Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of balloon catheter technology, and in particular to a balloon catheter that is easy to position. Background Technology
[0002] A balloon catheter is a soft catheter with an inflatable balloon at its tip. During catheterization, it is used to widen narrow openings or passages within the body, place a deflated balloon, inflate it again to perform the necessary procedures, and then deflate it again for removal. Some common uses include: angioplasty or balloon diaphragmatic stoma, cardiac catheterization (cardiac catheterization), salpingoplasty via uterine catheterization, and pyeloplasty using a removable inflatable balloon stent, positioned via a cystoscopic transvesical approach. Balloon catheters used in angioplasty can be either over-the-knee (OTW) or rapid exchange (Rx). Rx catheters now account for approximately 90% of interventional procedures. While OTW catheters may still be useful in highly tortuous vascular access, they sacrifice deflation time and maneuverability. When a balloon catheter is used to compress plaque within a blocked coronary artery, it is referred to as conventional old-style balloon angioplasty or POBA. Balloon catheters are also used for stent deployment during angioplasty. The balloon catheter is provided to the catheterization lab with a stent pre-installed on the balloon. When the specialist inflates the balloon, it expands the stent. When the cardiologist then deflates the balloon, the stent remains in the artery, and the balloon catheter can be removed. The stent used in conjunction with a balloon catheter is called a balloon-expandable stent, as opposed to a self-expanding stent typically made of nitinol.
[0003] Patent document N118662762A discloses a balloon catheter, including a balloon segment and a non-balloon segment. The balloon segment consists only of an inner tube, while the non-balloon segment includes an inner tube and an outer tube, with a first space between the inner and outer tubes. The balloon segment includes a first balloon segment, which is surrounded by a first balloon, which is a compliant balloon. The side of the first balloon near the distal end of the balloon catheter is sealed to both the inner and outer tubes, while the side of the first balloon near the proximal end of the balloon catheter is sealed to the outer tube but has a gap with the inner tube. The proximal end of the balloon catheter is provided with a balloon expansion port and an infusion port. The infusion port is connected to the interior of the inner tube, and the balloon expansion port is connected to the first space at the proximal end of the balloon catheter. This allows the size and shape of the compliant balloon to be changed when inflated or inflated through the balloon expansion port, facilitating more reliable occlusion of the Marshall vein and achieving compatibility with vascular structures of different sizes.
[0004] While the aforementioned application facilitates more reliable occlusion of the Marshall vein and achieves compatibility with different vascular structures, it is inconvenient to position the balloon during actual use. This can lead to balloon displacement during subsequent surgical procedures, causing inconvenience to medical staff and increasing the risks associated with catheter use. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model discloses a balloon catheter that is easy to position, aiming to solve the technical problem of positioning the balloon during use and avoiding balloon displacement.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A balloon catheter for easy positioning includes a catheter body, a balloon connected to one side of the catheter body, a connecting tube connected to one end of the catheter body, a guide wire connected to one end of the connecting tube, a limit tube connected to one end of the guide wire, a screw inserted into the surface of the limit tube, and a clamping block rotatably connected to one end of the screw inside the limit tube via a bearing.
[0008] The balloon is secured by a limiting tube and a screw made of plastic. Once the balloon reaches the predetermined position, the screw is tightened, which causes the clamping block to move and compress the balloon, thus fixing the balloon in place and preventing it from shifting, making it convenient for medical staff to use.
[0009] One side of the guide wire is connected to an injection tube, one end of the injection tube is connected to an inclined tube, one side of the inclined tube is connected to a threaded tube, and a valve is connected to the surface of the inclined tube.
[0010] The inclined and threaded tubes facilitate the connection of the catheter body during use, thereby simplifying the perfusion process and improving the ease of operation for medical staff.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the balloon is slightly thinner in the middle and thicker at both ends, and its shape is spindle-shaped after expansion.
[0012] By designing the balloon to be slightly thinner in the middle and thicker at both ends, it achieves a spindle shape after expansion, facilitating subsequent positioning and making it easier for medical staff to operate.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a wrench is fixedly mounted on the top of the screw, the surface of the wrench is provided with anti-slip texture, and a sealing ring is fixedly mounted on one end of the limiting tube.
[0014] The included wrench facilitates operation by medical staff, while the sealing ring protects the catheter and also makes connection easier.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a graduated groove is formed on the surface of the catheter body, and graduated lines are formed inside the graduated groove, with the graduated lines starting from the front end of the catheter body.
[0016] The set scale grooves and scale lines make it easy to observe the length of the tube entering during use.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment, an anti-slip strip is fixedly installed on the surface of the inclined tube, and the surface of the anti-slip strip has anti-slip texture.
[0018] The anti-slip strips increase the protection of the inclined tube during use and also make it easier for medical staff to handle.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment, a handle is fixedly installed on the surface of the connecting tube, and rubber strips are fixedly installed on both sides of the handle. One side of the rubber strips has anti-slip texture, and one side of the handle is fixedly connected to one side of the guide wire tube and the injection tube, respectively.
[0020] The design incorporates handles and rubber strips to facilitate handheld operation by medical staff.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment, an arc-shaped plate is fixedly installed on one side of the infusion tube, and one end of the arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to one side of the guide wire tube.
[0022] The curved plate facilitates the connection between the infusion tube and the guide wire tube, increasing the strength between them.
[0023] As can be seen from the above, the balloon catheter for easy positioning provided by this utility model has the following technical effects.
[0024] Firstly, the balloon is fixed in place by means of a limiting tube and a screw made of plastic. After the balloon reaches the predetermined position, the screw is tightened, which causes the screw to move the clamping block to compress it, thereby fixing the balloon in place and preventing it from shifting, making it convenient for medical staff to use.
[0025] Secondly, the inclined tube and threaded tube facilitate the connection of the catheter body during use, which in turn facilitates the perfusion operation and improves the ease of operation for medical staff. Attached Figure Description
