Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically a urological stone removal device. Background Technology
[0002] Kidney stones are solid masses that form in the ducts or cavities of hollow organs (such as the kidneys, ureters, gallbladder, or bladder) of the human or animal body. They are mainly composed of inorganic salts or organic matter and generally have a core composed of sloughed epithelial cells, bacterial clumps, parasite eggs or bodies, fecal matter, or foreign bodies. Inorganic salts or organic matter are then deposited layer by layer on top of the core. Kidney stones can cause ductal obstruction, affecting the drainage of fluids from the affected organ and causing symptoms such as pain, bleeding, or secondary infections. Some existing non-invasive stone removal devices break up stones inside the body and then wash them out. However, the human body not only contains fragmented stones, but the extraction process can easily cause harm to the body.
[0003] Patent application number 202320323898.0 discloses a urological stone removal device, including a cannula with a circular opening at the front end. A matching hemispherical body is fitted to the front end of the cannula, and the interior of the hemispherical body has a hemispherical cavity. This invention uses the hemispherical body and the circular opening at the front end of the cannula to fit together. Then, under the action of the pressing tube and the circular plate pressing the return spring, the hemispherical body and the front end of the cannula are in an open state, which facilitates the grabbing of stones in the urethra and collecting them inside the cannula. After grabbing, the pressing rod is released, and under the return spring, the hemispherical body and the front end of the cannula are closed. The collection cavity formed between the hemispherical body and the cannula is larger than the traditional collection cavity closed by two hemispherical bodies, which makes it easier to grab and collect a large number of fragments of stones in the urethra.
[0004] The device has some shortcomings in use. For example, when the circular plate compresses the reset spring, it drives the hemispherical body to move back and forth. When collecting gravel, the top of the hemispherical body can easily come into direct contact with the gravel as it moves forward, pushing the gravel into the depths of the urethra. This results in incomplete stone removal and fails to meet people's needs. Utility Model Content

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 A urological stone removal device includes a cannula 1, with a connecting sleeve 16 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the cannula 1. Handles 15 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom end of the connecting sleeve 16 for easy handheld use by medical personnel. A connecting plate 2 is fixedly installed inside the cannula 1, dividing the interior of the cannula 1 into a collection chamber and a working chamber. The collection chamber is located at the top and communicates with the upper opening of the cannula 1. An installation tube 3 is fixedly installed at the center of the connecting plate 2, connecting the collection chamber and the working chamber. A connecting rod 4 is slidably installed inside the installation tube 3, and a [missing information - likely a device or component] is fixedly installed at the top of the connecting rod 4. Cleaning head 5 seals the opening of cannula 1. When cannula 1 is inserted into the patient's urethra, cleaning head 5 seals the opening of cannula 1, which can form a spherical structure at the front end of cannula 1. This facilitates the insertion of cannula 1 and reduces friction between cannula 1 and the inner wall of the urethra, improving patient comfort. The working chamber is equipped with a drive component to drive the telescopic movement of connecting rod 4. A lubrication chamber 9 is opened inside the inner wall of cannula 1. The top wall of lubrication chamber 9 has multiple liquid outlet holes 10 communicating with the outside. The side of lubrication chamber 9 has multiple liquid outlet holes 11 communicating with the outside.
[0023] When in use, lubricant is first added to the lubrication chamber 9. The lubricant can flow out through the outlet hole 10 and outlet hole 11 at the front end of the sleeve 1, which facilitates lubrication of the device when the sleeve 1 is inserted into the urethra and prevents the sleeve 1 from scratching the urethra. When the top of the sleeve 1 moves to the stone fragments, the cleaning ball 5 moves back and forth to facilitate the collection of the stones.
[0024] The drive assembly includes two miniature electric push rods 7, which are fixedly installed inside the working chamber. A support plate 6 is fixedly installed at the top of the miniature electric push rod 7, and the support plate 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 4. By activating the miniature electric push rod 7, the cleaning ball 5 can be easily driven to reciprocate and collect the gravel.
[0025] The cleaning head 5 is an elastic airbag. An air tube 8 is installed inside the working chamber. One end of the air tube 8 is connected to the cleaning head 5, and the other end of the air tube 8 extends to the outside of the connecting sleeve 16. An air inlet is fixedly installed at the other end of the air tube 8. When the top of the sleeve 1 moves to the stone fragments, the air inside the cleaning head 5 is first discharged through the air tube 8, and the cleaning ball 5 shrinks to prevent it from contacting the stone fragments when moving forward, thus pushing the stone fragments deep into the urethra and affecting subsequent stone fragment removal. By activating the micro electric push rod 7, the cleaning ball 5 is moved forward to move behind the stone fragments. Then, by inflating the cleaning ball 5, it is moved backward by the micro electric push rod 7, which pushes the stone fragments into the collection chamber, thus completing the collection of the stone fragments.
[0026] Furthermore, a valve 13 is installed on the outer surface of the air pipe 8 below the connecting sleeve 16 to control the expansion and contraction of the cleaning ball 5.
[0027] The working chamber is equipped with a liquid pipe 12. One end of the liquid pipe 12 is connected to the inside of the lubrication chamber 9, and the other end of the liquid pipe 12 extends to the bottom of the connecting sleeve 16 and is equipped with a liquid injection port. A valve 14 is installed on the other end of the liquid pipe 12. When in use, lubricating fluid is first added to the inside of the lubrication chamber 9 through the liquid pipe 12 to facilitate lubrication of the device.
[0028] Furthermore, the connecting sleeve 16 is made of silicone, which has a certain degree of flexibility, making it easy to bend and preventing the connecting sleeve 16 from being too stiff and causing discomfort to the patient.
[0029] Working principle: When using this urological stone removal device, lubricating fluid is first added to the lubrication chamber 9 through the fluid tube 12. The lubricating fluid can flow out through the first fluid outlet 10 and the second fluid outlet 11 at the front end of the sleeve 1, which facilitates lubrication of the device when the sleeve 1 is inserted into the urethra and prevents the sleeve 1 from scratching the urethra. When the top of the sleeve 1 moves to the stone fragments, the air inside the cleaning head 5 is first discharged through the air tube 8, and the cleaning ball 5 shrinks. By activating the micro electric push rod 7, the cleaning ball 5 is moved forward to move behind the stone fragments. Then, by inflating the cleaning ball 5, the cleaning ball 5 is expanded. The micro electric push rod 7 moves the cleaning ball 5 backward, which can push the stone fragments into the collection chamber, thus completing the collection of the stone fragments.
