Description

A valve compression device Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular relates to a valve compression device. Background Art

[0002] Transcatheter valve intervention usually involves suturing the pericardial tissue to the valve frame with sutures. Before performing the interventional valve surgery, a specific catheter is used to load and transport the valve to the target position for valve release and deployment. During the loading and transportation process, damage to the artificial valve needs to be minimized as much as possible.

[0003] When loading an existing artificial valve, the valve holder loaded with the artificial valve is connected by a connecting structure such as a claw, and the artificial valve is dragged into a compression lumen with a tapered inner diameter, so that the artificial valve enters from the large end of the compression lumen and exits from the small end. During the dragging process, the diameter of the lumen is continuously reduced to achieve compression of the size of the artificial valve, making it easier for the artificial valve to be introduced into the catheter and loaded onto the delivery system. However, the existing valve holder loaded with the artificial valve still has the following problems during the compression process:

[0004] The existing valve frame itself has a strong radial supporting force, and the resistance is large when the valve is dragged. At the same time, the valve frame equipped with an artificial valve compresses the size of the artificial valve as the tube diameter continues to decrease. The force pushing the valve frame to move the artificial valve is uneven, which can easily cause damage or even breakage at the sutures between the artificial valve and the valve frame, increasing the cost of use. Therefore, it is very necessary to involve a valve compression device for use in the existing medical device field.

[0044] As shown in FIG1-7 , a valve compression device is provided, including a compression housing 10 and a connecting tube 20 , a funnel tube 30 , a compression arc plate 40 and a pressing assembly arranged in the compression housing 10 .

[0045] As shown in Figure 3, the connecting tube 20 is smoothly connected to the small-diameter end of the funnel tube 30 to form a channel for accommodating the valve; placement ports 101 are provided on opposite sides of the compression shell 10, one of the placement ports 101 is connected to the connecting tube 20, and the other placement port 101 is connected to the large-diameter end of the funnel tube 30; the shape of the compression shell 10 can be one of the common shapes such as round, square and polygonal; the outer sides of the two placement ports 101 can be provided with covers or other components detachably connected to the placement ports 101 as needed, so as to further ensure the sterile environment inside the compression shell 10. The funnel tube 30 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of operating ports 31 penetrating the tube wall; the minor diameter of the funnel tube 30 is adapted to the inner diameter of the connecting tube 20, the funnel tube 30 and the connecting tube 20 are integrally formed or welded together, and the connecting gap between the funnel tube 30 and the connecting tube 20 is smooth, that is, the gap between the connecting tube 20 and the funnel tube 30 will not cause damage to the valve; the inner diameter of the large end of the funnel tube 30 can place the valve before compression, and the inner diameter of the connecting tube 20 can accommodate the compressed valve; the placement port 101 close to the funnel tube 30 is used to deliver the uncompressed valve, and the placement port 101 close to the connecting tube 20 is used to deliver the compressed valve, and the compressed valve is taken out from the placement port 101, and reference can be made to the existing technology.

[0046] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the pressing assembly includes a traction plate 50 with a slope, an elastic support assembly 60 and a moving ring 70; there are multiple traction plates 50 and they surround the funnel tube 30. One end of the elastic support assembly 60 is connected to the inner side of the traction plate 50, and the other end is installed on the circumference of the connecting tube 20 or the funnel tube 30; the moving ring 70 is sleeved on the outer side of the multiple traction plates 50 and can move along the axial direction of the funnel tube 30; when the moving ring 70 moves from the connecting tube 20 to the funnel tube 30, the moving ring 70 simultaneously squeezes the multiple traction plates 50 to drive the traction plates 50 to move toward the funnel tube 30; the elastic support assembly 60 can provide support for the traction plates 50, and can also drive the traction plates 50 to return to their original positions when the squeezing force of the moving ring 70 on the traction plates 50 disappears.

When multiple compression arc plates 40 move toward the axis of the funnel tube 30 at the same time, the valve placed at the large diameter end of the funnel tube 30 can be compressed. The compression is achieved by the compression arc plate 40, which can avoid damage to the valve. The simultaneous action of multiple compression arc plates 40 can ensure that the valve is stable in the compression process; at the same time, the elastic support component 60 can also play a certain role in buffering the movement of the compression arc plate 40 during the compression process of the valve, thereby further avoiding valve damage.

The rotating handwheel 12 drives the ball screw 87 to rotate. Under the action of the ball screw 87, the movable ring 70 is driven to move from the first plane portion 51 to the second plane portion 53. During the movement, the movable ring 70 simultaneously squeezes the multiple first slope portions 52 surrounding the outside of the connecting tube 20. The first slope portion 52 drives the third plane portion 55 to move toward the axis of the funnel tube 30. The action of the third plane portion 55 drives the compression arc plate 40 to pass through the operating port 31 to compress the valve located in the funnel tube 30. When the connecting plate 43 rests on the surface of the limit block 32, the compression of the valve is completed, and the compressed valve can be removed by relying on existing technology. When the compression is completed and the components need to be reset, the reverse operation can be performed.

[0059] When the valve to be compressed is placed in the funnel tube 30 through the conducting assembly 90: the conducting tube 91 is pressed, and the conducting tube 91 approaches the funnel tube 30 along the axial direction of the placement port 101, and the conducting guide rod 92 also moves synchronously into the compression shell 10. When the pressure plate 94 at the tail of the conducting guide rod 92 abuts against the connecting rod 41, the rotating block 96 is rotated, so that the rotating block 96 limits the movement of the conducting tube 91; the valve to be compressed is placed in the conducting tube 91 connected to the funnel tube 30, and the valve to be compressed is pushed to the funnel tube 30; when the valve to be compressed reaches the target position to be compressed, the rotating block 96 is rotated in the opposite direction to release the restriction of the rotating block 96 on the conducting tube 91. Under the action of the reset spring 93, the conducting tube 91 drives the conducting guide rod 92 to reset, and the conducting tube 91 is away from the funnel tube 30, thereby avoiding affecting the compression process.
