[0002] An airway stent is a medical device used to treat airway stenosis or obstruction. It is usually made of metal or polymer materials and has certain support and flexibility. It can expand the narrowed airway and improve ventilation function. When using an airway stent, a doctor will select a suitable stent type and size according to the specific situation of the patient and place it at the airway stenosis site through tools such as an endoscope.

[0003] Airway stents have many advantages in tracheal treatment. Tracheal stents can effectively expand the narrowed airway, maintain airway patency, and improve respiratory function. At the same time, the application scope of tracheal stents is relatively wide and can be used for airway stenosis at different sites and degrees. In addition, the operation of installing an airway stent is simple and can be easily placed and adjusted through tools such as an endoscope.

[0004] When treating the airway trifurcation with existing tracheal stents, it usually requires two straight stents to be combined. Multiple straight stents require multiple surgeries, which will increase the surgical risk. Moreover, the straight stents are prone to slipping and displacement at the airway trifurcation, thus posing a hazard to the safety of patients. For this reason, a medical L-shaped airway stent is proposed to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to make up for the above deficiencies, the utility model provides a medical L-shaped airway stent, aiming to improve the problems that when treating the airway trifurcation in the prior art, two straight stents need to be combined, resulting in multiple surgeries and stent slipping and displacement.

[0033] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, an embodiment provided by the present utility model: a medical L-shaped airway stent, including a main stent 1, one end of the main stent 1 is fixedly connected with a connecting stent 6, one side of the connecting stent 6 is fixedly connected with a side stent 3, one side of the connecting stent 6 is fixedly connected with a second protective rubber ring 5, both sides of the main stent 1 are fixedly connected with a first protective rubber ring 4, both sides of the side stent 3 are fixedly connected with a second protective rubber ring 5, one side of the connecting stent 6 is fixedly connected inside one side of the first protective rubber ring 4, the other side of the connecting stent 6 is fixedly connected inside one side of the second protective rubber ring 5, the outer wall of the connecting stent 6 is fixedly connected with a shape memory metal frame 7, one side of the shape memory metal frame 7 is fixedly connected inside one side of the first protective rubber ring 4, the other side of the shape memory metal frame 7 is fixedly connected inside one side of the second protective rubber ring 5, both sides of the connecting stent 6 are fixedly connected with protective rubber strips 8, and both sides of the shape memory metal frame 7 are fixedly connected inside the two protective rubber strips 8;

[0034] Specifically, the tracheal stent firmly connects the main stent 1 and the side stent 3 through the connecting stent 6 to form an integrated L-shaped tracheal stent, effectively preventing it from slipping and shifting during use. The three are made of nitinol alloy, which has good support and biocompatibility, thus improving the stability and safety of the stent. At the same time, the first protective rubber ring 4 and the second protective rubber ring 5 are arranged at both ends of the main stent 1 and the side stent 3, which can effectively prevent the end faces of the second protective rubber ring 5 and the first protective rubber ring 4 from rubbing the film attached to the outside of the stent and avoid causing harm to the patient, further ensuring the safety of the patient. In addition, a shape memory metal frame 7 is arranged inside the connecting stent 6, which can conveniently adjust the bending degree of the stent according to the shapes and requirements of different tracheas. At the same time, the shape memory metal frame 7 also uses nitinol shape memory alloy, so that it has good shape memory effect and biocompatibility, enabling the stent to better adapt to different tracheas and improving the treatment effect. There is a notch at the connection of the main stent 1 and the side stent 3, which can avoid the stent blocking the other bronchus after being covered with a film, ensuring the patency of the airway and being beneficial to the patient's breathing.

[0035] Refer to Figure 3 And Figure 4 , an endoscope body 2 is arranged inside the main stent 1, fixed blocks 10 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the main stent 1, rotating shafts 15 are rotatably connected to both sides inside the endoscope body 2, hook grooves 11 are formed inside the fixed blocks 10, a hook claw 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 15, a second magnet 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the hook claw 13, first magnets 9 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the main stent 1, and the outer walls of the first magnets 9 are attached to the outer walls of the second magnets 12.

The reset assembly includes a spring 14, one end of the spring 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the hook claw 13, and the other end of the spring 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the endoscope body 2;

[0036] Specifically, when removing the stent, the endoscope body 2 can be inserted into the main stent 1. The endoscope body 2 is a part of a rigid tracheoscope and has strong support, thus facilitating the removal of the stent. When the front end of the endoscope body 2 passes through the fixing block 10, the second magnet 12 will be adsorbed by the first magnet 9, causing the second magnet 12 to fit with the first magnet 9. At this time, the second magnet 12 will drive the hook 13 to rotate around the rotating shaft 15, causing the hook 13 to open outward against the force of the spring 14. Then, when the endoscope body 2 is withdrawn from the main stent 1, the hook 13 will hook into the hook groove 11 opened inside the fixing block 10, thus facilitating the extraction of the stent through the endoscope body 2. This design is simple to operate, and the removal process is safer and more reliable. At the same time, this design also improves the efficiency of stent removal and reduces the operation time.

[0037] Working principle: The tracheal stent forms an integrated L-shaped tracheal stent by connecting the main stent 1 and the side stent 3 through the connecting stent 6, thereby preventing it from slipping and shifting during use. At the same time, protective rubber rings 4 and 5 are provided at both ends of the main stent 1 and the side stent 3 to prevent the end faces of the protective rubber ring 5 and the protective rubber ring 4 from abrading the film attached to the outside of the stent, thus endangering the safety of the patient. At the same time, a shape memory metal frame 7 is provided inside the connecting stent 6, which can facilitate the adjustment of the bending degree of the stent, so that the stent can adapt to different tracheas. A notch is provided at the connection between the main stent 1 and the side stent 3 to avoid blocking the other bronchus after the film is attached. When removing the stent, the endoscope body 2 can be inserted into the main stent 1. When the front end of the endoscope body 2 passes through the fixing block 10, the second magnet 12 will be adsorbed by the first magnet 9, so that the second magnet 12 fits with the first magnet 9. Then, the second magnet 12 will drive the hook 13 to rotate around the rotating shaft 15, causing the hook 13 to open outward against the force of the spring 14. Then, when the endoscope body 2 is withdrawn from the main stent 1, the hook 13 will hook into the hook groove 11 opened inside the fixing block 10, thus facilitating the extraction of the stent through the endoscope body 2.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features.
