Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a tail integrated structure and a medical catheter. Background Art

[0002] With the diversification of functions and the improvement of integration of modern cardiac surgical ablation catheters, there are more and more functional cables and pipelines at the tail end of the catheter, such as multiple independent cables plus saline pipelines, or multiple independent saline pipelines plus cables and motion control pipelines, etc. They share different functions, such as infusing physiological saline, transmitting electrical signals, and controlling catheter movements. During use, the cables at the tail end of the catheter need to be connected to other pipelines and equipment cables, and depending on the surgical method and the operator's operating habits, the catheter may be flipped multiple times, which brings the risk of the pipelines getting entangled and bent, resulting in saline infusion obstruction or wire breaking. When these situations occur, the catheter can only be replaced, which will affect the progress of the operation, prolong the operation time, and in severe cases endanger the patient's life. Therefore, a reasonable plan for the tail line layout and a solution that achieves a high degree of tail line integration without affecting the function is a necessary condition for a qualified catheter product.

[0003] The existing retractable needle ablation catheter tail line adopts a "2+1" solution, that is, two saline tubes plus one guide wire line. One saline tube and the guide wire line are fixed together and will move with the catheter operation, and the other saline tube is an independent structure. The saline tubes are all made of harder braided tubing, and the guide wire tubes are made of flexible tubing. This structure is well adapted to the structure and function of the catheter, distinguishing and merging the pipelines that will move. However, this structure still has the risk of the guide wire line being entangled in the saline tube after the catheter is flipped multiple times, and the overall length of the tail line under this structure is shorter, which may affect the operator's operating experience.

[0035] See also Figure 1 The present utility model provides a medical catheter, which includes: a catheter body 1, a handle 2, a needle assembly 10 and a tail integrated structure. The catheter body 1 generally includes a main section and a bendable section. The main section is a slender tube body containing braided wires, and its distal end and proximal end are respectively used to connect the bendable section and the handle 2. The braided wire has the functions of supporting the tube body, preventing deformation, and transmitting the catheter torque in proportion. The handle 2 controls the bending shape of the bendable section by pulling the wire. The tail integrated structure enables the saline tube and the catheter tail line to be integrated into one body, and can drive the needle assembly 10 to move axially.

[0036] For more details, please see Figure 1 Combined with Figure 2-Figure 3The tail integrated structure includes: a driving member 3, a screw 11, a connector 14, a flexible tail tube 5, an integrated end shell 7 and an internal component; the screw 11, the connector 14, the flexible tail tube 5 and the integrated end shell 7 are connected in sequence from the distal end to the proximal end; the driving member 3 is threadedly connected to the screw 11 and is rotatably arranged around an axis, and the driving member 3 is used to drive the screw 11 to move along the axis by rotation. The catheter body 1, the handle 2, the screw 11, the connector 14, and the flexible tail tube 5 are coaxially arranged, so the axis can be understood as the axis of any one of the catheter body 1, the handle 2, the screw 11, the connector 14, and the flexible tail tube 5.

[0037] The internal components include a fixed saline tube 8, a movable saline tube 9, a line tube 16, a first hard tube (not shown in the figure), a second hard tube 12 and a third hard tube 13, wherein the first hard tube, the second hard tube 12 and the third hard tube 13 are respectively passed through the screw 11, and the proximal ends are respectively extended into the connecting piece 14, wherein the first hard tube and the second hard tube 12 are fixedly connected to the screw 11, and the proximal ends are respectively connected to the line tube 16 and the fixed saline tube 8, and the third hard tube 13 is movably arranged relative to the screw 11, and the proximal end is connected to the movable saline tube 9; the fixed saline tube 8 and the movable saline tube 9 extend from the inside of the connecting piece 14 to pass through the proximal end of the integrated end shell 7, respectively, and the line tube 16 extends from the inside of the connecting piece to the inside of the integrated end shell 7. It should be noted here that Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the internal structure diagram shown, the first hard tube and the line tube 16 are not marked, but it should be understood that, from the perspective of the diagram, the first hard tube and the line tube 16 are respectively located at positions blocked by the second hard tube 12 and the fixed brine tube 8.

[0038] After the tail integrated structure is assembled with the rest of the catheter components, the driving member 3 can be rotatably disposed at the proximal end of the handle 2, the needle assembly 10 can be movably disposed through the handle 2 and the catheter body 1 in sequence, and the proximal end of the needle assembly 10 is fixedly connected to the distal end of the second hard tube 12. The second hard tube 12 moves with the movement of the screw 11 to drive the needle assembly 10 to move, so that the distal end of the needle assembly 10 can extend out of the distal end of the catheter body 1, the first hard tube and the second hard tube 12 pass through the handle 2, and the distal end of the second hard tube 12 extends to extend into the catheter body 1, for example, can extend into the proximal end of the catheter body 1 or close to the proximal end of the catheter body 1.

[0039] The inner cavity of the third hard tube 13 is connected with the inner cavity of the movable saline tube 9 to form an external saline passage, and the saline in the external saline passage flows out from the gap between the needle assembly 10 and the distal end of the catheter body 1; the inner cavity of the needle assembly 10 and the inner cavity of the second hard tube 12 are connected with the inner cavity of the fixed saline tube 8 to form an internal saline passage, and the saline in the internal saline passage flows out from the distal end of the inner cavity of the needle assembly 10; the first hard tube 12 is connected with the inner cavity of the line tube 16 to form a cable passage, and the electrode wire passes through the proximal end of the cable passage and is electrically connected to the cable socket 18 provided at the proximal end of the integrated end shell 7.

[0040] It can be understood that the tail integrated structure provided in this embodiment, the line tube 16, the fixed saline tube 8 and the movable saline tube 9 are all made of flexible material, and are respectively connected to the screw 11 through the rigid first hard tube, the second hard tube 12 and the third hard tube 13, so that the two saline lines and the cable line are integrated together without affecting the movable function of one of the saline lines. In addition, the flexible tail tube 5 extended by the tail integrated structure increases the axial extension length of the tail of the catheter, which can reduce the transmission of the torsional effect, which not only solves the problem of rotation and entanglement of the tail line, but also improves the operator's operating experience.

[0041] The tail integrated structure provided in the embodiment of the utility model is described in further detail below.

[0042] The materials of the connector 14 and the integrated end shell 7 can be made of various hard polymer materials such as PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene), POM, hard PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PC (polycarbonate), ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene plastic), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), etc. The materials of the flexible tail pipe 5 can be made of various soft polymer materials such as rubber, silicone rubber, PU (polyurethane), TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane rubber) and soft PVC (polyvinyl chloride). The hard connector 14 and the flexible tail pipe 5 can be connected through a connecting pipe 17, and the material of the connecting pipe 17 can also be made of various soft polymer materials such as rubber, silicone rubber, PU (polyurethane), TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane rubber) and soft PVC (polyvinyl chloride).

[0043] The two ends of the connecting tube 4 are respectively sleeved on the connecting piece 14 and the flexible tail pipe 5, and the fixing method between the connecting piece 14 and the flexible tail pipe 5 can be bonding, mechanical fixing, etc., or a combination of several fixing methods. Optionally, an inclined tip can be provided on the surface of the connecting piece 14, and a corresponding pointed groove can be provided on the inner side wall of the connecting tube 4. The matching design of the inclined tip and the pointed groove, the use of the mechanical fixing method, and the combination of bonding and other methods can improve the connection strength between the connecting tube 4 and the connecting piece 14.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the driving member 3 may specifically include a knob 31 and a rotating sleeve 32, wherein the knob 31 is sleeved on the rotating sleeve 32, and the proximal end of the knob 31 extends to the proximal end of the rotating sleeve 32, and the rotating sleeve 32 is threadedly connected with the screw 11, and the knob 31 drives the rotating sleeve 32 to rotate by rotating to drive the screw 11 to move along the axis. That is, in this embodiment, the driving member 3 adopts an inner and outer assembly structure, the outer knob 31 is used for applying force, and has a relatively large axial length, which can increase the convenience of operation, and the inner rotating sleeve 32 is used to drive the screw 11 to move and then drive the needle assembly 10 to move, and has a relatively small axial length, and the number of threads arranged on its surface can control the needle length of the needle assembly 10.

[0045] Further Figure 2 As shown, preferably, the outer wall of the connector 14 is provided with a stabilizing ring 15 along the circumferential direction, and the stabilizing ring 15 contacts the inner surface of the portion of the knob 31 extending out of the proximal end of the rotating sleeve 32, so as to provide support force for the knob 31 and provide low friction resistance for the movement of the knob 31. The provision of the stabilizing ring 15 plays a role in lubrication and support, enhancing the stability of the connector 14 structure and the overall operating experience of the catheter. The stabilizing ring 15 can be made of a variety of elastic or low friction materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), rubber, silicone rubber, etc.

[0046] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, preferably, the internal component also includes a plurality of sections of low-friction short tubes 17, and the plurality of sections of the low-friction short tubes 17 are sequentially arranged along the extension direction of the connector 14, the flexible tail tube 5 and the integrated end shell 7, so as to allow the movable brine tube 9 to pass through. The low-friction short tube 17 can be made of a variety of low-friction or self-lubricating polymer materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP). The use of a multi-section low-friction short tube 17 for the movable brine tube 9 to pass through can, on the one hand, reduce the friction resistance encountered by the movable brine tube 9 when it moves, and on the other hand, the multi-section separated structure can reduce the bending effect of the tube caused by the creep of the polymer material during long-term packaging and bending, so that the tail line structure of the catheter can quickly return to a straight state after the package is taken out.

[0047] Preferably, the connecting member 14 has three cavities that penetrate the connecting member 14 in the axial direction and are isolated from each other, and the proximal ends of the first hard tube, the second hard tube 12 and the third hard tube 13 extend into the connecting member 14 from different cavities. Figure 5 As shown, the three cavities are respectively a first cavity 100, a second cavity 200 and a third cavity 300, the line tube 16 is connected to the first hard tube in the first cavity 100, the fixed saline tube 8 is connected to the second hard tube 12 in the second cavity 200, and the movable saline tube is connected to the third hard tube 13 in the third cavity 300, wherein the axis of the connecting member 14 is located in the second cavity 200, so that the fixed saline tube 8 can drive the needle assembly 10 to move along the axis driven by the screw 11, and relative to the eccentric setting, when the needle assembly 10 moves along the axis, i.e., the center position, the needle assembly is not easy to bend.

[0048] Better, such as Figure 7As shown, the integrated end shell 7 has a first guide structure 701, a fixed limiting structure 702 and a second guide structure 703, wherein the first guide structure 701 and the second guide structure 703 are respectively used to guide the movable saline tube 9 and the fixed saline tube 8 to pass through different positions of the proximal end of the integrated end shell 7, and the fixed limiting structure 702 is used to fix the cable socket 18 so that the cable can be electrically connected to the cable socket 18 after passing through the proximal end of the line tube 16, wherein the first guide structure 701 and the second guide structure 703 are distributed on both sides of the fixed limiting structure 702. The low-friction short tube 17 in the integrated end shell 7 is arranged in the guide channel defined by the first guide structure 701, so that when the movable saline tube 9 passes through the low-friction short tube 17, its movement path is consistent with the guide path of the first guide structure 701.

[0049] Further preferably, the first guide structure 701 and the second guide structure 703 respectively include a plurality of guide portions arranged in sequence and at intervals along the length direction of the integrated end shell 7, and each of the guide portions has a guide hole. This design can improve the convenience of arranging the low-friction short tube 17 and the fixed brine tube 8 in the integrated end shell 7, and reduce the overall weight of the tail integrated structure, thereby further improving the operating experience.

[0050] In addition, better Figure 6 As shown, the integrated end shell 7 includes a first shell 71 and a second shell 72, the first shell 71 and the second shell 72 are transversely spliced ​​to form the integrated end shell 7, and the first guide structure 701, the fixed limit structure 702 and the second guide structure 703 are formed by transversely splicing the first shell 71 and the second shell 72. The integrated end shell 7 adopts a splicing structure, and the movable brine tube 9, the cable socket 18 and the fixed brine tube 8 can be positioned to the corresponding positions respectively, and then the first shell 71 and the second shell 72 are assembled together, so that the convenience of arranging the line tube 16, the fixed brine tube 8 and the movable brine tube 9 in the integrated end shell 7 can be improved.

[0051] The first shell 71 and the second shell 72 can be fixed by one or more of the structures themselves, medical grade adhesives or high frequency welding. For example, one of the first shells 71 can have a convex column and the other can have a groove, and the convex column is correspondingly inserted into the groove to achieve the splicing between the first shell 71 and the second shell 72. The matching arrangement of the convex column and the groove can reduce the difficulty of assembling the first shell 71 and the second shell 72, and increase the accuracy of assembling the first shell 71 and the second shell 72.

[0052] Better, such as Figure 1 As shown, the tail integrated structure further includes a cable anti-folding sleeve 6, and the integrated end shell 7 is connected to the proximal end of the connector 14 through the cable anti-folding sleeve 6. The cable anti-folding sleeve 6 is used to reduce the bending angle of the movable saline tube 9, the fixed saline tube 8 and the line tube 16 relative to the integrated end shell 7 when in use. The cable anti-folding sleeve 6 can be made of a variety of elastic materials such as rubber, silicone rubber and soft PVC.

[0053] In the tail integrated structure provided by the embodiment of the utility model, the various components can be connected in the following manner: the connector 14 is fixed to the screw 11 by a medical-grade adhesive, a certain amount of medical adhesive is coated on the outer surfaces of the second hard tube 12 and the first hard tube to be bonded and fixed to the fixed saline tube 8 and the line tube 16 respectively, and at the same time, a certain amount of medical adhesive is injected into the first cavity 100 and the second cavity 200 to assist in bonding. At this time, the line tube 16 and the fixed saline tube 8 etc. act as reinforcing ribs in the bonding structure of the connector 14 and the screw 11, further enhancing the structural strength. The screw 11 and the first hard tube, the second hard tube 12 and the connector 14, the first hard tube and the line tube 16, the second hard tube 12 and the fixed saline tube 8, the connector 14 and the connecting tube 4, the connecting tube 4 and the flexible tail tube 5, the flexible tail tube 5 and the cable anti-folding sleeve 6, the cable anti-folding sleeve 6 and the integrated end shell 7, and the fixed saline tube 8 and the integrated end shell 7 are all fixed by medical-grade adhesive. There is no fixing method between the third hard tube 13 and the screw 11, and the two can be relatively displaced. The cable socket 18 and the integrated end shell 7 are fixed by mechanical structure and medical-grade adhesive.

[0054] The medical catheter provided by the embodiment of the utility model has the following working principle: the knob 31 is rotated, and the knob 31 drives the rotating sleeve 32 to rotate, so as to drive the screw 11 to move along the axis toward or away from the handle 2, thereby driving all other components of the entire tail integrated structure except the active saline tube 9 to move relative to the handle 2. The active saline tube 9 does not undergo any relative displacement relative to the handle 2, so it can be understood that the "active" saline tube described in this application refers to a saline tube that is not fixed together with other components of the tail integrated structure. When other components move, the active saline tube 9 does not move therewith and remains relatively fixed with the handle 2.

[0055] In summary, the tail integrated structure and medical catheter provided by the embodiments of the utility model utilize the tail integrated structure to integrate two saline lines and a cable line together without affecting the activity function of one of the saline lines. In addition, the tail integrated structure increases the axial extension length of the catheter tail, which can reduce the transmission of the torsional effect, and not only solves the problem of rotation and entanglement of the tail line, but also improves the operator's operating experience.

[0056] The above description is only a description of the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not any limitation on the scope of the utility model. Any changes and modifications made by ordinary technicians in the field of the utility model based on the above disclosure shall fall within the scope of protection of the claims.
