Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical devices, and particularly to a PTFE etched tube with an adhesive layer, a multi-layer composite tube and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the field of medical devices, especially in the manufacture of composite catheters, the adhesion strength between the inner liner and the outer jacket (also known as Jacket) is a key factor affecting product quality. In the existing technology, PTFE etched tubes are widely used due to their excellent chemical stability and biocompatibility. However, due to the low surface energy of the PTFE material, the adhesion force between it and the outer jacket is insufficient, which easily causes delamination, affecting the service life and safety of the catheter.

[0003] The structure of a typical interventional medical composite catheter usually consists of three layers. The inner layer is usually a PTFE etched tube (or liner); the middle layer is usually a metal wire structure layer, which can be in the form of a metal wire braid or a metal wire winding; the outer Jacket is usually a thermoplastic, and polyether block polyamide (PEBAX) is the most common. Through the thermal composite process (Reflow process), the outer resin on the Jacket can infiltrate, spread and finally achieve high-strength riveting on the surface of the etched tube with high activity in the viscous flow state, so that the composite tube has good integrity and does not delaminate.

[0004] In the existing technical solutions, in order to improve the adhesion between the PTFE etched tube and the catheter, the etching process is usually adjusted, such as adjusting the process parameters of the etching solution concentration, temperature, etching time, cleaning method after etching, etc., in order to obtain an etched tube with appropriate surface activity and roughness. Although the adhesion can be improved to a certain extent, there is still a risk of delamination.

[0005] For the Reflow process, the bonding force between the etched tube and the Jacket must be achieved through the outer resin that penetrates the metal layer. The amount of the outer resin that can reach the surface of the etched tube has a decisive impact on the bonding effect. However, adjusting the surface properties of the etched tube can only ensure that the outer resin reaching the surface of the etched tube is fully utilized, but cannot control the amount of the outer resin reaching the surface of the etched tube in the heated state. When the melting point of the outer resin is relatively high and the melt index is relatively low, making it difficult to flow during the Reflow process, even if the surface state of the etched tube is good, due to the lack of a sufficient amount of resin reaching the surface of the etched tube, it is still impossible to achieve sufficient wetting of the surface of the etched tube and form the aforementioned firm riveting structure. Moreover, for the etched tubes prepared by traditional processes, even at the beginning or for some time after the end of Reflow, although the bonding force between the layers of the composite tube is relatively high, its aging resistance is often poor. The reason is that although the riveting between the outer resin formed during Reflow and the etched tube has reached a certain level, since the amount of the outer resin penetrating the metal layer is limited, the number of riveting sites is still not enough and the degree of riveting is still not high. During long-term storage, this riveting layer will still fail, reducing the service life of the product. Summary of the Invention

[0011] In some embodiments, the multi-layer composite tube sequentially includes a PTFE etched tube with an adhesive layer, a middle metal layer, and an outer resin layer from the inside to the outside.

[0012] In some embodiments, the material of the outer resin layer of the multi-layer composite pipe is polyether block polyamide, polyamide or thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, the thickness of the outer resin layer is 0.05 - 0.55 mm, and the thickness of the intermediate metal layer is 0.026 - 0.2 mm.

[0013] The third aspect of the present application provides a method for preparing the PTFE etched tube with an adhesive layer, comprising the following steps:

[0014] S1: Treat the PTFE base tube through a wet etching technique to form an etched layer on the surface, and obtain the PTFE etched tube;

[0015] S2: Heat the polymer raw material particles to 60 - 120 °C and dissolve them in an organic solvent under stirring. After complete dissolution, a solution is formed, and the solution is cooled to 25 - 50 °C;

[0016] S3: Seal both ends of the PTFE etched tube prepared in step S1, and immerse it in the solution described in S2 to form an adhesive layer, and the soaking time is 10 s - 10 min;

[0017] S4: Take out the tube soaked in S3 and dry it to obtain the PTFE etched tube with an adhesive layer.

[0018] In some embodiments, in step S2 of the method for preparing the PTFE etched tube with an adhesive layer, the material of the polymer raw material particles includes polyether block polyamide, polyamide, thermoplastic acrylic resin, silicone rubber or thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, the mass percentage of the polymer raw material particles in the solution is 2 - 40%, and the organic solvent is one or more of alcohol solvents, ketone solvents, and ester solvents. In some embodiments, the organic solvent is one or more of ethanol, n-butanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, glycerol, acetone, methyl ketone, cyclohexanone, ethyl acetate, and butyl butyrate.

[0019] The fourth aspect of the present application provides a method for preparing the multi-layer composite pipe, comprising the following steps:

[0020] S1: Put the PTFE etched tube with an adhesive layer on the stainless steel inner liner mandrel;

[0021] S2: Weave metal wires or wind a spring on its surface to form an intermediate metal layer;

[0022] S3: Sheath a resin outer tube on the intermediate metal layer to form an outer resin layer;

[0023] S4: Sheath an FEP heat shrinkable tube on the outer tube and perform thermal lamination;

[0024] S5: After the thermal lamination is completed, peel off the FEP heat shrinkable tube and extract the stainless steel inner liner mandrel to form the multi-layer composite pipe.

[0025] In some embodiments, the method for preparing the multi-layer composite tube is characterized in that in step S4, the heat shrinkage ratio of the FEP heat shrinkable tube is 1.3 - 2.0, and the conditions for the thermal composite are: the temperature is 200 - 300 °C and the speed is 0.9 - 3 mm / s.

[0026] Beneficial effects: The present invention relates to the field of medical devices, and specifically relates to a PTFE etched tube with an adhesive layer, a multi-layer composite tube and a preparation method thereof. The PTFE etched tube with an adhesive layer sequentially includes a PTFE base tube, an etched layer, and an adhesive layer from the inside to the outside, wherein the material of the adhesive layer is polyether block polyamide, polyamide, thermoplastic acrylic resin, silicone rubber or thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer. The multi-layer composite tube sequentially includes a PTFE etched tube with an adhesive layer, an intermediate metal layer, and an outer resin layer from the inside to the outside. At the same time, the present application also provides a preparation method for the PTFE etched tube with an adhesive layer and the multi-layer composite tube. The schematic diagram compared with Comparative Example 1 is as Figure 6 shown. For the multi-layer tube of the inner layer PTFE etched tube + intermediate layer metal layer + outer layer resin layer, during reflow, the outer layer resin cannot completely fill the micro-grooves on the surface of the etched tube, leaving voids and prone to delamination. For the multi-layer tube of the inner layer PTFE etched tube with an adhesive layer + intermediate metal layer + outer layer resin layer, during reflow, the adhesive layer is pre-filled into the micro-grooves of the etched tube sufficiently. During thermal composite, the outer layer resin is more likely to combine with the adhesive layer, making the multi-layer tube less prone to delamination. Adding an adhesive layer can improve the adhesion strength between the inner liner and the outer sleeve, reduce the delamination risk, and the peeling strength of this solution is stronger, with a force greater than 3.4 kN / m. After aging test for 79 days, the composite tube does not delaminate, and the equivalent natural aging time is 3 years without delamination, improving the durability and reliability of the catheter, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost and medical risk.

[0120] Table 1 Peel test results of the composite pipe

[0121]

[0122]

[0123] Aging test

[0124] Test method: In accordance with YY / T 0681.1-2018 "Test Methods for Packaging of Sterile Medical Devices - Part 1: Guidelines for Accelerated Aging Test", Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1 were selected. The temperature of the aging test was 60 °C and the humidity was 22%. The delamination of the corresponding multi-layer composite pipes at different aging times was analyzed and compared, as shown in Table 2 below.

[0139]

[0140]

[0141] As shown in Table 1 and Table 2, in Examples 1-5, the multi-layer composite pipe was subjected to a peel test, and its peel strength was greater than 3.4 kN / m. After aging for 79 days, the composite pipe did not delaminate. The equivalent natural aging time was 3 years without delamination, and its peel strength was greater than 2.5 kN / m. In Comparative Example 1, the multi-layer composite pipe was subjected to a peel test, and its peel strength was 2.6 kN / m. After aging for 53 days, the composite pipe did not delaminate. The equivalent natural aging time was 2 years without delamination, and its peel strength was 1.2 kN / m. After aging for 79 days, the composite pipe delaminated.

[0142] Compared with Comparative Example 1, in Examples 1-5, there is an adhesive layer on the PTFE etched pipe, and the composite pipe has a stronger peel strength and a longer aging time, that is, a longer effective storage time.

[0143] Compared with Comparative Example 2, in Examples 1-5, there is an etched pipe layer and an adhesive layer on the PTFE. The composite pipe has a stronger peel strength. When there is no etched layer on the PTFE, its composite ability is poor and it is extremely easy to delaminate.

It should be understood that the above are only specific embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present application.
