AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In minimally invasive interventional surgery, when the microcatheter is injected with liquid or embolizer, the liquid or embolizer is prone to reverse flow due to the gap between the inner wall of the blood vessel and the outer wall of the microcatheter, resulting in damage to the non-target blood vessel or organ.

Method used

Anti-reversal flow device is provided on the microcatheter. The anti-reversal flow device protrudes on the outer wall of the catheter tube, and its maximum outer diameter is similar to the inner diameter of the blood vessel, reducing the gap between the microcatheter and the inner wall of the blood vessel, thereby avoiding the counterflow of liquid or embolizing agents.

Benefits of technology

By reducing the gap between the blood vessel and the head end of the microcatheter, the risk of liquid or embolizer counterflow is significantly reduced, the liquid counterflow rate is reduced by 50%-100%, and the clinical operation process is simplified.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a micro-catheter with an anti-backflow device, belonging to the technical field of medical equipment. Background Art

[0002] A microcatheter is a reinforced catheter with a very small diameter, mainly used in minimally invasive interventional procedures. The diameter of a microcatheter is usually between 0.70-1.30 mm. The design of this catheter enables it to move flexibly within the body's blood vessels and perform multiple tasks, such as supporting guidewires, exchanging guidewires, passing through diseased tissues, and delivering embolic agents and stents.

[0003] During the operation, after the microcatheter enters the intended blood vessel at the lesion site, during the process of injecting liquid or embolic agent into the lesion site, due to the gap between the inner wall of the blood vessel and the outer wall of the microcatheter, the liquid or embolic agent will flow back along the gap during injection, thus affecting non-target blood vessels or organs, which may lead to serious complications. Taking the current cutting-edge adrenal artery ablation as an example, because the ablation liquid is anhydrous ethanol, which has strong fluidity, the backflowing anhydrous ethanol will damage the blood vessels that are not the ablation target. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above deficiencies in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a microcatheter with an anti-backflow device, add the anti-backflow device to the microcatheter, reduce the gap between the blood vessel and the tip of the microcatheter, and thus avoid the backflow of liquid or embolic agent.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is to provide a microcatheter with an anti-backflow device. The anti-backflow device is arranged on the catheter body, and the anti-backflow device can reduce the gap between the microcatheter and the inner wall of the blood vessel, thereby avoiding the backflow of liquid or embolic agent during injection.

[0007] Preferably, the number of the anti-backflow device is at least one, and the anti-backflow device is fixed to the catheter body by welding, adhesive connection or threaded connection.

[0008] Preferably, the catheter tube body is composed of at least an inner resin layer and an outer resin layer, a braided layer is sandwiched between the inner resin layer and the outer resin layer, and the braided layer can improve the pressure resistance and pushing performance of the catheter tube body; the outer wall of the catheter tube body can be provided with a hydrophilic coating to reduce the friction of the catheter tube body when it moves in the blood vessel, thereby reducing damage to the blood vessel.

[0009] Furthermore, a developing ring is provided near the head end of the catheter tube body to facilitate viewing of the head end of the catheter tube body under CT equipment.

[0010] Preferably, the catheter seat is adhesively connected to the catheter body, and a stress diffusion tube is sleeved on the catheter body. The stress diffusion tube is located at the connection between the catheter body and the catheter seat to prevent the connection from being bent and damaged due to stress during surgery.

[0011] Preferably, the anti-backflow device has an outer shape of a drum, a cone, a spindle, or a cylinder.

[0012] Preferably, the material of the backflow prevention device is one of resin, silicone, ceramic, stainless steel, and precious metal; the precious metal is one of gold, silver, tantalum, and platinum-iridium alloy.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
