Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a polymer support for a thrombus disruptor. Background Art

[0002] There are various thrombi in human blood vessels due to various reasons, involving the arterial system and the venous system. When drug treatment is difficult to eliminate the thrombi, medical devices are needed to break up and remove the thrombi. At present, a hollow catheter is often used to extend into the thrombus formation site in the blood vessel, and then a suction device is used to absorb the thrombus into the catheter and output it out of the human body. However, since some thrombi take a long time to form and the thrombus is relatively hard, it is difficult for the thrombus suction catheter to suck the thrombus out of the human body. For such harder thrombi, a bowl-shaped thrombus removal guide wire is used to cut the thrombus. In the existing technology, the cutting part often bends, deforms, and other problems when passing through the thrombus, making it impossible for the guide wire to reach the ideal position. The guide wire tip deviates and causes damage to the blood vessel wall. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present application proposes a polymer support for a thrombus disruptor, which provides better flexibility and facilitates the passage of thrombi.

[0004] According to one aspect of the present application, there is provided a polymer support member for a thrombus disruptor, comprising: a polymer member;

[0005] The polymer part is a columnar structure, with claw mounting holes at both axial ends, suitable for passing the cutting claws of the thrombus disruptor, and the side wall of the polymer part is provided with two or more claw grooves along the axial direction, the claw mounting grooves match the cutting claws, and the cutting claws can be retracted inside the claw grooves;

[0006] A groove is formed on the side wall of the polymer part along the circumferential direction, and the groove is annular.

[0012] In a possible implementation, both ends of the polymer part are tapered.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the polymer component includes a first polymer component and a second polymer component;

The side wall of the polymer part is provided with two or more first claw grooves along the axial direction, the first claw mounting grooves match the cutting claws, and the cutting claws can be retracted inside the first claw grooves. The side wall of the first polymer part is provided with a first groove along the circumferential direction, and the first groove is annular.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the polymer support part for the thrombus breaker in the embodiment of the present application includes: a polymer part 1, which is a columnar structure with claw mounting holes at both axial ends, suitable for passing through the cutting claw 2 of the thrombus breaker, and the side wall of the polymer part 1 has more than two claw grooves 14 along the axial direction, the claw mounting groove 13 matches the cutting claw 2, and the cutting claw 2 can be retracted inside the claw groove 14, and the side wall of the polymer part 1 has a groove 13 along the circumferential direction, and the groove 13 is annular.

[0035] In this embodiment, by using a polymer part 1 with a columnar structure, a mounting position is provided for the claws of the thrombus breaker, and it can pass through the thrombus 9 relatively easily. Specifically, the polymer molded part increases the overall toughness, solving the problem that the guidewire cannot pass through the thrombus 9 from the optimal path due to its low rigidity. The two ends of the polymer part 1 are tapered structures, which have less resistance when passing through the harder thrombus 9, solving the problem that the guidewire cannot pass through the harder thrombus 9. The edge of the polymer part 1 is provided with a serrated groove 13, which increases the overall flexibility and bending ability, and can reach farther and more tortuous blood vessel environments, solving the problem of being unable to reach farther and more difficult blood vessels. Long vertical grooves 13 are provided on the polymer molded part, and metal alloy cutting claws 2 are distributed and installed in the grooves 13. Driven by the delivery core wire, the polymer molded part and the metal alloy cutting claws 2 move back and forth to cut the thrombus 9 in all directions, solving the problem that some tricky positions cannot cut the thrombus 9.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, there are multiple claw grooves 14, which are arranged at axial intervals along the polymer part 1. The claw grooves 14 are opened to retract the compressed claws and provide a position for the compressed claws. Metal alloy cutting claws 2 are distributed and installed in the claw grooves 14. The rotation angle arrangement of multiple polymer material molded parts can make the metal alloy claws arranged in a circle. Driven by the conveying core wire, the polymer molded parts and the metal alloy cutting claws 2 move back and forth to cut the thrombus 9 in all directions, solving the problem that the thrombus 9 cannot be cut in some tricky positions.

[0037] In a specific embodiment, the depth of the claw groove 14 is greater than the depth of the groove 13, so that the multiple grooves 13 on the side wall of the polymer part 1 have a serrated structure. The opening of multiple grooves 13 increases the overall toughness, solves the problem that the polymer part 1 has low rigidity and the guide wire cannot pass through the thrombus 9 from the optimal path, reduces the difficulty of the operation, and improves the efficiency of the operation.

[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the plurality of grooves 13 are arranged at equal intervals along the axial direction of the polymer component 1 to ensure that the axial flexibility of the polymer component 1 is the same.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, any two adjacent grooves 13 are spaced at equal angles along the circumferential direction of the polymer component 1 , ensuring that the polymer component 1 has the same flexibility in the circumferential direction.

[0040] In a specific embodiment, the opening direction of the claw groove 14 is perpendicular to the opening direction of the groove 13, and the claw groove 14 separates multiple grooves 13, and the multiple grooves 13 are serrated. The claw groove 14 cooperates with the groove 13 so that the outer side wall of the polymer part 1 has a serrated structure, thereby improving the overall flexibility and bending ability of the polymer part 1, and can reach farther and more tortuous blood vessel environments, solving the problem of being unable to reach farther and more difficult blood vessels.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the multiple serrated grooves 13 increase the power transmission efficiency when the cutting claws 2 are deployed, making the thrombus 9 more efficiently broken, and also enhance the surface friction of the polymer component 1, which helps to maintain a stable position in a complex vascular environment.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, both ends of the polymer part 1 are tapered, which creates less resistance when passing through a harder thrombus 9 , thereby solving the problem that a guidewire or the like cannot pass through a harder thrombus 9 .

[0043] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 The polymer part 1 includes a first polymer part 11 and a second polymer part 12. The first polymer part 11 is a columnar structure with claw mounting holes at both ends in the axial direction, which is suitable for passing through the cutting claw 2 of the thrombus breaker. The side wall of the polymer part 1 is provided with more than two first claw grooves 14 along the axial direction. The first claw groove 13 matches the cutting claw 2. The cutting claw 2 can be retracted inside the first claw groove 14. The side wall of the first polymer part 11 is provided with a first groove 13 along the circumferential direction. The first groove 13 is annular. The second polymer part 12 is a columnar structure with claw mounting holes at both ends in the axial direction, which is suitable for passing through the blood vessel. The cutting claw 2 of the bolt breaker, the side wall of the polymer part 1 has more than two second claw grooves 14 axially opened, the second claw groove 13 matches the cutting claw 2, the cutting claw 2 can be retracted inside the second claw groove 14, and the side wall of the second polymer part 12 has a second groove 13 circumferentially opened, the second groove 13 is annular, and the axial end of the first polymer part 11 is detachably connected to the circumferential end of the second polymer part 12, the opening direction of the first claw groove 14 is parallel to and does not overlap with the opening direction of the second claw groove 14, and the two each have independent claw grooves 14 and circumferential grooves 13.

[0044] In this embodiment, a claw can be placed on each of the first polymer member 11 and the second polymer member 12, so that the detachably connected first polymer member 11 and the second polymer member 12 are connected to form a columnar structure. In this way, the columnar polymer member 1 having the first polymer member 11 and the second polymer member 12 can be equipped with two claws, further improving the thrombus 9 cutting ability of the thrombus disruptor.

[0045] Furthermore, the grooves 13 of the first polymer component 11 and the second polymer component 12 do not overlap in the axial direction, so that the cross-section or coverage area of ​​the two claws in the axial direction of the polymer component 1 is larger, further improving the cutting effect of the thrombus breaker.

[0046] Furthermore, a first connecting portion 111 is provided at one axial end of the first polymer component 11, and a second connecting portion 121 is provided at one axial end of the second polymer component 12. The first connecting portion 111 and the second connecting portion 121 are bolt structures and are assembled through a rotating detachable connection.

[0047] In one embodiment, the end of the first polymer member 11 away from the second polymer member 12 has a tapered structure, and the end of the second polymer member 12 away from the first polymer member 11 has a tapered structure. Similar to a single, integrally formed polymer member 1, both ends have tapered structures, which reduces resistance to passing through a harder thrombus 9.

[0048] In one embodiment, polymer component 1 is a hollow structure with openings at both ends. This hollow structure allows the delivery core wire to pass through, thereby controlling whether the cutting claws 2 are deployed or compressed. This hollow structure reduces overall weight, reduces fatigue during surgery, and improves material utilization and economic benefits. Furthermore, the hollow structure gives polymer component 1 greater flexibility and adaptability, allowing it to better adapt to blood vessels of varying shapes and sizes.

[0049] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The length of the polymer part 1 is greater than the length of the claw in the compressed state. The compressible metal alloy claw is first laser cut longitudinally by a metal tube, and then heat-treated to be shaped into a lantern shape as shown in the figure. It can be stretched into a straight strip in the compressed state. The proximal angle of the claw is relatively gentle, which is more convenient for receiving it in the claw groove 14. The distal angle is larger, so that the area of ​​contact with the thrombus 9 is larger, which is more conducive to cutting the thrombus 9. Among them, the number of metal claw combinations is the same as the number of vertical grooves 13 of the polymer material molding key. The overall number of metal claws is the same as the number of polymer material molding parts combination groups, and a small section of original pipe is left at the proximal and distal ends respectively, which are called proximal claw rings and distal claw rings. The metal claw as a whole is fixed to the delivery core wire by these two claw rings.

[0050] In a specific embodiment, the thrombus breaker is delivered to the location of the thrombus 9 by using a catheter, and the thrombus breaker comes out of the catheter and passes through the thrombus 9 to break it.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, a distal development soft section 5 may be provided at the distal end of the polymer member 1 .

[0052] The embodiments of the present application have been described above. The above description is illustrative and not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is selected to best explain the principles of the embodiments, their practical applications, or improvements to the technology in the market, or to enable other persons skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
