AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing plugs are difficult to recycle and pose a high risk of replacement, especially since biodegradable materials have high frictional resistance. Traditional sheath designs neglect the plug recycling process, leading to difficulties in plug recycling.

Method used

A variable-diameter sheath was designed. Through an adjustment mechanism and a connecting mechanism, the folded tube body is unfolded by using an inflation port and gas expansion to form a trumpet-shaped opening, thereby reducing the frictional resistance when the plug is retrieved. The design includes an adjustment mechanism, a connecting mechanism, and a tube body mechanism. The folded tube body is unfolded by using an inflation port and gas expansion to form a trumpet-shaped opening, thereby reducing the resistance when the plug is retrieved.

Benefits of technology

The variable-diameter sheath design reduces frictional resistance during plug retrieval, improves the success rate of plug retrieval, and reduces the risk of plug replacement.

[0002] With the development of interventional medical devices and interventional surgical techniques, patients with congenital heart disease can be treated by minimally invasive intervention. Conventional minimally invasive interventional surgery uses a heart occluder for occlusion therapy. However, the mainstream occluder on the market is made of nickel-titanium alloy material, which uses the super-elasticity of the nickel-titanium alloy material to achieve occlusion therapy at the defect site. Then, with the development of innovative materials, degradable occluders have been gradually applied.

[0003] During the operation, if the occluder size is not suitable, the occluder needs to be recovered and the occluder size needs to be selected again. Whether the occluder can be smoothly recovered into the sheath and safely removed is a very important problem. Since the elasticity of the degradable material itself is much weaker than that of the nickel-titanium alloy material, the frictional resistance is large, and the traditional delivery sheath usually only considers the delivery process of the occluder, but ignores the recovery of the occluder, making the recovery of the occluder difficult and increasing the risk of replacing the occluder.
