Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to a processing device for assisting in preparing a left atrial appendage closure film. Background Art
[0002] The left atrial appendage is a small protruding part of the left atrium, which plays a special role in the cardiac structure. The anatomical structure of the left atrial appendage is very unique, being tubular or sac-like, with many small depressions (called lobules) inside. This structure makes it easy for blood to form vortices or stagnate when flowing through it, especially in the case of irregular heartbeat of the heart. Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia, in which the electrical activity of the atrium becomes very rapid and uncoordinated, resulting in weakened atrial contraction function and decreased pumping function, causing blood to stagnate in the atrium and the left atrial appendage, increasing the risk of thrombus formation. In addition, atrial fibrillation may be accompanied by local or systemic inflammatory reactions, which can activate blood coagulation factors in the blood, increase the viscosity of the blood, and thus promote thrombus formation.
[0003] Given that the left atrial appendage is a high-risk area for thrombus formation, there are many clinical preventive and treatment measures, including anticoagulant therapy and left atrial appendage occlusion. For patients with atrial fibrillation who cannot tolerate long-term anticoagulant drug treatment, a left atrial appendage occluder can be implanted through an interventional operation. A left atrial appendage occluder is a medical device specifically designed to occlude the left atrial appendage, aiming to prevent thrombus from entering the blood circulation from the left atrial appendage and causing stroke. This device usually consists of a metal frame and a film. The left atrial appendage occluder is usually implanted through a minimally invasive catheter-based operation. Under the guidance of X-ray or ultrasound, the device is precisely placed at the entrance of the left atrial appendage. When the device reaches the predetermined position, it unfolds, and the film adheres tightly to the cardiac tissue, and the anchoring mechanism is activated to fix the device.
[0004] With the progress of medical technology, more and more research focuses on improving the design of the left atrial appendage occluder and enhancing the safety and effectiveness of the operation. Preparing a left atrial appendage occluder usually involves highly precise biomedical engineering techniques. Most of the materials are selected as medical-grade materials, such as titanium or polyethylene terephthalate, which have good durability and biocompatibility in the body. The traditional left atrial appendage closure film is formed by shaping textiles. The knitted fabric has high elasticity and ductility and large surface tension, which is a good choice for preparing the left atrial appendage closure film. However, the knitted fabric has a high porosity and large pore size. In order to effectively block thrombus, the pore size needs to be controlled within a certain range. The traditional method for shaping the left atrial appendage closure film is to cover the knitted fabric on the surface of the mold, tie it with a cable tie below the cutting line of the mold, and manually pull the edge of the knitted fabric below the cable tie for adjustment so that there are no wrinkles above the cable tie. However, in this method, the operator cannot control the uniformity of the pulling force, which easily leads to uneven surface tension of the knitted fabric and uneven pore size, so the existing technology has limitations.
