Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a pulmonary artery multi-stage delivery catheter. Background Art
[0002] Currently, there are no dedicated catheters for pulmonary blood vessels on the market. Clinically, for pulmonary vascular lesion detection or other related surgeries, dedicated catheters for peripheral blood vessels are used. Medical staff select catheters of appropriate sizes from these peripheral catheters based on the patient's condition and repeatedly attempt to insert them into the pulmonary blood vessels. This leads to increased consumables used during surgery and poor catheter matching. This increases surgical time and costs. In addition, traditional catheters do not have a vascular occlusion effect during use. Therefore, after contrast agents are injected into the blood vessels, the contrast agents are prone to reflux. The large amount of contrast agents used will inevitably increase the patient's excretion volume, which will affect the patient's renal function. At the same time, the reflux of contrast agents will interfere with the doctor's surgery and invisibly prolong the exposure time under X-ray. Utility Model Content

[0018] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0019] Example: Figure 1 As shown, the pulmonary artery multi-stage delivery catheter of this embodiment includes an outer sheath 1, an intermediate catheter 2 and a working catheter 3. The outer wall of one end of the outer sheath 1 is provided with a first balloon 11, and the outer sheath 1 is provided with a first airflow lumen 12 passing through the side wall of the other end thereof. One end of the first airflow lumen 12 is communicated with the first balloon 11, the intermediate catheter 2 passes through one end of the outer sheath 1, and the outer wall of one end of the intermediate catheter 2 is provided with a second balloon 21. The intermediate catheter 2 is provided with a second airflow lumen 22 passing through the side wall of the other end thereof, and one end of the second airflow lumen 22 is communicated with the second balloon 21, and the working catheter 3 passes through one end of the intermediate catheter 2.
[0020] The usage process is as follows:
[0021] After the puncture, the guide wire is sent into the pulmonary blood vessel, and the outer sheath tube 1 in the whole device is sent into the large blood vessel along the guide wire. After reaching the target position, the first balloon 11 is inflated through the first air flow channel 12, so that the first balloon 11 expands and squeezes against the inner wall of the large blood vessel, so that the outer sheath tube 1 is better positioned by the first balloon 11. Then, the intermediate catheter 2 is sent into the blood vessel branch along the guide wire. During the sending process, one end of the intermediate catheter 2 passes through one end of the outer sheath tube 1. After one end of the intermediate catheter 2 reaches the target position of the blood vessel branch, the second balloon 21 is inflated through the second air flow channel 22, so that the second balloon 21 expands and squeezes against the inner wall of the blood vessel branch, so that the intermediate catheter 2 is passed through the blood vessel branch. After achieving better positioning through the second balloon 21, the working catheter 3 is then advanced along the guidewire into the tertiary vascular branch until it reaches the lesion site. The working catheter 3 is connected to relevant instruments to perform relevant operations on the lesion site (such as drug administration, blood pressure testing, etc.). The entire process is performed under X-ray exposure. Contrast agent is injected into the blood vessel through the outer sheath 1, intermediate catheter 2, and working catheter 3. Because the first balloon 11 and the second balloon 21 respectively block the blood vessels, the injected contrast agent will not flow back. In other words, the effective use of contrast agent is increased, which directly reduces the amount of contrast agent used, reduces the patient's spontaneous excretion of contrast agent, and significantly reduces damage to renal function. It is particularly emphasized that during the operation, due to the inflation of the first balloon 11 and the second balloon 21, they squeeze and position themselves against the corresponding blood vessel walls, allowing the outer sheath 1 and intermediate catheter 2 to stabilize in the target position after entering the blood vessel. During the detection process, the final operation step only requires controlling the working catheter 3 to move and transport within the blood vessel to perform relevant detection and drug administration.
[0022] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the other end of the outer sheath tube 1 is provided with a first connector 13 with a valve, and the other end of the intermediate catheter 2 passes through the first connector 13 .
[0023] In the above embodiment, by assembling the first connector 13 at the other end of the outer sheath tube 1 , the other end of the outer sheath tube 1 can be conveniently connected to other instruments or pipelines via the first connector 13 .
[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the other end of the intermediate conduit 2 is provided with a second joint 23 with a valve, and the other end of the working conduit 3 passes through the second joint 23 .
[0025] In the above embodiment, by assembling the second connector 23 at the other end of the intermediate conduit 2 , the other end of the intermediate conduit 2 can be easily connected to other instruments or pipelines through the second connector 23 .
[0026] It should be noted that the first connector 13 and the second connector 23 can both be conventional catheter connectors, and the specific models can be flexibly selected according to actual needs. Since the connectors are products of the existing technology, their structure and use will not be described in detail here.
[0027] As a preferred embodiment, one end of the working conduit 3 is provided with an elastic elbow 31 .
[0028] In the above embodiment, since the working catheter 3 is transported and moved in a thinner branch blood vessel, the design of the elastic elbow 31 is conducive to the working catheter 3 to adaptively adjust the angle and orientation along the direction of the branch blood vessel, which is conducive to the smooth transportation of the working catheter 3.
[0029] In this embodiment, the diameter of the outer sheath tube 1 is 8F-10F, and the diameter of the intermediate catheter 2 is 5F-7F.
[0030] As a preferred embodiment, a first air path connector is provided at the other end of the first air flow channel 12 , and a second air path connector is provided at the other end of the second air flow channel 22 .
[0031] In the above embodiment, the other end of the first air flow cavity 12 is connected to the first air path connector adapted thereto, through which it can be well connected to the inflation device. Similarly, the other end of the second air flow cavity 22 is connected to the second air path connector adapted thereto, through which it can be well connected to the inflation device.
[0032] It should be noted that the first gas path connector and the second gas path connector can both be gas medium connectors commonly used in pipelines of medical equipment, which are common in other types of catheters. In actual use, the adapter model can be flexibly and reasonably selected according to needs. Since the connectors are all products of existing technology, their structure and use will not be described in detail here.
