Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a gallbladder stent. Background Art

[0002] Gallstones are a common type of cholelithiasis. Except for a small number of asymptomatic gallstones that can be followed up and observed, most gallstones require surgical treatment. The surgery for gallstones is cholecystectomy, which can be roughly divided into two types, one is open surgery, and the other is minimally invasive surgery, mainly laparoscopic surgery. During gallbladder surgery, the relationship between important structures such as the cystic duct, common bile duct, common hepatic duct, left and right hepatic ducts should be clearly identified, and then the gallbladder blood vessels should be severed, and then the cystic duct should be ligated and cut off, and finally the gallbladder should be removed from the gallbladder bed of the liver. Because the gallbladder is a very important digestive and immune organ in the human body, removing the gallbladder will bring many side effects, such as indigestion, diarrhea and bloating, bile reflux gastritis, common bile duct stone formation, and even increase the risk of colon cancer.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need to provide a gallbladder stent to alleviate the technical problem in related technologies that most gallbladder stones require surgical resection. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a gallbladder stent to alleviate the technical problem that most gallbladder stones in the related art need to be removed by surgical treatment.

[0005] According to one aspect of the utility model, a gallbladder stent includes a stent body, which can be radially contracted so that the stent body can pass through the duodenal papilla opening and enter the gallbladder opening, and the stent body can be radially expanded so that the stent body can expand the common bile duct and the cystic duct and enter the gallbladder opening; the outer diameter of the stent body gradually decreases from the proximal end to the distal end, and the cross-section is circular.

[0006] Preferably, the proximal outer diameter of the stent body is 8-10 mm, and the distal outer diameter of the stent body is 3-4 mm.

[0007] Preferably, the stent body is formed by braiding wires, the proximal braiding density of the stent body is 40-50 PPI, and the distal braiding density of the stent body is 20-25 PPI.

[0008] Preferably, the braided wire is nickel-titanium alloy.

[0009] Preferably, the braided wire has a diameter of 0.06-0.10 mm.

[0010] Preferably, development marks are respectively provided at the distal end and the proximal end of the stent body.

[0011] Preferably, a connecting coil is provided at the proximal end of the stent body.

[0012] Preferably, both ends of the bracket body are connected with openings, and the diameter of the openings gradually increases from the end connected to the bracket body to the end away from the bracket body.

[0013] Preferably, a support structure is provided at the distal end of the stent body.

[0014] The gallbladder stent of the utility model is inserted into the body through a special conveyor, and the released gallbladder stent covers the gallbladder opening, cystic duct and common bile duct, thereby forming a passage for surgical instruments to enter and exit inside the stent body, which is convenient for instruments such as choledochoscopes to enter the gallbladder for lithotripsy and remove stones in the gallbladder without removing the gallbladder. In addition, it can also be used for gallbladder polypectomy and gallbladder biopsy through the natural cavity. The passage formed by the gallbladder stent body also prevents larger stones in the gallbladder from being discharged and blocking the cystic duct or common bile duct. During in vitro lithotripsy or cholepancreatoscope laser lithotripsy, the inserted gallbladder stent can ensure the patency of the gallbladder opening, cystic duct and common bile duct. After lithotripsy, it can be inserted into the nasobiliary duct under the guidance of a guide wire through the passage of the gallbladder stent for flushing with liquid medicine and negative pressure to remove stones in the gallbladder. At the same time, the proximal end of the gallbladder stent body is located in the duodenal papillary sphincter. The gallbladder stent body has no effect on the duodenal papillary sphincter. The papillary sphincter can be automatically opened / closed according to human physiological needs. The gallbladder stent will not affect the bile gathering in the gallbladder. The gathered bile can further dilute the gallbladder stones. The connection coil at the proximal end of the gallbladder stent body can expose the outside of the papillary sphincter. After the gallbladder stones are removed, the gallbladder stent can be removed from the body through the connection coil at the proximal end of the gallbladder stent body with tools such as biopsy forceps or foreign body forceps.
