Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical devices, and more specifically to a consumable delivery device. Background Technology

[0002] Interventional vascular surgery, based on imaging and guided by digital subtraction angiography (DSA), uses guidewires, catheters, or stents, along with other medical devices, to diagnose and treat diseases. It is a relatively advanced minimally invasive technique. In traditional procedures, the surgeon holds a coil and extracts the guidewire, catheter, or stent. Because these devices are typically about 1.5 meters long and sterile, the extraction process is cumbersome and prone to contamination. Furthermore, after extraction, the guidewire, catheter, or stent must be moistened in a heparin solution before being reinserted into the blood vessel. The entire pre-operative preparation process is quite complex.

[0003] Improving the efficiency of guidewire, catheter, or stent insertion into the human body, reducing contamination during preoperative preparation, and thus simplifying the doctor's operation are urgent problems that need to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

The movement of the three-axis motion platform 26 in the X, Y, and Z axes controls the relative displacement between the upper platform 24 and the lower platform 25, thus allowing the upper platform 24 to move up, down, left, and right relative to the lower platform 25. The upper platform 24 has a free-end connection structure 27 for fixing to the operating table on the side closest to the operating table. The free-end connection structure 27 can be a mechanical connection structure or a magnetic connection structure; it can be interconnected with the fixed-end connection structure fixed to the operating table.
