AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing Eustachian tube balloon catheters cannot effectively expand and clear secretions at the same time, and are prone to causing tympanic cavity infection during drug administration and flushing. The single-tube, dual-lumen structure has insufficient space for air and liquid supply, and flushing liquid can easily enter the tympanic cavity.

Method used

The balloon catheter adopts a double-tube structure. The inner tube is used for drug administration and flushing, and the outer tube is used for expansion. The distal end of the inner tube is provided with end holes and side holes to divide the pressure of the flushing liquid to prevent it from entering the ear canal. The annular cavity between the outer and inner tubes serves as an inflation cavity, and the support tube and heat shrink tubing are used for sealing.

Benefits of technology

It achieves effective expansion of the Eustachian tube and clearance of secretions, reduces the risk of tympanic cavity infection, increases the space for air and liquid supply, and improves the effects of flushing and drug administration.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a balloon catheter. Background Art

[0002] In the process of treating Eustachian tube-related diseases, the Eustachian tube needs to be dilated. Currently, a Eustachian tube balloon is often used to dilate the Eustachian tube, but the Eustachian tube balloon cannot clear the secretions in the Eustachian tube. If the secretions in the Eustachian tube need to be cleared, an additional flushing catheter is required to administer medication and flush to clear the secretions, which is inconvenient for doctors to operate.

[0003] In addition, there are balloon catheters that can dilate the Eustachian tube and administer medication and flush. However, they use a single-tube double-lumen structure. The air and liquid supply space of the double-lumen structure is greatly affected by the diameter of the tube body, resulting in insufficient air and liquid supply space.

[0004] In addition, the existing balloon catheter flushing method for the Eustachian tube is to only have an end hole at the end as a drug administration flushing hole. The drug administration flushing method with a drug administration flushing hole at the end has a high drug administration flushing pressure, and there is a high probability that the flushing liquid will enter the tympanic cavity and bring secretions into the tympanic cavity, causing tympanic cavity infection and other problems.
