In this embodiment, the second restraining member 8 and the third restraining member 9 are wire bodies; the front end of the outer cover pipe body 7 is flexible material.

[0064] Through the combination of the above-mentioned components, the direction guiding device of the thrombus extraction catheter is formed. When the thrombus extraction operation is performed, the knob 45 of the operation unit 4 is used to easily operate the swing of the swing member 43, and then the first connecting rod 46 and the second connecting rod 47 are connected to the first connecting rod 46 and the second connecting rod 47, and the second restraining member 8 and the third restraining member 9 connected to the first connecting rod 46 and the second connecting rod 47, and the outer cover pipe body 7 is driven by the second restraining member 8 and the third restraining member 9 to bend in different angles in the left and right directions, so as to achieve the purpose of synchronous bending of the distal end of the thrombus extraction catheter 1.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 9 , the action state diagram of the second embodiment of the utility model. Please cooperate Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown in the figure, when the utility model is used, like the existing thrombus extraction operation, the outer cover pipe body 7 covered with the thrombus extraction catheter 1 and placed with the second restraining member 8 and the third restraining member 9 is arranged in the arterial blood vessel of the patient. When the bending section of the blood vessel 2 is encountered, the medical staff can appropriately adjust the positions of the second restraining member 8 and the third restraining member 9 by moving the sliding block 42 along the sliding groove 411, and control the outer cover pipe body 7 to bend in different angles by rotating the knob 45, and then control the outer cover pipe body 7 and the thrombus extraction catheter 1 to bend in different angles. Among them, when the knob 45 is rotated to the left in this embodiment, the first connecting rod 46 will be pulled backward, and the second connecting rod 47 will be pushed forward, so that the second restraining member 8 is pulled backward and the third restraining member 9 is pushed forward. Because the front end of the outer cover pipe body 7 is flexible material, the front end will bend to the left due to the backward pulling of the second restraining member 8. In this way, when the thrombus extraction catheter 1 travels in the blood vessel 2, it can bypass the turning place of the blood vessel 2, avoid being stuck in the turning place and be difficult to pass through, so that the thrombus extraction operation can be more smoothly.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 10, please cooperate with Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown in the figure, when the knob 45 is turned to the right, the second connecting rod 47 will be pulled backward, and the first connecting rod 46 will be pushed forward, so that the third pulling member 9 is pulled backward and the second pulling member 8 is pushed forward. Since the front end of the outer cover pipe body 7 is made of flexible material, the front end will be bent to the right due to the backward pulling of the third pulling member 9. Therefore, when the thrombus extraction catheter 1 travels in the blood vessel 2, it can bypass the turning part of the blood vessel 2, avoiding being stuck in the turning part and being difficult to pass through, so that the thrombus extraction operation can be more smooth.
