[0029] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present invention, the scheme of the present invention will be further described below. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features therein can be combined with each other.

[0030] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; it is obvious that the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0031] A biliary drainage tube refers to a disposable soft catheter used clinically to drain bile after common bile duct incision and exploration. It is generally composed of a longer drainage hose and a short hose with a T-shaped connection at the end of the drainage hose, which is inserted into the incised extrahepatic bile duct. During medical use, an incision is made in the bile duct, and the short tube is passed through the incision and placed in the bile duct. The incision is then sutured for bile drainage.

[0032] Currently, the most commonly used biliary drainage tube is a T-type drainage tube. The short tube of the T-type drainage tube supports the common bile duct and ensures bile flow, while the long tube is used to drain bile out of the body. However, the long tube of the T-type drainage tube currently used is a single channel with a single function, which only serves to drain bile and cannot accurately measure bile duct pressure during and after surgery.

[0033] To solve the above technical problems, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a bile duct pressure measurement and drainage tube according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The present application provides a biliary pressure measurement and drainage tube 100 , which may include a short tube 110 , a long tube 120 , a diaphragm 130 , a first pressure sensor 140 , and a second pressure sensor 150 .

[0034] The short tube 110 is a tubular structure with both ends open. A bile drainage hole 111 is provided on the peripheral wall of the short tube 110 . The bile drainage hole 111 passes through the peripheral wall of the short tube 110 , that is, the bile drainage hole 111 is connected to the internal space of the short tube 110 .

[0035] The extension direction of the long tube 120 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the short tube 110, that is, the extension direction of the short tube 110 is the left-right direction (for example Figure 1 For example, the extension direction of the long tube 120 is the up-down direction (for example Figure 1 In the extending direction of the long tube 120, the long tube 120 includes a first port and a second port 122 relative to each other. The first port is connected to the peripheral wall of the short tube 110. Specifically, the first port can be bonded to the peripheral wall of the short tube 110.

[0036] The partition 130 is located in the long tube 120, one end of the partition 130 extends to the first port and is connected to the peripheral wall of the short tube 110, and the other end of the partition 130 extends to the second port 122. Specifically, one end of the partition 130 can be bonded to the peripheral wall of the short tube 110, separating the first port into a first sub-port 1211 and a second sub-port 1212. The first sub-port 1211 is located at the bile drainage hole 111, that is, the bile drained from the bile drainage hole 111 of the short tube 110 can only flow to the first sub-port 1211.

[0037] The partition 130 is connected to the inner wall of the long tube 120 at both side edges in the width direction. Specifically, the partition 130 and the inner wall of the long tube 120 can be bonded. The partition 130 separates the long tube 120 into a first semicircular tube 1201 and a second semicircular tube 1202. The partition 130 includes a first surface 131 facing the first semicircular tube 1201 and a second surface 132 facing the second semicircular tube 1202.

[0038] The second semicircular tube 1202 is provided with an ascites drainage hole 1203 , and the ascites drainage hole 1203 runs through the second semicircular tube 1202 .

[0039] The first pressure sensor 140 is disposed at one end of the first surface 131 close to the first sub-port 1211 , so that the bile drained from the bile drainage hole 111 can reach the first pressure sensor 140 immediately, thereby detecting the pressure in the bile duct.

[0040] The second pressure sensor 150 is disposed on the second surface and is arranged opposite to the ascites drainage hole 1203. In this way, the ascites drained from the ascites drainage hole 1203 can reach the second pressure sensor 150 as soon as possible, thereby detecting the intra-abdominal pressure.

[0041] The first pressure sensor 140 and the second pressure sensor 150 may be piezoresistive pressure sensors.

[0042] It should be noted that when the biliary pressure measurement and drainage tube 100 is inserted into the patient's common bile duct, the short tube 110 is located in the common bile duct, and the bile in the common bile duct flows into the first sub-port 1211 from the bile drainage hole 111 of the short tube 110. The first pressure sensor 140 measures the internal pressure of the bile duct, and the ascites drainage hole 1203 is located in the abdominal cavity. The ascites in the abdominal cavity flows from the ascites drainage hole 1203 to the second pressure sensor 150, and the second pressure sensor 150 measures the internal pressure of the abdominal cavity. Therefore, whether during or after surgery, medical personnel can obtain intra-bile duct pressure data and intra-abdominal pressure data at the same time, and thus can obtain accurate biliary pressure data without the influence of abdominal pressure.

[0043] Understandably, during common bile duct exploration, bile duct pressure can be directly and conveniently measured under anesthesia. The measured values ​​can be used to assess the surgical approach to the common bile duct and determine whether primary suturing or T-tube drainage is appropriate. This product can accurately measure bile duct pressure while the patient is awake after surgery, eliminating the influence of abdominal pressure. Based on changes in bile duct pressure, the T-tube used for bile drainage can be clamped early. This product can also perform sinusography through the side holes of the long tube to assess the formation of periductal sinuses. Once the sinuses are fully formed, the T-tube can be removed to reduce and prevent the occurrence of bile fistulas.

[0044] In a specific implementation process, the inner diameter of the first semicircular tube 1201 is larger than that of the second semicircular tube 1202 .

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, there are multiple ascites drainage holes 1203 , and the multiple ascites drainage holes 1203 are arranged at intervals in the extension direction of the long tube 120 .

[0046] Specifically, 3, 4, 5 or 6 ascites drainage holes 1203 may be provided in the extension direction of the long tube 120 to ensure that the ascites in the abdominal cavity can flow to the second pressure sensor 150 to obtain accurate abdominal cavity pressure data.

[0047] In some other embodiments of the present application, there are multiple ascites drainage holes 1203, the second semicircular tube 1202 includes an opening area opposite to the second pressure receptor 150, and the multiple ascites drainage holes 1203 are evenly spaced in the opening area.

[0048] That is to say, the ascites drainage holes 1203 can be arranged in multiple rows in the circumferential direction of the second semicircular tube 1202 , and multiple holes can be arranged in the extending direction of the second semicircular tube 1202 .

[0049] For example, in a specific implementation, if the size of the second semicircular tube 1202 allows, the ascites drainage holes 1203 can be arranged in two rows along the circumference of the second semicircular tube 1202, with six ascites drainage holes 1203 arranged along the extension direction of the second semicircular tube 1202, that is, twelve ascites drainage holes 1203 are evenly arranged in the opening area. This can better ensure that ascites in the abdominal cavity can flow to the second pressure receptor 150, thereby obtaining accurate abdominal pressure data.

[0050] Furthermore, the diameter of the ascites drainage hole 1203 is greater than or equal to 2 mm and less than or equal to 4 mm.

[0051] In a specific implementation process, the diameter of the ascites drainage hole 1203 can be set to 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 3 mm, 3.5 mm or 4 mm.

[0052] In this way, on the one hand, the diameter of the ascites drainage hole 1203 can be ensured to be large enough so that ascites can flow to the second pressure sensor 150 through the ascites drainage hole 1203. On the other hand, the diameter of the ascites drainage hole 1203 can be prevented from being too large, which may cause the tissue in the abdominal cavity to flow out.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, the orthographic projection of the first sub-opening 1211 on the peripheral wall of the short tube 110 coincides with the bile drainage hole 111. That is, the first sub-opening 1211 and the bile drainage hole 111 have the same shape and size. This can reduce the occurrence of subtle pressure changes caused by the different diameters of the first sub-opening 1211 and the bile drainage hole 111.

[0054] It should be noted that the biliary pressure measurement and drainage tube 100 may further include a first circuit board 160, a second circuit board 170, and a processor 180. The first circuit board 160 is disposed on the first surface 131, and the first pressure sensor 140 is electrically connected to the first circuit board 160; the second circuit board 170 is disposed on the second surface 132, and the second pressure sensor 150 is electrically connected to the second circuit board 170; the processor 180 is located outside the long tube 120 and is electrically connected to the first circuit board 160 and the second circuit board 170 respectively.

[0055] In this way, by setting the processor 180, the pressure data obtained by the first pressure sensor 140 and the second pressure sensor 150 can be directly subtracted to obtain accurate bile duct pressure data without the influence of abdominal pressure.

[0056] The bile duct detection drainage tube may further include a display device and a storage device, both of which are electrically connected to the processor 180. By providing the display device, medical personnel can observe accurate bile duct pressure data during and after surgery, eliminating the influence of abdominal pressure. By providing the storage device, accurate bile duct pressure data during and after surgery, eliminating the influence of abdominal pressure, can be stored for future access.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the short tube 110 , the long tube 120 , and the partition 130 are bonded together to form an integrated structure.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, both the short tube 110 and the long tube 120 are made of soft rubber. This facilitates trimming and shaping, makes insertion into the bile duct more convenient, and facilitates its movement within the abdominal cavity and out of the abdominal wall, while also reducing the patient's sense of rejection. It should be noted that the short tube 110 and the long tube 120 can be integrally formed, facilitating processing and production, reducing costs, and enhancing the integrity of the entire structure.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, the long tube 120 is made of a tough, pressure-resistant material, which can prevent the pipeline from being easily deformed by pressure, reduce the impact of angiography, guide wire placement, and deformation on the measured pressure results. At the same time, the long tube 120 can also be coated with an inner coating on the inner wall of the rubber tube to make it more tough and less prone to compression deformation.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, a notch is provided in the middle of the side of the short tube 110 facing away from the long tube 120. The notch allows the two ends of the short tube 110 to close in a Y-shape when the biliary drainage tube is removed, making it easier to remove the biliary drainage tube from the body and reducing the patient's discomfort.

[0061] Furthermore, medical staff can tailor the length of the short tube 110 and the position and size of the notch according to the requirements of the specific operation and the operating habits of the medical staff.
