In addition, those skilled in the art may combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of the different embodiments or examples, without contradiction.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the catheter of the steam ablation medical device provided in the embodiment of the utility model includes a catheter body 100 and an elastic reinforcement sleeve 200. The catheter body 100 is a flexible part, and the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 is sleeved on the outside of the catheter body 100. The inner wall of the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 is connected to the outer wall of the catheter body 100.

[0032] The catheter of the steam ablation medical device of the embodiment of the utility model is provided with an elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 on the outer side of the catheter body 100, and the catheter body 100 and the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 are fixed as a whole. The catheter body 100 is a flexible structure with certain bending and deformation capabilities. The elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 also has elastic deformation and bending capabilities and can bend and deform along with the catheter body 100.

[0033] The deformation ability of the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 is weaker than that of the catheter body 100. The outer wall of the catheter body 100 can limit the deformation of the catheter body 100. When high-temperature steam passes through the catheter body 100, the catheter body 100 is constrained by the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200, which can effectively prevent the catheter body 100 from being deformed due to thermal expansion. After the catheter body 100 is deformed, it can complete the deformation recovery as soon as possible under the action of the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 to ensure that the structural shape of the catheter body 100 itself remains unchanged. Therefore, the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 can enhance the structural strength of the catheter body 100 and avoid affecting the steam transportation effect.

[0034] In addition, the elastic reinforcing sleeve 200 is directly sleeved on the outer side of the catheter body 100, which has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, has low cost, and is easy to install.

[0035] In this embodiment, the catheter body 100 is formed by extrusion of medical-grade silicone.

[0036] According to an embodiment provided by the utility model, the catheter body 100 is coaxially arranged with the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200. In this embodiment, in order to ensure the protective effect of the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 on the catheter body 100, the catheter body 100 and the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 are coaxially arranged so that the outer wall of the catheter body 100 and the inner wall of the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 are at the same distance at each position, ensuring that the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 applies force to the catheter body 100 evenly and protects it comprehensively.

[0037] According to an embodiment provided by the utility model, the gap distance between the outer wall of the catheter body 100 and the inner wall of the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 is less than or equal to 0.2mm. In this embodiment, there is a gap of a certain distance between the catheter body 100 and the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200, and the width of the gap in the radial direction of the catheter is 0~0.2mm. When the catheter body 100 and the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 are coaxially arranged, the difference between the outer diameter radius of the catheter body 100 and the inner diameter radius of the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 is a maximum of 0.1mm. When the catheter body 100 and the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 are not coaxially arranged, that is, the catheter body 100 is offset to one side of the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200, the maximum width of the gap is 0.2mm.

[0038] According to an embodiment provided by the utility model, the gap between the inner wall of the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 and the outer wall of the catheter body 100 is filled with sealant 300. In this embodiment, the connection between the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 and the catheter body 100 is achieved through the sealant 300, that is, the sealant 300 is filled in the gap between the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 and the catheter body 100 as an adhesive, which can not only ensure the connection strength between the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 and the catheter body 100, but also improve the sealing effect of the catheter.

[0039] In this embodiment, the sealant 300 may be silicone sealant 300. In other embodiments, there may be no gap between the elastic reinforcing sleeve 200 and the catheter body 100, and the elastic reinforcing sleeve 200 may be fixed to the outer wall of the catheter body 100 by friction or by tightening on the catheter body 100.

[0040] According to an embodiment provided by the utility model, the elastic reinforcing sleeve 200 includes a spring, and the catheter body 100 is arranged inside the spring. In this embodiment, the elastic reinforcing sleeve 200 uses a spring, and a through hole is constructed inside the spring member, and the catheter body 100 passes through the through hole. The spring has a certain elasticity and deformation ability, which ensures that it conforms to the structural shape of the catheter body 100 while also being able to show a protective reinforcement effect on the catheter body 100.

[0041] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the spring is a stainless steel coil spring. In this embodiment, the spring is a stainless steel coil spring, which is formed by stainless steel spring wire and used as a metal elastic body to enhance the strength of the catheter body 100. Stainless steel has structural strength and hardness, and is also corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant.

[0042] In other embodiments, the spring may also be a wave spring, and may be in a mesh structure on the outside of the catheter body 100 to wrap the catheter body 100. The spring may be made of not only metal materials but also polymer materials.

[0043] According to an embodiment provided by the utility model, the inner diameter of the catheter body 100 is 1.2 mm, the outer diameter is 3.2 mm to 6.2 mm, and the outer diameter of the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 is 3.4 mm to 6.4 mm.

[0044] The steam ablation medical device provided by the present invention is described below. The steam ablation medical device described below and the catheter 800 of the steam ablation medical device described above can correspond to each other.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model also provides a steam ablation medical device, including a steam generating component 500, a steam transmission tube 400 and a catheter 800 of the steam ablation medical device as in the above embodiment, wherein the steam generating component 500, the catheter 800 of the steam ablation medical device and the steam transmission tube 400 are connected in sequence.

[0046] In the steam ablation medical device of the embodiment of the utility model, the air outlet of the steam generating component 500 is connected to one end of the catheter 800, and the other end of the catheter 800 is connected to the steam transmission tube 400, so that the enhanced catheter 800 can be assembled into the steam ablation medical device. The water vapor generated by the steam generating component 500 is transported to the steam transmission tube 400 through the catheter 800. During the water vapor transmission process, the catheter 800 of this embodiment can effectively prevent deformation of the tube body caused by thermal expansion.

[0047] The measured data of the dimensions of the conduit 800 during the water vapor delivery process are shown in Table 1 below.

[0050] According to an embodiment provided by the utility model, the duct body 100 is fastened and connected to the steam delivery pipe 400 by the first clamp 600. In this embodiment, the length of the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 is less than the length of the duct body 100, so the elastic reinforcement sleeve 200 is exposed at the end of the duct body 100, and the exposed part is plugged with the steam delivery pipe 400, and is fastened and connected to the outside by the first clamp 600, thereby realizing the sealed and fastened connection between the duct 800 and the steam delivery pipe 400. The duct 800 is connected to the steam delivery pipe 400, and the sealing test is good, and the pressure test reaches 500Kpa, which meets the pressure requirements of steam delivery on the duct 800.

[0051] According to an embodiment provided by the utility model, the duct body 100 is fastened to the steam generating component 500 by the second clamp 700.
