Description

The guide that loads the implant into the delivery system Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a guiding device for loading an implant into a delivery system. Background Art

[0002] Heart failure (HF) is a very serious clinical syndrome. It is a clinical syndrome caused by myocardial damage, which leads to changes in myocardial structure and function, and ultimately leads to poor ventricular pumping and (or) filling function. HF is a "malignant tumor" among cardiovascular diseases. Existing treatments may only help patients prolong their lives, but cannot achieve a cure.

[0003] Valvular heart disease is also one of the most common heart diseases in my country, the main type of which is valve damage caused by rheumatic fever. In recent years, with the development of an aging population, valve degeneration (including calcification and myxoid degeneration, etc.) and metabolic valve damage have also increased in my country.

[0004] Minimally invasive interventional treatments offer advantages such as the lack of thoracotomy, minimal trauma, and rapid patient recovery. Over the past decade, interventional therapy has demonstrated that interventional procedures can address cases that can be treated by both internal and external medicine, as well as cases that cannot be treated by surgery. In the new century, research into interventional treatments for valvular disease has significantly accelerated, with percutaneous valve implantation progressing from experimental research to small-scale clinical parallel research. Valvular disease interventions may overcome technical bottlenecks and rapidly achieve widespread clinical application, once again becoming a focus of attention in the field of interventional cardiology.

[0005] However, in the related technologies, there is a need to press the interventional valve stent into the vertebral body, which requires reducing the size of some stents and causes complicated operation steps. Currently, no effective solution has been proposed.

[0006] Utility Model Content

[0007] The main purpose of the present application is to provide a guiding device for loading an implant into a delivery system, so as to solve the problem in the related art that the interventional valve stent needs to be pressed into the vertebral body, which requires reducing the size of part of the stent and has complicated operation steps.

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides a guide device for loading an implant into a conveying system, comprising: a main body, the main body being a conical body, the main body being provided with a first cavity running through its central axis direction, the end of the main body with a smaller opening being provided with a pipe, the other end with a larger opening being provided with a side extending outward in an arc, the side being provided with a fixing device, and the fixing device being located on the outside of the main body.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixing device includes a plurality of slide grooves, and the plurality of slide grooves are located at the side positions, and snap holes are provided on the inner sides of the slide grooves.

[0010] Furthermore, the pipeline is provided with a second cavity, and the first cavity and the second cavity are communicated with each other.

[0011] Furthermore, the volume of the first cavity is greater than the volume of the second cavity.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner wall of the second cavity is provided with a frosted layer.

[0013] Furthermore, a hollow tube is provided at one end close to the second cavity, a guide head is provided in the hollow tube, and a valve stent is wrapped on the surface of the guide head.

[0014] Furthermore, the hollow tube is covered with a guide.

[0015] Furthermore, the seeker is made of polymer material.

[0016] This solves the technical problem in related technologies that the interventional valve stent needs to be pressed into the vertebral body, which requires reducing the size of some stents and has complicated operation steps. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
