[0024] The following detailed, non-limiting description of the utility model's technical solution, in conjunction with preferred embodiments and accompanying drawings, is provided. In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a stent according to one embodiment of this utility model, applied in the airway or esophagus, mainly includes a skeleton 1 and an inner liner 2. The skeleton 1 is a hollow tubular structure with a mesh structure on its surface. The inner liner 2 is attached to the inner surface of the skeleton 1, and the outer wall of the inner liner 2 has multiple protrusions 20. The protrusions 20 pass through the mesh 10 of the skeleton 1, are exposed on the outside of the skeleton 1, and fit against the inner wall of the airway or esophagus, so that a gap is formed between the outer surface of the skeleton 1 and the inner wall of the airway or esophagus. By setting the inner liner 2 to be attached to the inner surface of the skeleton 1, it can prevent tumors or granulation tissue from growing along the mesh structure and causing restenosis of the airway or esophagus. This makes it suitable for both short-term and long-term patients and avoids the situation where pure metal stents cannot be removed. In addition, the protrusions 20 on the inner liner 2 can increase the friction between the stent and the airway or esophagus wall, making the stent less prone to displacement. Furthermore, by setting the protrusions 20, a gap is formed between the stent and the airway or esophagus wall, thus reducing the risk of secretion retention and infection.

[0026] In this embodiment, multiple protrusions 20 are evenly distributed on the outer peripheral surface of the inner liner membrane 2. By setting multiple protrusions 20, the friction between the support and the airway or esophageal wall is increased, ensuring that the contact between the entire support and the airway or esophageal wall is more stable and preventing the support from shifting in the airway or esophagus.

[0027] In this embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the protrusion 20 is in interference fit with the inner peripheral wall of the mesh 10, making the connection between the skeleton 1 and the inner liner 2 more stable and preventing the inner liner 2 from falling off.

[0028] In this embodiment, the protrusions 20 are integrally formed with the inner lining film 2 and are cylindrical, but can also be rectangular or other shapes, and the shape can be customized according to the actual needs of the patient.

[0029] In this embodiment, the thickness of the part of the protrusion 20 exposed outside the framework 1 is 1-1.5 mm.

[0030] The outer wall of the inner lining film 2 covers the projection of the mesh 10 of the framework 1 on the outer wall of the inner lining film 2, avoiding the growth of tumor or granulation tissue along the mesh 10 to cause restenosis of the airway or esophagus, making it suitable for short-term and long-term patients.

[0031] The material of the inner lining film 2 is preferably silicone rubber.

[0032] The inner wall of the inner lining film 2 is a smooth surface, which is beneficial to the flow of substances.

[0033] The axial end of the inner lining film 2 exceeds the axial end of the framework 1 by 1-1.5 mm, which can reduce the stimulation of the end of the framework 1 to the mucosa on the wall of the airway or esophagus, thereby preventing the proliferation of granulation tissue.

[0034] The framework 1 is a mesh structure made of nickel-titanium memory alloy, specifically a mesh structure woven by one or more nickel-titanium memory alloy wires with a diameter of 0.2-0.3 mm. The framework 1 can be made into different diameters and shapes, has good compliance, is easy to place and remove, and the two ends of the framework 1 are provided with a recovery line to facilitate the removal of the stent.

[0035] As shown in Figure 2 The framework 1 includes a main body 3 and expansion portions 4 formed at both ends of the main body 3. The diameter of the expansion portion 4 is 2-2.5 mm larger than that of the main body 3, and the axial length of the expansion portion 4 is 5-6 mm. The expansion portion 4 and the main body 3 are smoothly transitioned, and the stent can be prevented from displacing in the airway or esophagus to a certain extent by providing the expansion portion 4. In this embodiment, the stability of the stent in the airway or esophagus is greatly improved by the double protection of the expansion portion 4 and the plurality of protrusions 20, and the displacement of the stent in the airway or esophagus is basically avoided.

[0036] In addition, the two ends of the framework 1 adopt a closed structure, i.e., the diameter of the opening at both ends of the framework 1 is smaller than the diameter of the expansion portion 4. The closed structure can prevent the end of the framework 1 from stimulating the tracheal wall to produce granulation tissue.

[0037] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the utility model, the description is more specific and detailed, but can not therefore be understood as the limitation of the utility model patent range. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled person in the art, without departing from the utility model concept, several deformations and improvements can be made, which belong to the protection range of the utility model. Therefore, the protection range of the utility model patent should be subject to the appended claims.
