Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of ophthalmic medical instruments, and particularly relates to a lacrimal duct drainage tube. Background Art

[0002] Tear duct obstruction is a common ophthalmic disease, which often occurs at the junction of the lacrimal puncta, lacrimal canaliculi, lacrimal sac or nasolacrimal duct. Tear duct obstruction will cause patients to shed tears for a long time, seriously affecting their daily life. At present, when treating ophthalmic diseases such as tear duct obstruction and dacryocystitis, different styles of tear duct inserters and drainage tubes, tear duct insertable devices, etc. are often used for surgery. During the operation, a silicone tube for supporting the tear duct needs to be inserted in the reverse direction along the nasolacrimal duct. The common structure of this type of medical device is currently recorded in the patent number CN201520794065.8, the publication number CN205054571U, and the patent name is a utility model of a new tear duct drainage tube. Although this drainage tube can complete the catheterization operation, it still has the following inconveniences:

[0003] 1. The guide wire tube can slide up and down on the guide wire to control the shape of the elbow at the front end of the guide wire, so that it can maintain a straight shape for easy guidance. However, it is inconvenient to remove the guide wire tube after the front end guidance is completed; if it is to be removed from the end of the guide wire, the inner diameter of the guide wire tube needs to be larger than the outer diameter of the silicone tube. If the inner diameter is too large, the guide wire is easy to shake during the operation of controlling the shape of the elbow. If the operation is not skilled enough, it is easy to cause discomfort to the patient. Therefore, the guide wire tube needs to be improved;

[0004] 2. The existing silicone tube used as a drainage tube has a smooth surface and is prone to large-area adhesion with the lacrimal duct mucosa, which is not conducive to the recovery of the lacrimal duct and the drainage of tears in the lacrimal duct. Therefore, the silicone tube also needs to be improved. Summary of the invention

[0005] The utility model provides a lacrimal duct drainage tube to solve the technical problems existing in the known technology, which is more convenient for doctors to use and improves the comfort of patients.

[0011] Furthermore, a second longitudinal groove matching the convex ridges of the inner wall of the front end of the silicone tube is provided from the middle to the end of the outer wall of the connector, so as to ensure a firm connection between the two and prevent them from coming loose during the catheterization process.

[0012] Furthermore, the wire guide tube has a length of 100 mm, an outer diameter of 0.65 mm, and an inner diameter of 0.5 mm.

[0013] Furthermore, a longitudinal opening running through both ends of the guide wire tube is provided on the side wall of the guide wire tube, and the doctor can directly separate the guide wire from the guide wire tube through the opening.

[0014] Furthermore, a longitudinal opening is provided on the side wall of the guide wire tube from one end close to the arch wire to the middle of the guide wire tube, and a tear line is provided along the extension line of the longitudinal opening on the guide wire tube. After the doctor moves the guide wire tube toward the rear end of the guide wire for a distance, the lower half of the guide wire tube can be torn or cut along the tear line, thereby separating the guide wire from the guide wire tube.

[0015] Furthermore, a triangular tearing opening is provided on the side wall of the guide wire tube near one end of the arch wire, and a tearing line running through both ends of the guide wire tube is provided at the sharp corner of the tearing opening. After the doctor moves the guide wire tube toward the rear end of the guide wire for a distance, he can tear or cut the guide wire tube from the tearing opening along the tearing line as needed to separate the guide wire from the guide wire tube.

[0016] The utility model has the following advantages and positive effects:

[0017] 1. The utility model provides a longitudinal opening or tear line on the guide wire tube to enable the guide wire to escape from the side wall of the guide wire tube, so that the inner diameter of the guide wire tube can be set smaller, thereby reducing the shaking of the guide wire therein, thereby improving the comfort of the patient.

[0018] 2. The utility model adopts a silicone tube with longitudinal grooves on the outer surface as a drainage tube, which reduces the contact area between the silicone tube and the lacrimal duct mucosa, reduces mucosal adhesion, is beneficial to the recovery of the lacrimal duct and the drainage of tears in the lacrimal duct, thereby improving the patient's comfort.

[0026] Example 1: See attached Figure 1-2A lacrimal drainage tube comprises a guide wire 1, a guide wire tube 4 and a silicone tube 7, wherein the guide wire tube 4 is sleeved on the guide wire 1, and an elbow 3 is provided at one end of the guide wire 1, and the total length of the guide wire 1 and the elbow 3 is 205 mm, and the outer diameter is 0.3 mm. A water drop head 2 is provided at the end of the elbow 3, and the length of the water drop head 2 is 1 mm, and the outer diameter is 0.7 mm. The length of the guide wire tube 4 is 100 mm, the outer diameter is 0.65 mm, and the inner diameter is 0.5 mm. The guide wire 1 can be detached from the side wall of the guide wire tube 4; a longitudinal opening running through both ends of the guide wire tube 4 is provided on the side wall of the guide wire tube 4, and the doctor can directly separate the guide wire 1 from the guide wire tube 4 from this opening.

[0027] The other end of the guide wire 1 is provided with a connector for connecting to the silicone tube 7. The main body outer diameter of the connector 6 is 0.8mm and the overall length is 5.5mm. The outer diameter of the connector 6 is larger than the diameter of the guide wire 1. The front end of the connector 6 is bullet-shaped and smooth, which is convenient for entering the small cavity and can prevent scratching the tissue. An arch wire 5 is provided at the front end of the connector 6. The protruding direction of the arch wire 5 is consistent with the bending direction of the elbow 3; the outer surface of the silicone tube 7 is provided with a longitudinal first groove 701 along the tube wall; the inner wall of the silicone tube 7 at the junction of the silicone tube 7 and the connector 6 has an occlusal relationship with the outer surface of the connector 6. A longitudinal second groove 601 matching the convex ridges of the inner wall of the front end of the silicone tube 7 is provided from the middle to the end of the outer wall of the connector 6 to ensure that the connection between the two is sufficiently stable and will not be disengaged during the catheterization process.

[0028] Example 2: See attached Figure 1-2 The side wall of the guide wire tube 4 is provided with a longitudinal opening from one end close to the arch wire 5 to the middle of the guide wire tube 4, and a tearing line is provided along the extension line of the longitudinal opening on the guide wire tube 4. After the doctor moves the guide wire tube 4 toward the rear end of the guide wire 1 for a distance, the lower half of the guide wire tube 4 can be torn or cut along the tearing line, thereby separating the guide wire 1 from the guide wire tube 4. The other structures are basically the same as those in Example 1.
