[0002] The endoscopic interventional instrument forms a channel for guidewire implantation, which must be reciprocated along the needle tube of the endoscopic interventional instrument to implant the distal end of the guidewire into the target position. Since the tip of the needle tube must be equipped with a blade for cutting or piercing, the blade of the needle tip will cut and scrape the guidewire when the needle tube slides along the guidewire, which can easily abrade the skin of the guidewire and even cause serious damage to the guidewire. In addition, a backing layer is embedded inside the blade of the needle tip to separate the guidewire and the needle tube, thus preventing the blade of the needle tube from scratching the skin of the guidewire.However, in the course of medical treatment, there is a high risk that the backing layer located on the inside of the blade of the needle tip will fall off, which may lead to medical accidents in which the backing layer material remains in the human body.

[0021] As in the Fig. 1, Fig. 3 and Fig. 5, one embodiment of the utility model provides a needle tube construction comprising: a needle tube body 100 and a polymeric material tube body 200 disposed inside the needle tube body 100; the needle tube body 100 has at least one slotted hole 101 on the sidewall, and the polymeric material tube body 200 is cooperatively secured to the slotted hole 101.
[0022] In this embodiment, the polymer material tube body 200 is made of materials such as fibers, resins, plastics, and rubber, which are harmless to the human body. When the needle tube structure is in use, the guide wire is passed through the needle tube body 100 in the axial direction, and the polymer material tube body 200 is interposed between the guide wire and the needle tube body 100 to prevent the needle tube body 100 from scratching the skin of the guide wire.Furthermore, the side wall of the needle tube body 100 is provided with at least one slit hole 101, and the polymer material tube body 200 can fit into the slit hole 101, and the reinforcing material can be supplied through the slit hole 101 to improve the adhesive strength between the polymer material tube body 200 and the needle tube body 100, which increases the strength of the polymer material tube body 200 and reduces the risk of the polymer material tube body 200 falling off, which could lead to a medical incident.
[0023] As in the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, in a first optional embodiment, the polymeric material tubular body 200 is inserted into the needle tube body 100, and the polymeric material tubular body 200 is fixed relative to the needle tube body 100 by an adhesive material injected through the slotted hole 101. The adhesive solution can penetrate through the slotted hole 101 into the gap between the outer wall of the polymeric material tubular body 200 and the inner wall of the needle tube body 100, so that the polymeric material tubular body 200 can be firmly connected to the needle tube body 100.
[0024] As in the Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, in a second optional embodiment, the needle tube body 100 and the polymer material tube body 200 are processed and formed by a co-injection process to join the needle tube body 100 to the polymer material tube body 200, so that the needle tube body 100 and the polymer material tube body 200 can be formed synchronously and a firm connection of the two is achieved to keep the processing efficiency relatively high.
[0025] In a third optional embodiment, the inner side wall of the needle tube body 100 is cured by spraying to form the polymer material tube body 200, so that the polymer material tube body 200 is bonded and glued to the inner side wall of the needle tube body 100, whereby the processing and shaping can also be carried out relatively quickly.
[0026] In a fourth optional embodiment, the needle tube body 100 and the polymer material tube body 200 are integrally formed by hot fusion, which is more efficient in production and more firmly bonds the needle tube body 100 and the polymer material tube body 200 after curing.
[0027] With reference to the Fig. 2, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the polymer material tube body 200 can be formed with a protrusion 201 that fits into the slotted hole 101 based on the above optional embodiment, and by embedding the protrusion 201 into the slotted hole 101, the stability of the polymer material tube body 200 with respect to the needle tube body 100 can be improved and the risk of the polymer material tube body 200 falling off can be reduced.
[0028] As in the Fig. 2 and Fig. 4, a needle tip blade 102 is arranged at the end of the needle tube body 100, which can cut and pierce the human tissue at the target position, and the polymer material tube body 200 has an incision 202 covering the inside of the needle tip blade 102, and the incision 202 can separate the guide wire passing through the needle tube body 100 from the needle tip blade 102 to prevent the guide wire from scratching the skin.
[0029] Furthermore, the needle tip blade 102 is flush with the notch 202 along the blade surface, and the blade surface is inclined with respect to the axis of the needle tube body 100; the inner edge 203 of the notch 202 is exposed from the blade surface near the axis of the needle tube body 100. If the blade surface inclined with respect to the axis of the needle tube body 100 has a flat or curved surface, the inner edge 203 is exposed from the blade surface; in other words, the inner edge 203 can contact the guide wire, so that the guide wire can be prevented from contacting the inner edge of the needle tip blade 102, and the guide wire, which is curved with respect to the axis of the needle tube body 100, is not scraped by the needle tip blade 102.
[0030] As in Fig.1, embodiments of the present utility model provide an endoscopic interventional instrument comprising: a guidewire and a needle tube construction as documented in the above embodiments, wherein the guidewire extends through the needle tube construction and renders the guidewire slidable along the needle tube construction.The needle tube body 100 can be implanted toward a distal end remote from the operating position, thereby achieving puncture of the human tissue at the target position, followed by implantation of the guidewire along the needle tube body 100. The polymer material tube body 200 is disposed between and separates the guidewire and the needle tube body 100, thereby preventing not only relative abrasion of the guidewire and the needle tube body 100, but also scraping and abrasion injury to the skin of the guidewire caused by the needle tube body 100. Furthermore, the polymer material tube body 200 is firmly connected to the needle tube body 100, thereby reducing the risk of medical malpractice caused by the polymer material tube body 200 falling off.
[0031] In the embodiments of the present utility model, the needle tube body 100 is slidably inserted into the outer tube 300, the outer tube 300 is inserted into an endoscope, and the visual operation of the needle tube body 100 is realized through the endoscope, and the needle tube body 100 can first be implanted through the outer tube 300 by means of the telescopic movement of the needle tube body 100 with respect to the outer tube 300 to a certain position, and then the needle tube body 100 can be extended with respect to the outer tube 300 to realize puncture of the human tissue at the target.Subsequently, the needle tube body 100 extends outward relative to the outer tube 300 to realize the puncture of the human tissue at the target position and then to implant the guide wire along the needle tube body 100 while avoiding the scratching of the guide wire by the needle tube body 100 by means of the polymer material tube body 200.
[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments serve only to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model and are not intended to limit them. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, a person skilled in the art should understand that they may still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments or substitute some of the technical features contained therein with equivalents. These modifications or substitutions do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present application.
