[0033] As Figure 1As shown, the catheter of the embodiment comprises a catheter body 1, a first air bag 2, an inflation channel 3 and a negative pressure indicating channel 4. The first air bag 2 is in the shape of a suction cup when inflated and is sleeved on the catheter body 1 near the urine inlet 10. The inflation channel 3 is in communication with the first air bag 2 for inflating or filling the first air bag 2 with liquid. The negative pressure indicating channel 4 is provided with a suction inlet 40 at one end, which is arranged below the first air bag 2. The diameter of the catheter body 1 is usually smaller than that of the urethra, which facilitates the insertion of the catheter body 1 into the urethra and reduces the damage to the urethra. At the same time, higher requirements are placed on the sealing of the bladder opening during drainage to avoid urine leakage and inflammation of the urethra. It is particularly pointed out that the drainage is usually required because the urethra is damaged and the entry of urine into the urethra will cause inflammation of the urethra, which is not conducive to recovery. The first air bag 2 adopted in the present application is in the shape of a suction cup when inflated, which can better cover the bladder opening after being fixed. In addition, due to the urine pressure, the first air bag 2 is firmly fixed at the position of the bladder opening. The negative pressure indicating channel 4 has two functions. Firstly, it provides conditions for forming a negative pressure below the first air bag 2, which makes the adsorption more tightly and prevents the first air bag 2 from being loosened. Secondly, even if the first air bag 2 is displaced, the leaked urine will flow into the negative pressure indicating channel 4 through the suction inlet 40 and then flow out of the body, avoiding the direct discharge of urine into the urethra. In addition, the urine flowing out of the negative pressure indicating channel 4 will also prompt medical staff to pay attention, which not only plays a temporary treatment role but also plays a prompting role, facilitating early detection and correction by medical staff.
[0034] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in use, the catheter body 1 is inserted into the bladder of the patient, and then the first air bag 2 is inflated or filled with liquid through the inflation channel 3. Both inflation and filling with liquid can be used, or a mixture of the two can be filled, so that the first air bag 2 is inflated and expanded. The first air bag 2 is in the shape of a suction cup when inflated, and the first air bag 2 is inverted downward and in abutment with the bladder wall 90, covering the bladder opening. The negative pressure indicating channel 4 generates a negative pressure, and a negative pressure interval is formed below the first air bag 2 through the suction inlet 40. Due to the negative pressure below the first air bag 2, the first air bag 2 is firmly adsorbed to the bladder wall 90, thereby offsetting the upward force generated by the urine, avoiding urine leakage, and making the fixation of the catheter body 1 more stable, avoiding the pulling of the urethra, and reducing the occurrence of urethritis and discomfort. It is particularly pointed out that when the second air bag 5 is not provided, the negative pressure indicating channel 4 may need to continuously generate negative pressure to offset the loss of pressure.
[0035] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown in some embodiments of the utility model, according to some embodiments of the utility model, still include second air bag 5, second air bag 5 is annular in the state of filling, and is sleeved in the lower side of catheter body 1 close to suction port 40. By increasing second air bag 5, can be realized in the urine inlet 10 one end of catheter body 1 is sent into the bladder of patient, makes second air bag 5 fill, in the state of filling, second air bag 5 is contacted with urethral wall 91, thereby reaches the effect of sealing urethra, can avoid the leakage, urine continues to leak downward, can better facilitate the upper negative pressure interval, at this time, the negative pressure indication channel 4 can not need to continuously generate negative pressure, only needs to maintain negative pressure. Preferably, second air bag 5 is sleeved in the lower side of catheter body 1 close to suction port 40 about 1cm position. It is particularly pointed out that the contact of second air bag 5 and urethral wall 91 cannot be overfilling, is easy to cause urethral discomfort, only as contact seal, cannot realize fixed function.
[0036] In some embodiments of the utility model, the second air bag 5 is communicated with the inflation channel 3, and the inflation channel 3 is used for inflating or filling the second air bag 5. The inflation channel 3 can be communicated with the first air bag 2 and the second air bag 5 at the same time, that is, the inflation channel 3 can inflate the first air bag 2 and the second air bag 5 at the same time, which is convenient for use and operation and saves the occupied space. The inflation channel 3 inflates or fills the second air bag 5, and both inflation and filling can be used, or the mixture of the two can be filled. The above is the preferred embodiment of the application, and the inflation channels 3 of the first air bag 2 and the second air bag 5 can be independent and separated from each other, such as the above-mentioned deformation, which should be included in the protection scope of the application.

The negative pressure indication channel 4 occupies a larger part of the space, and the inflation channel 3 only needs to occupy a small part of the space. In the preferred scheme, the inflation channel 3 is surrounded by the arc-shaped partition and the outer tube 12 to form an oval channel, and extends along the length direction, covers the inflation port of the first air bag 2, the inflation port of the second air bag 5 and the inflation port of the inflation assembly 6, and is sealed at both ends to form an independent channel; and the negative pressure indication channel 4 is mainly surrounded by the inner tube 11, the outer tube 12 and the partitions at both ends to form, and the cross section is C-shaped, so as to cover multiple suction ports 40.

The multiple suction ports 40 are equally spaced along the circumferential direction of the catheter body 1, so even if some suction ports 40 become blocked, others can still provide negative pressure, preventing structural failure. Multiple suction ports 40 can also be arranged in the longitudinal direction; this application does not impose any limitations. Dividing the negative pressure indicating channel 4 into multiple channels also provides a certain degree of anti-blocking effect, preventing impurities from entering and completely blocking the negative pressure indicating channel 4, providing a redundant design solution. The independent channels at the bottom of the negative pressure indicating channel 4 can be interconnected, ultimately connecting to the connection port of the negative pressure component 7.
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, one end of the catheter body 1 is bullet-shaped, and the inlet 10 is evenly distributed on the side wall of the catheter body 1. The bullet-shaped end of the catheter body 1 facilitates the passage of the catheter body 1 through the urethra during insertion; while the inlet 10 is located on the side wall of the catheter body 1, the direction of fluid flow tends to be horizontal, allowing catheterization to begin from the bottom of the bladder and carrying out sediment, reducing sediment retention.
[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, the end of the catheter body 1 is provided with a urine inlet 10 (not shown in the figure). The urine inlet 10 at the end is an alternative solution; during drainage, it can increase catheterization efficiency. When not used for drainage, it also expands the catheter's other uses, such as serving as an irrigation tube. Through the urine inlet 10 at the end, which acts as an outlet, bladder irrigation can be achieved. All related functions achieved using this structure should be included within the scope of protection of this application, and will not be listed here individually.
[0041] In some embodiments of this invention, the bottom of the first airbag 2 is provided with a striped ring. The striped ring at the bottom of the first airbag 2 is similar to multiple annular pleats, which can both increase the friction at the bottom and improve the airtightness.
