Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical appliances, in particular to a hysteroscopic infusion device capable of preventing air embolism. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in order to fully expose the surgical field of view during hysteroscopic surgery, liquid needs to be injected into the uterine cavity to expand the uterine cavity and expose the field of view. Continuous liquid perfusion can prevent the lens from being contaminated by blood, thereby ensuring the clarity of the field of view.

[0003] The current hysteroscopic infusion device is shown in the attached figure Figure 1 As shown, it includes a first infusion bag 01 and a second infusion bag 02, and the first infusion bag 01 and the second infusion bag 02 are connected by a connecting tube 03, and uterine cavity perfusion fluid is injected into the first infusion bag 01 and the second infusion bag 02. The first infusion bag 01 is connected to the air outlet end of the uterine distension device through the trachea 04, and the second infusion bag 02 is connected to the hysteroscope lens through the liquid tube 05.

[0004] During actual use, the gas outlet end of the uterine distension device injects gas into the first infusion bag 01 through the air tube 04, so that the air pressure inside the first infusion bag 01 increases, and the uterine distension fluid inside the first infusion bag 01 will reach the second infusion bag 02 through the connecting tube 03, so that the uterine distension fluid inside the second infusion bag 02 reaches the patient's body through the liquid tube 05. As the gas is continuously injected, the uterine cavity perfusion fluid inside the first infusion bag 01 is continuously input into the patient's body. When all the liquid inside the first infusion bag 01 flows into the second infusion bag 02, the first infusion bag 01 is replaced so that the first infusion bag 01 contains uterine cavity perfusion fluid.

[0005] However, in actual operation, in order to fully expose the surgical field of view, a higher air pressure will be used, which will lead to too fast use of uterine cavity perfusion fluid. When the first infusion bag is not replaced in time and the liquid inside the second infusion bag is used up, a large amount of air will be injected into the uterine cavity, resulting in serious consequences of air embolism.

[0009] The bottom of the outer cylinder is open, and the top of the inner cylinder passes through the opening at the bottom of the outer cylinder and is arranged inside the outer cylinder, so that a closed space is formed between the inner cylinder, the inner plug and the inner wall of the outer cylinder, and the top of the outer cylinder is provided with an air inlet connected to the closed space.

[0026] The outer tube 2 has an opening at the bottom, and the top of the inner tube 1 passes through the opening at the bottom of the outer tube 2 and is arranged inside the outer tube 2, so that a closed space 8 is formed between the inner tube 1, the inner plug 4 and the inner wall of the outer tube 2, and an air inlet 9 connected to the closed space 8 is provided at the top of the outer tube 2.

[0027] The hysteroscopic infusion device currently used in clinical practice discharges fluid by letting in air. When the first infusion bag 01 is not replaced in time and the liquid inside the second infusion bag 02 is used up, a large amount of air will be injected into the uterine cavity, resulting in the serious consequence of air embolism. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a hysteroscopic infusion device that can avoid air embolism.

[0028] In this embodiment, the air inside the liquid space 5 is discharged through the inner plug 4 and the exhaust pipe 6, so that the uterine cavity perfusion liquid in the liquid space 5 does not come into contact with the air, and the inner plug 4 is pressed down by injecting gas to discharge the liquid, thereby eliminating the possibility of air embolism from the root.

[0029] In actual use, 1. close the control valve 12, take the inner plug 4 out of the inner tube 1, inject the uterine cavity perfusion liquid into the inner tube 1, open the sealing cover 7 on the inner plug 4, and put the inner plug 4 into the inner tube 1;

[0030] 2. Move the inner plug 4 downward until the liquid in the liquid space 5 is discharged from the exhaust pipe 6, and when the inner cylinder 1 is turned upside down after the sealing cover 7 is closed, no bubbles move in the liquid space 5, and then close the sealing cover 7 on the top of the inner plug 4;

[0031] 3. Connect the inner tube 1 to the outer tube 2, connect the liquid outlet tube 3 to the hysteroscope lens, and open the control valve 12;

[0032] 4. Connect the air inlet 9 to the air outlet of the uterine distension instrument, and inject gas into the enclosed space 8 through the air inlet 9 to move the inner plug 4 downward, thereby discharging the liquid in the liquid space 5 from the liquid outlet tube 3.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, the outer surface of the inner tube 1 is provided with an external thread, the inner wall of the outer tube 2 is provided with an internal thread, and the inner tube 1 and the outer tube 2 are threadedly connected via the external thread and the internal thread, so that the inner tube 1 and the outer tube 2 can be detached and the sealing of the enclosed space 8 is ensured.

[0034] In order to make the liquid and gas in the liquid-containing space 5 flow outward in one direction, further, as Figure 3 As shown, a one-way valve 10 is provided inside the exhaust pipe 6 , so that the gas and liquid inside the liquid-filling space 5 can flow toward the top of the inner plug 4 in one direction.

[0035] In order to avoid water intoxication during hysteroscopic surgery, it is necessary to know the amount of fluid intake and output so as to calculate how much fluid the patient absorbs. Figure 4 As shown, the outer surface of the inner tube 1 is provided with scale lines 11. The amount of initial liquid and remaining liquid is measured through the scale lines 11 to indirectly calculate the amount of uterine cavity perfusion fluid used.

[0036] The above embodiments are only exemplary embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. The protection scope of the present application is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present application within the essence and protection scope of the present application, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions shall also be deemed to fall within the protection scope of the present application.
