Description

A digestive tract stent recovery device and an endoscope cannula

[0001] Cross-reference to Related Applications

[0002] The present disclosure claims the priority of the Chinese patent publication No. 2024106183086 entitled "A digestive tract stent recovery device and an endoscope cannula" filed on May 17, 2024 with the China Patent Office, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The present disclosure relates to the field of medical devices, in particular, to a digestive tract stent recovery device and an endoscope cannula. BACKGROUND

[0004] With the development of society and the improvement of living standards, obesity and diabetes have become a growing health problem worldwide. Currently, the treatment methods for weight loss and diabetes mainly include drug therapy, diet control and surgery, etc. Among them, surgery is an effective treatment method, but the operation risk is large, and it causes irreversible damage to the physiological structure of the human body and postoperative complications. Therefore, it is of great significance to find a safe and effective non-surgical treatment method.

[0005] In recent years, the duodenojejunal endoscopic sleeve placement technology has achieved remarkable results in weight loss and diabetes treatment. This technology fixes the proximal end of the sleeve with a stent, and then places a sleeve between the duodenum and the jejunum to restrict food digestion and absorption, thereby achieving weight loss and reducing blood sugar. Since the stent needs to be fixed on the upper end of the duodenum to configure a fixed sleeve to prevent the sleeve from falling off, in order to better fix it, the stent is often designed with an anchor structure to prevent its own displacement. However, this structure poses a great challenge to the recovery of the stent.

[0006] In the current recovery method, the stent is usually pulled out of the digestive tract by physical force. Since the stent fixed by the duodenojejunal endoscopic sleeve placement often has a structure designed to prevent displacement, such as spikes and blades, this direct recovery operation relying on physical force can injure the digestive tract wall during the recovery process, causing bleeding, perforation and other serious complications. Currently, this technology has problems such as upper gastrointestinal tract injury during stent removal, which poses certain risks to patients. In addition, since this type of product is an implanted product, research on clinical removal is often needed to achieve continuous improvement and design upgrade of the product. However, the current recovery method is to discard it as waste, which cannot be separated and further studied.

[0007] In view of this, the present disclosure is proposed.

[0040] In addition, if the terms "first", "second" and the like appear, they are only configured to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0041] It should be noted that the features in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0042] Please refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the present disclosure provides a digestive tract stent recovery device 100, which comprises a detachable handle 110, a tube body 120, a horn-shaped protective sleeve 130 and an endoscope recovery cap 140 configured to be mounted on the tip of an endoscope.

[0043] In the present disclosure, the tube body 120 is a hollow tubular structure, and the two ends of the tube body 120 are respectively a first connecting end 121 and a second connecting end 122. The first connecting end 121 is connected with the detachable handle 110, and the second connecting end 122 is connected with the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130. The detachable handle 110 is detachable by itself, so that the digestive tract stent recovery device 100 is easy to disassemble after use, thereby facilitating the removal of the recovered digestive tract stent inside for subsequent research.

[0044] In the present embodiment, the inner diameter of the second connecting end 122 is larger than the inner diameter of the tube body 120. The inner diameter of the tube body 120 is 10-19 mm, and the outer diameter is 12-21 mm. When the second connecting end 122 is connected with the tube body 120, the inner diameter of the second connecting end 122 is 0.1-4 mm larger than the inner diameter of the tube body 120. In the present embodiment, the inner diameter of the second connecting end 122 is expanded, which facilitates the insertion of the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130 into the second connecting end 122. Specifically, the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130 comprises a connecting column 131 and a horn sleeve 132 connected with each other, and the connecting column 131 is bonded to the inner side of the second connecting end 122. Through the above design, there is no step between the end of the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130 (i.e. the position of the connecting column 131) and the tube body 120, which avoids the situation that the digestive tract stent is stuck.

[0045] The endoscope recovery cap 140 is horn-shaped. When the digestive tract stent recovery device 100 is installed, the endoscope 200 is first inserted into the tube body 120 until it passes through the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130, and then the endoscope recovery cap 140 is installed on the tip of the endoscope 200. When working, the endoscope grasps the digestive tract stent, and then pulls the digestive tract stent into the endoscope recovery cap 140. The endoscope recovery cap 140 can wrap the digestive tract stent to avoid its puncturing the wall of the digestive tract. After being wrapped by the endoscope recovery cap 140, the digestive tract stent is pulled out along the direction of the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130 to the detachable handle 110.

[0046] In the present disclosure, the endoscope recovery cap 140 protects the grasped digestive tract stent, so that the grasped digestive tract stent crosses the pylorus under protection, avoiding damage to the pylorus during the recovery process. At the same time, the opening of the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130 facilitates the entry of the endoscope recovery cap 140 carrying the digestive tract stent, thereby facilitating the pulling into the tube body 120.

[0047] In the present disclosure, the structure of the endoscope recovery cap 140 and the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130 is strictly controlled, wherein the inner taper angle of the endoscope recovery cap 140 is smaller than the inner taper angle of the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130; optionally, the inner taper angle of the endoscope recovery cap 140 is 25°-40°; the inner taper angle of the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130 is 30°-50°. By controlling the inner taper angles of the endoscope recovery cap 140 and the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130, the opening of the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130 is larger than the opening of the endoscope recovery cap 140, which facilitates the entry of the endoscope recovery cap 140 into the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130.

[0048] In addition, in the present disclosure, the length of the endoscope recovery cap 140 is 2-10 mm smaller than the length of the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130; the minimum diameter of the endoscope recovery cap 140 is 4-8 mm smaller than the minimum diameter of the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130. By controlling the lengths and minimum diameters of the endoscope recovery cap 140 and the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130, the endoscope recovery cap 140 can be completely wrapped by the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130, which facilitates the entry of the endoscope recovery cap 140 into the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130. Further, in the present disclosure, the hardness of the endoscope recovery cap 140 is 30-75A, and the thickness is 0.4-1.8 mm; the endoscope recovery cap 140 is prepared by selecting a material with moderate hardness and thickness, so that it has a certain elasticity and hardness, which facilitates the wrapping of the digestive tract stent to be recovered.

[0049] Further, in the present disclosure, the inner wall of the tube body 120, the inner wall of the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130, and the outer wall of the endoscope recovery cap 140 are all provided with a hydrophilic coating; the hydrophilic coating includes but is not limited to a PVP coating; optionally, the hydrophilic coating can select different curing methods according to the surface material it coats, such as thermal curing or photocuring; wherein the thermal curing temperature of thermal curing is 50-70℃, and the curing time is 10-120 min; preferably 40-80 min; the photocuring time is 1-15 min.

[0050] Specifically, the material of the tube body 120 includes but is not limited to one or more of polyvinyl chloride, silicone, polyurethane, nylon, and polyethylene; the curing method of the hydrophilic coating on the tube body 120 is thermal curing; the materials of the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130 and the endoscope recovery cap 140 respectively include but are not limited to one of silicone and polyurethane; the curing method of the hydrophilic coating on the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130 and the endoscope recovery cap 140 is photocuring.

[0051] The present disclosure can realize that the recovery force of the digestive tract stent pulled into the endoscope recovery cap 140 is not greater than 40N; preferably less than 30N, through the above-mentioned double-structure protection and the setting of the hydrophilic coating. The force value pulled into the sleeve is greatly reduced, which can maximize the protection of the cardiac part (avoiding cardiac injury).

[0052] In addition, the detachable handle 110 in the present disclosure comprises a handle body 111, a handle cover 112 and a sealing ring 113, one end of the handle body 111 is detachably connected with the handle cover 112, and the other end is fixedly connected with the tube body 120, and the sealing ring 113 is arranged between the handle cover 112 and the handle body 111. After the digestive tract stent is withdrawn from the body, the detachable structure design between the handle body 111 and the handle cover 112 is used to separate the detachable handle 110, so that the stent can be taken out for subsequent research, continuous product upgrading and iteration to improve the adverse reactions of subsequent products.

[0053] It should be understood that the detachable structure design in the present disclosure is not limited to the detachable handle 110 itself, as long as the recovered digestive tract stent can be taken out from the digestive tract stent recovery device 100, for example, the connection between the detachable handle 110 and the tube body 120 can also be designed to be detachable.

[0054] In addition, the present disclosure also provides a cannula for an endoscope, which comprises the above-mentioned digestive tract stent recovery device 100.

[0079] Experimental Example

[0080] The digestive tract stent recovery device 100 of examples 1-5 and comparative examples 1-4 is used, the endoscope 200 is first inserted into the tube body 120 to pass through the trumpet-shaped protective sleeve 130 completely, and then the endoscope recovery cap 140 is installed at the tip of the endoscope 200 (in the comparative example 4, the endoscope recovery cap 140 is not provided, i.e. the endoscope recovery cap 140 does not need to be installed), a human body model is used, as shown in FIG. 5, and the endoscope is inserted into the stomach through the human body model mouth, then the tube body 120 and the detachable handle 110 reserved outside the body are fixed, and the endoscope is pushed to the pylorus. The recovery grabber for endoscope is inserted into the mirror forceps channel of the endoscope, the digestive tract stent to be recovered is reduced and pulled into the protection range of the endoscope recovery cap 140, and then the endoscope is withdrawn to the vicinity of the trumpet-shaped protective sleeve 130 in the stomach. Then the digestive tract stent to be recovered is pulled into the tube body 120, and the maximum force value F of pulling into the tube body 120 is recorded. Through repeated tests for 15 times, the success rate of each time is calculated, and whether there is a scratch in the esophagus / intestine is observed.

[0081] From the above table, it can be seen that during the simulation of use, examples 1-5 can all form good protection for the esophagus and intestines, and the recovery force is less than 20N. When the second end of the tube is connected and the diameter of the tube is the same (comparative example 1), the recovery force will increase significantly due to the inability to form a good guide. When there is no hydrophilic coating, the surface friction increases, resulting in a significant increase in the recovery force. At the same time, when there is no horn-shaped protective sleeve, although the recovery force is not large, due to the lack of the guiding effect of the horn-shaped protective sleeve, the recovery cap with the stent cannot be pulled into the recovery tube at one time. In addition, when there is no recovery cap, it will cause a certain degree of damage to the intestines.

[0082] In summary, the disclosed embodiment provides a digestive tract stent recovery device 100, which uses an endoscope recovery cap 140 to protect the captured digestive tract stent, allowing the captured digestive tract stent to pass through the pylorus under protection, avoiding damage to the pylorus during the recovery process, and then reaching the stomach. Under the lubricating effect of the hydrophilic coating, the second connecting end 122 and the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130 are specially designed to facilitate the entry of the endoscope recovery cap 140 carrying the digestive tract stent into the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130, which realizes the second protection of the horn-shaped protective sleeve 130, greatly reduces the force value of pulling into the sleeve, and the recovery force is not greater than 40N, which can maximize the protection of the cardia (avoiding damage to the cardia), and the cardia is pulled into the tube body 120, which can avoid damage to the esophagus during the withdrawal of the digestive tract stent from the body. In addition, the disclosed embodiment has a detachable handle 110 that can be detached, which can be separated after the digestive tract stent is withdrawn from the body, facilitating the removal of the stent for subsequent research, continuous product upgrading and iteration to improve the adverse reactions of subsequent products.

[0083] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, but the protection scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Any changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the present disclosure can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art, and should be covered within the protection scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of the present disclosure should be subject to the protection scope of the claims. Industrial applicability
