Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically an integrated guidewire and catheter deformation and storage device. Background Technology
[0002] Guidewires can be used to treat cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, oncological diseases, ophthalmic diseases, gynecological diseases, etc. They are medical devices used to guide catheters, stents, etc. to target sites in blood vessels and other cavities. They can be used to treat cardiovascular diseases such as coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction, acute heart failure, and aortic dissection. They can be used to treat blood vessels in the heart, brain, and carotid arteries. Guidewires can be inserted into various parts of blood vessels to clear blockages and achieve therapeutic goals. In interventional procedures, there are many types of guidewires and catheters used in large quantities. After the procedure, they need to be manually deformed and placed in a sharps container, which wastes a lot of time for staff. The deformation process may also cause iatrogenic occupational exposure such as sharps injuries to medical staff.
[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN118341784A proposes a device and method for deforming guidewires, including a deforming box. Inside the deforming box is a deforming mechanism for winding guidewires. The deforming mechanism includes a deforming column, which is a hexagonal prism structure. A second motor is fixed to the upper end of the deforming box. The output shaft of the second motor is connected to a rotating shaft that extends into the deforming box. The deforming column is fixed to the lower end of the rotating shaft. Each of the six facets of the deforming column has a wire inlet hole. A wire retraction port communicating with the wire inlet hole is opened at the lower end of the deforming column. A hexagonal winding groove is opened on the outer edge of the deforming column and communicates with the wire inlet hole.

[0040] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0041] Combination Figures 1-4 This application provides an integrated guidewire and catheter destruction and storage device, including a box assembly 10; the box assembly 10 includes an outer box 11; a top plate 12, slidably connected to the top of the outer box 11; a handle 13, fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 12; a sharps inlet 14, disposed on one side of the outer box 11; and a guidewire and catheter inlet 15, opened on one side of the outer box 11, located above the sharps inlet 14;
[0042] The top plate 12 is slidably connected to the top of the outer box 11. The top plate 12 can be removed for cleaning and maintenance. The sharp instrument inlet 14 is located below the guide wire inlet 15. The sharp instrument enters the outer box 11 directly through the sharp instrument inlet 14, and the guide wire enters the outer box 11 through the guide wire inlet 15.
[0043] The inner wall of the outer casing 11 is provided with a guide wire and conduit cutting assembly 20 on one side of the guide wire and conduit inlet 15. The guide wire and conduit cutting assembly 20 includes a cutting mounting plate 21, symmetrically arranged on one side of the guide wire and conduit inlet 15; a photoelectric switch 22, disposed on the inner wall of the cutting mounting plate 21; a guide roller 23, rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cutting mounting plate 21; a guide motor 24, mounted on the outer wall of the cutting mounting plate 21, with its output shaft connected to one end of the guide roller 23; a cutting and crushing roller 25, rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cutting mounting plate 21; and a cutting motor 26, mounted on the outer wall of the cutting mounting plate 21, with its output shaft connected to one end of the cutting and crushing roller 25.
[0044] When the guide wire enters the guide wire cutting assembly 20 through the guide wire inlet 15, it receives an electrical signal through the photoelectric switch 22, which controls the guide motor 24 and the cutting motor 26 to work simultaneously. The guide motor 24 drives the guide roller 23 to rotate, and the guide roller 23 drives the guide wire to be conveyed into the cutting and crushing roller 25. The cutting and crushing roller 25 crushes and destroys the guide wire, and the destroyed guide wire falls into the conveying assembly 30 below.
[0045] The inner sidewall of the outer box 11 is provided with a conveying assembly 30 below the guide wire and guide tube cutting assembly 20. The conveying assembly 30 includes a conveyor belt 31, which is located below the guide wire and guide tube cutting assembly 20; and a photoelectric switch 32, which is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor belt 31.
[0046] When the sharp instrument and the deformed guide wire enter the conveyor belt 31, the photoelectric switch 32 receives an electrical signal, causing the photoelectric switch 32 to control the conveyor belt 31 to work, so that the conveyor belt 31 transports the sharp instrument and the deformed guide wire into the sharp instrument box 50 for storage.
[0047] The inner side wall of the outer box 11 is snapped into the sharp object box 50;
[0048] The sharps box 50 is installed inside the outer box 11 by plugging and unplugging, and can be quickly replaced by plugging and unplugging.
[0049] In some embodiments, the housing assembly 10 further includes a photoelectric switch 16, which is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the outer housing 11 and has its top in contact with the bottom surface of the top plate 12. By setting the photoelectric switch 16, which is electrically connected to the power supply, all power can be automatically cut off when the top plate 12 is opened, preventing internal components from working when the top plate 12 is opened for cleaning and maintenance, and preventing accidental injury.
[0050] In some embodiments, the cutting and crushing roller 25 consists of a roller body and four blades disposed on the outer wall of the roller body. There are two cutting and crushing rollers 25 in total, and the two cutting and crushing rollers 25 work synchronously to crush the guide wire.
[0051] In some embodiments, a crushing assembly 40 is provided between the conveying assembly 30 and the sharps box 50. The crushing assembly 40 includes a crushing mounting plate 41, which is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the outer box 11; a crushing roller 42, at least two of which are rotatably connected to the outer side wall of the crushing mounting plate 41; a crushing motor 43, which is mounted on the outer side wall of the crushing mounting plate 41 and whose output shaft is connected to one end of the crushing roller 42; and a crushing plate 44, which is disposed below the crushing roller 42. The crushing plate 44 is arranged at an incline below the crushing roller 42 with an incline angle of 15 degrees, which facilitates the crushed sharps or guide wires to fall into the sharps box 50.
[0052] In some embodiments, by setting up a crushing assembly 40, when a sharp object or a deformed guide wire enters the area of the crushing assembly 40, the crushing motor 43 (which is electrically connected to the photoelectric switch 32 and is started synchronously when conveying objects) is activated, causing the crushing motor 43 to drive the crushing roller 42 to rotate, so that the crushing roller 42 crushes the sharp object or guide wire, further deforming the sharp object and guide wire, and compressing the sharp object and guide wire, thereby increasing the storage space of the sharp object box 50.
[0053] In some embodiments, an infrared sensor 60 is provided at the upper two-thirds of the interior of the sharps box 50. The infrared sensor 60 consists of an infrared sensor switch and an alarm. By setting the infrared sensor 60, once the sharps box 50 is filled to two-thirds, the machine will automatically stop working and issue an alarm to remind the user to replace the sharps box 50 in time.
[0054] In some embodiments, the box assembly 10 is provided with an electric push rod 70 inside. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 70 is engaged with one side of the sharps box 50. By setting the electric push rod 70, it can automatically pop out when it is two-thirds full. After replacement, the sharps box 50 can be retracted into the box assembly 10 by the electric push rod 70.

Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
