AI Technical Summary
Existing peritoneal dialysis catheters have problems such as the intra-abdominal section easily floating, the large end opening easily displaced in reverse, the tungsten tube nesting site corroded and loose, and foreign body irritation, which lead to catheter instability and tissue irritation.
Titanium alloy inserts or titanium alloy coatings are used to increase the weight of the inner wall of the catheter body, and a closed bullet protruding outward is designed at the end of the intra-abdominal segment. Combined with a polyester sleeve, it achieves self-positioning and avoids contact with tissues.
The self-positioning of the catheter is achieved, which avoids catheter floating and foreign body stimulation, improves stability and safety, and reduces the risk of tissue contact.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a titanium alloy self-positioning peritoneal dialysis catheter. Background Art
[0002] Peritoneal dialysis catheters are an important medical device used in peritoneal dialysis treatment. Peritoneal dialysis is an effective renal replacement therapy for end-stage renal disease, and peritoneal dialysis catheters are the "lifeline" of peritoneal dialysis patients. Currently, the disadvantages of existing peritoneal dialysis catheters are: (1) the intra-abdominal section is relatively light and will float when left in the peritoneal cavity and immersed in peritoneal dialysis fluid; (2) the distal opening is relatively large, and gravity or fluid impact may cause reverse displacement.
[0003] In response to the above problems, existing literature reports on self-positioning peritoneal dialysis catheters, which use a 12-gram tungsten tube embedded in the end of the intra-abdominal section of the peritoneal dialysis catheter (the tungsten tube is on the outer surface of the catheter). Its disadvantages are: (1) The embedded part will corrode and loosen if it is left in the abdominal cavity for a long time and soaked in peritoneal dialysis fluid; (2) When peritoneal dialysis fluid is infused, the impact force of the fluid on the embedded part will cause loosening; (3) The weight of the tungsten tube itself in the standing position will cause loosening; (4) The foreign body in the tungsten tube will stimulate the migration and wrapping of the omentum, and fibrin will adhere; (5) The contact of the tungsten tube with foreign bodies will stimulate the rectum, bladder, and uterus, and the metal tungsten will be released.
[0004] In addition, an existing patent (Anti-wrap Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter, Application No.: 2020223938012) discloses an anti-wrap peritoneal dialysis catheter, comprising a catheter and two collars located on the outer wall of the middle portion of the catheter, including a cross-shaped drainage tube at the end of the catheter, and a side hole on the catheter connected to the cross-shaped drainage tube. Its disadvantages are: (1) the intra-abdominal section of the catheter is still relatively light, and the problem of tube drift still exists; (2) the cross is at the end of the catheter, and the omentum may still be adsorbed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention discloses a titanium alloy self-positioning peritoneal dialysis catheter.
[0006] The specific plan is as follows:
[0007] A titanium alloy self-positioning peritoneal dialysis catheter, characterized in that it includes a catheter body, the end of the intra-abdominal section of the catheter body is a closed bullet protruding outward, the side of the closed bullet is provided with an opening connected to the inner cavity of the catheter body, and a titanium alloy insert is provided in the end of the intra-abdominal section of the catheter body.
[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, the titanium alloy insert is a titanium alloy cylinder that fits tightly against the inner wall of the catheter body.
[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, the titanium alloy insert is a titanium alloy coating that fits tightly against the inner wall of the catheter body.
[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the closed bullet is used to prevent the guidewire from exceeding the end of the intra-abdominal section of the catheter body. It is made of the same material as the catheter body and has a smooth arc surface on the outside.
[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the catheter body is outer-coated with two polyester sleeves.
[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0013] (1) By providing a titanium alloy tube or titanium alloy coating at the end of the intra-abdominal section of the catheter body, its weight can be increased, thereby achieving self-positioning under the action of gravity;
[0014] (2) The titanium alloy tube or titanium alloy coating is on the inner wall of the catheter body and does not come into contact with adjacent organs, thus ensuring the safety of tissues and organs;
[0015] (3) There is no risk of the titanium alloy tube or titanium alloy coating falling off, and the titanium alloy material is inert and will not decompose or cause allergies, and it can also ensure safety in electromagnetic environments;
[0016] (4) The end of the intra-abdominal segment adopts a closed bullet that protrudes outward. It is closed and rounded, so that the guide wire does not extend beyond the end and can contact the surrounding tissues without discomfort. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0022] As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a titanium alloy self-positioning peritoneal dialysis catheter, comprising a catheter body 1. The intra-abdominal end of the catheter body 1 is terminated by a protruding, enclosed bullet 2. An opening 3 is provided on the side of the enclosed bullet 2, communicating with the inner lumen of the catheter body 1. A titanium alloy insert 4 is provided within the distal end of the intra-abdominal end of the catheter body 1. By providing a titanium alloy tube or titanium alloy coating within the distal end of the intra-abdominal end of the catheter body 1, the catheter body 1 is weighted, thereby achieving self-positioning under the action of gravity.
[0023] In this embodiment, the insert is a titanium alloy tube that fits snugly against the inner wall of the catheter body 1. The coating is a titanium alloy coating that conforms snugly to the inner wall of the catheter body 1. The titanium alloy tube or coating is located on the inner wall of the catheter body 1, avoiding contact with adjacent organs, thereby ensuring the safety of tissues and organs. Furthermore, the titanium alloy tube or coating poses no risk of dislodging. Furthermore, the titanium alloy material is inert and does not decompose or cause allergies, ensuring safety even in electromagnetic environments.
[0024] In this embodiment, the closed bullet 2 is used to prevent the guidewire from extending beyond the distal end of the intra-abdominal segment of the catheter body 1. It is made of the same material as the catheter body 1 and has a smooth, arc-shaped outer surface. This prevents the guidewire from extending beyond the distal end and allows it to contact surrounding tissue without discomfort.
[0025] In this embodiment, the catheter body 1 is covered with two polyester sleeves.
[0026] The technical means disclosed in the solutions of the present invention are not limited to those disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above-mentioned technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art may make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
