Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a biliary stent. Background Art

[0002] The middle and lower segments of the common bile duct are tapered and gradually decrease in diameter from the duodenal papilla to the duodenal papilla. Benign biliary strictures are also common in the middle and lower segments of the common bile duct. Clinically, one or more plastic biliary stents are often placed in the bile duct to treat benign biliary strictures. For refractory benign biliary strictures, fully covered metal biliary stents are used. After being placed in the common bile duct, the upper end of the stent receives bile and the lower end connects to the duodenal papilla.

[0003] However, since plastic biliary stents or fully covered biliary metal stents have uniform diameters and no support points between them and the physiological structure of the bile duct, they are prone to displacement or slippage. Especially for patients with anastomotic stenosis after liver transplantation, the displacement rate of biliary stents is even higher. When biliary stents are used to treat stenosis in the middle and lower segments, displacement is more likely to occur, thus affecting the normal use of the stent. In view of this, a biliary stent is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art and to provide a biliary stent that can solve the problem that plastic biliary stents or fully covered biliary metal stents are stents with uniform diameters and have no support points between them and the physiological structure of the bile duct, making them prone to displacement or slippage. In particular, for patients with anastomotic stenosis after liver transplantation, the displacement rate of the biliary stent is higher. When the biliary stent is used to treat stenosis in the middle and lower segments, it is more likely to be displaced, thereby affecting the normal use of the stent.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a biliary stent, comprising a stent tube, both ends of the stent tube are open, and the upper end is a hemispherical surface;

[0006] The lower end of the bracket pipe is bent into a pigtail-shaped anti-slip structure;

[0007] The bracket pipe is integrally formed and the pigtail-shaped anti-slip structure has a certain plasticity;

[0008] Drainage holes are provided on the surface of the stent tube and the pigtail-shaped anti-detachment structure.

[0009] The upper end of the support pipe is provided with a side wing support mechanism for fixing the support pipe and preventing it from sliding.

[0010] Preferably, the wing support mechanism comprises an outer support tube integrally formed with the stent pipe, and both ends of the outer support tube are tapered surfaces;

[0011] Four supporting side wings are integrally formed on the outer supporting tube, and the supporting side wings are arranged on the outer supporting tube in a cross-shaped array.

[0012] Preferably, the supporting flanks are arranged in an arc shape.

[0013] Preferably, an anti-backflow installation groove is integrally formed on the inner wall of the support pipe, and a supporting ring is fixedly installed inside the anti-backflow installation groove;

[0014] The interior of the support ring is fixedly connected with an anti-backflow guide membrane, and the interior of the support ring is fixedly installed with an anti-backflow blocking grid;

[0015] A cross-shaped diversion groove is provided on the anti-backflow diversion film.

[0016] Preferably, a rubber gasket is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the support ring.

[0017] Preferably, the anti-backflow guide film and the anti-backflow blocking grid are in contact with each other.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0019] (1) The biliary stent has two ends of the outer support tube set to a conical shape, thereby forming a stepped barrier between the stent tube and the stent tube, so that the stent tube can be placed into the intestine more smoothly. At the same time, the arc-shaped support side wings prevent the stent tube from being blocked during placement, thereby reducing damage to the patient's intestinal wall and improving the comfort of the stent during placement. Therefore, under the elastic function of the support side wings, when the stent tube is placed into the intestine, the support side wings contact the intestinal wall, thereby forming a fixing effect. The pigtail-shaped anti-slip structure can make the stent more secure after placement.

[0020] (2) When the biliary stent needs to have an anti-backflow function, the support ring can be inserted into the interior of the stent pipe. At this time, due to the elastic performance of the rubber gasket, the support ring can be firmly restricted at the location of the anti-backflow installation groove. Therefore, when the drainage liquid passes through the stent pipe, the drainage liquid passes through the anti-backflow blocking grid and the potential energy of the liquid flow causes the diversion groove on the anti-backflow diversion membrane to open, thereby allowing the liquid to flow normally. Since one side of the anti-backflow diversion membrane is in contact with the anti-backflow blocking grid, the diversion groove can only be opened to one side and cannot be opened to the other side. Therefore, the backflow phenomenon of the drainage liquid can be effectively avoided, thereby improving the functionality of the stent pipe. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model provides a technical solution: a biliary stent, comprising a stent tube 1, both ends of the stent tube 1 are open, and the upper end is a hemispherical surface 6;

[0033] The lower end of the support pipe 1 is bent into a pigtail-shaped anti-slip structure 2;

[0034] The support pipe 1 is integrally formed and the pigtail-shaped anti-slip structure 2 has a certain plasticity;

[0035] Drainage holes 3 are provided on the surface of the stent tube 1 and the pigtail-shaped anti-detachment structure 2;

[0036] The upper end of the support pipe 1 is provided with a side wing support mechanism for fixing the support pipe 1 and preventing it from sliding;

[0037] By setting up the pigtail-shaped anti-slip structure 2 and the side support mechanism, when the stent tube 1 is placed in the body, the stent tube 1 can be firmly placed in the intestine with the support of the side support mechanism and the pigtail-shaped anti-slip structure 2, thereby ensuring normal support for the intestine and drainage of bile, thereby improving the stability and firmness of the biliary stent after placement.

[0038] Furthermore, the wing support mechanism includes an outer support tube 4 integrally formed with the support pipe 1, and both ends of the outer support tube 4 are tapered surfaces;

[0039] Four supporting wings 5 ​​are integrally formed on the outer supporting tube 4, and the supporting wings 5 ​​are arranged on the outer supporting tube 4 in a cross-shaped array;

[0040] The supporting wing 5 is arranged in an arc shape and has elasticity.

[0041] By setting the two ends of the outer support tube 4 to a tapered shape, a stepped barrier is formed between it and the stent tube 1, so that the stent tube 1 can be placed into the intestine more smoothly. At the same time, the arc-shaped support side wings 5 ​​prevent the stent tube 1 from being blocked during placement, thereby reducing damage to the patient's intestinal wall and improving the comfort of the stent during placement. Therefore, under the elastic function of the support side wings 5, when the stent tube 1 is placed into the intestine, the support side wings 5 ​​contact the inner wall of the intestine, thereby forming a fixing effect, thereby supporting the intestine, and the drainage hole 3 can drain the bile, thereby ensuring the normal discharge of bile.

[0042] Furthermore, an anti-backflow installation groove 7 is integrally formed on the inner wall of the support pipe 1, and a supporting ring 8 is fixedly installed inside the anti-backflow installation groove 7;

[0043] The interior of the support ring 8 is fixedly connected with an anti-backflow guide membrane 11, and the interior of the support ring 8 is fixedly installed with an anti-backflow blocking grid 12;

[0044] The anti-backflow guide film 11 and the anti-backflow blocking grid 12 are attached to each other;

[0045] A cross-shaped guide groove 10 is provided on the anti-backflow guide membrane 11;

[0046] A rubber gasket 9 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the support ring 8;

[0047] When the support pipe 1 needs to have an anti-backflow function, the support ring 8 can be inserted into the interior of the support pipe 1. At this time, due to the elastic performance of the rubber gasket 9, the support ring 8 can be firmly restricted to the position of the anti-backflow mounting groove 7. Therefore, when the drainage liquid passes through the support pipe 1, the drainage liquid passes through the anti-backflow blocking grid 12 and the potential energy of the liquid flow causes the guide groove 10 provided on the anti-backflow guide film 11 to open, thereby allowing the liquid to flow normally. Since one side of the anti-backflow guide film 11 is in contact with the anti-backflow blocking grid 12, the guide groove 10 can only be opened to one side and cannot be opened to the other side. Therefore, the backflow phenomenon of the drainage liquid can be effectively avoided, thereby improving the functionality of the support pipe 1.

[0048] At the same time, the anti-backflow installation groove 7 can be opened at the end of the support pipe 1 or a position close to the end according to needs.

[0049] Working principle: By setting the two ends of the outer support tube 4 into a tapered shape, a stepped barrier is formed between it and the stent tube 1, so that the stent tube 1 can be placed into the intestine more smoothly. At the same time, the support side wings 5 ​​in the flipped state prevent the stent tube 1 from being blocked during placement, thereby reducing damage to the patient's intestinal wall and improving the comfort of the stent during placement. Therefore, under the elastic function of the support side wings 5, when the stent tube 1 is placed into the intestine, the support side wings 5 ​​contact the intestinal wall, thereby forming a fixing effect, thereby supporting the intestine. The drainage hole 3 can drain the bile, thereby ensuring the normal discharge of bile.

[0050] When the support pipe 1 needs to have an anti-backflow function, the support ring 8 can be inserted into the interior of the support pipe 1. At this time, due to the elastic performance of the rubber gasket 9, the support ring 8 can be firmly restricted to the position of the anti-backflow mounting groove 7. Therefore, when the drainage liquid passes through the support pipe 1, the drainage liquid passes through the anti-backflow blocking grid 12 and the potential energy of the liquid flow causes the guide groove 10 opened on the anti-backflow guide membrane 11, thereby allowing the liquid to flow normally. Since one side of the anti-backflow guide membrane 11 is in contact with the anti-backflow blocking grid 12, the guide groove 10 can only be opened to one side and cannot be opened to the other side. Therefore, the backflow phenomenon of the drainage liquid can be effectively avoided, thereby improving the functionality of the support pipe 1.

[0051] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
