Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to artificial trachea technical field, concretely is a tracheal stent pusher. BACKGROUND

[0002] The trachea is composed of cartilages, smooth muscles and connective tissues. The tracheal cartilages are mostly 14-16, connected with each other by ligaments, and the tracheal cartilages are in the shape of "C", with the gap facing the back, accounting for about 2 / 3 of the tracheal circumference. The tracheal cartilages are generally 14-16, and the ring ligaments are connected between each cartilage. The membrane wall formed by the smooth muscle fibers and the connective tissues seals the back gap of the tracheal cartilage. The tracheal wall is composed of the mucosa layer, the submucosa layer and the adventitia from inside to outside. The cilia oscillation on the tracheal wall, the elastic fibers contained in the intrinsic membrane, the lymph tissues and the plasma cells, and the immunoglobulin in the secretion of the submucosal tracheal glands all constitute important components of the body defense system.

[0003] Tracheobronchomalacia is a pathological phenomenon caused by the collapse of the tracheal lumen to varying degrees due to the lack of the required cartilage hardness and support of the trachea. Tracheobronchomalacia is divided into congenital (primary) and acquired (secondary). The acquired (secondary) tracheobronchomalacia is mostly caused by external compression. For example, thymus enlargement, enlarged lymph nodes, cysts or atrial and ventricular enlargement, pulmonary artery ligaments, vascular rings, trauma, tracheotomy, thyroid tumors, etc. Due to the long-term compression of the tracheal cartilage by the space-occupying lesion, the cartilage ring becomes thin and weak, and in the late stage, the cartilage ring can be absorbed and disappeared, showing a membrane structure. The pathological mechanism may be that the long-term compression of the tracheal cartilage ring causes local blood supply deficiency or ischemia, and the ischemic aseptic necrosis causes the local disappearance of the tracheal ring.

[0004] The treatment method can use a non-invasive ventilator, but it affects daily life, and can be surgically removed, but if the tracheomalacia is wide, it cannot be used as the preferred solution, and an artificial trachea can also be implanted, such as a metal stent or a silicone stent, but such stents are prone to displacement or tracheal rupture. The existing tracheal stent placement device has a complex structure, and the operation is cumbersome, the placement efficiency of the tracheal stent is low, and the existing tracheal stent placement device is not easy to realize secondary adjustment after being placed in the trachea, increasing the pain of the patient and the occurrence of stent complications.
