[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 ,
[0026] Example 1: A chemotherapy tubing structure includes a chemotherapy tubing bag 1, a 6F vascular catheter sheath 2, a dilator 3, and a puncture needle 4. The chemotherapy tubing bag 1 stores the tubing used for chemotherapy. Inside the chemotherapy tubing bag 1 are three independent components: the 6F vascular catheter sheath 2, the dilator 3, and the puncture needle 4. The 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 serves as the main catheter channel for delivering drugs or other therapeutic substances into the patient's body, particularly into blood vessels or body cavities. The dilator 3 is used to dilate tissue or blood vessels before inserting the 6F vascular catheter sheath to facilitate insertion. The puncture needle 4 is used to deliver drugs... The 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 is directly injected into the patient's body or connected to other infusion devices via a puncture connection tube. One end of the 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 is equipped with a side arm 5, which is located outside the patient and is used to connect additional tubing or devices. One end of the side arm 5 is equipped with a catheter sheath connection tube 6, which is used to connect the 6F vascular catheter sheath to other devices such as three-way valves, infusion bags, etc., to facilitate the delivery of drugs or fluids. The other end of the catheter sheath connection tube 6 is equipped with a three-way valve 7, which is used to control the flow of drugs or fluids and can be connected to multiple tubing to achieve the switching and mixing of different fluids or drugs.
[0027] In this embodiment, one end of the dilator 3 is provided with a fixing seat 8, which is used to fix the dilator and ensure that the dilator maintains a stable position during the dilation process. One end of the fixing seat 8, which is located inside the dilator 3, is provided with a traction rope 9, which is used to pull the dilator when needed so that the 6F vascular catheter sheath can be inserted more easily.
[0028] In this embodiment, a delivery tube 10 is provided at one end of the bottom of the puncture needle 4. This tube serves as a channel for delivering media, such as drugs, contrast agents, or other liquids from external devices into the patient's body, or for draining fluids (such as blood) from the body. The other end of the delivery tube 10 is provided with a puncture connection tube 11. The puncture connection tube 11 provides a reliable connection interface, enabling the delivery tube to be safely and securely connected to other medical devices (such as syringes, infusion pumps, pressure monitors, etc.), thereby ensuring the smooth progress of treatment.
[0029] In this embodiment, the 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 is made of medical-grade plastic material, which has thin walls and excellent flexibility. The diameter of the 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 is about 2mm, which is thinner than the existing 14F biliary drainage tube, making it more suitable for minimally invasive operations.
[0030] In this embodiment, the 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 is made of medical-grade plastic material. This material not only ensures the biocompatibility and safety of the product, but also gives the 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 a thin-walled design and excellent flexibility. This thin-walled design not only reduces the burden on the patient, but also improves the flexibility of the catheter, making it easier to pass through complex vascular structures, reducing the difficulty of operation and the patient's pain. The diameter of the 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 is about 2mm, which is smaller than the diameter of the existing 14F biliary drainage tube. This improvement makes the 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 more advantageous in minimally invasive operations, because it can pass through narrow vascular channels more easily, while reducing damage to surrounding tissues and the risk of bleeding.
[0031] In this embodiment, the 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 adopts the Seldinger placement technique, which eliminates the need for a second abdominal wall incision with a blade. The 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 is directly inserted into the abdominal cavity, significantly reducing the patient's pain and discomfort. The 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 is equipped with a guide wire 12, which serves as a guide for subsequent insertion of the 6F vascular catheter sheath. The 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 uses a hollow needle design, which allows for safe and effective insertion into the abdominal cavity regardless of whether there is fluid accumulation. This avoids the cumbersome procedure of performing artificial ascites infusion and removing the catheter again.
[0032] It should be noted that the Seedinger catheter placement technique involves gently inserting the guidewire 12 into a blood vessel or body cavity. After confirming that the guidewire 12 is correctly positioned and stable, the 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 is inserted. During insertion, the 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 is slowly and smoothly inserted into the blood vessel or body cavity along the guidewire 12. During the insertion process, it is necessary to ensure that the 6F vascular catheter sheath fits tightly with the guidewire to avoid guidewire slippage or 6F vascular catheter sheath twisting. Once the 6F vascular catheter sheath is successfully inserted and fixed, the guidewire 12 is gently withdrawn. At this point, the 6F vascular catheter sheath has become a channel for drug delivery or monitoring.
[0033] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 is designed with a low-cost polymer material, making the 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 wall smooth and tough. During indwelling, the patient tolerates it better, with no obvious foreign body sensation, improving the comfort and experience of treatment. After treatment, the 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 can be removed without suturing the wound. Only a medical dressing needs to be applied, reducing the hassle of suturing and suture removal. Furthermore, the price of the 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 is lower, saving patients money and demonstrating good economic and social benefits.
[0034] It should be noted that during chemotherapy, the puncture site should first be thoroughly disinfected to reduce the risk of infection. A puncture needle (4) is used to make a skin puncture to establish a channel to the blood vessel. If necessary, the puncture site can be pre-dilated using a dilator (3) to facilitate the smooth entry of the 6F vascular catheter sheath (2) into the blood vessel. The fixation seat (8) and traction rope (9) of the dilator (3) help stabilize and control the operation of the dilator. Next, the 6F vascular catheter sheath (2) can be inserted. The 6F vascular catheter sheath (2) uses a Seldier... The Nger catheterization technique involves inserting a 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 into the blood vessel along the guidewire 12. The thin wall and flexibility of the 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 allow it to pass more easily through the bends in the blood vessel, reducing trauma and discomfort to the patient. After insertion, it is connected to a three-way valve 7 via the side arm 5 and the catheter sheath connecting tube 6 for subsequent drug delivery and monitoring. The three-way valve 7 is opened to deliver the drug into the patient's body through the 6F vascular catheter sheath 2. During delivery, blood return can be checked periodically through the three-way valve 7 to ensure the 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 remains unobstructed. After the chemotherapy drug delivery is complete, the three-way valve 7 is closed, and the 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 is carefully removed. A medical dressing is applied to the puncture site to reduce the risk of bleeding and infection. Due to the thin wall and flexibility of the 6F vascular catheter sheath 2, the patient usually experiences less pain when it is removed, and there is no need to suture the wound.
[0035] The beneficial effects of the above embodiments are as follows:
[0036] This chemotherapy catheter structure, through the design of a 6F vascular catheter sheath 2, dilator 3, and puncture needle 4, improves clinical problems such as difficult catheter placement, significant pain, and the need for wound suturing after catheter removal during intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy. At the same time, the 6F vascular catheter sheath 2, made of medical-grade plastic and combined with the Seldinger catheter placement technology and internal hollow needle design, effectively solves the problems of difficult catheter placement, significant pain, and the need for suturing after catheter removal during intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy. In addition, the inner wall of the 6F vascular catheter sheath 2 is made of inexpensive polymer material, which not only makes the tube wall smooth and tough, improving the patient's comfort and tolerance during indwelling, but also significantly reduces medical costs.
