Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ophthalmic medical device technology, and in particular to a foldable top-pressure balloon. Background Technology

[0002] Retinal detachment is a relatively common eye disease that can lead to decreased vision and even blindness. The traditional treatment for retinal detachment involves scleral buckling to encircle and apply pressure to the eyeball. However, traditional scleral buckling has drawbacks such as large surgical incisions and a high risk of infection.

[0003] A method for treating retinal detachment using a folded pressure balloon has been developed. The folded pressure balloon comprises a balloon body and a drainage component. The balloon body is hollow, and the drainage component connects to the interior of the balloon body. During the surgery, the balloon body is first folded into a strip and implanted into the eye. Then, a filling medium, such as saline, air, silicone oil, or gel, is injected into the balloon body through the drainage component. This inflates the balloon body, causing it to press against the retina for treatment. Because the balloon body is folded during implantation, the surgical incision is small, and the wound is less prone to infection. The specific folding method involves folding the balloon body into a strip shape; however, since balloon bodies are generally spherical, the folded strip-shaped balloon is relatively thick, making implantation still challenging. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a foldable pressure balloon that is easy to implant into the eye.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a folded pressure balloon with an ellipsoidal balloon body, including a balloon body and a drainage component. The balloon body is hollow inside to form a balloon cavity for containing filling medium. The drainage component is connected to the balloon body and communicates with the balloon cavity. The balloon body is ellipsoidal, and the drainage component is connected to the balloon body specifically by connecting to its long axis end.

[0006] Furthermore, the major axis of the balloon body is 12 mm and the minor axis is 10 mm.

[0007] Furthermore, the drainage component includes a drainage valve and a drainage tube, wherein the drainage valve is connected to the balloon body and communicates with the balloon cavity through the drainage tube.

[0008] Furthermore, the width and thickness of the drainage valve are both greater than those of the drainage tube.

[0009] Furthermore, the drainage valve has a width of 2.2 mm and a thickness of 1.6 mm, and the drainage tube has a width and thickness of 1.2 mm.

[0010] Furthermore, the length of the drainage valve is shorter than that of the drainage tube.

[0011] Furthermore, the length of the drainage valve is 4mm, and the length of the drainage tube is 6mm.

[0012] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: When using a folding pressure balloon, the ellipsoidal balloon body is folded along its long axis, resulting in a thinner strip-shaped balloon body, which makes it easier to implant the folded balloon body into the eye. Then, a filling medium is injected into the balloon cavity through the drainage component, so that the balloon body can expand and press against the retina of the eyeball for treatment. Attached Figure Description

[0013] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a folded pressure balloon with an ellipsoidal balloon body.

[0014] Figure 2 It is a dimensioned diagram of a folded, top-pressure balloon with an ellipsoidal balloon body. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0016] This embodiment provides a folded pressure balloon with an ellipsoidal balloon body, such as Figure 1 As shown, the foldable compression balloon includes an interconnected balloon body 1 and a drainage component 2. The balloon body 1 is ellipsoidal, with a hollow interior forming a balloon cavity for containing the filling medium. The drainage component 2 connects to the balloon body 1 and communicates with the balloon cavity. Specifically, the drainage component includes a drainage valve 21 and a drainage tube 22. The drainage valve 21 has a hollow interior forming a cavity structure, which is connected to the long axis end of the balloon body 1 and communicates with the balloon cavity via the drainage tube 22. The balloon body 1 is made of soft medical-grade silicone and is foldable and deformable.

[0017] like Figure 2 As shown, the major axis of the balloon body 1 of the folded top-compression balloon is 12mm and the minor axis is 10mm. The width and thickness of the drainage valve 21 are greater than those of the drainage tube 22. Specifically, the width of the drainage valve 21 is 2.1mm and the thickness is 1.6mm, while the width and thickness of the drainage tube 22 are both 1.2mm. The length of the drainage valve 21 is less than that of the drainage tube 22. Specifically, the length of the drainage valve 21 is 4mm and the length of the drainage tube 22 is 6mm.

[0018] When using a folding pressure balloon during surgery, the elliptical balloon body 1 is folded along its long axis to obtain a thinner strip-shaped balloon body 1, making it easier to implant the folded balloon body 1 into the eye. Then, a needle filled with a filling medium (such as saline, air, silicone oil, gel, etc.) is inserted into the drainage valve 21 of the drainage component 2. The filling medium is injected into the balloon cavity of the balloon body 1 through the drainage valve 21 and drainage tube 22 of the drainage component 2, so that the balloon body 1 can expand and press against the retina of the eyeball for treatment.

[0019] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of patent protection. Any non-substantial changes or substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention will still fall within the scope of patent protection.
