Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of medical devices, and particularly relates to the technical field of a Luer multi-channel connector with a forced-mixing-assisted function and its combined application with a prefilled syringe, and specifically relates to a Luer multi-channel connector with a forced-mixing-assisted function and a mixing kit. Background Art

[0002] Injectable filling materials are surgical implants that are injected or filled locally through minimally invasive methods. During surgery, the independently packaged solid and liquid phases usually need to be evenly mixed and formulated into a slurry or mixed liquid of a certain viscosity before being loaded into a syringe for in vivo injection and filling, so uniform mixing is essential. However, in clinical applications, manual stirring and mixing in an open container is often used. The operation process is not only laborious, but also involves the risk of contamination and material waste during the stirring and mixing in an open container and the subsequent transfer and filling of the syringe. The cumbersome operation also prolongs the surgical preparation time. Traditional manual mixing cannot be fast, fully and evenly mixed, and it is very easy to introduce air during the slurry stirring process. At the same time, the traditional mixing process is time-consuming and is not suitable for products where solid and liquid phases are easily reacted, and cannot meet clinical application requirements. On the other hand, the solid and liquid phases of commercially available injectable filling materials are usually packaged in separate sterile bags or bottles. When in use, the process of unpacking the bags and opening the bottles will also increase the risk of contamination and will more or less cause material loss. It is difficult to ensure that the solid and liquid phases are mixed strictly in proportion in actual operation. Material filling loss or deviation of the solid-liquid ratio from the optimal formula will change the various properties of the injectable filling materials and affect the clinical application effect of the injectable filling materials.

[0003] In view of the above problems, CN100450453C discloses an integrated bone cement vacuum stirring syringe, including a stirring device, a vacuum chamber and a syringe, wherein the stirring device is composed of a transmission shaft and stirring blades. However, when using this integrated bone cement vacuum stirring syringe, it is not only necessary to load the solid and liquid phases that have been packaged according to the proportion into the vacuum stirring syringe shell on site, install the vacuum agitator, pull the transmission shaft into place, connect the vacuum chamber with the syringe shell, shake the stirring device handle to stir the bone cement evenly, then remove the vacuum agitator, and then connect it to the bone cement gun for in vivo injection and other procedures. The stirring device is complicated and the operation process is very cumbersome. In addition, the agitator is provided with many stirring blades, which are repeatedly used, which easily pollutes the bone cement and causes a large amount of material waste. At the same time, manual stirring is inefficient and difficult to mix evenly.

[0004] It should be noted that the above contents belong to the technical cognition scope of the inventor. Since the technical contents in this field are vast and too complicated, the above contents of this application do not necessarily constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

[0014] Furthermore, the built-in mixing aid is at least one relatively fixed screw or at least one screw that can be forced to rotate around its central axis arranged in the hollow cavity, and the central axis of the screw is embedded in the connection between the Luer connector and the hollow cavity.

[0020] 3. Beneficial effects:

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] The utility model has reasonable design and provides a Luer multi-channel connector with a forced mixing function, which is simple in structure, low in production cost and easy to mass produce;

[0023] By arranging a forced mixing component between the Luer connectors, the solid and liquid phases pre-filled in two syringes can be conveniently, quickly and uniformly forced to mix, thereby reducing bubbles, avoiding external contamination and material waste;

[0024] At the same time, adding built-in mixing aids between the forced mixing components can force the solid and liquid phase mixtures to pass through various forms of channels in the hollow cavity, extend the channel length of the forced stirring and mixing of the solid and liquid phases, and greatly improve the mixing efficiency of the solid and liquid phases, so as to achieve the purpose of ready-to-use after mixing. It is particularly suitable for product applications in which the components of solid and liquid phase materials are prone to react when mixing and the curing reaction time is very short. It is also suitable for the mixing of materials with poor compatibility of the physical and chemical properties of the solid and liquid phases.

[0025] The invention is beneficial to shorten the operation preparation time and is very convenient to use. It is particularly suitable for achieving uniform mixing of solid-phase mixed materials with different densities and liquid-phase by rapid forced stirring motion.

[0026] The present application fills the solid phase powder into the syringe barrel prefilled with solid phase powder, and fills the liquid phase into the syringe barrel prefilled with liquid phase, and together with the Luer multi-channel connector with forced mixing function, forms a kit, which is then sterilized and marketed. The solid-liquid mixing kit has a reasonable configuration, simple composition, and low cost. When used clinically, just unplug the Luer plug, and connect the two ends of the Luer multi-channel connector with forced mixing function to the male Luer connectors of the syringes prefilled with liquid phase and prefilled with solid phase powder, respectively, to form an internally closed solid-liquid forced mixing system. The operation is very simple, which can not only avoid bacterial contamination caused by material exposure, avoid bubble formation, material loss, and improve material utilization, but also because the double female Luer multi-channel connector with forced mixing function and the prefilled syringe are disposable, there is no cross contamination.

[0027] By pushing the plungers of two prefilled syringes in sequence, the solid-liquid mixture is passed through the Luer multi-channel connector with forced mixing function for multiple times. The solid-liquid mixture is subjected to forced extrusion and shear force through the built-in mixing aid, so that materials of different densities are quickly forced to stir and evenly mix. On the basis of eliminating the disadvantages of traditional propeller stirring methods such as exogenous pollution and slurry loss, the mixing efficiency and quality are greatly improved, and a uniform mixture can be obtained in a short time. It can not only meet the clinical application requirements of homogenizing and defoaming injectable filling materials with rapid solidification, high viscosity, large difference in component specific gravity and poor compatibility of physical and chemical properties, and avoiding air mixing, but also can greatly save mixing and injection waiting time, simplify surgical preparation procedures, and reduce the risk of operational errors.

The syringes at both ends move back and forth respectively, and the solids or liquids inside repeatedly pass through the space in the middle of the forced mixing component 1, thereby achieving a forced mixing effect of the solid and liquid phases.

[0049] The Luer connector 2 is three-dimensionally distributed around the forced mixing component 1. The Luer connector 2 and the forced mixing component 1 are connected and integrated into one by platform gluing, heat sealing or threaded interface. The central axes of the Luer connectors 2 around the forced mixing component 1 are distributed at a three-dimensional angle greater than 0° and less than or equal to 180°. The forced mixing component 1 can be connected to multiple Luer connectors 2 and connected to a syringe to achieve a mixing effect of multiple solids and liquids.

Gaps are left between the porous plates 5, and the symmetric centers of the channel holes on adjacent porous plates 5 are arranged in a staggered manner.

[0054] The arrangement of the porous plate 5 is conducive to the rapid circulation and mixing of the internal substances.

[0055] The built-in mixing aid 4 is at least one relatively fixed screw 6 or at least one screw 6 that can be forced to rotate around its central axis, which is arranged in the hollow cavity 3.

The forced rotating screw 6 facilitates the rapid forced mixing of the materials flowing back and forth. The diameter of the screw 6 is smaller than the diameter of the channel in the hollow cavity 3. During installation, the screw can be directly placed in the hollow cavity, and then the Luer connector 2 is installed at the port of the hollow cavity 3.

It should be noted that the device can be made of non-medical materials in usage scenarios.

[0059] The Luer connector 2 or the forced mixing assembly 1 is respectively prepared by injection molding process and then assembled into one by gluing, heat sealing or threading.

The following is an example of a common syringe. For example, the solid-liquid mixing kit includes a forced mixing component 1 with two Luer connectors 2, a pre-filled liquid phase syringe and a pre-filled solid phase powder syringe; the two Luer connectors 2 are respectively connected to the Luer connectors of the above two syringes, so that the three are connected in series to form a closed mixing system; the pre-filled liquid phase syringe or the pre-filled solid phase powder syringe are respectively composed of a barrel The invention is composed of a body, a plunger rod, a female Luer plug and liquid or solid phase powder; one end of the body is open and has two fin-shaped shoulders, and the other end is provided with a male Luer connector and sealed by a female Luer plug; one end of the plunger rod is provided with a push handle and the other end is provided with a piston, and can freely slide back and forth in the body of the body; the plunger rod of the syringe pre-filled with liquid phase is pushed to inject the liquid phase into the syringe pre-filled with solid phase powder through the Luer connector 2 with forced mixing function, and then the plunger rod of the syringe pre-filled with solid phase powder is pushed to inject the liquid-solid mixture in the syringe into the syringe pre-filled with liquid phase through the Luer connector 2 with forced mixing function, and this is repeated for multiple times to obtain a uniform mixture.

[0063] The following is an example of a pre-filled liquid phase syringe in combination with actual conditions. The pre-filled syringe includes a pre-filled liquid phase syringe and a pre-filled solid phase powder syringe.

[0072] During clinical use, the solid-liquid mixing kit package is opened, and the Luer plugs on the two syringes pre-filled with α-tricalcium phosphate composite powder and the pre-filled with sodium hydrogen phosphate aqueous solution are respectively unplugged, and the Luer interfaces at both ends of the polyetheretherketone Luer multi-channel connector with a forced mixing function are respectively connected to the Luer connectors of the syringes pre-filled with sodium hydrogen phosphate aqueous solution and the pre-filled α-tricalcium phosphate composite powder; then, the plungers of the two syringes are pushed in turn to make the solid and liquid phase mixtures repeatedly pass through the hollow cavity 3 of the polyetheretherketone Luer multi-channel connector with a forced mixing function. When passing through the hollow cavity 3, the polyetheretherketone screw 6 is fixed relative to the hollow cavity 3, so that the solid and liquid phase mixtures of the α-tricalcium phosphate composite powder and the disodium hydrogen phosphate aqueous solution are forced to be squeezed out from the spiral channel and sheared, so that materials of different densities are quickly forced to stir and achieve uniform mixing, and a uniform mixture can be obtained within 1 minute, which greatly shortens the surgical preparation time.

[0073] The following is an application example 4 of the present application in combination with the specific situation. Figure 1-4 Medical-grade light-cured polyethylene resin was used to prepare a polyethylene Luer multi-channel connector with forced mixing function through one-time integral processing using additive manufacturing technology.

[0074] The calcium phosphate bone cement powder is filled into a syringe barrel pre-filled with solid phase powder, and the blending liquid is filled into a syringe barrel pre-filled with liquid phase. Together with an additively manufactured polyethylene Luer multi-channel connector with forced mixing function, the kit is packaged and sterilized for marketing.

[0075] During clinical use, the solid-liquid mixing kit package is opened, and the Luer plugs on the two syringes pre-filled with calcium phosphate bone cement powder and pre-filled with the blending liquid are respectively unplugged, and the Luer interfaces at both ends of the polyethylene Luer multi-channel connector with a forced mixing function are respectively connected to the Luer connectors of the syringes pre-filled with the blending liquid and pre-filled with calcium phosphate bone cement powder; then, the plunger rods of the two syringes are pushed in turn to make the solid-liquid mixture pass through the hollow cavity 3 of the polyethylene Luer multi-channel connector with a forced mixing function repeatedly for many times, so that the calcium phosphate bone cement powder and the blending liquid solid-liquid mixture are forced to be extruded in the spiral channel of the polyethylene Luer multi-channel connector with a forced mixing function, and under the action of shear force, the materials of different densities are quickly forced to stir and achieve uniform mixing, and a uniform mixture can be obtained within 0.5 minutes, which greatly shortens the surgical preparation time.

[0076] The utility model uses a Luer multi-channel connector with a forced mixing aid function, so that solid and liquid phases pre-filled in two syringes are conveniently, evenly and quickly mixed, and bubbles in the mixture are reduced, and external pollution and material waste are avoided. The mixture can be used immediately after mixing, and the utility model is particularly suitable for product applications in which solid and liquid phase materials are easily reacted and the reaction time is very short.

[0077] The above-described embodiments only express a certain implementation method of the utility model, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the utility model shall be based on the attached claims.
