Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of medical apparatus and medical consumables, is used for the oocyte retrieval of human assisted reproductive technology (assisted reproductive technology, ART), and specifically relates to a flushing connecting device and double-cavity oocyte collector capable of efficient operation. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous progress of ART, transvaginal ultrasound-guided puncture oocyte retrieval gradually becomes the routine operation of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) treatment in major reproductive centers. The oocyte retrieval needle (oocyte collector) passes through the support fixed on the transvaginal ultrasound probe, reaches the ovary through the vaginal wall, and can sequentially aspirate each dominant follicle on the same guide wire. At present, the oocyte retrieval needle is mainly divided into single-cavity oocyte retrieval needle and double-cavity oocyte retrieval needle, and most of them rely on imports, and the proportion of domestic products is quite low. Compared with the single-cavity oocyte retrieval needle, the double-cavity oocyte retrieval needle not only can aspirate follicular fluid, but also can repeatedly flush the follicle cavity (including the circulation operation steps such as taking the tube- aspirating-pushing), which is beneficial to improve the oocyte retrieval rate and is commonly used for IVF patients with fewer dominant follicles.

[0003] However, in the process of clinical application, the use of the current double-cavity oocyte retrieval needle also has the following disadvantages:

[0004] (1) easy to be contaminated: in order to repeatedly flush, the syringe needs to be taken into the flushing liquid container containing sterile flushing liquid for aspiration many times, which increases the probability of contaminating the sterile flushing liquid;

[0005] (2) professional exposure of the operator: in order to repeatedly flush, the syringe needle and needle cap need to be removed and put on many times to aspirate and push the sterile flushing liquid, which increases the risk of needle stick injury of the operating doctor;

[0006] (3) affecting the quality of oocytes: oocytes are valuable and fragile, and are extremely sensitive to temperature changes. However, in order to repeatedly flush, the flushing liquid container needs to be taken out of the constant temperature rack many times for aspiration by the syringe, which causes large fluctuations in the temperature of the sterile flushing liquid and affects the quality of oocytes;

[0007] (4) poor feeling of the operator: using a small capacity syringe to push is more smooth, but it needs to be taken out and aspirated many times, which increases the operational complexity, prolongs the oocyte retrieval operation time, and causes fluctuations in the temperature of the sterile flushing liquid; using a large capacity syringe can reduce the aspiration frequency, but it is more laborious to push, and the sterile flushing liquid in the large capacity syringe is prone to cooling.

[0008] The double-cavity oocyte collector disclosed in the Chinese patent application with the application number 2024201587411 solves the above problems, but in the subsequent practice, the inventor finds that the double-cavity oocyte collector still has defects in use, mainly in that: the three-way joint needs to be repeatedly rotated to switch the connection of the pipeline, and air cannot be completely prevented from entering the follicle cavity, which affects the operation efficiency. Therefore, the inventor optimizes and improves the double-cavity oocyte collector. Utility model content

[0049] The use method of the double-cavity oocyte collector of the embodiment includes the following steps:

[0050] (1) Preparation and connection:

[0051] As shown in Figure 5 , when in use, the double-cavity oocyte collector is connected according to its structure, the syringe 17 is connected to the second port 102 of the three-way joint, the negative pressure suction joint 11 is connected to an external negative pressure suction device, the flushing liquid container plug 3 is plugged into the flushing liquid container 15 containing sterile flushing liquid, the position of the hard connecting tube 4 is adjusted so that the tail end of the hard connecting tube 4 is located at the bottom of the flushing liquid container 15, the follicular fluid container plug 10 is plugged into the follicular fluid container 16, and the flushing liquid container 15 and the follicular fluid container 16 are both vertically placed in a constant temperature rack which keeps the flushing liquid container 15 and the follicular fluid container 16 at a set temperature.

[0052] (2) Exhaustion and oocyte collection:

[0053] The syringe 17 is pulled, and a negative pressure is formed in the syringe 17. The sterile flushing liquid in the flushing liquid container 15 passes through the flushing liquid suction tube 2 and the first one-way valve 13 into the three-way joint 1 and then into the syringe 17. Then the syringe 17 is pushed, and under the blockage of the first one-way valve 13, the sterile flushing liquid can only be output through the second one-way valve 14, enter the flushing cavity of the double-cavity oocyte collection needle cannula 8 through the flushing tube 7, and finally fill the flushing cavity of the double-cavity oocyte collection needle cannula 8 with sterile flushing liquid to exhaust the gas in the flushing cavity.

[0054] Then, under the guidance of transvaginal ultrasound, the double-cavity oocyte collection needle cannula 8 is punctured into the filled follicular cavity. The negative pressure suction device is turned on, and the follicular fluid in the follicular cavity is sequentially sucked into the follicular fluid container 16 through the suction cavity of the double-cavity oocyte collection needle cannula 8 and the follicular fluid suction tube 9 under the action of negative pressure.

[0055] (3) Flushing and suction:

[0056] After the follicular fluid in the follicular cavity is completely sucked out, the negative pressure is stopped, and the syringe 17 is continuously pushed so that the sterile flushing liquid in the syringe 17 continues to be pushed into the follicular cavity through the flushing cavity of the double-cavity oocyte collection needle cannula 8. After the follicular cavity is filled again, the negative pressure is turned on again, and the double-cavity oocyte collection needle cannula 8 sucks out the sterile flushing liquid in the follicular cavity. The sterile flushing liquid enters the follicular fluid container 16 through the follicular fluid suction tube 9, and the single-time follicular cavity flushing operation is completed.

[0057] When the sterile flushing liquid in the syringe 17 is exhausted, the syringe 17 is pulled again to suck the sterile flushing liquid in the flushing liquid container 15. After the sucking is completed, the next flushing and suction can be performed.

[0058] When the sterile flushing liquid in one flushing liquid container 15 is used up, the flushing liquid container plug 3 can be pulled out and then plugged into another flushing liquid container 15 containing sterile flushing liquid to complete the replacement.

[0059] The above step (3) is repeated, and the follicle cavity of each dominant follicle is repeatedly flushed to complete the high-efficiency collection of the oocytes.

[0060] The above embodiments of the utility model are not the limitation of the protection scope of the utility model, and the implementation mode of the utility model is not limited to this, and according to the above content of the utility model, according to the ordinary technical knowledge and conventional means in the art, other various forms of modification, replacement or change of the above structure of the utility model are made without departing from the above basic technical thought of the utility model, and all should fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
