Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a tail wire ureteral stent. Background Art
[0002] The ureteral stent tube is one of the commonly used tools in urological surgery, and is often used in kidney stone and ureteral stone surgeries, as well as in ureteral plasty and repair surgeries. It can be used to drain hydronephrosis, especially infected hydronephrosis. After the ureteral stent tube is placed, it temporarily communicates the kidney and the bladder to ensure that the urine in the kidney smoothly drains into the bladder.
[0003] The existing patent (publication number: CN215192618U) discloses that "the utility model relates to a ureteral stent, which includes a stent body, a renal pelvis connecting body and a bladder connecting body connected to both ends of the stent body. The stent body is in the shape of a hollow spring. The two ends of the stent body are connected with inwardly curled parts in opposite directions to form a renal pelvis connecting body and a bladder connecting body. A positioning rod penetrating both ends of the stent body is arranged inside the stent body, and both ends of the positioning rod are respectively fixed to the renal pelvis connecting body and the bladder connecting body. The renal pelvis connecting body and the bladder connecting body are both curled from tubes with the same and uniform diameter. The two ends of the stent body are respectively fixed on the corresponding end faces of the renal pelvis connecting body and the bladder connecting body. The tubes where the renal pelvis connecting body is located and the tubes where the bladder connecting body is located are both made of plastic materials. The stent body of the utility model is in a hollow form, which provides stable support for the ureter and ensures that there is no absolute blockage at any contact part between the ureter and the stent body, thus ensuring the drainage effect."
[0004] The inventor found the following problems in the prior art during the implementation of the present utility model: After the existing ureteral stent is implanted, the symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, and low back pain in patients are relatively obvious.
