Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of urinary catheter instruments, in particular to a urinary catheter dredging device. Background Art

[0002] Indwelling catheterization is a common treatment procedure in urology. However, it is very easy for the drainage hole of the catheter to be blocked after urethral, ​​prostate, and bladder surgery, as well as for long-term indwelling catheterization. The blockage is usually a blood clot or flocs formed by tissue fragments and bladder secretions. The main treatment method is suction and flushing of the catheter. However, such a treatment method is difficult to operate for current ordinary catheters. On the one hand, the catheter lacks rigid structural support, and the tube body collapses during suction and cannot be suctioned; on the other hand, the connection port between the catheter and the urine collection bag does not match the syringe, which is extremely difficult to operate during flushing. If the catheter is replaced directly, it will be extremely difficult for the patient, and there is a risk that the catheter cannot be reinserted, causing the patient to suffer from acute urinary retention. Therefore, it is necessary to invent a device specifically for cleaning catheters. Utility Model Content

[0022] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0023] According to the urinary catheter 3 unclogging device of the embodiment of the present invention, the urinary catheter 3 unclogging device includes a unclogging catheter 1 and a connector 2. The outer surface of the unclogging catheter 1 is provided with a scale along the extension direction of the unclogging catheter 1. The first end of the unclogging catheter 1 has a tapered portion 11 for entering the urinary catheter 3. The first end of the unclogging catheter 1 is provided with a flushing hole 12. The second end of the unclogging catheter 1 has a connecting portion 13 for matching with a syringe. The connector 2 includes a penetration section 21, a transparent section 22 and a tapered section 23 connected in sequence. A catheter channel is provided in the center of the penetration section 21, the transparent section 22 and the tapered section 23 to connect the penetration section 21, the transparent section 22 and the tapered section 23. The catheter channel is used for the unclogging catheter 1 to pass through. The dredging catheter 1 is made of high-toughness plastic material, and the scale on the surface makes it easy to estimate the length of the urinary catheter. The dredging catheter 1 and connector 2 are used together, which makes it easy to move the dredging catheter 1 relative to the connector 2. Normal saline is injected into the urinary catheter through the dredging catheter 1 to flush and clean the blockage. After flushing, aspiration is performed. If the aspiration is normal, the dredging is successful. If it is not smooth, flushing can be repeated. Pay attention to the bladder capacity to avoid flushing too much liquid. Aspiration can also be performed. If the blockage is fragile or soft, it can be directly aspirated into the syringe. If the syringe aspiration resistance is too large, it indicates that the blockage has been aspirated into the drainage port of the dredging catheter 1. The syringe can be kept in a negative pressure state and the dredging catheter 1 can be withdrawn (keeping the connector 2 connected to the urinary catheter). The tip of the dredging catheter 1 can be observed through the transparent part of the connector 2 to see if there is any blockage. At this time, the connector 2 can be pulled out, the dredging catheter 1 can be cleaned, and then reconnected. Aspiration or flushing is repeated until the bladder is unobstructed. The bladder should be palpated before the operation. If there is little urine in the bladder, flushing is recommended first. After the bladder is full, an attempt can be made to aspirate the blockage in the bladder.

[0024] The urinary catheter 3 unclogging device according to the embodiment of the utility model has the advantages of being convenient for unclogging the urinary catheter and being easy to use.

[0025] In some embodiments, the diameter of the tapered section 23 gradually increases from the tapered section 23 toward the penetrating section 21 to the same as the diameter of the transparent section 22 .

[0026] Specifically, the gradually increasing diameter of the tapered section 23 allows for a smooth transition from the tapered section 23 to the transparent section 22, which helps provide uniform pressure when the connector 2 is connected to the catheter 3, reducing damage to the catheter 3. This improves the stability and sealing of the connection, while also protecting the integrity of the catheter 3.

[0027] In some embodiments, a first rubber stopper is provided in the penetration section 21 , a through hole is provided in the first rubber stopper, and the through hole constitutes a part of the catheter channel.

[0028] Specifically, the presence of the rubber stopper can prevent liquid leakage between the urinary catheter 3 and the connector 2, while the through hole ensures the continuity of the catheter channel, thereby enhancing the sealing performance of the device, preventing leakage of the flushing liquid, and maintaining clean operation.

[0029] In some embodiments, the diameter of the through hole is smaller than the diameter of the dredging catheter 1 to improve the airtightness between the dredging catheter 1 and the first rubber stopper.

[0030] Specifically, the diameter of the through hole is slightly smaller than the diameter of the dredging catheter 1. The elasticity of the first rubber stopper increases the static friction between the dredging catheter 1 and the first rubber stopper, thereby improving the sealing effect, reducing the possibility of leakage during operation, and ensuring smooth flushing or suction operations.

[0031] In some embodiments, the length of the first rubber stopper is the same as the length of the penetration section 21 .

[0032] Specifically, the length of the first rubber stopper is equal to the length of the penetration section 21, ensuring that the rubber stopper can completely fill the penetration section 21, avoiding gaps and leakage caused by length mismatch. The first rubber stopper fills the interior of the penetration section 21, further enhancing the sealing and reducing the risk of liquid leakage.

[0033] In some embodiments, a plurality of annular protrusions are provided on the surface of the tapered section 23 , and the annular protrusions are used to increase the contact area between the tapered section 23 and the urinary catheter 3 .

[0034] Specifically, the annular protrusion can better adapt to the inner diameter of the catheter 3 and provide a stable connection. Multiple annular protrusions can meet the connection requirements of catheters 3 of different specifications. The annular protrusion increases the firmness of the connection and prevents relative slippage between the catheter 3 and the connector 2.

[0035] In some embodiments, the conical portion 11 is made of rigid plastic, and four flushing holes 12 are provided on the conical portion 11 .

[0036] Specifically, the rigid plastic ensures the shape of the tapered portion 11 is stable, while the flushing holes 12 help evenly distribute the flushing liquid, improving flushing efficiency and ensuring that blockages are effectively removed. The rigid, unbendable plastic prevents the tapered portion 11 from passing through the drainage hole after entering the urinary catheter and potentially damaging the bladder. The tapered shape facilitates urinary catheter entry.

[0037] In some embodiments, the length of the tapered portion 11 is greater than or equal to 3 cm.

[0038] Specifically, the longer tapered portion 11 can better guide the dredging catheter 1 into the urinary catheter 3, reducing the difficulty of the operation and improving the accuracy and safety of the operation.

[0039] In some embodiments, the diameter of the unblocking catheter 1 is smaller than the inner diameter of the urinary catheter, and the surface of the unblocking catheter 1 is coated with a water-based lubricant.

[0040] Specifically, the diameter of the dredging catheter 1 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the urinary catheter, ensuring that the dredging catheter 1 can smoothly enter the urinary catheter 3. At the same time, the water-based lubricant reduces friction and protects the inner wall of the urinary catheter 3, thereby reducing the patient's discomfort and the risk of damage to the urinary catheter 3.

[0041] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 13 is a second rubber stopper, and the opening of the second rubber stopper is used to connect with the syringe.

[0042] Specifically, the tail end of the connecting portion 13 is tapered and expanded, and a rubber stopper is provided to facilitate connection to various syringes. Its structure is similar to the water inlet of a conventional dual-lumen urinary catheter 3. The opening of the second rubber stopper facilitates connection to the syringe while maintaining a good seal. This simplifies the operation steps and improves the convenience of flushing and aspiration operations.
