Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly to a hydrophilic-coated ventricular drainage tube and its packaging device. Background Art

[0002] Ventricular drainage is a commonly used treatment method in neurosurgery, which is used to relieve excessive cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricular system caused by various reasons and reduce intracranial pressure, etc. The brain tissue is one of the most sensitive and important organs in the human body. Even minor injuries may trigger a series of serious complications, such as neurological dysfunction, epileptic seizures, etc., which will further affect the prognosis and quality of life of patients.

[0003] The existing ventricular drainage tubes have the following problems during use:

[0004] On the one hand, during the process of inserting the drainage tube into the ventricle, due to the relatively high friction coefficient between its material and tissues such as brain tissue, this relatively large frictional force will not only increase the difficulty of the doctor's operation, but also easily cause mechanical damage to the brain tissue.

[0005] On the other hand, the surface characteristics of the existing ventricular drainage tubes make it easy for substances such as proteins and cells to adhere and deposit on their surfaces. Over time, these adhered substances will gradually block the drainage holes of the drainage tube, resulting in poor drainage. Poor drainage not only cannot effectively reduce intracranial pressure, but also may cause cerebrospinal fluid to accumulate in the ventricular system, further aggravating the symptoms of intracranial hypertension. At the same time, these adhered substances also provide a good living environment for microorganisms such as bacteria, greatly increasing the risk of infection. In severe cases, intracranial infection may occur, which is an extremely dangerous and difficult-to-treat complication and may endanger the life of the patient. Medical staff can only try to dredge the blockage through external operations, such as flushing with normal saline. Injecting normal saline into the drainage tube will cause the inflammatory cerebrospinal fluid in the tube to flow back into the ventricle, triggering surgical risks. For patients with intracranial infection, especially ventriculitis, it is usually necessary to combine cerebrospinal fluid drainage and intraventricular drug injection for treatment. If only unilateral lateral ventricular puncture and catheterization are performed, injecting drugs through the drainage tube will cause the inflammatory cerebrospinal fluid in the tube to flow back into the ventricle; if bilateral lateral ventricular puncture and catheterization are performed to separately achieve the functions of drainage and drug injection, it will cause unnecessary trauma to the patient.

[0006] In addition, all existing hydrophilic-coated drainage tubes need to be activated by using normal saline, etc. before the operation. The traditional preparation increases the preoperative preparation time, and during the activation process, the coating may become ineffective or be contaminated with bacteria due to contact with the coating.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a ventricular drainage tube that can reduce tissue damage caused by the drainage tube and reduce the risk of infection. Summary of the Invention
