AI Technical Summary
Existing amniotic fluid aspiration devices require first puncturing the amniotic sac with a special needle, and then inserting another blunt tube into the puncture hole to aspirate the amniotic fluid. This can easily lead to prolonged exposure time of the puncture hole, increase the risk of amniotic fluid leakage, and result in low operational efficiency.
An amniocentesis device integrating a needle and a blunt conical tip within the same syringe was designed. The needle retracts and moves to the blunt conical tip for extraction via a push block. A cylinder and servo motor are used to precisely control the extraction volume, and a detachable cap ensures sample sealing.
It simplifies the operation steps, reduces the need for human assistance, avoids positioning errors and safety hazards, ensures a sterile environment for samples and accurate volume control, reduces the risk of leakage, and is suitable for rapid sampling and testing needs.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a device for puncturing and extracting amniotic fluid. BACKGROUND
[0002] The fluid filled in the amniotic cavity is called amniotic fluid, which is the core protection and buffer medium for the fetus during its growth and development in the mother's uterus. It not only provides a constant temperature and shockproof intrauterine environment for the fetus, but also participates in the metabolism of the fetus, playing an irreplaceable role in maintaining the physiological stability of the fetus in the uterus. The source, amount and composition of amniotic fluid are not fixed, but show dynamic changes as the gestational age advances. This change is closely related to the organ development stage of the fetus and the physiological state of the mother, and is one of the important dynamic indicators for clinical evaluation of maternal and infant health. In the early stages of pregnancy, amniotic fluid is mainly dialysis fluid from maternal serum entering the amniotic cavity through the placenta, with a small amount of exudation from the surface of the placenta and the umbilical cord. When the fetal blood circulation is formed, water and small molecules in the fetus can exude through the unkeratinized fetal skin, forming part of the amniotic fluid. In the field of obstetrics, regular sampling and testing of amniotic fluid in pregnant women can effectively determine the health status of the fetus and the mother, timely detect hidden diseases that are difficult to detect during routine prenatal examination, and provide reliable laboratory basis for clinicians to develop targeted treatment plans (such as intrauterine intervention, early termination of pregnancy or postpartum treatment preparation), thereby reducing the health risks of mother and infant, and ensuring the safety of pregnancy and normal development of the fetus.
[0003] The existing liquid extraction device needs to use a special needle tube to puncture the fetal membrane first, and then use another blunt tube to insert into the puncture hole to extract amniotic fluid. During the process, not only the medical staff need to frequently alternate holding and replace the two types of instruments, but also often need the assistance of an assistant to pass the instruments, which is easy to cause the exposure time of the puncture hole to be too long, increase the risk of amniotic fluid leakage, or affect the extraction efficiency due to the positioning deviation when replacing the instruments.
