Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular relates to a novel incision knife which is convenient for ERCP intubation. Background Art
[0002] Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is an advanced endoscopic minimally invasive technique that is commonly used for the examination, diagnosis, and treatment of biliary and pancreatic diseases. Successful selective bile duct cannulation is the starting step of all ERCP operations, and it is also the most difficult, most critical, and most prone to complications. The duodenal papilla varies greatly. When intubation is difficult during ERCP, the duodenal papilla is mostly: long nose papilla, flabby papilla, paradiverticular papilla, papilla displacement, and intestinal deformation. Different intubation strategies may be adopted for different papilla morphologies. A good intubation knife is the key to the success of ERCP surgery. The incision knife commonly used in clinical practice is the bow knife, which has a thin and hard head. Direct intubation is likely to create a false passage, which is not conducive to direct deep intubation. Currently, ERCP surgeons use two methods for endoscopic intubation: the first involves slightly inserting the endoscopic blade into the papilla, adjusting its direction by pulling the endoscopic bowel and manipulating the guidewire for deep intubation. The second method involves slightly inserting the endoscopic blade into the papilla, performing an angiography, and then guiding the intubation using fluoroscopic guidance based on the angiography. However, this method is less commonly used due to the risk of pancreatitis. Intubation over a guidewire can improve intubation success rates and reduce pancreatitis complications. However, this method places high demands on the assistant handling the guidewire. Because the endoscopic blade is placed too shallowly into the papilla, the guidewire can easily push the blade out of the papilla. Furthermore, repeated insertion and withdrawal of the guidewire can cause papillary edema, leading to pancreatitis and intubation failure. If the surgeon can advance the endoscopic blade deeper into the biliary tract during intubation, or even achieve successful intubation directly without damaging the biliary mucosa, the success rate of intubation can be greatly improved and the incidence of pancreatitis can be reduced.

[0021] In order to make the above features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, embodiments are given below with reference to the accompanying drawings for detailed description. Example
[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a new type of incision knife that facilitates ERCP intubation, including an operating body 1, a collection sleeve 2, a spring 3, a Teflon ring 4 and a guide wire assembly 5.
[0023] The operating body 1 has three grip rings, and the integrated sleeve 2 is connected to the operating body 1. The integrated sleeve 2 comprises a first sleeve 21 and a flexible sleeve 22. The first sleeve 21 is made of PTFE, while the flexible sleeve 22 is made of rubber, resin, or other materials. The end of the first sleeve 21 is connected to the flexible sleeve 22. The flexible sleeve 22 is made of a material similar to rubber tubing, which makes it highly elastic and flexible, allowing it to better adapt to physiological changes and transmit force to the incision tip through the cavity. This excellent elasticity and flexibility allows the incision tip to have a wider angle of extension and rotation, making it more adaptable to nipple variations.
[0024] The end surface of the flexible sleeve 22 is arc-shaped, which has good cavity compliance and will not cause bile duct wall damage when applied with appropriate force. The first sleeve 21 has a guide wire port 211 and a liquid injection port 212 on its circumference.
[0025] The guide wire assembly 5 includes a guide wire 51, a mounting seat 11, a pull handle 52 and an electric cutting assembly. The guide wire 51 extends from the guide wire port 211 into the first sleeve 21. The guide wire 51 extends from the circumference of the flexible sleeve 22 near the first sleeve 21 and is fixedly connected to the circumference of the flexible sleeve 22 near the end. Under normal conditions, the guide wire 51 is attached to the surface of the flexible sleeve 22. The mounting seat 11 is connected to the circumference of the operating body 1. The mounting seat 11 has a mounting hole. The pull handle 52 is installed in the mounting hole. The other end of the guide wire 51 is fixedly connected to the pull handle 52. Specifically, the outer circumference of the guide wire 51 located outside the first sleeve 21 is covered with a hose. By pulling the pull handle 52, the flexible sleeve 22 is bent to form a bow-shaped knife.
[0026] The electric cutting assembly is used to power the guide wire 51. The electric cutting assembly includes a conductive wire, which is located in the first sleeve 21 and extends to the guide wire port 211 to be electrically connected to the guide wire 51. The operating body 1 has an electrical connector 12 on its periphery, which is electrically connected to the conductive wire. The electric cutting assembly and the guide wire 51 are the high-frequency electric knife in the prior art, which is an electrosurgical instrument that replaces a mechanical scalpel for tissue cutting. It heats the tissue when the high-frequency high-voltage current generated by the effective electrode tip contacts the body, achieving separation and coagulation of the body tissue, thereby achieving the purpose of cutting and stopping bleeding.
[0027] A transverse groove extending along the axial direction of the flexible sleeve 22 is formed in the flexible sleeve 22, and an inlet is provided between the bottom of the transverse groove and the flexible sleeve 22. The shrapnel 3 extends from the inlet into the transverse groove for fixation. Specifically, an annular groove is formed on the peripheral surface of the flexible sleeve 22, and the inlet is located in the annular groove. An inclined notch is formed on the peripheral surface of the Teflon ring 4, and the Teflon ring 4 is sleeved in the annular groove. When the surgical site has fewer bends, the shrapnel 3 can also be filled in the transverse groove of the flexible sleeve 22 to give it a certain hardness, so that it can better adapt to the needs of the current environment. The setting of the Teflon ring can ensure that the shrapnel 3 will not slip out from the inlet of the annular groove during operation.
[0028] In this embodiment, the commonly used PTFE collective cannula 2 is modified into a combination of a first cannula 21 (PTFE) and a flexible cannula 22 (rubber). The end surface of the flexible cannula 22 is arc-shaped. During operation, only moderate force is required to advance along the cavity without damaging the luminal mucosa. The flexible cannula 22 also reduces the risk of false passages. Compared with a rigid blade, the flexible cannula 22 reduces the risk of false passages. The probability of deep intubation is increased, and combined with the guidewire 51 for intubation, false passages caused by force can be reduced.
[0029] In this embodiment, after the handle 52 is pulled, the flexible sleeve 22 bends to form a knife bow. Since the operating body 1, the collection sleeve 2 and the guide wire 51 are fixedly connected together, during the operation, the operating body 1 can be rotated to achieve the function of rotating the knife bow direction, thereby increasing the success rate of nipple selective intubation and facilitating superselection of the intrahepatic bile duct. Example
[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that a movable knife assembly 6 is provided in the collecting sleeve 2.
[0031] The movable knife assembly 6 includes a plurality of connecting joints 61, a needle knife 62, a connecting line 63, a spring 616 and a driving body, and the plurality of connecting joints 61 are connected in sequence; the connecting joint 61 includes an upper cylinder 611 and a lower cylinder 612, the upper cylinder 611 is connected to the upper surface of the lower cylinder 612, the diameter of the upper cylinder 611 is smaller than the diameter of the lower cylinder 612, a chamber 613 is formed in the connecting joint 61, the lower opening diameter of the chamber 613 is larger than the diameter of the upper cylinder 611, a rotating shaft 615 is formed on both sides of the circumference of the upper cylinder 611 near the upper end, a sliding path 614 is formed on both sides of the chamber 613, the rotating shaft 615 is located in the sliding path 614 and is slidably connected, the rotating shaft 615 can rotate in the sliding path 614, the upper surface of the chamber 613 has a through hole, and a spring 616 is provided between adjacent connecting joints 61. 16. The spring 616 is located in the chamber 613. One end of the spring 616 is pressed against the surface of the chamber 613 of one of its connecting nodes 61, and the other end of the spring 616 is pressed against the upper surface of the other connecting node 61. The needle knife 62 is fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the uppermost connecting node 61. The needle knife 62 is electrically connected to the heating wire through the conductive wire passing through each connecting node 61. A gap is formed on the upper surface of the flexible sleeve 22. The needle knife 62 extends or retracts from the gap. One end of the connecting wire is fixedly connected to the uppermost connecting node 61 and passes through the through holes of multiple connecting nodes 61 in sequence and is fixedly connected to the output end of the driving body. The driving body is a driving motor. A winding wheel is provided at the output end of the driving motor. The connecting wire is connected to the winding wheel. The lower surface of the connecting node 61 at the bottom is pressed against the surface of the operating body 1.
[0032] When the movable knife assembly 6 is not in use, the drive motor rotates, the winding wheel winds the wire, and the multiple connecting sections 61 move and retract under the pull of the connecting line until the needle knife 62 retracts into the first sleeve 21. Due to the existence of the rotating shaft 615 and the sliding path 614, the retraction and sliding of adjacent connecting sections 61 will not be misaligned. When the movable knife assembly 6 is in use, the drive motor rotates, the winding wheel unwinds the wire, and the springs 616 between adjacent connecting sections 61 are reset, and the distance between the connecting sections 61 is pushed open, from to making the distance between adjacent connecting sections 61 longer. When the distance between each group of adjacent connecting sections 61 reaches the maximum, the needle knife 62 extends from the gap of the flexible sleeve 22. By setting the needle knife 62 and the bow knife together, the new incision knife of this solution can adapt to more different surgical situations and can cope with various different scenarios. Moreover, when the needle knife 62 is not in use, it will extend into the harder first sleeve 21 of the knife, which will not affect the advancement and use of the knife flexible sleeve 22.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions only illustrate the principles of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, the utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements will fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected.
