Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an integrated incision and drainage catheter. Background Technology

[0002] Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) involves inserting a duodenoscope into the descending duodenum to locate the duodenal papilla. A contrast catheter is then inserted through the biopsy tube to the papillary opening, and contrast agent is injected before X-ray imaging to visualize the pancreatic and bile ducts. Due to its safety, minimally invasive nature, and effectiveness, ERCP has become an important treatment for pancreatic and biliary diseases. This technique is currently widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of bile duct obstruction, gallstones, bile duct cancer, pancreatic cancer, and chronic pancreatitis. Commonly used instruments in ERCP include a papillary incision device (hereinafter referred to as the incision knife) and a bile duct drainage tube. The incision knife is used during endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) to incise the sphincter of Oddi at the duodenal papilla, thus enlarging the papillary opening for catheter insertion and stone removal. A bile duct drainage tube is an internal drainage tube used in endoscopic bile duct drainage (EBD) procedures. It is placed at the site of biliary stricture to drain bile. Endoscopic placement of biliary stents is an effective treatment for difficult-to-remove common bile duct stones, multiple stones, etc., especially for elderly patients. In addition, it can quickly relieve biliary obstruction and ensure unobstructed drainage.

[0003] In ERCP stone removal, difficult intubation is often encountered, requiring the sphincter of Oddi to be cut before subsequent stone, obstruction treatment and drainage can be performed. However, existing instruments can only be changed after the sphincter is cut before the bile duct drainage can continue. This repeated instrument change prolongs the operation time, increases the difficulty of the operation, and can lead to complications during multiple operations, causing more discomfort to the patient.

[0004] In response to the problems with existing technologies, there is an urgent need for an integrated incision and drainage catheter that can allow for continued EBD procedures without changing instruments after EST, simultaneously meeting the needs of incision, catheterization, and drainage, thus greatly improving surgical efficiency.

[0026] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the integrated incision and drainage catheter of this embodiment includes an inner tube 2, a drainage tube 3, an outer tube 4, and a pusher tube 5. The inner tube 2 has a cutting wire 1 at its front end. The inner tube 2 has an injection chamber 21, a cutting wire chamber 22, and a guide wire chamber 23. The cutting wire 1 is located in the cutting wire chamber 22. The drainage tube 3, the outer tube 4, and the pusher tube 5 are sequentially sleeved on the inner tube 2 from front to back. The rear end of the drainage tube 3 is connected to the front end of the outer tube 4 by a binding wire 10. The rear end of the outer tube 4 is connected to the front end of the pusher tube 5. Pushing the pusher tube 5 causes the outer tube 4 and the drainage tube 3 to move forward or backward along the inner tube 2. The pusher tube 5 extends from the rear end of the inner tube 2, and the rear end of the inner tube 2 is connected to the handle assembly 6. In this invention, during ERCP surgery, the choledochoscope is first inserted into a suitable location, and a guidewire is used to locate the duodenal papilla. Using an appropriate power setting, the cutting wire 1 is energized, and the operating handle assembly 6 drives the cutting wire 1 to cut the sphincter of Oddi. The inner tube 2 is then inserted into the bile duct along the guidewire, and the distal end of the drainage tube 3 is passed through the site of stone or obstruction. At this point, by retracting the guidewire and handle assembly 6, the inner tube 2 is withdrawn, and the sutures binding the drainage tube 3 and the outer tube 4 are gradually loosened. Simultaneously, while withdrawing the inner tube 2, the position of the drainage tube 3 can be adjusted by retracting the pusher tube 5 until the proximal end of the drainage tube 3 is released at the sphincter of Oddi, thereby achieving the functions of unblocking bile duct obstruction and draining bile. This invention achieves the effects of both a sphincter of Oddi incision and a bile duct drainage tube in one instrument, simultaneously satisfying the needs of incision, insertion, and drainage, reducing the number of instrument exchanges, and is safe and effective.

[0028] Specifically, the drainage tube 3 has a first through hole at its rear end, and the outer tube 4 has a second hole at its front end. The binding thread 10 connects the drainage tube 3 and the outer tube 4 through the first through hole and the second hole. The binding thread 10 effectively fixes the drainage tube 3 and the outer tube 4. During the release process, the position of the drainage tube 3 can be adjusted by retracting the outer tube 4. The handle assembly 6 includes a handle rod 61 and a handle ring 62. The handle ring 62 slides along the handle rod 61. The rear end of the inner tube 2 is connected to the handle rod 61, and the rear end of the wire cutter 1 is connected to the handle ring 62. Pushing the handle ring 62 causes the wire cutter 1 to enter and exit the inner tube 2. The proximal end of the inner tube 2 is also provided with a guidewire exchange port 7, an injection chamber inlet 8, and an electrode 9. The guidewire exchange port 7 communicates with the guidewire chamber 23, and the injection chamber inlet 8 communicates with the injection chamber 21. The electrode 9 is set on the handle ring 62, and the rear end of the wire cutter 1 is connected to the electrode 9. The three-chamber design of the inner tube 2 can simultaneously meet the requirements of contrast agent injection, guidewire insertion, and wire cutter 1 insertion.

[0029] More specifically, the distal end of the inner tube 2 is provided with a first contrast ring 12, and / or, the distal end of the inner tube 2 is also provided with a color band 13, which is located behind the contrast ring 12. The combination design of the contrast ring and color band on the inner tube 2 allows the instrument to be directly visualized under endoscopy and positioned and visualized under X-ray. The outer diameter of the distal end of the inner tube 2 is 1.64-1.84 mm, and the length of the distal end of the inner tube 2 is 50 mm. The outer diameter of the proximal end of the inner tube 2 is 1.9-2.4 mm, and the length of the proximal end of the inner tube 2 is 1500 mm. The special variable diameter design of the inner tube 2, with a smaller outer diameter at the distal end for easy pre-loading of the drainage tube 3 and insertion operation, and a larger outer diameter at the proximal end to enhance the operability of the tube body in the endoscope. The distal end of the outer tube 4 is provided with a second contrast ring 11, which facilitates accurate positioning when observing and releasing the drainage tube 3, and facilitates the release of the proximal end of the drainage tube 3 at the papillary sphincter. The distal end of the inner tube 2 has a tapered orifice, which is rounded, increasing the safety of instrument use and reducing complications. The cutting wire 1 can be either a needle-type or an arc-shaped cutting wire, depending on the patient's nipple opening, improving surgical efficiency and ensuring surgical safety.

[0030] This utility model presents an integrated incision and drainage catheter, which combines the effects of an incision knife and a biliary drainage tube into one instrument. It can simultaneously perform incision, tube insertion, and drainage, reducing the number of instrument exchanges, simplifying surgical procedures, reducing the incidence of surgical complications, and making it safer and more effective.

[0031] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the exemplary embodiments described above without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, it is intended that this invention cover modifications and variations falling within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
