Detailed Implementation

[0018] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0019] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] like Figs. 1-2As shown, a dual-balloon delivery device for treating stone impaction during ERCP includes a rubber core 2. The rubber core 2 has a first channel 21 for injecting water or air and a guidewire channel 1 for threading a zebra guidewire 1 along its length. The first channel 21 is a through-hole design, and the foremost end of the first channel 22 is located at the balloon 3.

[0022] The first balloon 3 is fixedly sleeved on the front end of the rubber inner core 2. To ensure the sealing of the first balloon 3 during use and to prevent the first balloon 3 from sliding, the front and rear ends of the first balloon 3 are respectively provided with first fixing rubber 31. On the other hand, in order to realize the communication between the first balloon 3 and the first channel 21, the front end side wall of the first channel 21 is provided with a connection port 30, and the connection port 30 communicates with the inside of the balloon 3.

[0023] The front end of the rubber inner core 2 is integrally provided with a front end inner core 20. The diameter of the front end inner core 20 gradually increases from the front end to the rear end. By using a front end inner core 20 that is thinnest at the front end and gradually thickens at the rear end, it can be ensured that the front end inner core 20 can smoothly pass through the stone impaction site with the first balloon 3. Combined with the zebra guidewire 1, it can ensure the movement trajectory of the first balloon 3, so that the first balloon 3 can clamp the stone at the front end, making it easier to push the stone back to the upper part of the bile duct for re-removal.

[0024] The inner tube 4 is slidably sleeved on the rubber inner core 2. Specifically, the inner tube 4 has two channels inside. One is a second channel 41, which is used to inject water or air into the second balloon 5. The other is a main pipe through which the entire inner core 2 passes. This main pipe is designed to pass through the entire inner core 2.

[0025] The second balloon 5 is sleeved at the front end of the inner tube 4. To ensure the sealing of the second balloon 5 during use and to prevent the second balloon 5 from sliding, second fixing rubber 51 is provided at both the front and rear ends of the second balloon 5. On the other hand, in order to realize the communication between the second balloon 5 and the second channel 41, a connection port 50 is provided on the front side wall of the second channel 41, and the connection port 50 communicates with the interior of the second balloon 5.

[0026] In order to enable the second balloon 5 to slide on the inner core 2, a sheath 7 is also slidably disposed on the inner core 2, and the sheath 7 is located on the rear side of the second balloon 5.

[0027] To enable the injection of water or air into the first balloon 3 and the second balloon 5, three-way valves 6 are respectively installed at the inlet ends of the first channel 21 and the second channel 41. One of the two three-way valves 6 is connected to the first channel 21 or the second channel 41, and the other two are connected to the air supply and water supply pipelines, respectively.

[0028] How to use this device:

[0029] First, the inner core 2 with zebra guide wire 1 is passed above the embedded stone. Then, air or water is injected into the first balloon 3 to fix the inner core 2 to the bile duct wall. Next, the second balloon 5 is inserted through the inner core 2 and an appropriate amount of gas or water is injected into the second balloon 5 to inflate it below the stone. Then, by pushing the sheath 7 inward and pulling the inner core 2 outward, the stone is pushed into the upper part of the bile duct by applying force from both ends towards the middle.

[0030] The embodiments described above merely illustrate specific implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
