AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When existing epidural catheters break, the breakage point is difficult to observe clearly under X-ray, which affects the treatment effect.

Method used

A pre-reserved cavity is provided in the inner wall of the catheter body, which is filled with liquid or solid radiopaque material. When the liquid radiopaque material overflows or the solid radiopaque material breaks, it releases elastic potential energy, thereby increasing the distance between the break points and facilitating X-ray observation.

Benefits of technology

By observing the movement or expansion of the imaging material, the duct breakage point can be clearly displayed, improving the visualization of the breakage point and ensuring timely detection and treatment.

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model clearer, the utility model technical scheme will be described clearly and completely in combination with the utility model specific embodiments and corresponding drawings below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] The technical scheme provided by each embodiment of the utility model will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0025] The utility model embodiment provides a kind of developing anesthesia catheter, including catheter body 1, the inner wall of catheter body 1 is equipped with reserved cavity 2, and the inside of reserved cavity 2 is filled with developing material 3, and when catheter body 1 breaks, developing material 3 in reserved cavity 2 can move, to cooperate developing instrument can help doctor to locate the broken catheter body 1 quickly in emergency, will be described in detail in combination with specific implementation mode as follows:

[0026] As Figure 2 As shown, the first embodiment provided by the utility model, developing material 3 is liquid developing material 31, can adopt iohexol, iopamidol etc. and the harm to human body is less, and the metabolic process in body is relatively simple, and developing material 3 can be discharged outside by kidney, when catheter body 1 breaks, liquid developing material 3 can overflow, the area of developing material 3 at breaking point is larger at this time, and the position of breaking point can be observed by developing instrument.

[0027] As Figure 3As shown, this is the second embodiment provided by the present invention. The developing material 3 is a solid developing material 32, and the solid developing material 32 is made of polylactic acid. Both ends of the solid developing material 32 are fixedly connected to both ends of the reserved cavity 2, and it can be distributed inside the reserved cavity 2 in a stretched state. Polylactic acid is a thermoplastic polyester with a certain degree of stretchability. When the polylactic acid material is placed in the reserved cavity 2 in a stretched state, elastic potential energy accumulates inside the polylactic acid material. When the polylactic acid material breaks, this elastic potential energy is released, and the polylactic acid solids at both ends of the break point move in opposite directions, thereby increasing the distance between the polylactic acid materials at both ends of the break point. This energy is then transferred through the developing instrument. When observing with a device, it is easy to check, and it is a biodegradable material that can be decomposed into lactic acid in the body and eventually absorbed by the human body. Unlike the first implementation method, when the catheter body 1 is broken, the solid contrast material 32 will not flow out of the catheter body 1, reducing the impact of the contrast material 3 on the human body. Although the liquid contrast material 31 requires a certain amount of time to be metabolized in the patient's body when it overflows compared to the solid polylactic acid contrast material 32, leakage can occur when the catheter body 1 is not completely broken, but only at the break point, so that the problem of the catheter body 1 can be detected in time.

[0028] Furthermore, the maximum transverse cross-sectional dimension of the solid imaging material 32 is smaller than the inner diameter of the catheter body 1, resulting in a gap 4 between the solid imaging material 32 and the catheter body 1. This allows the solid imaging material 32 to curl up inside the catheter body 1 when it breaks. If the cross-section of the solid imaging material 3 is circular, that is, the outer diameter of the solid imaging material 3 is smaller than the inner diameter of the catheter body 1, the solid imaging material 32 and the reserved cavity 2 are not tightly fitted, but have a certain amount of space. This allows the solid imaging material 32 to move freely inside the catheter body 1 to a certain extent. In particular, after the solid imaging material 32 breaks, there is enough space for it to curl up, which increases the distance between the two ends of the break point.

[0029] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, there are multiple reserved cavities 2, and these multiple reserved cavities 2 are equidistantly arranged around the axis of the catheter body 1. The imaging material 3 can play a role from multiple positions. During imaging examinations, the position of the catheter body 1 can be more easily found from any angle. For example, in X-ray examinations, imaging from multiple directions can ensure that the catheter body 1 can be clearly located in the complex three-dimensional space inside the body, avoiding the situation where some catheters are difficult to observe due to uneven distribution of imaging material 3.

[0030] like Figure 6As shown, the number of the reserved cavities 2 can also be one, and the reserved cavities 2 are sleeved outside the inner core of the catheter body 1, compared with multiple reserved cavities 2, the manufacturing cost and difficulty are lower, the reserved cavities 2 surrounding the inner core can provide continuous developing effect, in the imaging examination, the outline of the catheter body 1 can be clearly displayed, that is, a ring is drawn outside the catheter body 1 to develop, and the continuous development is helpful to judge whether the catheter body 1 is abnormal, such as twisting, folding and the like.

[0031] The above merely describes the embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. The present application can be variously changed and modified by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the scope of the claims of the present application.
