Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, and more specifically, to an extension and dilation guide catheter. Background Art

[0002] It is known that percutaneous intravascular interventional therapy has become the main means of minimally invasive treatment for many diseases in clinical practice; among them, the basic method of intravascular interventional therapy is: first puncture the peripheral blood vessels, and insert a thinner guide wire (usually 0.035 inches) into the blood vessel through the puncture needle, and then insert a sheath (vascular sheath) of about 30 cm in length through the guide wire to establish a passage between the outside of the body and the vascular cavity; then insert a guiding catheter of about 100 cm from the sheath, and extend the guiding catheter through the vascular cavity to the blood vessel (target blood vessel) at the treatment site to establish a passage from the outside of the body to the target blood vessel; finally, insert a balloon, stent, coil or other treatment device through the passage (i.e., into the guiding catheter) to treat the target blood vessel; due to different The diameter of the vascular sheath varies depending on the interventional operation and the selected instrument, and most of them range from 5F to 12F. The outer and inner diameters of the common sheaths are consistent from beginning to end. During the sheath insertion process, in order to facilitate the delivery of the vascular sheath into the blood vessel through a thinner guide wire, an expansion catheter from thick to thin is designed in the puncture sheath to form a vascular sheath set. During the operation, after the sheath is pushed into the blood vessel under the guidance of the expansion tube, the internal expansion tube is withdrawn and the sheath is retained in the blood vessel, and the operation is successfully completed. In order to ensure the successful insertion of the sheath, in addition to the sheath itself, the design of the expansion catheter is also very important. A good sheath set can not only ensure the success of the operation, but also reduce patient pain, local vascular damage and complications at the puncture site.

[0003] Among them, the guiding catheters currently available on the market for various vascular interventional treatments are divided into 4F, 5F, 6F, 7F, 8F, 9F, etc. according to their outer diameters. Their head sections are also designed with different curvatures and shapes according to the target blood vessels to ensure that the catheter can be delivered to blood vessels with different opening origins. Generally, the guiding catheter needs to be delivered to the target blood vessel through a guide wire of about 150 cm in length.

[0004] However, in actual use, there is a problem that the diameter of the guiding catheter pushed through the guiding wire in the blood vessel obviously does not match the outer diameter of the guiding wire. The outer diameter of the guiding catheter is obviously larger than the outer diameter of the guiding wire. There is a lack of a transition link between the head end of the guiding catheter and the guiding wire, such as a "fish mouth shape", and the guiding catheter has a large resistance to entering the blood vessel. When encountering obvious distortion of the blood vessel path, local stenosis or spasm, the guiding catheter cannot be pushed into place. Forced pushing may cause vascular damage, lead to serious vascular complications, and ultimately make the interventional surgery unsuccessful. Therefore, an extended expansion guide catheter is proposed as a further improvement. Utility Model Content

The hollow cavity 4 allows the interior of the dilatation catheter 1 to accommodate a 0.014-inch or 0.035-inch guide wire or guide catheter, thereby facilitating smooth delivery of the auxiliary extension dilatation guide catheter to the target lesion in the body, thereby overcoming the defects and shortcomings of conventional technologies.
