Description

Currently, the puncture device fixation methods commonly used in clinical practice mainly include threaded fixation and balloon fixation. Among them, the threaded fixation method achieves fixation through the mechanical engagement of the threaded structure on the outer wall of the sleeve with the human tissue, but has defects such as large influence of tissue texture on fixation stability, easy mechanical damage to surrounding tissues, and large adjustment difficulty, which limits its application in complex body position surgeries.

[0003] Balloon fixation technology has gradually become the mainstream fixation solution for minimally invasive surgery puncture devices due to its advantages such as uniform stress during fixation, less damage to tissues, and adaptation to various surgical body positions.

[0004] The balloon fixation puncture technology in the prior art, as shown in Fig. 1-2 The positioning balloon 300 arranged outside the sleeve 100 enters the abdominal cavity 200 of the human body along with the sleeve 100 in the un-inflated state, and then adheres to the inner wall of the abdominal cavity 200 after inflation to form a support, thereby establishing a stable surgical working channel.

[0005] When the positioning balloon is under pressure, the fixation force is insufficient, and the sleeve is prone to displacement and shaking during the surgery, which may cause deviation in the operation of surgical instruments, and even damage the internal organs of the abdominal cavity; when the balloon is over-pressurized, especially when the puncture device is at a special angle (such as Fig. 3 The balloon pressure cannot be released, continuously pressing the tissues in the abdominal cavity, leading to local blood circulation disorder, causing tissue edema, ischemic injury, and postoperative complications such as abdominal pain and abdominal distension, prolonging the recovery period of the patient.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, illustrates several preferred embodiments of the present invention to make its technical content clearer and easier to understand. The present invention can be embodied in many different forms, and the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments mentioned herein.

[0017] In the accompanying drawings, components with the same structure are indicated by the same numerical designation, and components with similar structures or functions are indicated by similar numerical designations. The dimensions and thicknesses of each component shown in the drawings are arbitrary, and the present invention does not limit the dimensions and thicknesses of each component. To make the illustrations clearer, the thickness of some components has been appropriately exaggerated in the drawings.

[0018] like Fig. 4-5As shown, the balloon puncture device with pressure indicator of the present invention includes a piston rod 1, an outer cover 2, an indicator balloon 3, a cannula 4, a limiting balloon 5, a fixing ring 6, an air duct channel 7, a stopcock body 8, a stopcock valve 9, a pressure indicator device 10, and a one-way valve 11.

[0019] The sleeve 4 serves as the core support component of the device, and is provided with an air inlet branch pipe 41, a through hole 42, an indicator balloon groove 43, an air tube groove 44, a limiting balloon groove 45, and a pressure indicator device mounting hole 46 that is connected to the air inlet branch pipe 41.

[0020] The outer cover 2 is detachably connected to the cannula 4 via threads. Its surface is fitted with a stopcock body 8 and a stopcock valve 9, forming the on / off control mechanism for the surgical working channel. The piston rod 1 is a rigid rod-shaped structure that is inserted into the cannula 4 during puncture, serving to guide the puncture direction and protect the inner wall of the cannula and the tissue.

[0021] The indicator balloon 3 and the limiting balloon 5 are flexible sealing balloons, respectively embedded in corresponding slots of the sleeve 4, and are connected by an air passage 7 located in the airway slot 44. The upper tube head 71 of the air passage 7 is connected to the air inlet branch pipe 41 of the sleeve 4 through a through hole 42; the indicator balloon air hole 73 of the air passage 7 is connected to the indicator balloon 3; and the lower tube head 74 of the air passage 7 is connected to the limiting balloon 5. A one-way valve 11 is installed at the port of the air inlet branch pipe 41 to realize one-way gas injection and retention control.

[0022] The fixation ring 6 is fitted onto the cannula 4 and positioned between the indicating balloon 3 and the limiting balloon 5. During the procedure, its position is adjusted to compress the human tissue between the fixation ring 6 and the limiting balloon 5, thereby enhancing the stability of the trocar fixation.

[0023] like Fig. 6As shown, the pressure indicating device 10 includes an inner fixed transparent tube 106 and an outer movable transparent tube 109. The connector 101 at the front end of the fixed transparent tube 106 is fixed to the pressure indicating device mounting hole 46 of the sleeve 4, allowing the pressure indicating device 10 to communicate with the air supply branch pipe 41. The tail end of the fixed transparent tube 106 is provided with an outwardly extending internally threaded tube section 1061. The tail end of the movable transparent tube 109 is provided with an inwardly extending externally threaded tube section 1091. The externally threaded tube section 1091 of the movable transparent tube 109 is threadedly fitted into the internally threaded tube section 1061 of the fixed transparent tube 106, and its end extends into the tube of the fixed transparent tube 106. The end of the externally threaded tube section 1091 of the movable transparent tube 109 is a pressure plate 1092. The indicator rod 105 has its head 1051 installed inside the fixed transparent tube 106, and its body extends through the externally threaded section 1091 of the movable transparent tube 109 to the outside of both the fixed and movable transparent tubes 106 and 109. A spring 108 is positioned between the head 1051 and the pressure plate 1092. The movable transparent tube 109 is divided into three pressure zones by graduations: a front underpressure zone 102, a middle normal pressure zone 103, and a rear overpressure zone 104. The indicator rod 105 can move axially back and forth as the balloon system pressure changes. When the balloon pressure and spring force are balanced, the pressure status can be visually fed back through the area where the indicator rod head 1051 is located.

[0024] During the surgical procedure, medical staff hold the outer cover 2 and align the tip of the cannula 4, equipped with the piston rod 1, with the pre-set puncture site. Axial pressure is slowly applied to complete the tissue puncture. At this time, both the indicator balloon 3 and the limiting balloon 5 are in a naturally contracted state to avoid creating additional resistance to the puncture path. After the puncture is completed, the cannula 4 is fixed and the piston rod 1 is slowly withdrawn, so that the cannula 4 and the outer cover 2 together form a stable surgical working channel. Then, the external inflation device is connected to the input end of the one-way valve 11, and sterile gas is slowly injected. The gas is diverted through the gas inlet tube 41 to the balloon delivery channel 7 and the balloon system, pushing the indicator balloon 3 and the limiting balloon 5 to expand synchronously. During inflation, medical staff observe the position of the indicator rod 105 on the pressure indicator device 10 to determine the pressure status: In the initial inflation stage, the indicator rod 1051 remains in the under-pressure zone 102, indicating insufficient balloon pressure and the need for continued inflation; when the pressure reaches the clinically preset normal range, the indicator rod 1051 moves to the normal zone 103. At this time, both balloons have fully expanded and adhere to the surrounding tissue. Medical staff can fine-tune the position of the fixing ring 6 to compress the tissue between the fixing ring 6 and the limiting balloon 5, using the elastic tension of the tissue to firmly fix the cannula 4 and prevent displacement during surgery. If over-inflation causes excessive pressure, the indicator rod 105 will enter the over-pressure zone 104, forming a clear visual warning. Medical staff can manually depressurize to release some gas until the indicator rod 105 returns to the normal zone 103, effectively avoiding the risk of tissue compression damage.

[0025] During the procedure, medical staff can manually adjust the pressure in the three pressure zones—underpressure zone 102, normal zone 103, and overpressure zone 104—by rotating the movable transparent tube 109, based on the specific circumstances and the actual state of the indicator balloon 3. For example, rotating the movable transparent tube 109 clockwise moves it relative to the fixed transparent tube 106, causing the pressure plate 1092 to move forward as well. This shortens the distance between the rod head 1051 and the pressure plate 1092, further compressing the spring 108 and increasing its elasticity. Simultaneously, the scale on the movable transparent tube 109 moves forward, increasing the pressure within the normal pressure range. Conversely, if the movable transparent tube 109 is rotated counterclockwise, the pressure plate 1092 moves backward, increasing the distance between the rod head 1051 and the pressure plate 1092. The spring 108 extends further, reducing the spring force. At the same time, the scale on the movable transparent tube 109 also moves backward, and the corresponding pressure within the normal pressure scale range also decreases.

[0026] In another alternative embodiment, the pressure indicator as described above is connected to the indicator airbag 3 via a flexible air hose 30. In this embodiment, the pressure indicator can indicate the pressure of the limiting balloon 5 by means of the pressure of the indicator airbag 3, and the connection via the flexible air hose 30 makes it easier for the operator to operate the pressure indicator for observation and calibration procedures.

[0027] This embodiment integrates the pressure indicator device with the trocar body through an integrated design, enabling visual judgment of pressure status without relying on complex external monitoring equipment. The combination of the three-level pressure indication mechanism and manual pressure relief function effectively solves the problems of ambiguous pressure judgment and lack of early warning in traditional trocars, reducing surgical risks. Each component has a simple structure and is easy to assemble. All parts that come into contact with the human body are made of disposable sterile materials to avoid cross-infection, while controlling manufacturing costs, meeting the economic and practical requirements of clinical application.

[0028] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of the present invention without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of the present invention through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
