Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water jet nozzle technology, specifically to an integrated medical water jet nozzle. Background Technology

[0002] Wound debridement is a crucial step in clinical wound management. Traditional debridement methods typically employ sharps, enzymatic debridement, and biological debridement. However, these methods suffer from drawbacks such as cumbersome procedures, low efficiency, imprecise cleaning, and failure to promptly remove contaminants. In recent years, a water jet debridement method has emerged. This method utilizes high-pressure water jets to cut and clean the wound, while simultaneously leveraging the Venturi effect generated by the high-pressure water jets to adsorb and remove excised necrotic tissue, contaminants, and other foreign objects. Compared to traditional debridement methods, medical water jet debridement offers advantages such as high speed, precise cleaning, and timely removal of contaminants.

[0003] The water jet nozzle is a crucial component of a medical water jet, ensuring its high-speed and precise wound-cleaning performance. The nozzle consists of a plate-shaped nozzle mounted at the end of the flow channel. Currently, nozzles are typically installed using a press-fit method. Appropriate overpressure is required during the press-fit process to secure the nozzle firmly; otherwise, the performance of the medical water jet will be affected. This manifests in several ways: insufficient pressure can cause nozzle wobbling; excessive pressure can lead to nozzle deformation; and nozzles designed for press-fit systems often have a pressure-bearing structure. This structure accumulates stress during press-fit fixing and releases it slowly, potentially causing the nozzle to perform well during factory inspection but degrade in actual use. Therefore, press-fit nozzle assembly requires high nozzle machining precision and high-precision press-fit equipment; otherwise, nozzle deformation is highly likely, affecting the cutting performance of the medical water jet.

[0004] Nozzles can also be fixed to the head end of the flow channel by welding. However, conventional sheet nozzles are relatively thin, and welding can easily cause nozzle deformation. Furthermore, welding burrs affect the smoothness of the water jet nozzle's outer wall, making them unsuitable for wound cleaning in medical water jet applications and potentially causing secondary trauma to the wound. There are also sleeve-shaped nozzles, such as those described in patent 201520324118X. While these can avoid nozzle deformation during welding, welding burrs still affect the smoothness of the water jet nozzle's outer wall and create stepped surfaces, easily leading to secondary wound trauma. Both the aforementioned sleeve-shaped nozzles and conventional sheet nozzles mostly use nozzle channels with rounded inlet angles. The rounded arc is difficult to manufacture, and the large change in curvature of the inlet angle results in significant pressure variations within the nozzle channel, easily leading to nozzle fatigue deformation and reducing the effective service life of the medical water jet.
