[0069] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 13, the embodiment provides a puncture device, and the puncture device comprises a first shell 100, a puncture needle 300, a guide wire 700 and a dilator 200. The first shell 100 is capable of being detachably connected with different types of introducer sheath assemblies 600, so as to expand an application range of the puncture device. One end of the dilator 200 is arranged on the first shell 100, and during a surgery, the dilator 200 penetrates through an introducer sheath 620 of the introducer sheath assembly 600, and the guide wire 700 penetrates through the dilator 200. During the surgery, an operator inserts distal ends of the dilator 200 and the guide wire 700 into a heart, and after the distal ends of the dilator 200 and the guide wire 700 reach a preset position, the puncture needle 300 penetrates through an interior of the dilator 200, so as to facilitate the operator to operate the puncture needle 300 to make a distal end of the puncture needle protrude from the dilator 200 and puncture an atrial septum, thereby achieving the atrial septum puncture. Further, in order to improve a puncture accuracy, the distal end of the puncture needle 300 is set as a needle-like structure. Certainly, in other embodiments, the distal end of the puncture needle 300 may also have any other shape, such as an arc shape. In the embodiment, the first shell 100 is detachably matched with different types of introducer sheath assemblies 600, which is conductive to expanding the application range of the puncture device.

[0070] Further, in the embodiment, before the surgery, the guide wire 700 penetrates through the puncture needle 300, and the guide wire 700, the puncture needle 300, the introducer sheath 620 and the dilator 200 are transported to the heart at the same time, so that when the distal end of the dilator 200 reaches a preset puncture position, the puncture needle 300 is capable of puncturing the atrial septum in time, so as to omit steps and time consumption for withdrawing the guide wire and inserting the puncture needle in the prior art, improve surgery efficiency and shorten surgery time, thereby improving the safety of the surgery process.

[0071] Specifically, with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 7, the introducer sheath assembly 600 is detachably connected with the first shell 100, and the introducer sheath assembly 600 comprises a second shell 610 and the introducer sheath 620 penetrating through the second shell 610. During the surgery, the introducer sheath assembly 600 is assembled first, the dilator 200 penetrates through the introducer sheath 620, and then the first shell 100 and the second shell 610 are connected, so as to fix relative positions of the introducer sheath assembly 600 and the puncture device.

[0072] Optionally, the introducer sheath assembly 600 is a controllable bending introducer sheath 620. Specifically, the second shell 610 is provided with a knob, a bending angle of one end of the second shell 610 far away from the puncture device may be controlled by 180 degrees in both directions, and angles of the dilator 200, the puncture needle 300 and the guide wire 700 penetrating through an interior of the second shell are driven at the same time, which is convenient for a doctor to adjust a puncture point.

[0073] In order to further improve an atrial septum puncture technology of the puncture device and improve a prediction accuracy of a puncture point position, thereby ensuring a puncture accuracy, the puncture needle 300 of the puncture device is electrically connected with the radio-frequency puncture instrument 800. When the distal end of the puncture needle 300 reaches the preset position, a radio-frequency current switch or a foot switch of the radio-frequency puncture instrument 800 is turned on, and quick and highly focused radio-frequency energy is emitted to penetrate through the atrial septum.

[0074] Optionally, the radio-frequency puncture instrument 800 has a real-time impedance measurement function and is connected with the puncture needle 300. After successful puncture, an impedance change is displayed on a display screen to remind the successful puncture. The radio-frequency puncture instrument 800 connects the puncture needle 300 with an electrocardiogram monitor through a data line to measure an electrocardiogram in real time. After successful puncture, the electrocardiogram shows an obvious change, which reminds the operator of the successful puncture.

[0075] With reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 7, in the embodiment, the puncture needle 300 penetrates through the first shell 100 and the dilator 200, and the distal end of the puncture needle 300 has a needle-like structure. The puncture device further comprises a pushing mechanism 400 arranged on the first shell 100, the puncture needle 300 is connected with an output end of the pushing mechanism 400, and the pushing mechanism 400 is capable of pushing the puncture needle 300 to reciprocate in a first direction, so that the distal end of the puncture needle 300 protrudes from the distal end of the dilator 200 or is hidden in the distal end of the dilator 200, and the first direction is an extension direction of the dilator 200. According to the puncture device, the puncture needle 300 is hidden in the dilator 200, which avoids damages to other organs caused by the distal end of the puncture needle 300 in a process of transporting the puncture needle 300 into the heart, enables the puncture needle 300 and the dilator 200 to be transported to a to-be-punctured preset position of the heart at the same time, saves the time for inserting the puncture needle 300, and is conductive to saving the operation time, thereby avoiding complications, and being conductive to ensuring a safety of a use process. FIG. 6 shows a state when the pushing mechanism 400 pushes the puncture needle 300 out of the dilator 200.

[0076] In the embodiment, the puncture needle 300 having the needle-like structure can give consideration to both a mechanical puncture ability and a puncture point stability, form a tent shape at the puncture point with a small thrust, and penetrate through the atrial septum with the quick and highly focused radio-frequency energy at the same time, so that the puncture device no longer relies entirely on a mechanical thrust to forcibly puncture the atrial septum, thereby greatly reducing the risk of excessive puncture and accidental puncture of a posterior wall of a left atrium. Meanwhile, the puncture needle 300 having this structure can still puncture the atrial septum without connecting the radio-frequency puncture instrument 800, which is conductive to expanding the application range of the puncture device. In other embodiments, the needle-like head end of the puncture needle 300 may also adopt an elliptical tip (blunt head), and the blunt head is not designed with a mechanical puncture function, which can further reduce the risk of misoperation during the surgery.

[0077] Specifically, in a non-puncture process, the distal end of the puncture needle 300 is always hidden in the dilator 200. Optionally, in order to reduce time consumption for pushing the puncture needle 300 out of the dilator 200 and reduce a pushing stroke of the pushing mechanism 400, the distal end of the puncture needle 300 is hidden in a position 5 mm to 20 mm away from an interior of the distal end of the dilator 200. When the puncture needle 300 needs to be pushed out of the dilator 200, the pushing mechanism 400 pushes the puncture needle 300, so that the distal end of the puncture needle 300 protrudes from the distal end of the dilator 200, thereby carrying out atrial septum puncture.

[0078] Further, the puncture needle 300 is divided into three sections in a direction from the distal end to the first shell 100. A first section is designed as a rigid tubular needle tip at the head end, so as to facilitate achieving the atrial septum puncture. In order to reduce scratches on an inner wall of the dilator 200 caused by a reciprocating movement of the puncture needle 300 inside the dilator 200, an obliquely sectional tube wall of the needle tip of the first section of the puncture needle 300 has a fillet structure, which prevents foreign bodies on the inner wall of the dilator 200 from falling off during the movement of the puncture needle 300, thereby reducing the surgical risk. A second section is a middle section, and the middle section adopts a flexible multi-strand twisted-wire spring tube, or a single-strand hollow spring-guided tube or a flexible tubular body, so as to adapt to various bending angles of the whole system in body of a patient. A third section is a tail end, and the tail end adopts a rigid tubular body and is located inside a handle and inside a small part of the dilator 200, so as to facilitate transferring a thrust of a pushing rod. The above materials may be made of medical stainless steel or medical nickel-titanium alloy.

[0079] Optionally, because the puncture needle 300 is generally made of metal and has electrical conductivity, in order to avoid the conduction of current from the guide wire 700 to other parts during radio-frequency puncture, an inner wall of the puncture needle 300 is provided with an insulating layer. Meanwhile, the insulating layer can also reduce a friction when the guide wire 700 penetrates through the inner wall of the puncture needle 300, thereby preventing a coating of the guide wire 700 from falling off to cause the surgical risk. Illustratively, the insulating layer may be made of polyimide (PI). Certainly, the insulating layer is not limited to this material.

[0080] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 13, the embodiment further provides an atrial septum puncture method, the atrial septum puncture method is implemented by the puncture device above, and the atrial septum puncture method comprises the following steps of:

[0081] allowing the introducer sheath 620, the dilator 200, the puncture needle 300 and the guide wire 700 to enter a heart of a patient at the same time, and hiding the distal end of the puncture needle 300 in the distal end of the dilator 200 in the process of entering the heart of the patient;

[0082] pushing, by the puncture device, the distal end of the puncture needle 300 out of the distal end of the dilator 200;

[0083] positioning a puncture position of the puncture needle 300 and carrying out atrial septum puncture;

[0084] withdrawing the introducer sheath 620, the dilator 200 and the puncture needle 300 at the same time, and maintaining the guide wire 700, or withdrawing the dilator 200, the puncture needle 300 and the guide wire 700 at the same time, and maintaining the introducer sheath 620; and

[0085] carrying out follow-up surgery.

[0086] Compared with an existing atrial septum puncture method, in the atrial septum puncture method, the processes of withdrawing the guide wire 700 and inserting the puncture needle 300 before puncture are omitted, the processes of withdrawing the puncture needle 300 and exchanging the guide wire 700 after puncture are omitted, and it is unnecessary to replace the puncture needle 300, which is conductive to saving the operation time, thereby avoiding the complications and being conductive to ensuring the safety of the use process.

[0087] Specifically, when the introducer sheath 620, the dilator 200 and the puncture needle 300 are withdrawn at the same time, and the guide wire 700 is maintained, the sheath can be introduced into the left atrium of the patient in the follow-up surgery. When the dilator 200, the puncture needle 300 and the guide wire 700 are withdrawn at the same time, the introducer sheath 620 compatible with the follow-up surgery is maintained, and an access to the left atrium for the follow-up surgery is directly established.

[0088] Further, after the puncture needle 300 completes the atrial septum puncture, because a diameter of the puncture needle 300 is smaller than that of the dilator 200, in order to make the dilator 200 with the larger diameter sleeved outside the puncture needle 300 and the introducer sheath 620 smoothly enter the left atrium, the dilator 200 comprises a main body 210 and a guide port 220 connected with a distal end of the main body 210, and a diameter of the guide port 220 is gradually reduced in a direction far away from the main body 210 to form a trumpet shape, so that the guide port 220 is wrapped on the puncture needle 300. When the puncture needle 300 completes the puncture and enters the left atrium, a smaller-diameter end of the guide port 220 more easily enters the left atrium, and a size of a puncture hole is enlarged by gradually increasing the diameter of the guide port 220, so that the dilator 200 can smoothly enter the left atrium, thereby making the distal end of the introducer sheath 620 sleeved outside the dilator 200 enter the left atrium, so as to facilitate carrying out the follow-up surgery.

[0089] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the first shell 100 comprises a first end 110 and a second end 120, the first end 110 and the second end 120 are located at two ends of the first shell 100 in the first direction, the first end 110 is provided with a mounting hole 111 extending in the first direction, the dilator 200 is fixed in the mounting hole 111, the second end 120 is provided with a penetrating hole 121 extending in the first direction, the puncture needle 300 penetrates into the first shell 100 from the penetrating hole 121 and penetrates through the dilator 200, and before the distal end of the dilator 200 reaches a pre-puncture position of a heart, the distal end of the puncture needle 300 is hidden in the dilator 200, so as to achieve the reciprocating movement of the puncture needle 300 in the dilator 200 in the first direction. Illustratively, the second end 120 is a Luer connector, and the guide wire 700 and the puncture needle 300 can penetrate into the dilator 200 through the Luer connector. After the surgery is completed, the operator may inject normal saline into the Luer connector with a syringe, so as to facilitate flushing an inner cavity of the puncture needle 300.

When the operator carries out atrial septum puncture, the operator is capable of pushing the driving assembly 410 to move in the first direction to make the distal end of the puncture needle 300 protrude from the dilator 200.

[0095] The driving assembly 410 comprises a fixing block 411 and a driving block 412. The fixing block 411 is sleeved on the puncture needle 300, which is conductive to improving a stability of the puncture needle 300 driven by the fixing block 411 in the first direction. The driving block 412 is arranged on the first shell 100, and the driving block 412 is connected with the fixing block 411 through the guide hole 130, so that the operator can directly drive the puncture needle outside the first shell 100, which is conductive to improving the convenience for the operator in the use process.

[0096] With reference to FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, the pushing mechanism 400 further comprises a guide assembly 420, and the guide assembly 420 is arranged between the driving assembly 410 and the first shell 100, wherein the guide assembly 420 is configured to provide guidance for the driving assembly 410 to push the puncture needle 300 to move in the first direction, so as to improve a stability of a movement of the pushing assembly in the first direction, thereby avoiding the occurrence of jamming.

[0097] Specifically, the guide assembly 420 comprises a guide groove 421 and a guide member 422, wherein the guide groove 421 is arranged on the inner wall of the first shell 100 in the first direction, and the guide member 422 is connected with the driving assembly 410 without the guide groove 421. The guide member 422 is partially located in the guide groove 421, and the guide member 422 is capable of moving in the guide groove 421 in the first direction. The guide assembly 420 is simple in structure and easy to realize.

[0098] In other embodiments, the guide groove 421 may be arranged on the driving assembly 410 in the first direction, and the guide member 422 is connected with the first shell 100 without the guide groove 421. The guide member 422 is partially located in the guide groove 421, and the guide member 422 is capable of moving in the guide groove 421 in the first direction, thereby achieving an effect the same as above, which will not be repeated herein.

[0099] As shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, the puncture device further comprises a first sealing member 500, the first sealing member 500 is sleeved on the puncture needle 300, and the first sealing member 500 is hermetically connected with the first end 110 of the first shell 100, so as to block blood flowing back from one end of the heart, thereby avoiding the blood from overflowing to one side of the first sealing member 500 far away from the first end 110.

[0100] In addition, the pushing mechanism 400 further comprises a reset member 430 sleeved on the puncture needle 300, wherein two ends of the reset member 430 respectively abut against the first shell 100 and the driving assembly 410. When the operator pushes the driving block 412, so as to drive the fixing block 411 to push the distal end of the puncture needle 300 to protrude from the dilator 200, the reset member 430 is compressed. After the puncture is completed, the operator releases the driving block 412, and an elastic action of the compressed reset member 430 can drive the fixing block 411 to retract into the dilator 200, thereby achieving an effect of automatic reset.

[0101] Illustratively, the reset member 430 is a spring, and the spring has a very good automatic reset function, a low cost and a stable performance.

[0102] Further, two ends of the reset member 430 respectively abut against the fixing block 411 and the first sealing member 500, thereby achieving an effect of fixing the two ends. In order to improve an effect of fixing the reset member 430 by the fixing block 411 and the first sealing member 500, opposite ends of the fixing block 411 and the first sealing member 500 are respectively provided with accommodating grooves, and two ends of the reset member 430 are respectively located in the two accommodating grooves, thereby improving a stability of the reset member 430.

[0103] The first end 110 is provided with a first pressure measuring hole 112, the first pressure measuring hole 112 is communicated with the mounting hole 111, and the operator is capable of measuring a blood pressure in the mounting hole 111 through the first pressure measuring hole 112, so as to facilitate the operator to detect a heart blood pressure in real time in the surgery process. Specifically, the puncture device further comprises a pressure sensor arranged in the first pressure measuring hole 112. Due to an obvious pressure difference between a right atrium and a left atrium, after the puncture needle 300 enters the left atrium, the pressure sensor can immediately obtain atrial pressure change data to remind the operator whether the puncture is successful or not. Illustratively, the first pressure measuring hole 112 may have a Luer connector structure, so as to facilitate connecting with the pressure sensor. In addition, the Luer connector can be connected with a syringe, so as to facilitate the operator to inject normal saline into the first pressure measuring hole 112, thereby flushing a gap between the outer wall of the puncture needle 300 on one side of the first sealing member 500 close to the first end 110 and the inner wall of the dilator 200.

[0104] Alternatively, the puncture needle 300 may be welded and fixed with the pushing mechanism 400. Specifically, the fixing block 411 is welded and fixed with the puncture needle 300, thereby improving a stability of stably driving the puncture needle 300 to move in the first direction by the fixing block 411.

[0105] In other embodiments, the puncture needle 300 is provided with a limiting protrusion, in a pushing direction of the pushing mechanism 400, the limiting protrusion is located in front of the pushing mechanism 400, and the limiting protrusion is capable of abutting against an end face of the pushing mechanism 400, thereby improving the stability of stably driving the puncture needle 300 to move in the first direction by the fixing block 411.

[0106] In addition, the first shell 100 is provided with an energy on-off switch electrically connected with the radio-frequency puncture instrument 800, so that the operator may control a radio-frequency energy switch without operating the radio-frequency puncture instrument 800 during the surgery. Alternatively, the puncture device is provided with a foot switch electrically connected with the radio-frequency puncture instrument 800, so as to facilitate the operator to control the radio-frequency energy switch by pedaling in the surgery process.

[0107] By using the puncture device, the operator transports the distal end of the dilator 200 into the right atrium through an inferior vena cava of the patient, and after confirming that the distal end of the dilator reaches a puncture site of the atrial septum by an ultrasound or an X-ray, the operator pushes the driving block 412 on the first shell 100 to push out the automatically hidden puncture needle 300, and simultaneously operates the radio-frequency current switch or the foot trigger switch on the first shell 100 to emit the quick and highly focused radio-frequency energy to penetrate through the atrial septum, so as to transport the puncture needle 300 into the left atrium, thereby establishing an access into the left atrium for the follow-up surgery.

[0108] Meanwhile, according to the puncture device, it is unnecessary to exert an excessively large mechanical thrust by a sharp mechanical needle to forcibly penetrate through the atrial septum during the surgery, so that the puncture position of the atrial septum is more accurate, safe and controllable, an incidence of complications related to the atrial septum puncture is reduced, a technical difficulty of the atrial septum puncture is reduced, and a learning curve is shortened. Therefore, the puncture device is a safe, reliable, controllable and convenient novel puncture device.

[0109] According to the puncture device, it is unnecessary to withdraw the guide wire 700 and insert the puncture needle 300, and withdraw the puncture needle 300 and insert the guide wire 700 in the whole atrial septum puncture surgery process, thereby achieving a zero-exchange workflow, and it is unnecessary to replace the needle, the guide wire 700, the dilator 200, the introducer sheath 620, and the like Meanwhile, after confirming the puncture position, if the operator is not satisfied with the puncture position and repositions the puncture position, the operator only needs to release the driving block 412. In this case, the distal end of the puncture needle 300 retracts into the dilator 200 under the elastic action of the reset member 430, and then the operator may push out the guide wire 700 for repositioning. Alternatively, an angle of the controllable bending introducer sheath 620 is adjusted after the retraction of the distal end of the puncture needle 300, so as to adjust the puncture point.
