Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of medical devices, in particular to an organ adapter pipe capable of automatically separating air bubbles. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the conventional scheme, see Figure 1 , a perfusion system is usually connected to the arterial wall of an organ to be repaired using a T-shaped adapter pipe, which is usually connected to a perfusion circulation loop at a first luer head A1, connected to the arterial wall of the organ at a connection end B, and provided with a perfusion gas outlet second luer head A2 at the rear of the adapter pipe. The perfusion liquid flows in from the first luer head A1 inlet, and the perfusion gas is pushed out from the rear gas outlet second luer head A2 under the pressure in the pipeline. When the air in the adapter pipe is completely discharged, the gas outlet second luer head A2 is closed by a luer plug seal cover in a manual manner, the perfusion liquid flows from the connection end B into the organ, and the perfusion mode is entered.

[0003] In US9642625B2, a perfusion system is usually connected to the arterial wall of an organ to be repaired using a repeatable open adapter pipe, which is connected in a clamped manner. The adapter pipe is usually provided with a perfusion inlet at the front and a perfusion gas outlet at the rear. The adapter pipe has two layers, and a passage is formed at the bottom for clamping and sealing connection with the organ to be repaired. The perfusion liquid flows in from the inlet, and the perfusion gas is pushed out from the rear gas outlet under the pressure in the pipeline. When the air in the adapter pipe is completely discharged, the gas outlet is closed by a seal cover in a manual manner, and the perfusion mode is entered.

[0004] The existing problems are: (1) In the conventional scheme and US9642625B2 scheme, since the gas outlet of the adapter pipe is in the axial direction, it is difficult to avoid that all the gas at the top of the cavity is discharged in time and fully in the initial state of perfusion. Small air bubbles remaining at the top of the adapter pipe have the risk of forming embolism to the organ during subsequent perfusion; (2) The US9642625B2 scheme needs to be repeatedly opened and closed by manual operation, which is complex and affects the timeliness of organ perfusion repair, and also increases the risk of organ contamination; (3) In the conventional scheme, the organ is usually fixed on the adapter pipe by lacing with a lacing wire. The operation is complex, and the lacing wire is too tight, which can easily damage the organ tissue and affect the subsequent transplantation surgery. If the lacing wire is too loose, the organ can easily fall off during perfusion and cannot be effectively perfused. Moreover, the lacing wire directly acts on the blood vessels of the organ, which can cause irreversible damage to the organ. SUMMARY

[0005] The organ adapter pipe of the application can automatically separate bubbles, is convenient to operate, reliable in connection, and can automatically remove bubbles.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the application adopts the following technical scheme: an organ adapter pipe capable of automatically separating bubbles, characterized in that the organ adapter pipe comprises a base support, a through hole is arranged on the base support, and a flexible gasket is arranged at the through hole;

[0007] A flip cover is arranged on the base support, one side of the flip cover is rotatably connected to one side of the base support, a water-blocking and air-permeable film mounting port is arranged on the flip cover, a water-blocking and air-permeable film is arranged at the water-blocking and air-permeable film mounting port, a pipe leading into the flip cover is arranged on the flip cover, a clamping end surface is arranged at the inner bottom of the flip cover, and the clamping end surface and the flexible gasket clamp the renal artery wall to perform perfusion after the flip cover and the base support are closed.

[0008] Further, a flexible gasket mounting groove for mounting the flexible gasket is arranged on the base support.

[0009] Further, a clamping opening is arranged on the other side of the base support, a clamping block is arranged on the other side of the flip cover, and the clamping block and the clamping opening are matched.

[0010] Further, a shaft portion is arranged on one side of the flip cover, and a hanging ear is arranged on one side of the base support, the hanging ear and the shaft portion being rotatably connected.

[0011] Further, a support is further included, the support having a support main body, a transverse mounting groove being arranged on the support main body, a top slot being arranged at the top of the support main body, and the closed base support and flip cover being mounted at the transverse mounting groove.

[0012] Further, a tray is further included, the tray having a first disc body and a second disc body, the first disc body and the second disc body being rotatably connected, the support and the first disc body being detachably connected, and the inside being a containing cavity after the first disc body and the second disc body are closed.
