Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a hypotube. BACKGROUND

[0002] Due to the small size and numerous bending sections of intracranial blood vessels, the ability to quickly pass through the bending sections of the blood vessels to reach the lesion site becomes a standard for measuring the advantages and disadvantages of the guide wire. Intracranial vascular diseases are increasingly common due to factors such as age and genetics. For example, in the case of aneurysm, an intracranial aneurysm will compress the nerve tissue in the early stage of unrupture, and aneurysms at different locations will cause corresponding pathological symptoms. For example, compression of the optic nerve will cause a dark shadow in the visual field, and in severe cases, blindness. Subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by aneurysm rupture will cause a stroke. Current intracranial aneurysm treatment methods are divided into surgical clipping and interventional therapy. Considering the slow healing of elderly patients after craniotomy, interventional therapy is often used. Interventional therapy devices are divided into auxiliary stent-assisted coil embolization, flow diversion device therapy, and braided embolization. The guide wire is used to deliver such devices to the lesion site to achieve the purpose of treatment.

[0003] The current mainstream guide wire structure is an alloy core wire plus a coiled spring structure. The coiled spring structure guide wire has the defect that the near-end torque cannot be transmitted to the far end in a proportional manner in clinical use, thereby failing to flexibly control the guide wire. The hypotube structure guide wire has excellent torque transmission capability and can quickly super-select to the lesion site under complex vascular conditions. The pipe material of the present application is the outer layer structure necessary for the hypotube guide wire. In the application process of the original cutting structure, it is found that the hypotube as a whole will break under the condition of extreme bending stress. The starting point of the breakage is always a crack at the root of the groove, and the crack expands to break as the bending degree increases. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0004] Therefore, the present application provides a hypotube with stronger bending fracture resistance.

[0005] According to an aspect of the present application, a hypotube is provided, comprising: a hypotube body;

[0006] The hypotube body is a hollow tubular structure with a predetermined length, and a torsion groove is recessed on the side wall of the hypotube body. The torsion groove is a closed loop annular structure and is arranged along the circumference of the hypotube body.

[0007] The torsion groove is a plurality of grooves arranged along the axial direction of the hypotube body, and the closed loop positions of any adjacent torsion grooves do not correspond. The closed loop positions of any interval torsion grooves correspond, and the axial direction of the hypotube is in a spiral shape.

[0008] In a possible implementation, the interval distances of any adjacent torsion grooves are different.

[0009] In a possible implementation, the length direction of the cross section of the torsion groove is perpendicular to the axial direction of the hypotube body.

[0010] In a possible implementation, a stress groove is formed on the side wall of the hypotube body.

[0011] At least one of the stress grooves is located at one end of the length direction of the torsion groove.

[0012] In a possible implementation, the cross section of the stress groove is circular, elliptical or keyhole-shaped.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the diameter of the cross section of the stress groove is greater than the opening width of the torsion groove.

[0014] In a possible implementation, a plurality of stress grooves are alternately arranged along the axial direction of the hypotube, and the number of the stress grooves is two or more.

[0015] In a possible implementation, the cross section of the torsion groove along the axial direction of the hypotube body is annular with an opening.

[0016] In a possible implementation, the interval angle between two adjacent stress grooves along the axial direction of the hypotube body is 90 degrees.

[0017] The interval angle between two adjacent stress grooves along the axial direction of the hypotube body is in the range of 5 degrees to 20 degrees.

[0018] The hypotube of the embodiment has the following advantages: the hypotube body is a tubular structure used in medical treatment, and a plurality of torsion grooves are arranged on the side wall along the axial direction. The softness and flexibility of the cylindrical tube body are adjusted by adjusting the cutting texture, so that the bending fracture resistance of the hypotube is improved. Specifically, the opening of the torsion groove greatly improves the application value of the hypotube body in medical intervention surgery, so that the guide wire can maintain the best controllability, flexibility and stability when passing through the tortuous and variable blood vessels or narrow space.

[0030] In addition, for a better illustration of the present application, numerous specific details are set forth in the following detailed description. Those skilled in the art will understand, however, that the present application can be practiced without certain specific details, and that the present application can be practiced with certain other methods, techniques, elements, and circuits.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1-5 The hypotube of the present application comprises a hypotube body 100, which is a hollow tubular structure with a preset length, and a torsion groove 110 is formed on the side wall of the hypotube body 100. The torsion groove 110 is a plurality of grooves arranged along the axial direction of the hypotube body 100.

[0032] In the present embodiment, the hypotube body 100 is a tubular structure for medical use, and a plurality of torsion grooves 110 are arranged on the side wall in the axial direction. The softness of the cylindrical tube body is adjusted by adjusting the cutting texture, thereby improving the bending fracture resistance of the hypotube. Specifically, the formation of the torsion groove 110 greatly improves the application value of the hypotube body 100 in medical intervention surgery, and ensures that the guide wire can maintain the best controllability, flexibility and stability when passing through the tortuous and variable blood vessels or narrow space.

[0033] In a specific embodiment, the spacing distance of any adjacent torsion groove is different, and the differentiated spacing further improves the performance of the hypotube. By adjusting the spacing distance, the softness and bending resistance of the hypotube can be finely adjusted to meet the needs of different surgical scenarios.

[0034] In a specific embodiment, the opening direction of the torsion groove 110 is a long strip shape, which can improve the flexibility and stability of the hypotube body 100 in the axial direction, so that the doctor can flexibly control the bending of the distal end of the guide wire during the operation.

[0035] In the present embodiment, the length direction of the cross section of the torsion groove 110 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the hypotube body 100. The torsion groove 110 is formed around the circumference of the hypotube body 100, so that the cross section of the torsion groove 110 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the hypotube body 100. When the hypotube is bent, it can be bent by the formation of the torsion groove 110, and the stability can be improved by the direction of the torsion groove 110 being perpendicular to the axial direction of the hypotube body 100, which is convenient for control.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, the stress groove 120 is formed on the sidewall of the hypotube body 100, and at least one stress groove 120 is located at one end of the length direction of the torsion groove 110, or both ends of the length direction of the torsion groove 110 are provided with the stress groove 120. The formation of the stress groove 120 can further improve the performance and structural strength of the hypotube. Specifically, by combining the stress groove 120 with the torsion groove 110, the concentrated stress generated by torsion or bending is effectively dispersed and relieved, thereby prolonging the service life of the hypotube body 100 and improving its reliability.

[0037] Further, in the present embodiment, the cross section of the stress groove 120 is circular, elliptical or waist hole-shaped. The circular and elliptical cross sections can provide more uniform stress dispersion effect and reduce stress concentration phenomenon; while the waist hole shape can provide stronger support in a specific direction to adapt to different use scenarios and stress requirements.

[0038] Further, in the present embodiment, the diameter of the cross section of the stress groove 120 is greater than the opening width of the torsion groove 110, which ensures that the stress groove 120 can disperse stress without excessively weakening the structural strength of the hypotube body 100. By maintaining a certain size difference, the effective dispersion of stress is realized, and the overall rigidity and stability of the hypotube body 100 are ensured.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, a plurality of stress grooves 120 are alternately arranged along the axial direction of the hypotube, and the number of stress grooves 120 is two or more. The plurality of stress grooves 120 are alternately arranged along the axial direction of the hypotube. When the hypotube is subjected to external load or internal stress, the plurality of stress grooves 120 can effectively absorb, disperse and guide the stress flow, avoid local stress concentration, and thus protect the overall structure of the hypotube from damage.

[0040] In a specific embodiment, the cross section of the torsion groove 110 along the axial direction of the hypotube body 100 is annular with an opening. The annular cross section enables the torsion groove 110 to be more uniformly distributed on the sidewall of the hypotube body 100, which can effectively disperse and relieve the stress generated by torsion or bending. When the hypotube is subjected to torsional force, the opening part can deform slightly to absorb and disperse the torsional stress, thereby protecting the hypotube body 100 from excessive stress.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, the cross section of the torsion groove 110 along the axial direction of the hypotube body 100 has a length of 7 / 10-9 / 10 of the circumferential length of the hypotube.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, the two stress grooves 120 adjacent to each other in the axial direction of the hypotube body 100 are separated by an angle of 90 degrees, and the two stress grooves 120 separated from each other in the axial direction of the hypotube body 100 are separated by an angle in the range of 8-10 degrees. Specifically, the two stress grooves 120 adjacent to each other in the axial direction of the hypotube body 100 are ingeniously arranged to be separated by an angle of 90 degrees. Ensuring that the stress grooves 120 can be evenly distributed around the hypotube, and the separation angle between the two stress grooves 120 separated from each other in the axial direction of the hypotube body 100 is precisely controlled in the range of 5-20 degrees, can avoid the structural weakening caused by the excessive density of the stress grooves 120.

[0043] The above has described the embodiments of the present application, the above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and changes are obvious to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The selection of the terms used herein is intended to best explain the principles, practical applications, or improvements to the technology in the market of the embodiments, or to enable other ordinary skilled persons in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
