DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the application. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are used to explain the application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the application.
[0023] The embodiments of the application will be described below according to the whole structure of the application.
[0024] A blade-cutting balloon suitable for coronary artery stenosis, such as Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, the device includes an air pump 1. A pressure gauge 2 is installed on the outer wall of the end of the air pump 1. The pressure gauge 2 can monitor the pressure inside the balloon body 5 in real time. The end of the air pump 1 is provided with a connector 3. The other end of the connector 3 is connected to a conduit 4. The air pump 1 and the conduit 4 can be connected through the connector 3. The end of the conduit 4 away from the connector 3 is fixedly connected to the balloon body 5. Multiple sets of cutting blades 6 extending to the outside are slidably connected to the inner wall of the balloon body 5. When the balloon body 5 inflates, the cutting blades 6 are exposed, so that the calcified components can be cut.
[0025] See Figure 3 - Figure 5 It is known that a fixing tube 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the balloon body 5, and a movable block 8 is provided on the inner wall of the fixing tube 7. The fixing cylinder 71 is connected to the fixing tube 7, and multiple sets of fixing cylinders 71 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing tube 7. An extension rod 61 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the cutting blade 6. The extension rod 61 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing cylinder 71. When the internal pressure of the fixing tube 7 increases, the pressure pushes the extension rod 61 to move parallel to the inner wall of the fixing cylinder 71, which in turn drives the cutting blade 6 to extend. With the continuous pressurization of the air pump 1, the cutting blade 6 can be used to perform targeted deep cutting of the calcified components.
[0026] See Figure 5 It is known that a first silicone block 83 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one end of the fixed tube 7, and multiple sets of sliders 831 that fit against the inner wall of the fixed tube 7 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the first silicone block 83. The sliders 831 facilitate the smooth movement of the movable block 8 on the inner wall of the fixed tube 7. Connecting rods are fixedly connected to both ends of the movable block 8. The first silicone block 83 and the movable block 8 are connected by connecting rods. The end of the movable block 8 away from the first silicone block 83 is connected to a stop block 82 by a connecting rod. The stop block 82 contacts the inner wall of the fixed tube 7 during movement. When the first silicone block 83 is not fully compressed, the stop block 82 can limit the piston block 93, thereby facilitating the discharge of gas inside the fixed tube 7 when the cutting blade 6 is retracted.
[0027] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 It is known that the surface of the movable block 8 is provided with a slanted groove 81, and a set of cutting blades 6 are fixedly connected to a stop rod 62. The bottom end of the stop rod 62 is fixedly connected to a slanted block that matches the slanted groove 81. When the slanted block on the stop rod 62 penetrates the inner wall of the slanted groove 81, when the cutting blade 6 retracts, the movable block 8 can be pushed to move under the cooperation of the slanted block and the slanted groove 81, thus canceling the limit of the stop block 82 on the piston block 93.
[0028] See Figure 3 and Figure 4It can be known that the second silica gel block 91 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the fixed block 9, and the moving plate 92 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the second silica gel block 91 away from the fixed block 9, when the pressure of the inner wall of the balloon body 5 increases, the moving plate 92 moves under the pressure, and then the second silica gel block 91 is extruded, so that the piston block 93 is separated from the fixed pipe 7.
[0029] Referring to Figure 3 It can be known that the sealing block 94 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the moving plate 92 away from the second silica gel block 91, the sealing block 94 can be sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed pipe 7, the piston block 93 is fixedly connected to the center position of one side surface of the moving plate 92, and the piston block 93 is conical, and the piston block 93 can be inserted into the inner wall of the fixed pipe 7, because the piston block 93 is conical, when the cutting blade 6 is not completely retracted, the gas in the fixed pipe 7 can flow out from the gap between the piston block 93 and the inner wall thereof, when the piston block 93 is completely inserted into the inner wall of the fixed pipe 7, the sealing block 94 is just attached to the fixed pipe 7, at this time, the cutting blade 6 is completely retracted, thereby facilitating the next use.
[0030] Referring to Figure 3 And Figure 4 It can be known that the balloon body 5 is fixedly connected with two groups of limiting blocks 51 on the inner wall, and the outer wall of the moving plate 92 is provided with two groups of limiting grooves matched with the limiting blocks 51, through the cooperation of the limiting blocks 51 and the limiting grooves, the parallel movement of the moving plate 92 is facilitated.
[0031] The working principle of the application is that: firstly, the balloon body 5 is delivered and positioned to the inside of the blood vessel through the catheter 4, and then the pressure inside the balloon body 5 is applied through the air pump 1, and the pressure value inside the balloon body 5 is monitored in real time through the pressure indicator 2;
[0032] After the balloon body 5 is subjected to the pressure input by the air pump 1, it expands radially, so that the cutting blade 6 is exposed and performs cutting operation on the calcified tissue in the blood vessel, when the single cutting of the cutting blade 6 cannot completely cut open the calcified tissue, the pressure inside the balloon body 5 can be continuously applied by the air pump 1, the moving plate 92 inside the balloon body 5 is displaced under the action of the pressure, the second silica gel block 91 is extruded, after the moving plate 92 moves, the piston block 93 removes the sealing state of the fixed pipe 7, the gas enters the chamber of the fixed pipe 7, the cutting blade 6 is driven to stretch out along the cutting direction and apply cutting pressure through the extension rod 61, so that the depth cutting of the calcified tissue is realized, and the necessity of secondary cutting is effectively reduced.
[0033] When the calcified tissue needs to be cut in other directions, the gas in the balloon body 5 is discharged by the air pump 1, at this time the balloon body 5 shrinks, the stop block 82 limits the movement of the plate 92 under the action of the first silica block 83, when the gas in the fixed pipe 7 is discharged, it is in a negative pressure state, thereby driving the cutting blade 6 to reset in the stretching direction, the stop rod 62 is embedded in the inclined groove 81 in the movable block 8, by means of the inclined block at the bottom of the stop rod 62 and the inclined surface of the inclined groove 81, the movable block 8 is pushed to move, the first silica block 83 is extruded, when the cutting blade 6 is completely retracted to the initial position, the piston block 93 is completely embedded in the fixed pipe 7, and cooperates with the sealing block 94 to realize the sleeve sealing of the fixed pipe 7, thereby completing the sealing operation of the fixed pipe 7;
[0034] Then the balloon body 5 is driven to rotate by the catheter 4, the cutting blade 6 is adjusted to the target cutting position, and the calcified tissue is cut again, the stretching distance of the cutting blade 6 is positively related to the applied pressure and the pressure in the balloon body 5, which can effectively reduce the repeated cutting times of the cutting blade 6 and improve the cutting efficiency and effect, the contents not described in detail in the description belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.
[0035] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, the specific embodiments are only an explanation of the present application, and are not a limitation of the application, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner, and those skilled in the art can make modifications, replacements and variations of the embodiments without creative contribution after reading the specification, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present application, they are protected by the patent law.
