Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to an alveolar lavage device. Background Art

[0002] Bronchoalveolar lavage is a procedure in which a bronchoscope is inserted through the mouth and nose. When the bronchoscope reaches the lesion area, the lesion area is injected with fluid and suctioned with negative pressure. The collected lavage fluid is analyzed to facilitate targeted treatment by doctors. This has been widely accepted in disease diagnosis, but how to improve the efficiency of alveolar lavage and reduce the spread of lesions during lavage remains a problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the utility model proposes an alveolar lavage device which can improve the lavage efficiency, is simple to operate, and can effectively prevent the spread of viruses during the lavage process.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the following technical solutions are adopted:

[0005] A pulmonary alveolar lavage device, comprising

[0006] A collecting bottle, which is used to collect the irrigation fluid and is provided with a first connecting tube and a second connecting tube;

[0007] An adapter, one end of which is connected to the first connecting tube, and the other end of which is connected to the negative pressure suction device;

[0008] The water injection and suction structure includes a guide tube extending from the proximal end to the distal end, wherein the proximal end of the guide tube is connected to the second connecting tube, and the distal end of the guide tube is open. The guide tube has a first flow channel for injecting liquid into the lesion area and a second flow channel for conveying the irrigation liquid to the collection bottle. The first flow channel and the second flow channel are both arranged along the extension direction of the guide tube and extend to the opening. In this technical solution, the injection pipeline is arranged closer to the lesion area, which speeds up the speed at which the liquid reaches the lesion more quickly and improves the irrigation efficiency. Furthermore, the injection and suction pipelines are arranged separately, so that the liquid can be sucked while the liquid is injected, which can improve the irrigation efficiency; at the same time, the operation is simpler.

[0009] As a preferred solution, the flow guide tube includes an outer tube and an inner tube defined inside the outer tube;

[0010] The inner tube comprises a peripheral tube wall and a chamber formed by the peripheral tube wall, the chamber is the first flow channel, and a water injection joint communicating with the first flow channel is provided at the proximal end of the peripheral tube wall;

[0011] The inner diameter of the outer tube is larger than the outer diameter of the inner tube, and the gap formed by the outer tube and the inner tube in the radial direction is the second flow channel; in this technical solution, the structure is simple and the operation is more convenient. At the same time, the inner and outer tubes are used to define the injection and suction pipes, which reduces the radial size of the catheter and improves comfort. At the same time, the injection and suction pipes are separated, which can effectively improve efficiency.

[0012] As a preferred solution, since there is some inflammation or bacteria in the alveoli, and since the trachea in each person's lungs are of different sizes, the drainage tube cannot fit well with the bronchus, resulting in a gap between the drainage tube and the bronchus. During the lavage process, it is easy to cause the inflammation or bacteria to spread from this gap to other parts, increasing the risk of treatment. Therefore, the device also includes a third channel, which is constructed on the outer wall of the drainage tube. A balloon is installed on the outer wall around the head end of the drainage tube. The balloon is connected to the third channel. The balloon is expanded by injecting gas or liquid into the third channel, so that the head of the device is closely attached to the bronchus, thereby preventing the lavage fluid from flowing into other locations.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, a plurality of openings are provided on the tube wall of the guide tube head end, and the openings are axially distributed around the guide tube head end. The plurality of openings are connected to the first flow channel and / or the second flow channel, so that the irrigation fluid can flow out in a scattered manner around the guide tube head end during irrigation, thereby reducing the impact on the trachea.

[0014] As a preferred solution, a transition joint and a switch for controlling the closing of the transition joint are provided between the second connecting pipe and the flow guide pipe, and the state of conduction between the second connecting pipe and the second flow channel is changed by the cooperation between the switch and the transition joint.

[0015] As a preferred solution, a detachable bottle cap is provided at the upper end of the collecting bottle, and a sealing ring for sealing is provided between the bottle cap and the collecting bottle.

[0016] As a preferred solution, the plurality of openings are distributed at a certain interval in the axial direction of the head end of the guide tube, so that the irrigation fluid can flow out evenly during injection.

[0017] As a preferred solution, a scale is provided on the collecting bottle to observe in real time whether the required liquid meets the standard.

[0018] As a preferred solution, a soft head is connected to the head end of the guide tube. The soft head has openings at both ends and is made of soft material. It is connected to the first flow channel and the second flow channel, which can reduce the damage to the human body when the guide tube enters.

[0019] As a preferred solution, a pressure relief port is provided on the adapter.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0021] 1. Improve irrigation efficiency and make operation easier.

[0022] 2. It can reduce the risk of virus spread during irrigation.

[0023] 3. Improve comfort and reduce harm to the human body. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0045] The inner diameter of the outer tube 11 is greater than the outer diameter of the inner tube 12. The gap formed by the outer tube 11 and the inner tube 12 in the radial direction is the second flow channel 10. Under the action of the negative pressure suction device, the liquid enters the collecting bottle 2 from the second flow channel 10 through the second connecting tube 7; this embodiment has a simple structure and is more convenient to operate. At the same time, the inner and outer tubes 11 are used to define the injection and suction pipelines, which reduces the radial size of the catheter and improves comfort.
