Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical instrument and equipment, and relates to a recoverable inferior vena cava filter. BACKGROUND

[0002] Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a venous return disorder caused by abnormal blood clotting in deep veins, often occurring in the lower limbs. Thrombus detachment can cause pulmonary embolism (PE), and DVT and PE are collectively referred to as venous thromboembolism (VTE), which is a manifestation of the same disease at different stages. The main adverse consequences of DVT are PE and post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS), which can significantly affect the quality of life of patients and even cause death.

[0003] An inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) is a device designed to prevent the detachment of thrombi from the inferior vena cava system, which can cause pulmonary embolism (PE). It can effectively prevent fatal PE and is widely used in clinical practice. The inferior vena cava filter can capture large thrombus clots, and then dissolve or decompose the large thrombus clots into smaller blood clots through catheter thrombolytic therapy, which can disperse to the small branches of the pulmonary artery, reducing the impact of thrombus on pulmonary circulation.

[0004] The inferior vena cava filters on the market are mainly divided into three types: permanent, recoverable and convertible inferior vena cava filters. Permanent filters and convertible inferior vena cava filters will remain in the human body permanently. They have fewer complications in the short term after being implanted in the body, but the probability of serious complications such as displacement, fracture, perforation, and inferior vena cava obstruction will greatly increase with time, thus losing their due value. The recoverable filter can be effectively avoided after completing the filtering task, but due to the larger contact area between the support part and the blood vessel wall, it is easy to cause intimal hyperplasia and other phenomena, making the recoverable filter difficult to recover, causing damage to the blood vessel wall during recovery, incomplete collection of thrombus, and thrombus left over.

[0005] Traditional inferior vena cava filters can be divided into umbrella-shaped, cylindrical and double-head cluster-shaped in structure. The umbrella-shaped inferior vena cava filter is mainly composed of a plurality of slender filter rods and support rods to form a filtering part, which converges on a recovery body at one end. This type of filter is prone to tilting during implantation and cannot guarantee good centring. The angle of inclination is random, and a severe inclination angle can cause uneven deployment of the filter, resulting in difficulty in recovering the filter, reduced filtering effect of thrombus, and serious complications such as perforation.

[0006] The traditional cylindrical vena cava filter is mainly composed of a plurality of support rods connecting filter rods to form a support and filter part, and the filter rods are gathered on a recovery body at one end. The filter of this type ensures good centring when the filter is implanted, but has a large resistance when the filter is released from the sheath, and is prone to elastic load jumping, which causes certain damage to the cavity. On the other hand, the support body has a large contact area with the blood vessel after the filter is implanted, which is prone to intimal hyperplasia and other phenomena, causing difficulty in recovering the filter.

[0007] The traditional double-head cluster vena cava filter has a bulky waist support body structure, and the filter body is connected to the support body at both ends and gathered on a recovery body at one end. The filter of this type can ensure good support and is not prone to tilting, but has poor capture effect on free thrombus, and the length of the nickel-titanium shape memory alloy pipe required for production is too long and difficult to shape, resulting in high production cost. Similarly, the support body has a large contact area with the blood vessel after the filter is implanted, which is prone to intimal hyperplasia and other phenomena, causing difficulty in recovering the filter. Practical new type

[0008] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a recoverable inferior vena cava filter which has good structural stability, good wall adhesion, good centring, good anti-falling property, high embolus capture rate and small influence on blood flow. The main problem solved by the present application is the low capture rate and easy deviation of the traditional umbrella-shaped filter, and the poor centring. The double-layer circumferential point contact is fixed to the blood vessel wall to ensure good centring, and the problems of large contact area of the traditional cylindrical support rod, easy intimal hyperplasia and difficulty in recovering the filter are solved.

[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is:

[0010] The present application provides a recoverable inferior vena cava filter, comprising a recovery column and a vena cava filter body having an expanded and contracted state, wherein the recovery column is provided with a recovery hook, and the vena cava filter body comprises a plurality of first filter rods and a plurality of second filter rods; the first filter rod comprises a first sub-rod, a second sub-rod and a third sub-rod, the top end of the first sub-rod is connected to the recovery column, the end of the first sub-rod is connected to the top end of the second sub-rod and the third sub-rod respectively, and the end of the second sub-rod and the third sub-rod is respectively provided with a first positioning hook; the top end of the second filter rod is connected to the recovery column, and the end of the second filter rod is provided with a second positioning hook; in the expanded state, each of the first filter rods and the second filter rods is uniformly distributed in a ring shape around the axis of the recovery column, and the height of the second filter rod is higher than that of the first filter rod; the distance between each of the first filter rods and the central axis of the recovery column is equal; the distance between each of the second filter rods and the central axis of the recovery column is equal; and the centers of the circular arcs of the first filter rods and the second filter rods are on the side away from the central axis of the recovery column.

[0011] In some embodiments of the utility model, when the inferior vena cava filter body is in the expanded state, the ends of the first filter rod and the second filter rod are distributed on the same diameter circle with the axis of the recovery column as the center.

[0012] In some embodiments of the utility model, when the inferior vena cava filter body is in the expanded state, the second sub-rod and the third sub-rod are evenly distributed on the circumference.

[0013] In some embodiments of the utility model, when the inferior vena cava filter body is in the expanded state, the first sub-rod and the second sub-rod and the third sub-rod form a herringbone filter rod.

[0014] In some embodiments of the utility model, when the inferior vena cava filter body is in the expanded state, the second filter rod is a semicircular filter rod away from the axis of the recovery column and with the opening direction close to the recovery column.

[0015] In some embodiments of the utility model, the number of the first filter rod and the second filter rod is the same, and the first filter rod and the second filter rod are arranged at intervals.

[0016] In some embodiments of the utility model, the number of the first sub-rod is 4-16, the number of the second sub-rod is 4-16, and the number of the third sub-rod is 4-16.

[0017] In some embodiments of the utility model, the number of the second filter rod is 4-16.

[0018] In some embodiments of the utility model, in the expanded state, the first positioning hook is respectively arranged outside the end of the second sub-rod and the end of the third sub-rod.

[0019] In some embodiments of the utility model, the shape of the first positioning hook is different from that of the second positioning hook.

[0020] In some embodiments of the utility model, the lengths of the first positioning hooks are equal.

[0021] In some embodiments of the utility model, the shape of the first positioning hook is 1 / 4 circle, and the radius of the first positioning hook is 0.1-0.5 mm.

[0022] In some embodiments of the utility model, the second positioning hook is arranged outside the end of the second filter rod.

[0023] In some embodiments of the utility model, the lengths of the second positioning hooks are equal.

[0024] In some embodiments of this utility model, the angle between the tangent direction at the connection point of the second positioning hook and the second filter rod is 30 to 60°.

[0025] Due to the application of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0026] This retrievable vena cava filter features a double-layered filtration structure achieved through the height adjustment of the first and second filter rods. The distances from each first filter rod to the central axis are equal, and the distances from each second filter rod to the recovery column are also equal, demonstrating excellent alignment. Furthermore, the arc centers of the first and second filter rods are located on the outer side (away from the axis), creating a concave shape. This, in addition to the aforementioned advantages, also facilitates filter recovery.

[0027] Furthermore, since the angle between the ends of the second and third sub-rods (herringbone filter rods) and the blood vessel wall is relatively large after the filter is released, an arc-shaped positioning hook is preferred; while the angle between the end of the second filter rod and the blood vessel wall is relatively small (almost 0 degrees), the angle between the second positioning hook and the tangent direction at the connection point of the second filter rod is preferably 30-60° (thus forming a Y-shaped structure similar to the end of the second filter rod). This is beneficial for accurate filter positioning and reliable fixation.

[0028] Furthermore, the second filter rod adopts a concave semi-circular shape, which facilitates filter recovery. Existing filter rods are mostly convex, which is not conducive to recovery.

[0029] Furthermore, the second and third sub-bars form a herringbone filter bar, which evenly divides the space away from the axis, preventing emboli from falling off in areas away from the axis. This helps improve the efficiency of thrombus filtration, and the increased support points contribute to the stability of the filter.

[0030] Furthermore, the ends of the first and second filter rods have the same diameter and are coaxial on the circumference. This structure offers good stability, excellent centering, and good anti-detachment properties. The first and second filter rods are evenly distributed on the circumference, resulting in a high thrombus capture rate and filtration effect. It can filter thrombi from multiple angles and directions while minimizing impact on blood flow. In the retracted state, the length of the first filter rod is greater than the length of the second filter rod, ensuring material conservation and reducing production costs.

Figure 1 , for example, in the unfolded state, the first filter rod 3 is a herringbone filter rod.

[0052] In the recyclable inferior vena cava filter provided by the utility model, like Figure 1 and 2 , the top end of the second filter rod 4 is connected with the recovery column 1, and the end of the second filter rod 4 is connected with the second positioning hook 6. In some specific embodiments, like Figure 1 and 2 , for example, in the unfolded state, the second filter rod 4 is a semicircular filter rod. Specifically, the second filter rod 4 is a semicircular filter rod which is away from the axis of the recovery column 1 and has an opening direction close to the recovery column 1.

[0053] When the inferior vena cava filter body is in the unfolded state, like Figure 1 and 2 , the three parts of the first filter rod 3 are unfolded, the first sub-rod 31 and the second sub-rod 32 and the third sub-rod 33 form a herringbone filter rod. The ends of the second sub-rod 32 and the third sub-rod 33 are connected with the first positioning hook 5 and are uniformly distributed on the circumference, the second filter rod 4 is unfolded, the end of the second filter rod 4 is connected with the second positioning hook 6 and is uniformly distributed on the circumference, like Figure 3 , the ends of the first filter rod 3 and the second filter rod 4 are distributed on the same diameter circumference with the axis of the recovery column 1 as the center.
