Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of intragastric balloons, and particularly relates to an intragastric balloon device. Background Technique
[0002] Placing an intragastric balloon is a weight loss procedure that requires placing a silicone balloon filled with physiological saline in the stomach. It helps patients lose weight by restricting food intake and generating a sense of fullness more quickly. This type of intragastric balloon generally consists of a catheter and an inflatable silicone balloon. When in use, the silicone balloon is swallowed into the stomach through the catheter, and then sodium chloride solution is injected into the silicone balloon through the catheter. The inflated balloon will cause a sense of fullness, thus achieving the effect of assisting in weight loss. After the balloon has been used for several months, it will be emptied through an automatically opened valve and then excreted from the body with feces. This type of intragastric balloon can avoid surgery, the process of placement and removal, and does not require a gastroscope, which not only reduces costs but also avoids the pain and fear of patients.
[0003] In actual use of this type of intragastric balloon in the prior art, depth marks are set on its catheter, but the marking form is to smear a circle of black silicone on the outer surface of the white silicone catheter to form a circular mark. In actual application, due to the difficulty in controlling the amount of black silicone smeared, the consistency of the marks is ultimately poor, and it is often painted in a doughnut shape, resulting in the marks being prone to falling off. Moreover, the existing intragastric balloon catheter is prone to breakage during the recovery process. Since there is no mark on the catheter to facilitate identification of whether it is broken, medical staff cannot timely discover the remaining broken catheter, which has drawbacks. Therefore, the present utility model proposes an intragastric balloon device. Content of the Utility Model

Detailed implementation mode
[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0022] Embodiment 1
[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a technical solution: a gastric balloon device, including
[0024] a catheter 1, a main body 2 provided at the top end of the catheter 1, and a connector 3 provided at the bottom end of the catheter 1;
[0025] The catheter 1 is made of black silicone material. Multiple white depth marks 12 are processed on the surface of the catheter 1 by laser marking. This marking method is easy to control during the processing process and also makes the later marks more stable without the risk of falling off;
[0026] A recovery identification mechanism is also provided on the catheter 1. The recovery identification mechanism includes a proximal mark 11 and a distal mark 13 provided on the surface of the top end of the catheter 1. The proximal mark 11 and the distal mark 13 are also processed by laser marking. The proximal mark 11 is outside the main body 2, and the distal mark 13 is inside the inner socket 21. So that during the subsequent recovery process of the catheter 1, the operator can observe whether the proximal mark 11 and the distal mark 13 still remain on the surface of the recovered catheter 1. If the proximal mark 11 and the depth mark 12 are not found after recovery, it means that the recovery of the catheter 1 is unsuccessful and there is a situation where part of the catheter is broken and left inside the main body 2. At this time, medical staff need to perform corresponding removal operations in time, otherwise the liquid in the main body 2 will leak out from the broken and left catheter 1. If the proximal mark 11 and the distal mark 13 exist on the surface of the recovered catheter 1, it means that the recovery of the catheter 1 is in good condition and the main body 2 is successfully placed.
[0027] Among them, an integrated inner socket 21 is provided on the inner wall of the main body 2, and the top end of the catheter 1 is inserted and installed inside the inner socket 21.
[0028] Among them, multiple depth markers 12 are respectively composed of different numbers of annular markers. For example, the first depth marker 12 is composed of one annular marker, the second depth marker 12 is composed of two annular markers, the third depth marker 12 is composed of three annular markers, and so on.
[0029] Embodiment 2
[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , which is the second embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. The difference is that it further includes a detachable silicone blocking ring 4. There is a disassembly and assembly mechanism between the detachable silicone blocking ring 4 and the joint 3. The disassembly and assembly mechanism includes two side ears 31 provided on the surface of the joint 3, a jack 41 opened on the surface of the detachable silicone blocking ring 4, and two strip-shaped side notches 42. The strip-shaped side notches 42 communicate with the jack 41. The disassembly and assembly mechanism further includes two circular protrusions 43 provided on the inner surface of the detachable silicone blocking ring 4, and the two circular protrusions 43 are respectively on both sides of the jack 41. A circular card slot 32 corresponding to the circular protrusion 43 is opened on the surface of the side ear 31.
[0031] Among them, the detachable silicone blocking ring 4 and the circular protrusion 43 are of an integral structure, and both are made of silicone material and will undergo elastic deformation when being squeezed.
[0032] In summary, during actual use, a detachable silicone blocking ring 4 can be installed on the joint 3 to prevent the patient from directly swallowing the catheter 1 completely during the process of swallowing the catheter 1, avoiding unnecessary troubles. During actual operation, the side ear 31 can be aligned with the strip-shaped side notch 42, and then the joint 3 is inserted into the jack 41, so that the side ear 31 can penetrate through the strip-shaped side notch 42 to the inside of the detachable silicone blocking ring 4. At this time, the joint 3 or the detachable silicone blocking ring 4 is rotated again, so that the side ear 31 is no longer aligned with the strip-shaped side notch 42, and the circular protrusion 43 is squeezed to undergo elastic deformation and is squeezed into the circular card slot 32, then the detachable silicone blocking ring 4 and the joint 3 can be quickly assembled together. Under the block of the detachable silicone blocking ring 4, it can prevent the patient from directly swallowing the catheter 1 completely during the process of swallowing the catheter 1. If the detachable silicone blocking ring 4 and the joint 3 need to be disassembled later, only need to rotate the joint 3 or the detachable silicone blocking ring 4 again to make the side ear 31 aligned with the strip-shaped side notch 42, and then the detachable silicone blocking ring 4 and the joint 3 can be directly disassembled, with flexible use.
[0033] Although the embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described (see the above detailed description), for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
