[0032] The elastic clamping piece 5 is elastically connected to the support tube 2, a plurality of positioning holes 7 matched with the elastic clamping piece 5 are transversely formed on the delivery tube 1, when the support tube 2 slides a certain distance relative to the delivery tube 1, the elastic covered umbrella-shaped stent 3 can be clamped into the positioning hole 7 at the corresponding position by the elastic clamping piece 5, the positioning hole 7 at each position corresponds to the shape of the elastic covered umbrella-shaped stent 3, which is convenient for the operator to position and open the elastic covered umbrella-shaped stent 3 to the corresponding size and shape, and is convenient for being suitable for various blood vessel diameters.
[0033] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown in the drawings, the above-mentioned elastic covered umbrella-shaped stent 3 comprises two groups of mutually connected conical elastic metal mesh frames, and the two groups of conical elastic metal mesh frames are symmetrically distributed, one group of conical elastic metal mesh frames is fixedly connected to the end of the support tube 2, and the covered membrane body 6 is sewn on the conical elastic metal mesh frame away from the support tube 2, when the elastic covered umbrella-shaped stent 3 is expanded, the intersection position of the two conical elastic metal mesh frames abuts against the inner wall of the blood vessel, which is convenient for scraping the thrombus, and when the elastic covered umbrella-shaped stent 3 is pulled back by the support tube 2, the thrombus can be collected and captured by relying on the covered membrane body 6.
[0034] In addition, the film body 6 is a PTFE film with proper size micro-holes for facilitating blood flow and preventing thrombus passing, and the film body 6 can be connected in the same way as the umbrella cloth and the frame of the umbrella structure.
[0035] It should be noted that the conical elastic metal mesh frame is a nickel-titanium alloy structure with strong elasticity, which is heat-set in the released form to form a basket structure. Since the elastic film umbrella-shaped stent 3 is formed by two symmetrical conical elastic metal mesh frames, the stent body can be smoothly released and recovered, and strong radial support force is provided to ensure that the blood vessel wall can be expanded to remove the mural thrombus.
[0036] In addition, the outer edges of the connection positions of the two groups of conical elastic metal mesh frames are surrounded by a silicone ring 11, which facilitates the removal of thrombus on the inner wall of the blood vessel while preventing damage to the blood vessel.
[0037] In order to facilitate the operation of the elastic clamping piece 5 by directly pushing and pulling the support tube 2, the elastic clamping piece 5 includes an elastic clamping column 10, a mounting groove 8 and a spring 9, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mounting groove 8 is provided on the outer wall of the support tube 2, one end of the elastic clamping column 10 is slidably inserted into the mounting groove 8, and the elastic clamping column 10 is connected to the mounting groove 8 by the spring 9. The spring 9 can be compressed, the other end of the elastic clamping column 10 is a conical end, and the conical end cooperates with the positioning hole 7. When the conical end of the elastic clamping column 10 is inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 7, if the support tube 2 is pushed and pulled, the inclined wall of the conical end and the inner wall of the positioning hole 7 will be squeezed, and the inclined wall of the conical end will be compressed by the spring 9 in the direction, thereby realizing the sliding storage of the elastic clamping column 10 into the mounting groove 8. When the elastic clamping column 10 gradually separates from the corresponding positioning hole 7, the elastic clamping column 10 is then displaced together with the support tube 2, and when it is displaced to the position of the next positioning hole 7, the elastic clamping column 10 is clamped into the positioning hole 7 at the current position by the elastic force of the spring 9.
[0038] It should be noted that the elastic clamping column 10 can also be an elastic rubber piece, which is then directly fixed and connected to the outer wall of the support tube 2 to complete the relevant positioning operation by extrusion deformation.
[0039] In some specific embodiments, when the support tube 2 is slid to the corresponding position relative to the delivery tube 1 and positioned by the elastic clamping piece 5, so that the elastic film umbrella-shaped stent 3 is expanded to the corresponding form for use, in order to avoid accidental resetting of the elastic film umbrella-shaped stent 3, it is necessary to ensure that the support tube 2 and the delivery tube 1 are completely fixed together, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, the end of the delivery tube 1 away from the elastic membrane umbrella-shaped stent 3 is connected with the support tube 2 through a fixing valve for locking the relative position of the support tube 2 and the delivery tube 1.
[0040] The fixing valve comprises a communication tube 12 and a locking knob mechanism. One end of the communication tube 12 is fixedly connected with the delivery tube 1, and the other end is connected with the locking knob. The end of the support tube 2 away from the elastic membrane umbrella-shaped stent 3 penetrates through the communication tube 12, and the outer diameter of the support tube 2 is equal to the inner diameter of the communication tube 12.
[0041] The locking knob mechanism comprises an external thread sleeve 13 and a rotating sleeve 14. The end of the communication tube 12 away from the delivery tube 1 is coaxially fixedly connected with the external thread sleeve 13, and the inner diameter of the external thread sleeve 13 is larger than the inner diameter of the communication tube 12. The rotating sleeve 14 is threadedly connected on the outside of the external thread sleeve 13. The side of the external thread sleeve 13 close to the communication tube 12 is fixedly connected with a conical silica gel sleeve 16, and the conical silica gel sleeve 16 is fitted on the support tube 2. The inner circle of the rotating sleeve 14 is fixedly connected with an extrusion sleeve 15 matched with the conical silica gel sleeve 16. When it is needed to lock the relative position of the support tube 2 and the communication tube 12 and the delivery tube 1, the rotating sleeve 14 is rotated along the external thread sleeve 13, and the extrusion sleeve 15 is extruded from the outside of the conical silica gel sleeve 16, so that the conical silica gel sleeve 16 is tightly wrapped on the outer wall of the support tube 2, and the position is fixed.
[0042] In some specific embodiments, in order to facilitate the observation of the position of the thrombus inside the blood vessel, the elastic membrane umbrella-shaped stent 3 is kept in the appropriate position. The end of the elastic membrane umbrella-shaped stent 3 away from the support tube 2 is fixedly installed with a sharp end imaging mechanism 4, preferably a medical micro imaging shooting device. The wire or data line thereof can extend through the support tube 2.
[0043] In order to facilitate the understanding of the person skilled in the art to the embodiment of the present scheme, the working principle of the present scheme will be briefly described in combination with specific application scenarios:
[0044] Before the thrombus on the wall of the branch blood vessel is removed, the support tube 2 drives the elastic membrane umbrella-shaped stent 3 to deform and be accommodated inside the delivery tube 1. Then the delivery tube 1 with the accommodated elastic membrane umbrella-shaped stent 3 reaches the position of the thrombus along the blood vessel. Then the support tube 2 is slid forward relative to the delivery tube 1, so that the elastic membrane umbrella-shaped stent 3 is stretched out and expanded in the blood vessel, and the expanded position of the elastic membrane umbrella-shaped stent 3 exceeds the position of the thrombus. Then the elastic membrane umbrella-shaped stent 3 is pulled back through the support tube 2, so that the thrombus attached to the inner wall of the blood vessel is scraped off. Finally, the elastic membrane umbrella-shaped stent 3 returns to the inside of the delivery tube 1 together with the removed thrombus, and the elastic membrane umbrella-shaped stent 3 is completely accommodated in the delivery tube 1 again. Then the delivery tube 1 and the accommodated elastic membrane umbrella-shaped stent 3 are taken out, so that the thrombus is removed and collected.
[0045] And after the support tube 2 slides a certain distance relative to the delivery tube 1, the elastic clamping piece 5 on the support tube 2 is clamped into the positioning hole 7 in the corresponding position, at this time the elastic membrane umbrella-shaped stent 3 is in the corresponding size form, and when the elastic membrane umbrella-shaped stent 3 is fully opened or fully stored, the elastic clamping piece 5 is clamped into the positioning hole 7 in the corresponding position, so that the elastic membrane umbrella-shaped stent 3 is gradually unfolded to the corresponding size form, thereby being suitable for blood vessels of various diameters.
[0046] And after the elastic membrane umbrella-shaped stent 3 is unfolded to the corresponding size form, especially when it is not fully unfolded, in order to avoid the elastic membrane umbrella-shaped stent 3 from being accidentally reset, the fixed valve is controlled to fix and lock the position of the support tube 2 relative to the delivery tube 1, and then the thrombus removal operation is performed, and when the elastic membrane umbrella-shaped stent 3 and the thrombus need to be recycled, the elastic membrane umbrella-shaped stent 3 and the thrombus can be recycled.
[0047] The above describes several embodiments of the utility model in detail, but the embodiments of the utility model are not limited to this, and cannot be considered as limiting the implementation scope of the utility model. Any equivalent changes and improvements within the scope of the utility model application should still belong to the patent coverage scope of the utility model.
