Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to a multifunctional stone retrieval basket. Background Technology

[0002] Bile duct stones are a common and frequently occurring disease in my country, including gallbladder stones, intrahepatic bile duct stones, and common bile duct stones. Obstruction of the cystic duct or bile duct by stones can induce complications such as acute cholecystitis, acute cholangitis, obstructive jaundice, and acute biliary pancreatitis, and may even lead to septic shock, endangering the patient's life. Long-term irritation from stones increases the risk of gallbladder cancer and bile duct cancer.

[0003] Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a minimally invasive and commonly used method for treating common bile duct stones using a duodenoscope. A stone retrieval basket is inserted into the common bile duct through the duodenoscope's forceps channel. After retrieving the stone, it is pulled back into the common bile duct through the duodenal papilla. Clinically, the following difficulties often arise during stone retrieval: 1. Large stones are difficult to remove through the duodenal papilla after being retrieved by the stone retrieval basket. The stone needs to be released first, followed by lithotripsy. Lithotripsy methods include mechanical lithotripsy and laser lithotripsy. A lithotripsy basket is used to retrieve the stone, and tightening the basket breaks the stone. However, the sheath of the lithotripsy basket is relatively rigid, making it difficult to insert into the common bile duct through the duodenal papilla, and even leading to serious complications such as duodenal papilla perforation. The latter method uses the SpyGlass or Insight pancreaticobiliary imaging system to enter the common bile duct, and then inserts a lithotripsy fiber optic or wire fragmentation device through the forceps channel. However, the pancreaticobiliary imaging system is expensive, limiting its clinical application. 2. Intrahepatic bile duct stones: Intrahepatic bile duct stones are generally treated with surgical procedures such as hepatectomy and choledochoscopy. ERCP can also be used to treat intrahepatic bile duct stones, but ordinary stone retrieval baskets are difficult to access the target bile duct. Generally, the guidewire is superselectively inserted into the bile duct where the stone is located, and then a guidewire-guided stone retrieval basket is placed under the guidewire guidance. Currently, the guidewire-guided stone retrieval baskets used clinically generally have the guidewire led out through the basket cap, and the guidewire does not pass through the outer sheath of the basket. The basket sheath is often at an angle to the guidewire, especially when the curvature of the intrahepatic bile duct is large. The basket sheath often slips into the contralateral bile duct, making it difficult to place into the large-curvature intrahepatic bile duct. SpyGlass or the Insight Pancreaticobiliary Imaging System is currently an effective method for treating intrahepatic bile duct stones, but its high price still limits its clinical application; 3. Difficult stone removal: (1) The stone retrieved by the basket is stuck in the sphincter of Oddi. This is one of the most dangerous situations in basket stone removal. At this time, the retrieved stone cannot be removed and is often difficult to push into the common bile duct to release the stone. Only surgical operation with the stone retrieval basket can be carried out. The stone is broken up under choledochoscopy and then the basket is removed; (2) The intrahepatic bile duct stone retrieved by the basket cannot pass through the narrow bile duct. This is a difficult situation in basket stone removal. One of the most dangerous situations in intrahepatic bile duct is that the stones retrieved cannot be removed through the narrow bile duct and there is often no space to release them. In most cases, the only option is to carry a stone retrieval basket for surgery, remove the liver where the stone is located, or use a choledochoscope to enter the bile duct to break the stone and finally remove the impacted basket. (3) The stone retrieved by the basket is impacted in the cystic duct. This is one of the most dangerous situations in basket stone retrieval. Forcibly pulling out the basket can easily damage the sphincter of the duodenal papilla or the cystic duct. If the basket cannot be pulled out, surgery is the only option. The cystic duct is cut open to break the stone and then the impacted basket is removed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, a multifunctional stone-collecting basket is provided.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] This utility model provides a multifunctional stone retrieval basket, including a basket cap 1, an outer sheath tube 2, a basket 3, a connecting tube 4, and a handle 5. The basket cap 1 is located outside the head end of the outer sheath tube 2, and the basket 3 and the connecting tube 4 are located inside the outer sheath tube 2. The head end of the basket 3 is connected to the tail end of the basket cap 1, and the tail end is connected to the head end of the connecting tube 4. The connecting tube 4 is inserted into the interior of the outer sheath tube 2 through the tail end of the outer sheath tube 2, and the tail end of the connecting tube 4 is connected to the handle 5, which is located outside the tail end of the outer sheath tube 2.

[0035] The net cap 1 is made of metal, with a tapered head and a cylindrical tail. The net cap 1 has a guide wire channel I inside.

[0036] The outer sheath tube 2 is a single-channel tube made of plastic, with a single channel inside for accommodating the basket 3 and the connecting tube 4.

[0037] The net basket 3 is composed of four metal wires arranged in parallel. The head end of the four metal wires is connected to the tail end of the net basket cap 1, and the tail end is connected to the head end of the connecting tube 4.

[0038] The connecting tube 4 is made of metal, with its tail end fixed to the handle 5, and has a guide wire channel II inside.

[0039] The multi-functional stone-collecting basket has an internal guide wire channel, which consists of guide wire channel I and guide wire channel II. Guide wire channel II is used to insert guide wires or stone-crushing wires. The guide wire is inserted sequentially into guide wire channel II, between multiple metal wires, and into guide wire channel I, and then exits through guide wire channel I. The stone-crushing wire is inserted between multiple metal wires via guide wire channel II.

[0040] This invention has multiple functions. It can be directly inserted into the common bile duct for stone removal, or it can be inserted into the common bile duct, intrahepatic bile duct, and cystic duct under the guidance of a guidewire for targeted stone removal. When large stones cannot be removed smoothly, a lithotripsy wire can be inserted through the guidewire channel to break up the stones before removing the fragments.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] Applications of this multifunctional stone-retrieving basket:

[0043] 1. Routine removal of common bile duct stones: A multi-functional stone retrieval basket is inserted through the duodenoscope channel and directly inserted into the common bile duct through the duodenal papilla. The basket is then released to retrieve the common bile duct stone, and finally the stone is pulled into the duodenal lumen through the common bile duct.

[0044] 2. Guidewire-guided stone removal: The incision knife with guidewire is used to select the intrahepatic bile duct or cystic duct. The guidewire is placed in the intrahepatic bile duct or cystic duct. Under the guidance of the guidewire, a multi-functional stone retrieval basket is placed. The basket is released to retrieve the stone, and then the stone is pulled into the duodenal lumen. After the multi-functional basket passes the stone, the guidewire is withdrawn, the basket is released to retrieve the stone, and then the stone is removed.

[0045] 3. Retrieving stones lodged in the sphincter of the duodenal papilla using a basket: If the stone is large, it may become lodged in the sphincter of the duodenal papilla during the stone retrieval process. A stone fragmentation wire is inserted through the guidewire channel to break up the stone, and then the fragments are removed.

[0046] 4. Treatment of impacted stones in the cystic duct or intrahepatic bile duct: A multi-functional basket is used to retrieve stones from the cystic duct or intrahepatic bile duct. Due to the presence of the Heister valve in the cystic duct and stenosis of the intrahepatic bile duct, the stones cannot be completely removed; only release is possible. If the stones cannot be released, open or laparoscopic surgery is required. In such cases, a lithotripsy lead is inserted through the guidewire channel of the multi-functional basket for laser or electrohydraulic lithotripsy, followed by stone removal.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
