Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical device equipment, and particularly relates to a shaping device for a contrast catheter. Background Art

[0002] The contrast catheter is a key instrument for percutaneous angiography, which is applicable to the interventional diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases. Its main function is to provide a channel for the contrast agent to smoothly enter the blood vessel to produce a contrast effect, display the scope, location and degree of arterial stenotic lesions, and is an important means for clear diagnosis. It should have appropriate hardness, elasticity, flexibility and torsional controllability; it should have good X-ray transparency; good shape memory, smooth tube wall and high contrast performance.

[0003] At present, most of the shaping of the head end of the common contrast catheter is a two-dimensional structure, and the contrast effect is poor. In order to obtain a better contrast effect, a three-dimensional structure contrast catheter needs to be used. In the prior art, the three-dimensional structure shaping of the contrast catheter is mainly realized by steam shaping. However, for some relatively large tube bodies, it takes a long time to use steam shaping, and the consistency is poor.

[0004] The patent with the publication number of "CN206465451U" discloses "a contrast catheter forming machine", which includes a heating mechanism and a cooling mechanism connected to the heating mechanism through a connecting rod; the heating mechanism includes a heating base, a heating pot and a heating circuit. The heating base is hollow and has an opening at the top. A heating plate is provided at the bottom inside the heating base. The heating pot has a heating cavity and an opening at the top. The heating circuit includes a wire connected to the heating plate, a plug provided at the end of the wire, and a switch provided on the outer wall of the heating base for controlling the on-off of the heating circuit; the cooling mechanism includes a cooling base and a cooling pot. The cooling base is hollow and has an opening at the top. The cooling pot has a cooling cavity and an opening at the top. However, the heating pot and the cooling pot of this solution are separately arranged, and the contrast catheter needs to be moved during the forming process, resulting in inconvenient use.

[0016] Preferably, a telescopic rod is arranged on the fixed bottom plate, and one end of the telescopic rod is connected to the movable plate.

[0017] Preferably, the telescopic rod is a cylinder.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0019] 1. Through the arrangement of the arc-shaped first shaping part and the second shaping part, the three-dimensional shaping of the head end of the contrast catheter is realized, greatly improving the working efficiency and also improving the consistency of the product.

[0020] 2. By the form of pushing the movable plate by the cylinder, the contrast catheter can be placed and shaped during extrusion, and the shaped contrast catheter can be taken out when separated, reducing the operation pressure of the staff.
