Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device liver transplant perfusion technology, specifically to a rapid fixation and perfusion device for the donor liver during liver transplantation. Background Technology
[0002] During liver transplantation, perfusion of the transplanted liver is usually required; this mainly involves cleaning and processing the donor liver. However, in actual operation, it is necessary to effectively fix the donor liver, but the epidermis of the donor liver is easily damaged during the cleaning process. Therefore, we propose a rapid fixation and perfusion device for the donor liver during liver transplantation, which can effectively avoid epidermal damage to the donor liver. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a rapid fixation and perfusion device for the donor liver during liver transplantation, effectively avoiding damage to the donor liver's epidermis.
[0004] This invention provides a rapid fixation and perfusion device for donor livers during liver transplantation, comprising: a placement box, the placement box comprising an outer box and an inner cylindrical box, the inner cylindrical box being disposed within the outer box; the inner cylindrical box being used to place the liver to be transplanted during liver transplantation; the inner cylindrical box having multiple inflow holes evenly distributed at the bottom and wall of the inner cylindrical box; and a fixing and filling section disposed at the placement box; the fixing and filling section comprising a fixing component and a filling component; and the fixing component comprising at least one fixing liquid sleeve; the fixing liquid sleeve being disposed within the outer box. Inside the inner cylinder; the fixed liquid sleeve includes an inner liquid circulation sleeve and an outer gel sleeve; the inner liquid circulation sleeve contains flowing liquid, and the flowing liquid has a temperature; the outer gel sleeve is disposed on the inner liquid circulation sleeve and covers the inner liquid circulation sleeve; wherein medical gel is sealed between the outer gel sleeve and the inner liquid circulation sleeve; the filling assembly includes a filling liquid flow pump and an insertion column, the filling liquid flow pump pumps the filling liquid from the liquid source through the inlet hole into the inner cylinder; the insertion column is disposed inside the inner cylinder, and the surface of the insertion column is provided with multiple micropores.
[0005] Furthermore, the placement box also includes springs and telescopic cylinders. Multiple springs are evenly distributed between the inner and outer boxes, with one end fixedly connected to the outer box and the other end connected to the inner box. One end of the telescopic cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner box, and the other end is fixedly connected to the outer box. In practical application, the purpose of this design is to achieve oscillating inflow of fluid. This allows for faster filling into the liver to be transplanted compared to traditional drip irrigation. On the one hand, this design ensures that the fluid in the liver to be transplanted is not lost, and on the other hand, the rapidly injected fluid effectively cleanses the area. In actual operation, the telescopic cylinder is a pneumatic cylinder.
[0006] Furthermore, the placement box also includes a flexible protective sleeve, which covers and is installed over the telescopic cylinder, sealing it. In practical applications, this flexible protective sleeve is made of silicone material, effectively utilizing the sealing and elasticity of silicone to protect the telescopic cylinder during its movement. In actual operation, the flexible protective sleeve covers the telescopic cylinder, but the output shaft of the telescopic cylinder is through it and fixedly connected to the inner cylinder box; this design ensures its motion characteristics.
[0007] Furthermore, the fixing assembly also includes a saline tank, a circulation pump, and a main supply pipe. Both ends of the main supply pipe are connected to the saline tank. The main supply pipe has multiple injection branches, each connected to the inner fluid circulation sleeve. The circulation pump is installed at the main supply pipe. In practical applications, the main supply pipe is a flexible tube for easy installation.
[0008] Furthermore, the fixation assembly also includes a one-way valve. The injection pipe has a partition, an inlet, and an outlet; the partition is located between the inlet and the outlet; the one-way valve is installed at the inlet. In practical applications, the purpose of this design is to prevent fluid cross-flow. In actual operation, the partition of this design blocks the inlet and outlet, ensuring that the inlet and outlet can only flow in one direction. The one-way valve further confirms that the fluid flow can only flow in one direction, thus ensuring that the fluid can enter the inner fluid circulation sleeve in one direction. In this way, a fluid circulation effect is achieved. This improves the adaptability of the outer gel sleeve, and the fluctuation of the water flow improves the adaptability to the surface contact of the liver. This enables flexible contact fixation, reducing the need for traditional fixation methods and thus reducing the occurrence of liver damage to the recipient.
[0009] Furthermore, the fixing component also includes a thermoelectric cooling module, which is disposed inside the saline tank and used to adjust the temperature of the saline solution. In practical applications, the purpose of this design is to adjust the water temperature, and thus adjust it to the temperature of the outer gel sleeve. This design can effectively ensure the temperature. The thermoelectric cooling module is also an existing technology module, so it will not be described in detail.
[0010] Furthermore, the filling assembly includes a piston, an injection cylinder, and an inlet sleeve; the inlet sleeve communicates with the outer casing; one end of the injection cylinder is fixedly connected to the piston, the piston is slidably installed inside the inlet sleeve, and reciprocates under the drive of the injection cylinder. In practical applications, the purpose of this design is to inject perfusion fluid; this facilitates the effective entry of perfusion fluid into the inner casing.
[0011] Furthermore, the filling assembly also includes a connecting pipe; the inlet sleeve is also provided with a flow hole, one end of the connecting pipe communicates with the flow hole, and the other end of the connecting pipe communicates with the filling fluid pump. In practical applications, the purpose of this design is to inject perfusion fluid; this facilitates the effective entry of perfusion fluid into the liver. In this way, continuous injection can be achieved during the reciprocating motion of the piston, thus achieving flushing. Repeated fluid flow, through the micropores and inlet hole, achieves effective flushing.
[0012] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the rapid fixation and perfusion device for donor liver during liver transplantation provided by the present invention are as follows: In practical applications, the multiple fixation liquid sleeves used in this device effectively achieve a fixed and abutting effect during liver transplantation, and the liquid sleeve design achieves flexible abutment; effectively avoiding damage to the liver during the filling and fixation process. Secondly, the dual-sleeve design employs an inner fluid circulation sleeve that enables effective fluid circulation and ensures fluid undulation. Meanwhile, the outer gel sleeve contains medical gel, which allows for the transmission of fluid undulations to the medical gel. This ensures good contact with the liver surface during the fixation process with the transplanted liver, achieving synchronous movement between the fixation sleeve and the liver and reducing liver damage.
[0013] Furthermore, the flowing fluid has temperature, making it more suitable for transplanted livers and improving their viability; Furthermore, the insertion column effectively locates the transplanted liver, and then the filling fluid is injected into the liver through the filling fluid pump to realize the activity of the transplanted liver. Its multiple micropores effectively ensure that the fluid flow of the filling liver can continuously flow into the liver to be transplanted. Attached Figure Description

In practical applications, the device employs multiple fixation sleeves 211, effectively achieving a fixed and abutting effect during liver transplantation. The sleeve design provides flexible abutment, effectively preventing liver damage during the filling and fixation process. Secondly, the dual-sleeve design, with an inner fluid circulation sleeve 2111 ensuring effective fluid circulation and maintaining fluid fluctuations, and an outer gel sleeve 2112 containing medical gel, allows for the transmission of fluid fluctuations to the medical gel. This ensures good contact with the liver surface during fixation, achieving synchronized movement between the fixation sleeves 211 and the liver, reducing liver damage. Furthermore, the flowing liquid has a temperature, making it more suitable for the transplanted liver and improving its viability. The insertion column 222 effectively positions the transplanted liver, and then the filling fluid pump 221 injects the filling fluid into the liver, activating its viability. The multiple micropores 2221 effectively ensure a continuous flow of filling fluid into the liver to be transplanted.
[0019] In this embodiment, the placement box 1 further includes springs 13 and telescopic cylinders 14.

On the one hand, this design ensures that the fluid in the liver to be transplanted is not lost, and on the other hand, the rapidly injected liquid effectively cleans the area. In actual operation, the telescopic cylinder 14 is a pneumatic cylinder. Simultaneously, during the reciprocating motion of the inner cylinder 12, the filling liquid repeatedly flushes the donor liver, thus achieving the desired cleaning effect.

The one-way valve 26 further confirms that the fluid can only flow in one direction, thus ensuring that the fluid can enter the inner fluid circulation sleeve 2111 in one direction. In this way, the fluid circulation effect is achieved. This also improves the adaptability of the outer gel sleeve 2112. The fluctuation of the water flow improves the adaptability to the surface of the liver, thus achieving flexible contact fixation and reducing the need for traditional fixation methods.
