Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work conditions belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0025] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "middle", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0026] As Figure 1 —4 shows, the specific solution of the embodiment is as follows: An adjustable expansion balloon catheter includes a fixed handle 1. The fixed handle 1 serves as the operation basis for the entire catheter system. The fixed handle 1 provides a stable holding point. Through its stable design, the stability and safety of the surgical operation are ensured, and the operation errors caused by the sliding or loosening of the fixed handle 1 are reduced. A rotating seat 102 is provided on the fixed handle 1. A through hole is provided on the rotating seat 102, and a sealing silicone member is installed inside the through hole. By rotating the rotating seat 102, its through hole can be blocked to prevent the leakage of liquid or gas after the guide wire 8 is withdrawn;

[0027] One end of the fixed handle 1 is connected to a sheath tube 2. The sheath tube 2 serves as a carrier for the balloon 3, the discharge unit 4, and the guide wire 8. The sheath tube 2 provides necessary channels and protection. The sheath tube 2 is provided with an orientation channel 201, a delivery channel 202, and a wire passage 203. The diameter of the sheath tube 2 is 1.2 mm - 1.6 mm. The diameters of the orientation channel 201 and the delivery channel 202 are 0.2 mm - 0.5 mm. The diameter of the wire passage 203 is 0.7 mm - 0.9 mm. The orientation channel 201, the delivery channel 202, and the wire passage 203 are respectively used to control the direction of the balloon 3, deliver contrast agent and stamping medium, and guide the guide wire 8. The multi-channel design makes the catheter function more comprehensive and can meet different surgical needs. At the same time, the reasonable size design ensures the unobstructedness of the channels and improves the surgical efficiency. An injection tube 101 communicating with the delivery channel 202 is provided on the fixed handle 1. The setting of the injection tube 101 can inject contrast agent into the inner side of the balloon 3 to perform angiography during the operation and clarify the lesion location. A stamping tube 204 communicating with the delivery channel 202 is provided on the sheath tube 2. The setting of the stamping tube 204 can perform stamping on the inner side of the balloon 3 to expand the balloon 3 to dilate blood vessels.

[0028] The sheath tube 2 is provided with a balloon 3 and a discharge unit 4. The balloon 3 is the main component for expanding blood vessels. It compresses plaques or stenotic parts on the blood vessel wall by expanding to restore blood vessel patency. The discharge unit 4 is located inside the balloon 3. The discharge unit 4 includes a discharge part and a developing identification ring. The discharge part can be used for electrophysiological treatment, and the developing identification ring can be used to clearly display the position of the balloon 3 under X-ray.

[0029] A spring tube 5 is installed at one end of the sheath tube 2 away from the fixed handle 1. The spring tube 5 can be welded or bonded according to the material of the sheath tube 2. The spring tube 5 has a certain flexibility and a certain resilience, and can maintain the stability of its internal structure when the catheter is bent. A protective layer 501 is provided on the outer side of the spring tube 5. The length of the spring tube 5 is 25 mm - 35 mm. The diameter of the spring tube 5 is 1 mm - 1.4 mm. A steel wire rope 6 passing through the sheath tube 2 is installed on the inner side wall of the spring tube 5. The steel wire rope 6 can be welded or bonded to the inner side wall of the spring tube 5. The combined design of the spring tube 5 and the steel wire rope 6 realizes the adjustable direction of the balloon 3, enabling doctors to easily handle complex blood vessel structures and improving the surgical success rate;

[0030] The fixed handle 1 is provided with an adjustment handle 7 connected with the steel wire 6, and the steel wire 6 is connected with the adjustment handle 7 through a limit seat. The adjustment handle 7 is used to control the pulling or releasing of the steel wire 6. The design of the adjustment handle 7 makes the direction adjustment operation more intuitive and convenient. The adjustment handle 7 is provided with a through hole for the guide wire 8 to pass through. The adjustment handle 7 and the fixed handle 1 are respectively provided with a ring structure. The fixed handle 1 is provided with a slide groove 103 for the adjustment handle 7 to slide. The sheath tube 2 is provided with a guide wire 8 passing through the spring tube 5. The guide wire 8 passes through the wire channel 203, the through hole, the through hole and the spring tube 5. The guiding effect of the guide wire 8 ensures that the catheter can smoothly reach the target position, reducing the blindness and uncertainty during the operation.

[0031] When the balloon 3 needs to be adjusted, the adjusting handle 7 drives the steel wire rope 6 to move backward away from one end of the balloon 3, and with the cooperation of the adjustment channel 201, the steel wire rope 6 pulls the spring tube 5 to bend, so that the balloon 3 can be bent during operation; when the adjusted balloon 3 needs to be reset, the adjusting handle 7 moves toward one end of the balloon 3, the steel wire rope 6 is released through the adjustment channel 201, and the spring tube 5 that loses the tension is automatically reset by elastic force.

[0032] The operation steps of the above-mentioned adjustable dilatation balloon catheter are as follows:

[0033] Inserting the sheath tube 2 together with the guide wire 8 therein into the patient's body through an appropriate surgical channel until the guide wire 8 reaches the target position;

[0034] Under the guidance of the guide wire 8, the sheath tube 2 is pushed forward until the balloon 3 is close to or located at the lesion;

[0035] According to the specific conditions of the vascular structure and the lesion site, the handle 7 is adjusted to control the pulling or release of the steel wire 6, thereby adjusting the direction of the balloon 3 so that it is accurately aligned with the lesion site;

[0036] The guide wire 8 is slowly pulled out, and the sealing silicone piece in the through hole is used to seal the through hole by rotating the rotating seat 102;

[0037] Inject contrast agent into the inner side of the balloon 3 through the injection tube 101 to perform angiography;

[0038] Observe the angiography image to identify the location of the lesion and its relationship with the surrounding blood vessels, and ensure that the balloon 3 is in the correct position;

[0039] Using the punch tube 204 to apply pressure to the inner side of the balloon 3, the balloon 3 is expanded to compress the plaque or stenosis on the blood vessel wall;

[0040] Operate through the discharging member in the discharging unit 4. After the expansion is completed, first release the pressure in the balloon 3 to make it return to its original state;

[0041] Slowly withdraw the sheath 2 while observing the patient's reaction and blood vessel condition.

[0042] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
