[0019] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 This application will be described in further detail.
[0020] This application discloses a minimally invasive pneumothorax drainage tube. (Refer to...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The minimally invasive pneumothorax drainage tube includes a hollow tube body 1 and a puncture guide 2 set inside the hollow tube body 1. The hollow tube body 1 is provided with a top hole 3 and a side drainage hole 4. The outer wall of the hollow tube body 1 is covered with a fixation balloon 5. A capillary tube 6 is connected to the fixation balloon 5. A one-way valve 7 for connecting the capillary tube 6 is provided at the end of the capillary tube 6. Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The fixed airbag 5 is movably mounted on the hollow tube 1. The fixed airbag 5 moves along the axis of the hollow tube 1. It also includes a first fixing member 8, which is used to fix the fixed airbag 5 to the hollow tube 1 after it moves to the required position. Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The capillary tube 6 is spirally wound on the hollow tube body 1. The hollow tube body 1 is provided with an unwinding component 9, which is used to unwind the capillary tube 6 and adapt to the position of the fixed airbag 5 on the hollow tube body 1.
[0021] When using the drainage tube, the depth to which the drainage tube needs to enter the body is first determined based on the patient's physical condition. Then, the position of the fixing balloon 5 on the hollow tube body 1 is adjusted so that the fixing balloon 5 is located at the lesion after the drainage tube port is located, and the fixing balloon 5 is located on the inner wall of the wound. Then, the fixing balloon 5 is fixed on the hollow tube body 1 by the first fixing member 8. As the position of the fixing balloon 5 on the hollow tube body 1 is adjusted, the capillary 6 is released by the unwinding member 9, so that the capillary 6 gradually separates from the outer wall of the hollow tube body 1, so that the capillary 6 has a certain amount of loose space. Then, the position of the fixing balloon 5 is adjusted so that the fixing balloon 5 has a certain amount of movement space, so that the position of the fixing balloon 5 can be adapted to different patients, thereby improving the adaptability of the drainage tube.
[0022] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3In this embodiment, the first fixing member 8 includes rubber rings 81 disposed at both ends of the fixing airbag 5. The capillary tube 6 passes through the rubber rings 81 and enters between the fixing airbag 5 and the hollow tube 1. The rubber rings 81 are sealed to the fixing airbag 5. The first fixing member 8 also includes fixing grooves 82 formed on the hollow tube 1. When the rubber rings 81 are in their natural state, the diameter of the rubber rings 81 is smaller than the diameter of the hollow tube 1. The fixing grooves 82 are annular and perpendicular to the axial direction of the hollow tube 1. Multiple fixing grooves 82 are formed and evenly arranged along the axial direction of the hollow tube 1. The rubber rings 81 are fitted into the fixing grooves 82. When adjusting the position of the fixing airbag 5 on the hollow tube 1, pull the rubber ring 81 to increase its diameter. Then move the fixing airbag 5 on the hollow tube 1. After the position of the fixing airbag 5 is adjusted, place the rubber ring 81 in the corresponding fixing groove 82. Then connect the one-way valve 7 to the air supply device. The air supply device fills the capillary tube 6 with gas and fills the fixing airbag 5 through the capillary tube 6. The volume of the fixing airbag 5 increases, so that the rubber ring 81 is tightly fitted on the hollow tube 1. Since the diameter of the rubber ring 81 is smaller than the diameter of the hollow tube 1, a sealed connection is achieved between the rubber ring 81 and the hollow tube 1, which facilitates the inflation of the fixing airbag 5.
[0023] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, both sidewalls of the fixing groove 82 are recessed inward to form sealing spaces 83. The vertical cross-section of the sealing space 83 is triangular, and the bottom of the sealing space 83 is flush with the bottom wall of the fixing groove 82. The rubber ring 81 slides into the sealing space 83 and abuts against the bottom and inclined surfaces of the sealing space 83. As air is injected into the fixing airbag 5, the rubber ring 81 is compressed and sealed to the hollow tube 1. When air is injected into the fixing airbag 5, the volume of the fixing airbag 5 expands and pushes the rubber ring 81 to move. The rubber ring 81 moves toward the sealing space 83 and enters the sealing space 83. As air is injected into the fixing airbag 5, the rubber ring 81 is pressed against the sealing space 83 and deformed, further improving the sealing performance between the rubber ring 81 and the hollow tube 1.
[0024] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the corner of the sealing space 83 is provided with an arc-shaped chamfer, and the inner wall of the fixing airbag 5 abuts against the arc-shaped chamfer. Under the action of the arc-shaped chamfer, the possibility of the tip of the sealing space 83 damaging the fixing airbag 5 is reduced, thereby extending the service life of the fixing airbag 5 and facilitating the sealing of the wound by the fixing airbag 5.
[0025] Reference Figure 4In this embodiment, the two sidewalls of the fixing groove 82 are inclined outwards. Multiple sealing grooves 84 are formed on the inclined sidewalls of the fixing groove 82. The sealing grooves 84 are annular and coaxially arranged with the hollow tube 1, with their diameters gradually increasing. When the fixing airbag 5 is injected with gas and expands, causing the rubber ring 81 to move, it pushes the rubber ring 81 towards the sidewall of the fixing groove 82 and gradually moves towards the sidewall of the fixing groove 82. During this process, the diameter of the rubber ring 81 gradually increases and it fits onto the hollow tube 1, thus improving the sealing performance between the rubber ring 81 and the hollow tube 1. Furthermore, when the rubber ring 81 moves within the fixing groove 82, it fits into the sealing groove 84, reducing the possibility of the rubber ring 81 moving within the inner wall of the fixing groove 82 and thus reducing the possibility of gas leakage through the rubber ring 81.
[0026] Reference Figure 3 In this embodiment, a covering film 10 is provided on the hollow tube 1. The covering film 10 is used to cover the opening of the fixing groove 82. The covering film 10 is provided with an easy-tear slit 11. The easy-tear slit 11 is connected end to end in a ring shape and the plane of the easy-tear slit 11 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the hollow tube 1. Under the action of the covering film 10, the opening of the fixing groove 82 is sealed, thereby reducing the possibility of the fixing groove 82 scratching the patient when the drainage tube enters the patient's body, thus reducing the patient's discomfort. Moreover, under the action of the easy-tear slit 11, it is easy to open the fixing groove 82, thereby facilitating the fixation of the position of the fixing airbag 5.
[0027] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the unwinding component 9 includes an unwinding reel 91, which is rotatably mounted on the hollow tube 1. The capillary tube 6 passes through the unwinding reel 91 on the side near the one-way valve 7. The unwinding reel 91 rotates about the axis of the hollow tube 1. The unwinding component 9 also includes a second fixing member, which is used to fix the unwinding reel 91 after the capillary tube 6 is unwound to the required length. When the capillary tube 6 is unwound, the unwinding reel 91 is rotated. When the unwinding reel 91 rotates in the opposite direction, the capillary tube 6 is released, so that the capillary tube 6 has a certain degree of extension and contraction, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the fixed airbag 5.
[0028] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6In this embodiment, the unwinding reel 91 includes a first ring 911 and a second ring 912. The first ring 911 is sleeved and fixed on the hollow tube 1, and the second ring 912 is sleeved on the first ring 911. The second ring 912 is rotatably disposed on the first ring 911. Furthermore, the thickness of the second ring 912 is greater than the thickness of the first ring 911. The capillary tube 6 passes through the second ring 912. The second fixing member includes a fixing rod 92 slidably disposed on the first ring 911 and a fixing ring disposed on the second ring 912. The fixing rod 92 is located in the space where the fixing ring is located. The inner ring of the fixing ring is provided with an annular rack 93, and the fixing rod 92 is slidably inserted into the teeth of the annular rack 93. When the capillary tube 6 is unwound, the second ring 912 is rotated. The second ring 912 rotates on the first ring 911. During this process, the second ring 912 drives the capillary tube 6 to move gradually, thereby increasing the pitch between the capillary tubes 6, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the fixed airbag 5. After the position of the fixed airbag 5 is adjusted, the fixed rod 92 is slid into the annular rack 93, which fixes the second ring 912, thereby fixing the capillary tube 6, which facilitates the drainage operation of the drainage tube.
[0029] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The second fixing component also includes a driving component for driving the fixing rod 92 to slide and engage with the annular rack 93. The driving component includes a driving spring 94 sleeved on the fixing rod 92. One end of the driving spring 94 is fixedly mounted on the fixing rod 92, and the other end is fixedly mounted on the first ring 911. The driving spring 94 is used to drive the fixing rod 92 to move toward the annular rack 93. Under the action of the spring, the fixing rod 92 is driven to slide into the annular rack 93, thereby fixing the second ring 912 and reducing the possibility of the second ring 912 accidentally rotating during the drainage process.
[0030] Reference Figure 2 To improve the comfort of the drainage tube entering the patient's body, when the fixation bladder 5 is in the contracted state, the fixation bladder 5 fits tightly against the outer wall of the hollow tube body 1.
[0031] The implementation principle of a minimally invasive pneumothorax drainage tube in this application embodiment is as follows: When using the drainage tube, the depth to which the drainage tube needs to enter the body is first determined based on the patient's physical condition. Then, the position of the fixing balloon 5 on the hollow tube body 1 is adjusted so that the fixing balloon 5 is located at the lesion after the drainage tube port is located, and the fixing balloon 5 is located on the inner wall of the wound. Then, the fixing balloon 5 is fixed on the hollow tube body 1 by the first fixing member 8. As the position of the fixing balloon 5 on the hollow tube body 1 is adjusted, the capillary 6 is released by the unwinding member 9, so that the capillary 6 gradually separates from the outer wall of the hollow tube body 1, so that the capillary 6 has a certain amount of loose space. Then, the position of the fixing balloon 5 is adjusted so that the fixing balloon 5 has a certain amount of movement space, so that the position of the fixing balloon 5 can be adapted to different patients, thereby improving the adaptability of the drainage tube.
[0032] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
