Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular relates to a nerve cannula. Background Art

[0002] In daily life, nerve damage caused by various reasons occurs all the time. Open peripheral nerve damage and some closed nerve damage require nerve repair. Nerve cells have weak regeneration ability and cannot repair themselves by dividing and proliferating after injury. Therefore, anastomosis of the broken ends of nerve axons is an effective method for repair.

[0003] In terms of accelerating the anastomosis of the broken ends and promoting the growth of nerve cells, the nerve sheath not only creates a microenvironment rich in various neurotrophic factors, preventing the growth of peripheral connective tissue and the formation of neuromas, but also ensures that the axons at the broken ends are not compressed.

[0004] The nerve sleeve in the prior art is cylindrical in shape, and the inner wall of the cylindrical sleeve provides mechanical conduction stress for the growth of the residual nerve. During the regeneration of nerve fibers, since the cylindrical sleeve has no guiding function, it often grows divergently to the surroundings to form a neuroma, which can easily cause adverse effects on patients. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0006] A nerve sleeve tube comprises a sleeve tube body. Both ends of the sleeve tube body are open. A gradually contracting area, a straight area and a gradually expanding area are sequentially arranged in the sleeve tube body.

[0008] Furthermore, a membrane capsule is provided on the inner wall of the sleeve tube body located in the gradually contracting area and the gradually expanding area. The membrane capsule is arranged in an annular shape, one side of the membrane capsule is connected to the inner wall of the sleeve tube body, and the other side is an expansion part. The membrane capsule is provided with an inflation port connected to the interior thereof, so that gas can be filled into the membrane capsule to expand it.

[0009] Furthermore, the membrane sac located in the gradually contracting area is connected to the membrane sac located in the gradually expanding area through a plurality of air guide tubes, and the plurality of air guide tubes are located in the tube wall of the sleeve tube body.

[0010] Furthermore, the plurality of air guide tubes are evenly arranged along the circumference of the sleeve tube body.

[0011] Furthermore, the membrane capsule is made of latex or silicone material.

[0012] Furthermore, the sleeve body is circumferentially provided with a plurality of observation ports.

[0013] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0014] The nerve sleeve tube provided by the utility model is provided with a tapered area, a straight area and a gradually expanding area, wherein the tapered area and the gradually expanding area serve as guide areas at both ends of the nerve sleeve tube, and the straight area serves as a nerve recovery anastomosis area, so that during the process of nerve growth, the nerve can be prevented from diverging and growing around to form a neuroma, without affecting the patient.
