Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a Y valve. Background Technology
[0002] In stent thrombectomy, a Y-valve is required. The current structure of the Y-valve includes a main tube and a branch tube. A locking valve is fixedly connected to the main tube. The locking valve includes a hemostatic valve and a fixation valve. The thrombectomy stent guidewire or microguidewire can pass through the locking valve and be fixed.
[0003] In conventional stent thrombectomy, negative pressure aspiration is required, and a combination of suction and retraction is necessary to achieve optimal thrombectomy results. Before applying negative pressure aspiration, the locking valve must be tightened to prevent outside air from entering the aspiration tubing, thus maintaining continuous negative pressure while allowing the stent guidewire to be pulled out from the locking valve. Since stent thrombectomy is not always successful on the first attempt, a second or third stent placement may be necessary. Because stent thrombectomy can affect local blood vessels, making it difficult for the microguidewire to pass through again, preserving the microguidewire in the true lumen of the blood vessel during stent thrombectomy becomes crucial. When both the stent guidewire and microguidewire pass through a single locking valve, a gap can form between the two guidewires and stents. Even with the locking valve tightened, this reduces the effectiveness of negative pressure aspiration and increases the risk of air embolism, as outside air can enter the aspiration tubing through this gap during aspiration. Utility Model Content

[0020] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.
[0022] Example 1
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a Y-valve, including a main pipe 1, a branch pipe 2 and a suction pipe 4 connected to the main pipe 1, and a locking valve 3 detachably connected to the top of both the main pipe 1 and the branch pipe 2. The side wall of the main pipe 1 has a first notch 5, and the side wall of the branch pipe 2 has a second notch 6. The tops of the first notch 5 and the second notch 6 are open, and the bottoms of the first notch 5 and the second notch 6 are connected. A first sealing plate 7 is slidably disposed inside the main pipe 1, which can close or open the first notch 5. A second sealing plate 8 is slidably disposed inside the branch pipe 2, which can close or open the second notch 6.
[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, a Y-valve is required during stent thrombectomy. The current structure of the Y-valve includes a main tube 1 and a branch tube 2. A locking valve 3 is connected to the main tube 1. The locking valve 3 includes a hemostatic valve and a fixation valve. The stent guidewire or microguidewire can pass through the locking valve and be fixed. The locking valve 3 is designed to completely lock and seal after one of the stent guidewires or microguidewires passes through it. However, when both stent guidewires and microguidewires pass through simultaneously, a gap will remain after locking.
[0025] During stent thrombectomy, both the microguidewire and the stent wire need to be passed through the locking valve simultaneously, while the aspiration device is connected to branch 2 for negative pressure aspiration. Because the microguidewire and stent wire pass through the locking valve at the same time, leakage can occur. During aspiration, air can enter branch 2 from the locking valve, preventing the achievement of complete vacuum aspiration and resulting in poor surgical outcomes.
[0026] In this embodiment, a branch pipe 2 and a suction pipe 4 are connected to the main pipe 1. A locking valve 3 is detachably connected to the top of the main pipe 1 and the branch pipe 2. A first notch 5 and a second notch 6 are respectively opened on the main pipe 1 and the branch pipe 2. A first sealing plate 7 and a second sealing plate 8 that can close or open the first notch 5 and the second notch 6 are respectively provided on the main pipe 1 and the branch pipe 2. In practical use, during the introduction of microcatheters and stents, both the microguidewire and stent guidewire are passed through the locking valve 3 on the main tube 1. After the introduction is completed, when performing negative pressure aspiration, the locking valves 3 on both the main tube 1 and the branch tube 2 are removed, and the first notch 5 and the second notch 6 are opened. Then, the microguidewire is moved through the first notch 5 and the second notch 6 into the branch tube 2. The first notch 5 and the second notch 6 are then closed, and the locking valves 3 on the main tube 1 and the branch tube 2 are installed respectively. The microguidewire and stent guidewire are passed through the two locking valves 3 respectively and fixed. The aspiration device is connected to the aspiration tube 4 for negative pressure aspiration. In this way, the microguidewire and stent guidewire are fixed by one locking valve 3 respectively. After fixing, there will be no gap. During negative pressure aspiration, gas will not enter through the locking valve, which can achieve complete negative pressure aspiration and improve the surgical effect.
[0027] In this technical solution, the stent guidewire and micro guidewire are controlled by different locking valves, which will not cause the risk of air embolism.
[0028] In this embodiment, when the first sealing plate 7 closes the first gap 5 and the second sealing plate 8 closes the second gap 6, the bottom end of the second sealing plate 8 contacts the outer wall of the first sealing plate 7. This achieves complete closure of the first gap 5 and the second gap 6.
[0029] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the main pipe 1 is provided with a first sliding groove, and a first slider is connected to the first sealing plate 7. The first slider is slidably connected to the first sliding groove. In this embodiment, the sliding connection of the first sealing plate 7 is achieved through the cooperation of the first sliding groove and the first slider. In actual use, there is friction between the first sliding groove and the first slider, and a certain external force is required to drive the first slider to move.
[0030] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the first sealing plate 7 is connected to the first actuating post 9. The first actuating post 9 is provided in this embodiment to facilitate the movement of the first sealing plate 7, thereby opening or closing the first notch 5.
[0031] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the branch pipe 2 is provided with a second sliding groove, and a second slider is connected to the second sealing plate 8. The second slider is slidably connected to the second sliding groove. In this embodiment, the sliding connection of the second sealing plate 8 is achieved through the cooperation of the second sliding groove and the second slider. In actual use, there is friction between the second sliding groove and the second slider, and a certain external force is required to drive the second slider to move.
[0032] In this embodiment, a second actuating post 10 is connected to the outer wall of the second sealing plate 8. The second actuating post 10 is provided in this embodiment to facilitate the movement of the second sealing plate 8, thereby opening or closing the second notch 6.
[0033] In this embodiment, the locking valve 3 on the main pipe 1 is threadedly connected to the top of the main pipe 1. In this embodiment, the locking valve 3 is detachably connected to the main pipe 1 through a threaded connection.
[0034] In this embodiment, the locking valve 3 on the branch pipe 2 is threadedly connected to the top end of the branch pipe 2. In this embodiment, the locking valve 3 is detachably connected to the branch pipe 2 through a threaded connection.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it.
