TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to medical instrument technical field, concretely relates to a cross bronchus flap. BACKGROUND
[0002] The state of the bronchus flap is related to the stenosis of the bronchus. When the bronchus is stenotic, the flap will be in an open state to ensure that the airflow can enter the lung. When the bronchus is completely blocked, the flap will be in a closed state, thereby forming a one-way valve function to prevent the airflow from being discharged, resulting in persistent lung obstruction. Common types of flaps include airway stenosis and bronchospasm. Airway stenosis can be caused by airway inflammation, tumors, foreign bodies, etc., while bronchospasm can be caused by neuromuscular diseases, allergic reactions, etc. In the flap state, the patient will have persistent coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and other symptoms, and in severe cases, it can even lead to suffocation. Treatment methods usually include drug therapy and surgical treatment. Drug therapy mainly uses anti-inflammatory, anti-asthma, and other drugs to relieve symptoms, while surgical treatment includes dilation, plastic surgery, etc. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a common respiratory disease, and lung volume reduction surgery and lung transplantation are important treatment measures for such patients. The bronchus one-way flap currently used in clinical practice is made of nickel-titanium alloy framework combined with film material to achieve the function of a bronchus one-way flap with radial support. Its manufacturing process is relatively complex, and the yield is low.
[0003] CN115531038A discloses a bronchus one-way flap, which includes a support part and a gas-permeable part. The bronchus flap can reduce the production cost of the bronchus one-way flap and facilitate its popularization and use. However, many bronchus flaps currently being researched by companies, including the one disclosed in CN115531038A, are duckbill-shaped one-way flaps. The opening of the flap is small, and the process of discharging secretions is slow, which can cause the secretions to solidify in the opening and eventually lead to the failure of the flap.
[0004] Therefore, the utility model is proposed, which has a simple manufacturing process, a high yield, and obvious treatment effect. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
