Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a combined artificial blood vessel outer sheath and a guiding device with the power to reconstruct lymph nodes. Background Art

[0002] The adventitia is the outermost component structure of blood vessels, mainly including the external elastic lamina, nutrient blood vessels, nerve endings and surrounding loose connective tissue (including fibroblasts and tissue macrophages). Some parts have special receptors such as the carotid body. Sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibers that control blood vessel contraction enter the blood vessels from the adventitia, and the nutrient blood vessels also enter from the adventitia to provide nutrients for the adventitia layer. The adventitia is not only a supporting structure of the blood vessel wall, but can also play a role through complex interaction effects with other components of the blood vessel wall [1]. The adventitia plays an important role in blood vessel growth, function regulation, maintenance of blood vessel homeostasis, and blood vessel remodeling, calcification and fibrosis by secreting active factors, participating in cell phenotype transformation, proliferation, apoptosis, migration, intimal hyperplasia, and collagen synthesis and secretion. Especially for the adventitia that surrounds some large arteries and veins, it will rebound the outward propagating power generated by the pulsation of arterial blood vessels and the fluctuation of venous blood vessels, thereby forming a resultant force to squeeze the lymph nodes distributed around the blood vessels, which helps the lymph fluid in the lymph nodes to flow unidirectionally towards the heart. If the adventitia is damaged or sclerosed, the function of squeezing and stimulating the peripheral lymph nodes of the blood vessels is lost, thus having a certain impact on the circulation and replenishment of lymphocytes. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to research and provide a combined artificial blood vessel outer sheath and a guiding device that can reconstruct the power of lymph nodes, overcoming the deficiency that the adventitia is damaged or sclerosed, resulting in structural damage and loss of the function of squeezing and stimulating the peripheral lymph nodes of the blood vessels, and having the characteristics of simple structure, convenient operation and small damage to the human body.

The shrapnel is a thin strip-like structure and covers the blood vessel bundle. Multiple ligatures successively surround and tie the blood vessel bundle. The two side edges of the shrapnel are respectively provided with linearly distributed and corresponding openings. The openings match the size of the ligatures and accommodate the ligatures to pass through. The tail of the ligature is provided with a positioning strip for positioning. The positioning strip is larger than the above-mentioned opening. The head of the ligature passes through the opening on one side and is fixed to the opening by the positioning strip at the tail of the ligature. The surface of the head of the ligature is provided with a reverse barb-shaped anti-retreat strip. The height of the anti-retreat strip matches the width of the opening on the other side of the shrapnel and passes through and locks in the opening. Multiple symmetrically distributed hook holes are provided on both side edges of the ligature. The shrapnel covers the surface of the blood vessel bundle with the outer peripheral membrane cut or peeled off and fits the surface of the blood vessel bundle. The ligature is used to surround and tie the blood vessel bundle to form a combined artificial blood vessel outer sheath that wraps the blood vessel bundle to replace the damaged or hardened blood vessel outer sheath that has lost its function. The hook holes on the ligature are used for the insertion and pulling of the tractor.

The guiding hooks at its front end are used to hook the hook holes on the ligature, and the handle at its tail facilitates the operator to hold and operate.

[0011] Preferably, the material of the tractor is titanium alloy or stainless steel.

[0012] The usage method of a combined artificial blood vessel outer sheath with the power to reconstruct lymph nodes is as follows:

[0013] 1) Pass the heads of multiple cable ties through the openings on one side of the elastic piece in sequence, and make the positioning strips at the tails of the cable ties snap into the openings to form a strip-shaped elastic piece with multiple cable ties.

[0014] 2) Cover and attach the strip-shaped elastic piece along the direction of the vascular bundle onto the surface of the vascular bundle that needs to reconstruct the lymph node dynamics.

[0015] 3) Pass the front end of the tractor through the lower part of the above-mentioned vascular bundle to the other side of the vascular bundle, corresponding to the corresponding cable ties.

Carry out covering and bundling according to the above operation steps, and fixedly connect the adjacent elastic pieces through the connection holes at the ends of the elastic pieces to form a combined artificial blood vessel outer sheath with the required length.

[0020] 8) At this time, the combined artificial blood vessel outer sheath covers and ties the periphery of the vascular bundle, can simulate the structure of the blood vessel outer membrane, so that the outwardly propagating power generated by the pulsation of the arterial blood vessel and the fluctuation of the venous blood vessel in the vascular bundle rebounds back through the low-elastic combined artificial blood vessel outer sheath. Thus, a resultant force is generated with the above power and squeezes the lymph nodes distributed around the blood vessel, thereby re-establishing the dynamic squeezing and stimulating function of the vascular bundle on the peripheral lymph nodes, which helps the lymph fluid in the lymph nodes to flow unidirectionally towards the proximal end.
