Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a double-headed zebra guidewire. Background Art

[0002] Choledochoscopes and duodenoscopes are routinely used to treat biliary and pancreatic diseases such as gallstones, bile duct strictures, and obstructive jaundice. Guidewires are commonly used in choledochoscopes and duodenoscopes, allowing rapid access through the duodenal papilla to the common bile duct or through strictures to the intrahepatic bile duct. Other endoscopic consumables, such as angiographic catheters, sphincterotomies, papillary dilation balloons, and biliary stents, must be placed under the guidance of a guidewire to ensure proper function.

[0003] Currently, commonly used guidewires are divided into two types according to their outer diameter: 0.035 inches and 0.025 inches. The 0.035-inch guidewire is thicker and has better rigidity. When inserting the guidewire through various accessory cavities, it is easier to feel whether there is resistance at the front end of the guidewire. Under the guidance of the 0.035-inch guidewire, the insertion of various accessories is also smoother. The 0.025-inch guidewire is thinner and can easily pass through stenosis or enter the common bile duct through the duodenal papilla. However, the guidewire has a poor grip and lacks rigidity, making it easy to bend. When inserting the guidewire through other accessory cavities, it is difficult to feel the resistance at the front end of the guidewire. When inserting various accessories under the guidance of the 0.025-inch guidewire, the accessories are difficult to place in the designated position due to the lack of rigidity of the guidewire.

[0004] Guidewires can be categorized as straight or curved based on the shape of their insertion portion. Straight guidewires are easier to navigate through straight cavities, while curved guidewires are more easily able to navigate twisted or angled cavities. When intubation with a straight guidewire fails, a second curved guidewire is often required.

[0005] The types of guidewires used in sequence include: 0.025-inch straight guidewire, 0.025-inch curved guidewire, 0.035-inch straight guidewire and 0.035-inch curved guidewire, which seriously increase the medical costs of patients. Utility Model Content

[0028] The utility model provides a double-headed zebra guidewire, which consists of a core wire 1, a wrapping layer 2 and a hydrophilic coating. The wrapping layer 2 is wrapped around the outside of the core wire 1, and the hydrophilic coating is coated on the outer surface of the wrapping layer 2.

[0029] The double-headed zebra guidewire is divided into an insertion part I3, a connecting part 4, an operating part 5 and an insertion part II6 which are connected to each other in sequence, wherein the connecting part 4 and the operating part 5 are located in the middle, and the insertion part I3 and the insertion part II6 are located at both ends.

[0030] The insertion portion I3 is in a straight line or an arc shape, and the insertion portion II6 is in an arc shape or a straight line shape.

[0031] The core wires in the insertion part I3 and the insertion part II6 are both metal wires, which are spiral wires. The wrapping layers of the insertion part I3 and the insertion part II6 are both soft materials (existing materials).

[0032] The core wires within the connecting portion 4 and the operating portion 5 are both long, strip-shaped metal wires. The outer surface of each of these wrappings is made of a material such as polyethylene (a conventional material), and each wrapping has spiral zebra stripes. The wrapping of the operating portion 5 also features multiple scale markings 7 at intervals. These markings are located at different locations on the operating portion 5, making it easier to observe the depth of the guidewire insertion. The scale markings 7 are located on both sides of the operating portion 5.

[0033] The outer diameters of the operating portion 5 and the insertion portion II 6 are identical and larger than the outer diameter of the insertion portion I 3. The outer diameter of the insertion portion I 3 at one end is 0.025 inches, while the outer diameters of the insertion portion II 6 and the operating portion 5 at the other end are 0.035 inches, making it easier to enter the common bile duct through stenosis or through the duodenal papilla.

[0034] The insertion portion I3 at one end may be in a straight line shape, while the insertion portion II6 at the other end may be in an arc shape, thereby realizing two functions of one guide wire.

[0035] The connecting portion 4 is in a truncated cone structure. The outer diameter of one end of the connecting portion 4 is the same as the outer diameter of the inserting portion I3 , and the outer diameter of the other end is the same as the outer diameter of the operating portion 5 .

[0036] The utility model can be inserted through two insertion parts, straight or bent, thin or thick, and is easier to pass through narrow openings, has a higher success rate of duodenal papilla intubation, and is also easier to enter various accessory cavities.

[0037] Duodenoscope-assisted sphincterotomy intubation with a zebra guidewire: The duodenoscope is positioned in the descending duodenum, and the duodenal papilla is located. The sphincterotomy with a guidewire is inserted through the duodenoscope's forceps channel into the duodenal lumen. The sphincterotomy's placement, axis, and curvature are adjusted at the papillary opening to secure the sphincterotomy. A guidewire is inserted into the sphincterotomy lumen. The thin, straight-tipped end of the guidewire is guided through the sphincterotomy and into the common bile duct through the papillary sphincter. Guidewire-guided sphincterotomy, balloon dilatation, lithotomy, and biliary stent placement or nasobiliary duct placement are performed. Finally, the duodenoscope and zebra guidewire are removed. If intubation with the thin, straight-tipped end fails, the wider, curved end can be used to increase the success rate of intubation.
