Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to medical instrument technical field, especially a guide sheath tube for establishing an instrument channel between urethra bladder and ureter and renal pelvis. BACKGROUND

[0002] Ureter guide sheath, mainly used in clinical urological surgery, to establish a channel for endoscope and other instruments to enter the urinary tract; the doctor finds the stone through the soft mirror, cooperates holmium laser to break the stone, and then uses negative pressure suction to suck the broken stone, if only broken, the stone disease may relapse after a few years, increasing the risk. In the process of using negative pressure suction to break the stone in the existing urological surgery, the negative pressure switch is not convenient, the negative pressure stone operation is not convenient, and the pressure index of negative pressure cannot be directly displayed, increasing the operation difficulty and operation time.

[0003] In addition, the size of the existing ureter sheath tube is fixed from head to tail, the inner diameter specification is 9Fr, 10Fr, 11Fr, 12Fr, 13Fr, 14Fr and 15Fr, and the sheath tube length specification is 40 / 45 / 50cm. According to the size of the urethral orifice to the bladder, the distance is much larger than that of the ureter to the renal pelvis, and many patients are born with narrow ureter, so the doctor must choose the guide sheath tube that can pass through the ureter, so that the sheath tube can only be selected to be thin to pass through the ureter, and the operation time is generally prolonged when the thin sheath tube is used with the soft mirror to take the stone, because more time is needed to break the stone to be thinner, and the thin broken stone needs more times to be sucked out, so the operation time is also not infinitely prolonged, sometimes a stone needs to be taken twice, or even a higher risk minimally invasive surgery is used to take the stone. In addition, the thin sheath tube also has another problem, because the sheath tube is thin and long, the soft mirror needs to pass through the inner diameter of the sheath tube to reach the renal pelvis, and the outer diameter size of the soft mirror is certain, so the soft mirror occupies most of the space in the thin sheath tube, and in the process of taking the stone, water is needed to be sprayed into the renal pelvis to flush the broken stone, and the water sprayed into the renal pelvis needs to flow out from the gap between the sheath tube inner diameter and the soft mirror, if the water cannot flow out in time, the pressure in the renal pelvis will be too high, and the sewage in the renal pelvis will be pressed into the human body, and if the time is long, serious postoperative complications will be caused.
