Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a tearable sheath. Background Art

[0002] The operation of establishing a percutaneous access channel to the blood vessel cavity through the catheter sheath is as follows: first, use a puncture needle to make a small opening in the artery or vein, then introduce the guide wire into the artery or vein through the inner cavity of the puncture needle, and remove the puncture needle. Pass the dilator through the catheter sheath hemostasis valve into the inner cavity of the catheter sheath, lock the two together and guide them into the artery or vein through the guide wire. After the sheath position of the catheter sheath is fixed, withdraw the dilator, and finally the catheter sheath can provide a channel for entering and exiting or replacing various interventional devices. When performing more complex interventional treatments, the sheath needs to be withdrawn from the human body after use. Since the tail of the sheath is usually blocked by an instrument, the sheath with the catheter inserted inside cannot be directly removed from the body. At this time, the sheath needs to be torn from the outside, and torn while withdrawing until it is completely removed. This type of sheath is called a tearable sheath.

[0003] After searching, the existing Chinese patent announcement number is: CN115624413A, which provides an adjustable sheath. This patent can achieve control of hemostasis when instruments such as guidewires and catheters pass through, and can effectively reduce downward pressure resistance.

[0004] Although the above patent can achieve control over hemostasis and effectively reduce downward pressure resistance, the above adjustable sheath still has the following problems: when operating, it is necessary to press the pressure cap hard to make it engage with the claw, and when releasing the pressure cap, it is necessary to press the claw to deform it and separate it from the pressure cap, which is inconvenient to operate.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, a tearable sheath is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a tearable sheath, which solves the problem in the background art that when releasing the pressure cap, the clamping claw needs to be pressed to deform it and separate from the pressure cap, which is inconvenient to operate.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a tearable sheath, comprising a sheath tube main body seat, a hemostatic valve main body and an expander handle, the bottom of the sheath tube main body seat is fixedly connected to a tube body, a mounting groove is provided in the hemostatic valve main body, and positioning ribs are fixedly connected on both sides of the mounting groove, a cap is provided on the top of the hemostatic valve main body, a cap protrusion is provided on the cap, a first sealing gasket is provided in the mounting groove, a second sealing gasket is provided on the top of the first sealing gasket, a disassembly component is provided at the bottom of the hemostatic valve main body, sheath tube claws are fixedly connected on both sides of the top of the sheath tube main body seat, and an expander stopper is fixedly connected to the outside of the expander handle.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the core hemostatic component of the tearable sheath is primarily a sealing gasket. Conventional technology involves making a predetermined incision on the end face of a highly elastic hemostatic valve, allowing the interventional device to pass through the incision. Due to the high elasticity of the sealing gasket, it can wrap around the device tube, achieving a good sealing and hemostatic effect. However, in actual use, when the device is inserted or withdrawn through the sealing gasket's incision, the sealing gasket's wrapping effect is not ideal, and blood will still flow out of the incision.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: the disassembly component includes a connecting column, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hemostatic valve body, and the hemostatic valve ring convex is fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting column, and a groove is provided under the connecting column.

[0010] By adopting this technical solution, the hemostatic valve and sheath are separated. To remove the hemostatic valve during tearing, only the tube seat and sheath body need to be torn, which can reduce the tearing force. The disadvantage of the integrated design is that foreign matter, such as the gasket, can easily fall out during tearing. The hemostatic valve body seat and sheath body are locked together by a snap-fit ​​rotation, making operation convenient.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: a first sealing ring linear cutout is provided in the first sealing gasket, and a second sealing ring linear cutout is provided in the second sealing gasket.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when two sealing pads with linear incisions are superimposed, the incision directions are cross-shaped, which can improve the sealing and hemostasis effect.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: positioning grooves are provided on both sides of the first sealing gasket and the second sealing gasket, and the two positioning ribs are respectively arranged in the two positioning grooves.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning rib is arranged in the positioning groove to achieve a limiting effect.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution: the hemostatic valve body is arranged on the top of the sheath tube body seat, and the dilator handle is arranged on the top of the hemostatic valve body.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the expander handle and the hemostatic valve are locked by a snap-on rotation, which can prevent the expander from retreating during puncture. The disadvantage of the snap-on connection between the expander handle and the hemostatic valve body is that when entering the vein or artery to establish a pathway, if the blood vessels are narrow or tortuous, the expander is likely to encounter resistance and separate from the sheath seat, thereby scratching the blood vessels and causing problems such as dissection.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution: an O-shaped sealing ring is arranged in the groove, and the O-shaped sealing ring is arranged inside the sheath tube main body seat.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the O-ring can enhance the sealing effect.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution: the outer wall of the hemostatic valve ring is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sheath clamping claw.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, it can be disassembled conveniently and quickly.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0022] 1. The utility model provides a tearable sheath, which first cooperates with the sheath body seat, sheath claws, hemostatic valve body, connecting column, groove and O-ring to work together. The hemostatic valve and the sheath are split. When tearing, the hemostatic valve can be removed by tearing the tube seat and the sheath body, which can reduce the tearing force. The hemostatic valve body seat and the sheath body are locked by a buckle and rotation, which is easy to operate.

[0023] 2. The utility model provides a tearable sheath, which works in conjunction with the hemostatic valve body, the cap, the cap protrusion, the first sealing gasket, the second sealing gasket, the expander handle and the expander block. The core hemostatic component of the tearable sheath is mainly the sealing gasket. The conventional process is to cut an incision of a certain length on the end face of the hemostatic valve with high elasticity to allow the interventional instrument to pass through the incision. Due to the high elasticity of the sealing gasket, it can wrap the instrument tube body to achieve a good sealing and hemostatic function. The expander handle and the hemostatic valve are locked by a snap-on rotation to prevent the expander from retreating during puncture. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
