Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to a puncture synchronous dilator. Background Art

[0002] Traditional surgical methods for hepatobiliary stones, such as liver resection and choledochojejunostomy, are not only highly invasive and require strict physical conditions for high-risk patients, but are also prone to recurrence after surgery. Furthermore, abdominal adhesions during further surgery increase the difficulty and risk of surgery. Therefore, exploring safer and more effective treatments is crucial.

[0003] Percutaneous transhepatic biliary lithotripsy (PTCSL) is a minimally invasive procedure that effectively removes bile duct stones by puncturing the intrahepatic bile duct externally to establish an operative channel. Using a choledochoscope and various lithotripsy techniques, it significantly reduces surgical trauma and the risk of postoperative recurrence. However, current PTCSL procedures, particularly the key steps of bile duct puncture and dilation, remain deficient.

[0004] Specifically, after bile duct puncture and guidewire insertion in traditional one-step or two-step PTCSL surgery, the bile duct needs to be gradually expanded to the desired size by replacing dilators of different sizes multiple times. This process is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but frequent replacement of dilators can easily cause the guidewire to fall off, increasing the risk of surgical failure.

[0039] In the related art, bile duct puncture usually requires dilators of different sizes to expand to the required size. When replacing dilators of different sizes, the guide wire is likely to fall off, increasing the risk of surgical failure. In order to solve this problem, the present application sets outer dilator tubes 200 of different sizes on the outer surface of the inner dilator tube 100, and the outer dilator tube 200 can move axially compared to the inner dilator tube 100. The inner dilator tube 100 is first inserted into a preset position through the guide wire, and then the outer dilator tubes 200 of different diameters are moved in turn to expand the surrounding skin and tissue to form a channel for removing bile duct stones, thereby expanding the channel to the required size.

[0040] The present application provides a puncture synchronous dilator, including an inner dilator 100, several outer dilator tubes 200, a tearable sheath 300 and a Y-valve 400. The inner dilator 100 has an inlet end and an outlet end. Several outer dilator tubes 200 are sequentially arranged on the outer surface of the inner dilator 100. The tearable sheath 300 is arranged on the outer surface of the outermost layer of the outer dilator tube 200. The Y-valve 400 is detachably installed on the inlet end.

[0041] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the inner expansion tube 100 reaches the predetermined position, the outer expansion tube 200 with a gradually increasing diameter can be moved in sequence to gradually expand the skin and tissue around the puncture point. The detailed process can be referred to Figure 6 As shown, a channel for stone removal is formed, and finally the tearable sheath 300 also moves to achieve expansion around the puncture point, and after the tearable sheath 300 completes expansion, the inner expansion tube 100 and several outer expansion tubes 200 with gradually increasing diameters can be taken out in turn, and finally a surgical channel is established through the tearable sheath 300, that is, a stone removal channel is established, and then the corresponding stone removal instrument can be used to perform stone removal operations through the channel, and finally a drainage tube is inserted through the tearable sheath 300, and the drainage tube is connected to the drainage bag, and drainage operations are performed through the drainage tube, and then the tearable sheath 300 is torn and taken out to complete the operation.

[0042] In the above operation, it is impossible to directly verify whether the inner expansion tube 100 has reached the position. Therefore, after the inner expansion tube 100 is placed along the guide wire, the inner expansion tube 100 can be connected to the Y-valve 400, and liquid can be extracted through the Y-valve 400 to determine whether the inner expansion tube 100 has entered the bile duct.

[0043] Continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the inner expansion tube 100 is cylindrical and hollow, and the outlet end is tapered.

[0044] The inner expansion tube 100 is in the shape of a circular tube. The hollow structure of the inner expansion tube 100 cooperates with the Y-valve 400 to extract liquid to determine whether the inner expansion tube 100 has reached the preset position; the outlet end of the inner expansion tube 100 is conical, which can better enter the preset position and reduce the resistance encountered.

[0045] Gaps are defined between the outer expansion tube 200 and the inner expansion tube 100 , between adjacent outer expansion tubes 200 , and between the outermost outer expansion tube 200 and the tearable sheath 300 .

[0046] When the outer expansion tube 200 and the tearable sheath 300 move along the axial direction of the inner expansion tube 100, in order to make the outer expansion tube 200 and the tearable sheath 300 move more smoothly, that is, when moving, there is no friction or very little friction between the inner expansion tube 100 and the innermost outer expansion tube 200, between adjacent outer expansion tubes 200, and between the outermost outer expansion tube 200 and the tearable sheath 300, so that a gap is formed between the inner expansion tube 100 and the innermost outer expansion tube 200, and gaps should also be formed between adjacent outer expansion tubes 200. Furthermore, in order to facilitate the movement of the tearable sheath 300, a gap is also formed between the outermost outer expansion tube 200 and the tearable sheath 300. It should be noted here that the gap mentioned here can be understood as the gap fit between the inner expansion tube 100 and the innermost outer expansion tube 200, the gap fit between two adjacent outer expansion tubes 200, and the gap fit between the outermost outer expansion tube 200 and the tearable sheath 300.

[0047] A first connecting structure 500 is provided between the inner expansion tube 100 and the Y-valve 400. The inner expansion tube 100 and the Y-valve 400 are detachably connected through the first connecting structure 500. The first connecting structure 500 includes a first thread 510 provided at the end of the inner expansion tube 100 near the direction of the Y-valve 400. The Y-valve 400 is provided with a second thread 520 adapted to the first thread 510 near the end of the inner expansion tube 100.

[0048] See Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in order to achieve quick connection and disassembly between the inner expansion tube 100 and the Y-valve 400, a first thread 510 is provided at the end of the inner expansion tube 100, and a second thread 520 is provided on the Y-valve 400, that is, the inner expansion tube 100 and the Y-valve 400 are threadedly connected by the first thread 510 and the second thread 520 to achieve quick disassembly.

[0049] For example, the first thread 510 can be an internal thread or an external thread, and the second thread 520 can also be an internal thread or an external thread. Specifically, when the first thread 510 is an internal thread, the second thread 520 is an external thread, and when the first thread 510 is an external thread, the second thread 520 is an internal thread.

[0050] The inner expansion tube 100 includes a first tube body 110 and a second tube body 120 , and the first tube body 110 and the second tube body 120 are detachably connected.

[0051] A second connecting structure 600 is provided between the first tube body 110 and the second tube body 120, and the first tube body 110 and the second tube body 120 are detachably connected through the second connecting structure 600. The second connecting structure 600 includes a third thread 610 opened at the end of the first tube body 110 close to the second tube body 120, and a fourth thread 620 adapted to the third thread 610 is opened at the end of the second tube body 120 close to the first tube body 110.

[0052] See Figure 3 As shown, the puncture depths of different individuals are different. In order to meet the needs of different individuals, the inner expansion tube 100 is divided into two, that is, the inner expansion tube 100 is divided into a first tube body 110 and a second tube body 120, and the first tube body 110 and the second tube body 120 can be disassembled and connected. Specifically, a third thread 610 is provided at the end of the first tube body 110, and a fourth thread 620 is provided at the end of the second tube body 120, that is, the third thread 610 and the fourth thread 620 are threadedly connected to realize the rapid disassembly and assembly of the first tube body 110 and the second tube body 120.

[0053] Continue reading Figure 3 As shown, the first thread 510 is provided at the end of the second tube body 120 away from the first tube body 110 .

[0054] In this embodiment, the third thread 610 and the fourth thread 620 can both be internal threads or external threads. Specifically, if the third thread 610 is an external thread, the fourth thread 620 is an internal thread; or, if the third thread 610 is an internal thread, the fourth thread 620 is an external thread.

[0055] The tearable sheath 300 includes a tear tube 310 , a handle portion 330 is provided at the end of the tear tube 310 , and a tear groove 320 is axially opened on the outer surface of the tear tube 310 .

[0056] See Figure 4As shown, in order to facilitate the rapid removal of the tearable sheath 300 from the puncture point, according to the characteristics of the tearable sheath 300 itself, when removing it, it is only necessary to use the fingers of both hands to clamp the two hand-held parts 330 and separate them from each other. As the tearing force acting on the hand-held parts 330 increases, the tear tube 310 is torn at the position of the tear groove 320, and the tear tube 310 can be removed from the puncture point while being torn.

[0057] In order to visually see the depth of the tear tube 310 , a scale (not shown) is provided on the tear tube 310 . Specifically, the scale can be provided on the inner wall of the tear tube 310 , and the tear tube 310 can be made of a transparent material.

[0058] The Y-valve 400 includes a main pipe 410 that is detachably connected to the inner expansion tube 100, and a secondary pipe 420 is obliquely arranged on the outer surface of the main pipe 410. A first connecting cavity 430 is opened in the axial direction inside the main pipe 410, and a second connecting cavity 440 is opened in the axial direction inside the secondary pipe 420. The first connecting cavity 430 is connected to the second connecting cavity 440.

[0059] See Figure 5 As shown, the first connecting cavity 430 is for the guide wire to pass through. In order to facilitate the extraction of liquid to determine whether the inner expansion tube 100 has reached the preset position, the liquid can be extracted through the second connecting cavity 440 by means of a syringe or other components.

[0060] In this embodiment, the second thread 520 is disposed at the end of the main tube 410 close to the second tube body 120 .
