Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cell brushing technology, and more specifically, to a device for sampling and collecting bile and pancreatic duct cells by brushing. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional cell brushes mainly consist of an outer tube, a slider, a pull cable, a brush head, and a wristband. The slider connects to the outer tube, the pull cable passes through the slider and the outer tube, the brush head is fixed at the front end of the pull cable, and the wristband is fixed at the rear end of the pull cable. During operation, the brush head is moved back and forth by pulling the wristband, which is suitable for brushing tissue samples under endoscopy. The disadvantages of traditional cell brushes are: simple structure and single function.

[0003] Cell brushing in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the standard method for diagnosing biliary and pancreatic strictures, but its sensitivity is not satisfactory, mainly because traditional cell brushes are not good at collecting tissue cell samples.

[0004] For example, early diagnosis of suspicious biliary and pancreatic lesions relies heavily on adequate cellular brushing during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). In challenging cases, repeated procedures due to indeterminate pathology can place a significant burden on both patients and the healthcare system. Furthermore, valuable treatment opportunities may be wasted in cases where tissues receive such unsuccessful results.

[0005] The preceding description is intended to provide general background information and does not necessarily constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for brushing and collecting bile and pancreatic duct cells, which improves the diagnostic rate of suspected malignant tumors of the bile and pancreas.

[0007] This utility model provides a biliary and pancreatic duct cell brush sampling and collection device, including a cell brush, a handle tube, an outer tube, a negative pressure collection device, a guidewire locking cap, a collection bottle, and a tissue collection device. One end of the handle tube is connected to the outer tube, and the other end of the handle tube is connected to the guidewire locking cap. The cell brush includes a pull cable, a brush head, and a handle ring. The brush head is located at the front end of the pull cable, and the handle ring is fixedly located at the rear end of the pull cable. The pull cable passes through the inner cavity of the guidewire locking cap, the handle tube, and the outer tube. The brush head extends out of the outer tube along with the front end of the pull cable, and the handle ring is located at the rear end of the guidewire locking cap. A connector communicating with the inside of the handle tube is provided on the side of the handle tube. The connector is connected to the negative pressure collection device. The tissue collection device is provided between the connector and the negative pressure collection device. A collection bottle is connected to the pipeline between the handle tube and the negative pressure collection device, and a valve is provided on the collection bottle.

[0008] Using the above-mentioned technical solution, the cell brush is fully sampled during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and the scraped pathological cells are simultaneously collected by a negative pressure collection device. The simultaneous vacuum aspiration increases the chance of capturing a small number of exfoliated cancer cells. The simultaneous vacuum aspiration during ERCP can improve the diagnostic rate of suspected biliary and pancreatic malignancies, thereby further improving the efficacy of early diagnosis. On the other hand, after the entire cell brush is extracted, contrast agent can be injected through the negative pressure collection device.

[0009] Furthermore, the negative pressure collection device includes a filter and an electric negative pressure aspirator; the inlet end of the filter is connected to the tissue collection device, and the outlet end of the filter is connected to the suction port of the electric negative pressure aspirator; a pressure display screen is provided in front of the electric negative pressure aspirator, a negative pressure adjustment button is provided below the display screen, and an air outlet is provided at the other end of the electric negative pressure aspirator.

[0010] Using the above technical solution, the suction power of the electric negative pressure aspirator is adjusted by the negative pressure adjustment button, and the negative pressure value is displayed on the pressure display screen.

[0011] Furthermore, the tissue collection device includes a front cover, a rear cover, and a filter plate; both the front cover and the rear cover are hollow cylinders, with internal threads on the inner wall of the opening of the front cover and external threads on the outer side of the opening of the rear cover; the filter plate is circular, with a protrusion on the inner wall of the front cover, and the filter plate is placed on the protrusion; when the opening of the rear cover is located at the opening of the front cover, the external threads are screwed onto the internal threads, and the opening end of the rear cover presses against the filter plate.

[0012] Using the above technical solution, when the electric negative pressure aspirator is used, the tissue powder will be blocked inside the front cover by the filter plate; after aspiration, the tissue collection device can be removed, and the front and rear covers can be opened to obtain the collected tissue.

[0013] Furthermore, a developing ring is provided inside the tube hole at the front end of the outer tube. This is suitable for development under X-rays.

[0014] Furthermore, the guide wire locking cap includes a threaded tube, an elastic ring, and a cap; one end of the threaded tube is connected to one end of the handle tube, the elastic ring is located inside the threaded tube, and the cap is provided with an insertion tube, which has a guide wire hole and a cable hole; the cap uses the insertion tube to press the elastic ring against the handle tube end at the bottom of the threaded tube; the outer side of the cap is provided with an internal thread that mates with the threaded tube, and the cable passes through the cap and the elastic ring.

[0015] Using the above technical solution, it is only necessary to rotate the cap. Since the internal thread is fitted onto the external thread of the threaded tube, the entire cap is pressed down, thereby squeezing the elastic ring with the insertion tube. This causes the elastic ring to be compressed axially, and then expands inward on the inside, so that the elastic ring is in close contact with the cable, so as to lock the cable. When it is necessary to release the cable, it is only necessary to turn the cap in the opposite direction to release the pressure on the elastic ring.

[0016] Furthermore, the elastic ring is an elastic silicone ring with a central opening.

[0017] Furthermore, the collection bottle is cylindrical, and scale lines are provided on the side of the collection bottle.

[0018] Furthermore, the collection bottle is made of a transparent material.

[0019] Furthermore, the connection between the collection bottle and the pipe is provided with an arc-shaped bevel.

[0020] Furthermore, the surface of the handle tube is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0021] The bile and pancreatic duct cell brush sampling and collection device provided by this utility model fully samples the cell brush during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and simultaneously collects the scraped pathological cells using a negative pressure collection device; the simultaneous vacuum aspiration increases the chance of capturing a small number of exfoliated cancer cells; the simultaneous vacuum aspiration during ERCP can improve the diagnostic rate of suspected bile and pancreatic malignancies, thereby further improving the efficacy of early diagnosis; on the other hand, contrast agent can be injected after the entire cell brush has been extracted.

Figure 5 , Figure 6 The tissue collection device 7 of this utility model includes a front cover 71, a rear cover 72, and a filter plate 73.
