Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medical devices, and particularly relates to a pre-filled catheter sealing device. Background Art

[0002] During hemodialysis, the blood in the catheter is extremely prone to coagulation. Therefore, after each dialysis session, catheter sealing is required to ensure the patency of the catheter for subsequent treatment. Currently, anticoagulant sealing solutions usually use heparin or citric acid solution, which need to be manually perfused by medical staff using a syringe. This process is not only time-consuming but also prone to inaccurate liquid dosage due to improper operation, increasing the risk of thrombosis and even potentially causing catheter blockage. In addition, manual operation poses a potential risk of infection, increasing patient discomfort and the medical burden. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a convenient, accurate, and safe catheter sealing device, especially during pulsatile catheter sealing, which should not cause liquid backflow. To ensure environmental protection, as few disposable devices or components of disposable devices as possible should be used.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN102836473B with the patent name of single-cylinder pre-filled flushing and catheter sealing device discloses a single-cylinder pre-filled flushing and catheter sealing device. Although this design is simple to operate, during the catheter sealing stage, if pulsatile catheter sealing is used, it will cause blood reflux because the liquid storage device has a certain elasticity and will rebound after being irregularly compressed, and the greater the compression, the more obvious the rebound. If pulsatile catheter sealing is not used, the catheter sealing effect is poor.

[0004] Chinese Patent No. CN211485991U with the patent name of a pre-filled catheter sealing device discloses a pre-filled catheter sealing device that only has one liquid storage space and cannot complete flushing or catheter sealing, and needs to replace or use a three-way joint to complete two actions. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Aiming at the above-mentioned prior art, the object of the present invention is a pre-filled catheter sealing device that prevents backflow.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is realized as follows: A pre-filled catheter sealing device includes a first liquid storage device, a second liquid storage device, and an auxiliary injection device. The first liquid storage device is provided with an injection tube and a first accommodating bag. The second liquid storage device is provided with a second accommodating bag. The auxiliary injection device is provided with a limiting part, a accommodating part, and a pushing part. The injection tube is provided with an abutting part that matches the limiting part to achieve a limiting function. The accommodating part is provided with an accommodating cavity that can accommodate the first liquid storage device and the second liquid storage device. The pushing part can push the first accommodating bag or the second accommodating bag to achieve flushing or catheter sealing.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this design are: the injection tube and the catheter are matched and can be docked with the catheter to transport the liquid in the first holding bag to the catheter. The auxiliary injection device does not contact the liquid and can be sterilized and used multiple times. The first liquid storage device and the second liquid storage device are disposable. This can reduce disposable materials, reduce carbon emissions, reduce medical waste, and be more environmentally friendly and economical. The first liquid storage device and the second liquid storage device can also be used with different liquids to achieve one-time injection of two liquids, which is convenient and quick.

[0008] Furthermore, a rubber coating layer is provided on the outside of the second containing bag. The rubber coating layer is cylindrical and the inner wall is provided with adhesive so that the outer wall of the second containing bag is adhered to the inner wall of the rubber coating layer. The second containing bag is made of flexible material and can be folded inward. In this way, when the second containing bag is pushed for injection, the injection speed is more stable, the second containing bag will not wrinkle, and its volume change is more linear, and it is not easily affected by the volume change of the second containing bag.

[0009] Furthermore, the abutment portion is provided with a convex ring that forms an annular groove with the front end of the second receiving bag and the injection tube. The annular groove and the limiting portion are engaged to achieve limitation, which makes it easier to fix the injection tube and more stable when inserting the injection tube into the catheter docking position.

[0010] Furthermore, a puncture tube is provided at the rear end of the injection tube, and the puncture tube is provided with a sharp tip capable of puncturing the second receiving bag, so that the liquid injection of the second receiving bag can continue after the injection of the first receiving bag.

[0011] Furthermore, a guide hole is provided on the side wall of the puncture tube, so that the liquid in the first containing bag can be squeezed out completely from the first containing bag.

[0012] Furthermore, the second liquid storage device is provided with a sealing ring, which is located at the front end of the second holding bag. The sealing ring is provided with a sealing hole. The sealing hole matches the size of the puncture tube and after the puncture tube is inserted into the sealing hole, the sealing ring and the puncture tube are sealed and connected, thereby preventing leakage and contamination of the liquid when injecting the liquid in the second holding bag.

[0013] Furthermore, the auxiliary injection device includes a left barrel, a right barrel and a fixing ring. The left barrel and the right barrel adopt the same semi-cylindrical design so that the left barrel and the right barrel are combined to form a complete cylinder. The fixing ring is arranged on the outer periphery of the left barrel and the right barrel to fix the left barrel and the right barrel, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the auxiliary injection device.

[0014] Furthermore, the pushing portion is provided with a push handle, the front end of the push handle is provided with an end face that abuts against the rear end of the second containing bag, and a stepped groove is provided on the side of the push handle, so that the distance pushed by the push handle can be controlled by the stepped groove. Especially when pulse sealing the tube, it is necessary to continuously stop the injection and then re-inject. It is difficult for humans to grasp the injection volume each time. After setting the stepped groove, it is necessary to push a certain distance and then rotate the push handle before continuing to push. In this way, the amount of each push can be accurately grasped, and pulse flushing or sealing can be accurately achieved.

[0015] Further, support tubes are provided inside the left and right tube bodies. The outer side surfaces of the support tubes are in contact with the left and right tube bodies, and the inner side surfaces of the support tubes are in contact with the side surfaces of the push handles. Guide pins are provided on the inner side surfaces of the support tubes, and the guide pins are located in the stepped grooves to limit the movement or rotation of the push handles relative to the support tubes.

[0016] Further, a convex cavity is provided at the rear end of the first accommodation bag. The outer wall of the convex cavity matches the size of the sealing hole and can be inserted into the sealing hole, so that the second accommodation bag and the first accommodation bag are tightly connected, leaving a space for the puncture tube and making it easier to drain the liquid in the first accommodation bag.

[0031] In one embodiment, the pushing part 6 is provided with a push handle 35. The front end of the push handle 35 is provided with an end face that abuts against the rear end of the second accommodation bag 21. A stepped groove 36 is provided on the side of the push handle 35. The push handle 35 is equivalent to the piston of a syringe, but in this application, there is no need to set a piston structure, which can reduce costs. It is only necessary that the end face of the push handle 35 matches the second accommodation bag 21.

[0032] In one embodiment, a support tube 35 is provided inside the left tube 31 and the right tube 32 and is fixed by threads or a card slot. The outer side face of the support tube 35 abuts against the left tube 31 and the right tube 32. The inner side face of the support tube 35 abuts against the side face of the push handle 35.
