Description

A push rod assembly and medical device

technical field

The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a push rod assembly and a medical device.

Background technique

Cardiovascular disease has become the number one killer threatening human health, including various vascular access abnormalities such as hemangioma, dissection, embolism, and stenosis. For vascular diseases such as hemangioma or dissection, embolization coils can be used for embolization therapy. An embolic coil is a permanently implanted wire-wound structure that, when implanted in a diseased area, can form a thrombus in the diseased area to form an embolized blood vessel. In order to be able to embolize blood vessels of different diameters, the embolic coils can have different lengths or different diameters. During use, the embolic coil is connected to the push rod assembly in the slender form of the primary spring and fixed in the introduction sheath. The loop is pushed into the target area of the blood vessel for release. After the embolic coil is released, it transforms from a primary spring to a complex 3D shape, such as a spiral, diamond, spherical, etc. Embolic coils are highly flexible and capable of delivery through narrow or tortuous vessel structures, but when closure of larger diameter vessels is required, multiple embolic coils may be required.

In the operation of pushing and releasing the embolic coil, there are many uncertain factors that may cause the coil to not be well positioned in the blood vessel, thereby causing inaccurate release positions, and once the push assembly in the prior art pushes the embolic coil After advancing out of the catheter and into the blood vessel, it is difficult to withdraw the embolic coil, and it is also difficult to reposition the embolic coil.

<Example 1>

Fig. 1 shows a schematic structural view of the push rod assembly provided by this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1 , the push rod assembly includes a push rod 100 , a limit mechanism 200 and a control rod 300 . The push rod 100 has a first inner cavity axially penetrating. The limiting mechanism 200 includes a first sub-limiting mechanism 210 and a second sub-limiting mechanism 220 . Wherein, the first sub-limiting mechanism 210 is provided with a first limiting area 211, and also includes a first blocking portion 212, and the first blocking portion 212 is arranged at the proximal end of the first limiting area 211. , and the first stop portion 212 is provided with a first through hole 213 communicating with the first limiting area 211 . The second sub-limiting mechanism 220 is connected to the distal end of the push rod 100 . The control rod 300 is configured to be movably passed through the first inner cavity and the first through hole 213 .

The first sub-limiting mechanism 210 of the push rod assembly is used to be connected to the proximal end of a medical implant such as the embolic coil 10, and is used to push the embolic coil along the second lumen of a catheter 1. 10 is pushed and released to the target location in the target blood vessel in the patient.

The push rod assembly has a locked position and an unlocked position. When the push rod assembly is in the locked position, the distal end portion of the second sub-limiting mechanism 220 is located inside the first limiting area 211, and the distal end of the control rod 300 passes through the The first inner chamber and the first through hole 213 are also connected to the distal part of the second sub-limiting mechanism 220, so that the distal part of the second sub-limiting mechanism 220 is limited to the inside the first limiting area 211, and prevent the distal part of the second sub-limiting mechanism 220 from breaking away from the first limiting area, so that the second sub-limiting mechanism 220 and the first sub-limiting mechanism 220 The mechanism 210 remains connected so that the operator can control the embolic coil 10 through the push rod 100 and adjust the position of the embolic coil 10 at any time. When the control rod 300 moves axially along the first through hole 213 to a position allowing the distal end portion of the second sub-limiting mechanism 220 to disengage from the first limiting area 211, the push rod assembly in the unlocked position. At this time, the second sub-limiting mechanism 220 can be disconnected from the first sub-limiting mechanism 210, and then the embolism coil 10 (carrying the first sub-limiting mechanism 210) can be separated from the push button. Rod 100. The advantage of this push rod assembly is that as long as the push rod assembly is kept at the locking position, in the process of releasing the embolic coil 10, once the operator finds that the position of the embolic coil 10 is not good, Even if the embolic coil 10 has been completely pushed out of the catheter 1, the embolic coil 10 can still be retracted into the catheter 1 and the position of the embolic coil 10 can be readjusted by operating the push rod assembly After releasing, it is beneficial to improve the positioning accuracy of the embolic coil 10 and improve the therapeutic effect. Not only that, at the bending position of the blood vessel, the cross-section of the catheter 1 will be deformed from a circular shape to an ellipse, resulting in an increase in the radial dimension of the cross-section of the catheter 1 in a certain direction. When the push rod assembly pushes the embolism coil 10 through the bending position, the push rod assembly is in the locked position under the presence of the control rod 300, avoiding the first sub-limit mechanism 210 and The second sub-limiting mechanism 220 is separated in advance due to the change of the radial dimension of the cross-section of the catheter 1 at the bending area (that is, the distal end portion of the second sub-limiting mechanism 220 breaks away from the The above-mentioned first limiting area 211) improves the reliability of the push rod assembly.

Preferably, the push rod 100 can be a tubular structure formed by helically braiding metal wires or cut from a metal tube, which has good flexibility and cornering performance, and can reduce stagnation, Probability of occurrence of discounts etc. The control rod 300 is generally made of a single strand of metal wire, and its diameter may be 50% to 60% of the diameter of the first through hole 213, which not only makes the push rod assembly have better overall flexibility, It also makes the movement space of the control rod 300 smaller in the radial direction, thereby reducing the shaking range of the first sub-limit mechanism 210 and the embolism coil 10 when pushing.

Please refer to FIG. 2 , a radially inwardly recessed groove is formed on the side of the first sub-limiting mechanism 210 , and the groove can serve as the first limiting area 211 .

The second engaging portion 214 is used to connect with the proximal end of the embolic coil 10 (as shown in FIG. 3 ). In this embodiment, the first blocking portion 212 , the first limiting area 211 and the second joint portion 214 can be formed simultaneously by removing a part of material in the middle area of a cylinder. It can be understood that when the cross-section of the cylinder is larger than the cross-section of the embolic coil 10, the distal end of the second engaging portion 214 can be formed such that the cross-section gradually decreases from the proximal end to the distal end. The conical head, and the distal end surface of the conical head matches the cross section of the embolic coil 10 . In addition, preferably, the second joint portion 214 is provided with a fourth through hole 215 communicating with the first limiting area 211 and the inner cavity of the embolic coil 10 .

Please refer to FIG. 4 , on the side of the second sub-limiting mechanism 220 is formed a second limiting area 221 radially inwardly recessed, and the second limiting area 221 is aligned with the first limiting area of the push rod 100 . The lumen is connected. The second sub-limiting mechanism 220 also includes a second stopper 222, the second stopper 222 is arranged at the distal end of the second limiter area 221, and the second stopper 222 constitutes the second limiter. The distal portion of the bit mechanism 220. The second blocking portion 222 is provided with a second through hole 223 , and the second through hole communicates with the second limiting area 221 . Further, the second sub-limiting mechanism 220 also includes a first joint portion 224, which is arranged at the proximal end of the second limiting area 221 and connected with the push rod 100 (as shown in FIG. 5 ). The first joint portion 224 is provided with a third through hole 225 , and the third through hole 225 is used to communicate with the first inner cavity and the second limiting area 221 . Similar to the first sub-limiting mechanism 210, the second sub-limiting mechanism 220 can also simultaneously form the second stopper 222 and the second limiting mechanism by removing a part of material in the middle area of a cylinder. The bit area 221 and the first bonding portion 224 .

When the push rod assembly and the plug spring ring 10 are assembled, and the push rod assembly is in the locked position, the first stopper 212 is located in the second limiting area 221, and the second The blocking part 222 (that is, the distal part of the second sub-limiting mechanism 220) is located in the first limiting area 211, and the distal end of the control rod 300 passes through the first inner cavity, the The third through hole 225, the first through hole 213, the second through hole 223, and preferably through the fourth through hole 215, so that the second blocking portion 222 is limited in the first within the limiting area 211 , and limit the first blocking portion 212 within the second limiting area 221 . Optionally, the distal end of the control rod 300 can also extend into the lumen of the embolic coil 10 . For the convenience of assembly, in this embodiment, preferably, the first through hole 213 and the fourth through hole 215 extend along the axial direction of the first sub-limiting mechanism 210, and the second through hole 223 and the The third through hole 225 extends along the axial direction of the second sub-limiting mechanism 220 .

It can be understood that the width of the first blocking portion 212 is the depth of the first limiting area 211, the width of the second blocking portion 222 is the depth of the second limiting area 221, and the first The depth of the limiting area 211 and the second limiting area 221 refers to the size of the corresponding limiting area in the radial direction of the push rod assembly.

Next, the process of pushing and releasing the embolism coil 10 by the push rod assembly will be described.

Firstly, the push rod assembly and the embolism coil 10 are assembled, and the push rod assembly is in the locked position.

The second blocking portion 222 can disengage from the first limiting area 211 , and the first blocking portion 212 can disengage from the second limiting area 221 to realize the release of the embolic coil 10 . Before switching the push rod assembly to the unlocked position, if the position of the embolic coil 10 deviates from the target position, the operator can apply a retraction force on the proximal end of the push rod 100 to push the The embolic coil 10 is recovered into the second inner cavity, and released again after the position of the embolic coil 10 is adjusted.

Further, this embodiment also provides a medical device, including the medical implant such as the embolic coil 10 and the push rod assembly, the first sub-limiting mechanism 210 of the push rod assembly is connected to The proximal end of the medical implant.

<Example 2>

The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment mainly lies in the structure of the second sub-limiting mechanism. Please refer to FIG. 9 to FIG. 12 , in this embodiment, the second sub-limiting mechanism 220 includes a deformation part, the deformation part is arranged around the control rod 300, and the proximal end of the deformation part is connected to the At the first connection point on the push rod 100 , the distal end of the deformation part is connected to the second connection point on the control rod 300 . Preferably, the first connection point is located at the distal end of the push rod 100 and the second connection point is located at the distal end of the control rod 300 . In this way, the distal portion of the deformation portion is the distal portion of the second limiting mechanism 220 .

The push rod assembly is configured such that when the distal end of the deformation portion passes through the first through hole 213 together with the distal end of the control rod 300 and is located in the first limiting area 211 , and the When the axial distance from the second connection point to the first connection point is less than a predetermined value, the distal portion of the deformation portion expands radially until the maximum radial dimension of this portion is greater than that of the first through hole 213 When the aperture is wide, the distal end portion of the deformation part is restricted in the first limiting area 211, so that the push rod assembly is in the locking position. When the control rod 300 moves from the proximal end to the distal end until the axial distance from the second connection point to the first connection point is equal to the predetermined value, the distal portion of the deformation portion radially shrinks to The maximum radial dimension of this portion is less than or equal to the diameter of the first through hole 213, so as to allow the distal portion of the deformable part to pass through the first through hole 213 in the direction from the distal end to the proximal end and disengage from the first through hole 213. When entering the first limiting area 211, the push rod assembly is in the unlocked position. It can be understood that the radial size of the deformation portion refers to the size of the deformation portion on the radial section of the first sub-limiting mechanism 210 . And, the meanings of radial expansion and radial contraction are relative, the radial dimension of the distal part of the deformation part changes from small to large, that is, radial expansion, and the radial dimension of this part changes from large to small That is radial shrinkage.

In some implementation manners, the deformation part includes an elastic sleeve, and the elastic sleeve is disposed on the outside of the control rod 300 . Alternatively, the deformation portion includes a plurality of elastic pieces arranged around the control rod 300 , in this case, the predetermined value is equal to the length of the deformation portion in a natural state, and the natural state refers to the When the deformation part is not subjected to external force, the radial dimension of the distal part of the deformation part in the natural state is smaller than or equal to the diameter of the first through hole 213, so that this part of the deformation part can pass through The first through hole 213 . When the axial distance between the second connection point and the first connection point is smaller than the predetermined value, the distal end portion of the deformation portion is bent and deformed and radially expanded, and when the second connection point and the first connection point are When the axial distance between the first connection points is equal to the predetermined value, the distal end portion of the deformation part returns to a natural state. In some other implementation manners, the deformation part is a self-expanding structure, for example, the deformation part may include a plurality of rods that are pre-shaped into an arc, and the plurality of rods are arranged around the control rod 300, and the rods The concave side of is facing the control rod 300, where the predetermined value is greater than the axial length of the control rod 300 when the deformation part is in the natural state, when the deformation part is in the natural state , the radial dimension of the distal portion of the deformation portion is larger than the diameter of the first through hole 213, so that when the push rod assembly is in the locked position, the distal end of the rod body of the deformation portion The part is still in an arc shape, so that the entire distal end of the deformation part is in the shape of a lantern, and when the push rod assembly is in the unlocked position, the rod body can be stretched into a straight shape. The self-expanding structure means that the structural member itself has good resilience, and it deforms when it is subjected to an external force, and when the external force is canceled, the structural member can recover under the action of its own resilience. Usually, the self-expanding structure can be made of shape memory alloy.

In addition, in this embodiment, the structure of the first sub-limiting mechanism 210 may be completely the same as that in Embodiment 1, or it may be different. Please continue to refer to FIG. 9 to FIG. 12 , the first sub-limiting mechanism 210 described in the illustration is a hollow structure, which has a third inner cavity, and the third inner cavity constitutes the first limiting area 211 . The second engaging portion 214 of a sub-limiting mechanism 210 may not be provided with a fourth through hole.

Next, the process of pushing the medical implant (ie, the embolic coil 10 ) by the push rod assembly provided in this embodiment will be described.

Firstly, the push rod assembly and the embolism coil 10 are assembled, and the push rod assembly is in the locked position.

Afterwards, the embolic coil 10 is introduced into the second lumen of the catheter 1 that has been pre-implanted in the patient's body through a sheath.

The operator then applies a pushing force to the push rod assembly at the proximal end of the push rod 100 and delivers the embolic coil 10 into the body. Continue to apply pushing force to the push rod assembly, when the embolic coil 10 is completely outside the catheter 1, if the embolic coil 10 has been correctly positioned, the operator can press the control rod 300 near the end to apply a push force, and make the control rod 300 move from the proximal end to the distal end until the axial distance between the second connection point and the first connection point is equal to the predetermined value, so that the The distal portion of the deformation portion is radially contracted until the radial dimension of this portion is smaller than or equal to the diameter of the first through hole 213 , and at this time the push rod assembly is in the unlocked position. Then keep the control rod 300 and the push rod 100 axially relatively stationary, and apply a retraction force on the proximal ends of the control rod 300 and the push rod 100, so that the control rod 300 and the push rod 100 The rod 100 moves synchronously along the direction from the distal end to the proximal end until the distal end of the control rod 300 carries the distal portion of the deformation part through the first through hole 213 and is positioned at the first stop. When the proximal end side of the part 212 is reached, the embolic coil 10 carries the first sub-limiting mechanism 210 and disengages from the push rod 100 . Before switching the push rod assembly to the unlocked position, if the positioning of the embolic coil 10 is found to be inaccurate during the process of pushing the embolic coil 10, the operator can withdraw the push rod Assembly to recover the embolic coil 10 to the second lumen of the catheter 1 and release it after adjusting the position.

This embodiment also provides a medical device, including a medical implant and the push rod assembly, and the first sub-limiting mechanism 210 of the push rod assembly is connected to the proximal end of the medical implant.

In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention, through the cooperation between the control rod and the limit mechanism, the push rod assembly can be switched between the locked position and the unlocked position, and the push rod assembly is used to push and When the medical implant is released, as long as the push rod assembly remains at the locking position, the medical implant can be recovered at any time, so as to adjust the position of the medical implant, which is beneficial to improve The positioning accuracy of the medical implant improves the therapeutic effect. Not only that, when the push rod assembly is at the locking position, it can also avoid the situation that the first sub-limiting mechanism and the second sub-limiting mechanism disengage early when passing through the bending area of the blood vessel, thereby improving reliability.

Although the present invention is disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
