric setting with the axis M of the extension port. That is to say, in this embodiment, when the insertion part 4 is installed in the main channel cavity 110, the insertion part 4 will be pushed to one side of the axis M of the extension port by the extension piece 30, so that the insertion part 4 can be close to the inner wall of the extension port 120 at the extension port 120, so that the extension port 120 can have a larger continuous area for passing stones or lesions, thereby improving the passing rate of stones or lesions at the extension port 120, and thus helping to improve the absorption efficiency of stones or lesions.
[0049] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific structure and formation of the extension member 30. Figure 5As shown, for example, in one embodiment, the extension member 30 can be configured as a sheet-like structure, which can reduce the weight of the entire negative pressure connector 1. Figure 7 As shown, for example, in another embodiment, the extension member 30 can be configured as a tubular structure, which can help improve the stability of the connection between the extension member 30 and the branch pipe 20. That is, in this embodiment, the extension member 30 can be formed by extending from the distal end of the branch pipe 20, and the opening of the extension member 30 is the side channel opening 130. The specific form of the extension member 30 can be configured according to actual conditions and is not limited here.
[0050] Please refer again Figure 5 and Figure 6 Furthermore, in one embodiment, a limiting groove 310 is provided on the surface of the extension member 30 facing away from the negative pressure suction channel cavity 210. The limiting groove 310 can be used to limit the insertion portion 4 installed in the main channel cavity 110 to avoid or reduce the possibility of displacement of the insertion portion 4 when the insertion portion 4 abuts the extension member 30. The setting of the limiting groove 310 can help the area of the extension port 120 used for suction to maintain a fixed size and / or cross-sectional shape. Please combine again Figure 5 As shown, it should be noted that, since the insertion part 4 is installed in the main channel cavity 110, the up and down directions of the insertion part 4 have been limited, and due to the abutment of the extension part 30, the left and right directions of the insertion part 4 are also limited. Therefore, the aforementioned displacement refers to the displacement of the insertion part 4 in the front and back directions.
[0051] Please refer again Figure 7 In one embodiment, at least a portion of the inner wall of the extension port 120 is an inclined surface 121. The inclined surface 121 can be used to guide the insertion portion 4 to rush out of the extension port 120. It can be understood that since the extension piece 30 pushes the insertion portion 4 installed in the main channel cavity 110 to an eccentric setting with the axis M of the extension port, after the insertion portion 4 passes through the extension piece 30, the axial direction of its distal end is at least not directly facing the extension port 120, which will cause the insertion portion 4 to be inserted into the extension port 120 not smoothly. Therefore, the aforementioned structure can make it possible for the aforementioned inclined surface 121 to be used as a guide when the insertion portion 4 gradually extends toward the extension port 120, thereby allowing the insertion portion 4 to smoothly extend from the extension port 120.
[0052] Based on the above, in one embodiment, the main body 10 may include a structural portion 140 and a deformable portion 150, wherein the deformable portion 150 may be connected to the structural portion 140, and the deformable portion 150 may be arranged around the branch pipe 20 so that the branch pipe 20 can move relative to the main body 10. It should be noted that the aforementioned movement can be understood as the branch pipe 20 being able to swing relative to the main body 10 around the connection with the main body 10, so that the extension member 30 can selectively abut against the insertion portion 4 installed in the main channel cavity 110 during the swinging process. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific connection method of the structural portion 140 and the deformable portion 150. For example, in one embodiment, the structural portion 140 can be snap-connected with the deformable portion 150. In another embodiment, the structural portion 140 can also be integrally formed with the deformable portion 150. The specific setting can be based on actual conditions.
[0053] In addition, in some embodiments, the thickness of the deformable portion 150 in the area close to the structural portion 140 can be greater than the thickness of the deformable portion 150 in the area away from the structural portion 140, so that the deformable portion 150 can be deformed more easily, and thus the branch pipe 20 can be swung relative to the main body 10 more easily.
[0054] Specifically, when the extension member 30 contacts the insertion portion 4 installed in the main channel cavity 110 during the swinging process, the axis of the insertion portion 4 is eccentrically arranged with the axis M of the extension port at the extension port 120. When the extension member 30 does not contact the insertion portion 4 installed in the main channel cavity 110 during the swinging process, the axis of the insertion portion 4 is concentrically arranged with the axis M of the extension port at the extension port 120. That is, during the swinging process of the extension member 30, the insertion portion 4 will reciprocate up and down and / or left and right at the extension port 120, thereby causing the insertion portion 4 to move relative to the sheath 3. When gravel or lesions are stuck in the extension port 120, the swinging extension member 30 can promote the passage of the stones or lesions, thereby improving the efficiency of aspirating the stones or lesions.
[0055] Please also see Figure 7-10Furthermore, in one embodiment, an opening 220 may be provided on the side wall of the branch tube 20, and the negative pressure connector 1 may further include a blocking structure 40, which may be connected to the main body 10, and the blocking structure 40 may be used to cooperate with the opening 220. Specifically, when the proximal end of the branch tube 20 is connected to the external negative pressure, the blocking structure 40 may be adjusted to block the opening 220 so that the negative pressure can be transmitted to the distal end of the sheath tube 3, thereby causing the distal end of the sheath tube 3 to have a negative pressure attraction force, and the blocking structure 40 may also be adjusted to expose the opening 220, at which time the negative pressure will be transmitted to the opening 220, thereby causing the distal end of the sheath tube 3 to not have a negative pressure attraction force. That is, in this embodiment, the blocking structure 40 and the opening 220 may be used in conjunction and used as a negative pressure switch at the distal end of the sheath tube 3.
[0056] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific form of the blocking structure 40. For example, in one embodiment, the blocking structure 40 may include a connecting portion 410 and a blocking portion 420. The connecting portion 410 may be connected to the main body 10, and the blocking portion 420 may be connected to the connecting portion 410. The blocking portion 420 may be used to cooperate with the opening 220. The embodiments of the present application also do not limit the cooperation method between the blocking portion 420 and the opening 220. For example, in one embodiment, when the blocking portion 420 is used to block the opening 220, the blocking portion 420 may be interference fit with the opening 220.
[0057] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific form of the blocking structure 40. For example, see Figure 2 In this embodiment, the connecting portion 410 and the blocking portion 420 may be configured as an "L" shaped structure. Figure 4 In this embodiment, the blocking portion 420 can be configured as a groove-shaped structure, and the opening 220 can be blocked when the opening 220 is in the groove.
[0058] Please continue reading Figure 7-10 In a specific embodiment, the branch pipe 20 includes at least a first position and a second position on the path of movement relative to the main body 10. When the branch pipe 20 is in the first position, the blocking structure 40 blocks the opening 220. When the branch pipe 20 is in the second position, the blocking structure 40 avoids the opening 220.
[0059] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific locations of the first and second positions, nor do they limit the specific location of the opening 220. For example, in one embodiment, the opening 220 can be provided on a surface of the branch pipe 20 that is closer to the inside than the negative pressure connector 1, in which case the first position is closer to the main body 10 than the second position. It is understood that the opening 220 can also be provided on a surface of the branch pipe 20 that is closer to the outside than the negative pressure connector 1, in which case the first position is further away from the main body 10 than the second position.
[0060] In addition, in one embodiment, when the branch tube 20 is in the second position, the extension member 30 blocks the distal end of the branch tube 20 and abuts against the interior of the structural portion 140 to form a sealing band, which can be used to limit the backflow of objects such as gravel, lesions, etc. located in the branch tube 20.
[0061] As previously mentioned, when the extension member 30 is a sheet-like structure, the aforementioned sealing bag can be used to prevent the backflow of objects such as gravel and lesions within the branch tube 20, but it is difficult to prevent the backflow of liquids. Therefore, in this embodiment, the extension member 30 can preferably be a cylindrical structure. This not only allows the aforementioned sealing bag to prevent the backflow of objects such as gravel and lesions within the branch tube 20, but also prevents the backflow of liquids. In addition, when the extension member 30 is configured as a cylindrical structure, the side channel opening 130 is the distal opening of the extension member 30. This allows the side channel opening 130 to be closer to the extension port 120, thereby promoting the rapid entry of stones, lesions, etc. into the negative pressure suction channel cavity 210.
[0062] In some embodiments, the extension member 30 extends from the distal end of the branch tube 20 along an arc. When the branch tube 20 is in the first position, the extension line L of the extension member is tangent to the axial midline of the extension opening 120. This shortens the path for the gravel or lesion to move through the extension opening 120 toward the negative pressure suction channel lumen 210. At the same time, the extension member 30 can also guide the gravel or lesion as it moves toward the negative pressure suction channel lumen 210. It should be noted that the extension line L of the extension member refers to the extension line of the extension member 30 extending from the surface in contact with the insertion portion 4.
[0063] Please refer again Figure 7 and Figure 8Furthermore, in one embodiment, the negative pressure connector 1 may further include: a limiting structure 50, which may be connected to the main body 10. The limiting structure 50 is used to limit the movement of the branch tube 20 when the branch tube 20 is in the first position or the second position. That is to say, in this embodiment, the limiting structure 50 can keep the branch tube 20 stable when it is in the first position or the second position, thereby avoiding or reducing the influence of the external environment on the position of the branch tube 20, thereby affecting the operator's control of the coordination between the opening 220 and the blocking portion 420. The embodiment of the present application also does not limit the specific form of the limiting structure 50. Please also refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 For example, in one embodiment, the limiting structure 50 can be a block or a slot, etc. Preferably, the limiting structure 50 is arranged on opposite sides of the diameter of the outer circumference of the branch pipe 20 to improve the limiting effect. The specific setting can be made according to actual conditions.
[0064] Please also see Figure 7 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the branch tube 20 further comprises a third position along its path of movement relative to the main body 10. In this embodiment, there is sufficient clearance between the bottom of the structural portion 140 and the branch tube 20 to allow the branch tube 20 to swing downward and be in the third position. When the branch tube 20 is in the third position, the distal end of the branch tube 20 is closer to the axis M of the extension port when the branch tube 20 is located on the right side, and further away from the axis M of the extension port when the branch tube 20 is located on the left side, compared to when the branch tube 20 is in the second position.
[0065] In a more specific embodiment, the third position of the branch tube 20 can be at a position further to the right in the figure. At this time, the eccentricity of the insertion portion 4 installed in the main channel cavity 110 is greater than the eccentricity of the insertion portion 4 installed in the main channel cavity 110 when the branch tube 20 is in the first position. That is to say, in this case, the extension member 30 can drive the insertion portion 4 to move a greater distance in the left and right directions, and then can enable the insertion portion 4 to move a greater distance in the up and down directions, so as to facilitate the passage of stones or lesions.
[0066] In summary, the negative pressure connector 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with an extension piece 30 at the distal end of the branch pipe 20, and the extension piece 30 is set to extend into the main channel cavity 110 of the main body 10. The extension piece 30 can be used to push the insertion portion 4 installed in the main channel cavity 110 to an eccentric setting with the axis M of the extension port. When the insertion portion 4 is installed in the main channel cavity 110, the insertion portion 4 will be pushed to one side of the axis M of the extension port by the extension piece 30, thereby allowing the insertion portion 4 to approach the inner wall of the extension port 120 at the extension port 120. , thereby making the extension port 120 have a larger continuous area for passing stones or lesions, thereby improving the passing rate of stones or lesions at the extension port 120, thereby helping to improve the efficiency of stone or lesion suction, and solving the problem in the prior art that the insertion portion 4 is prone to position shaking in the negative pressure suction sheath 2, which causes the size and / or cross-sectional shape of the cavity area used for stone suction to change during the process of stone suction by the negative pressure suction sheath 2, which makes the negative pressure suction sheath 2 less efficient in the process of stone suction. Applying the above-mentioned negative pressure connector 1 to the negative pressure suction sheath 2 can also solve the aforementioned problem.
