Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a first embodiment of the present invention provides a guide head structure 100, where the guide head structure 100 is used in a catheter, a sheath or a conveyor that is used for establishing a path, conveying medical devices, etc. in interventional therapy, and provides guiding and anti-displacement properties for the catheter, the sheath, the conveyor, etc. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the guide head structure 100 is exemplified by a transporter for transporting a vascular stent, and will be described in detail.
The guide head structure 100 includes a guide section 11 and a main body section 12, wherein the proximal end of the guide section 11 is in smooth transition connection with the distal end of the main body section 12. The body section 12 is cut along the axial direction to form a plurality of first through grooves 121 and a plurality of deformed bodies 122 which are arranged at intervals by the first through grooves 121, the plurality of first through grooves 121 and the deformed bodies 122 are alternately and uniformly arranged in the circumferential direction of the body section 12, and the first through grooves 121 penetrate through the inner surface and the outer surface of the body section 12. When the guide head structure 100 is pressed in the axial direction, the deformation bodies 122 can deform through the first through grooves 121.
Specifically, referring to fig. 3, the guide section 11 and the main body section 12 are hollow structures, the guide section 11 and the main body section 12 have a guide wire cavity 111 that is in communication, the guide wire cavity 111 is for a guide wire to pass through, and the guide head structure 100 can move to a lesion position along a path established by the guide wire. The guiding section 11 has a truncated cone-shaped structure, and the outer diameter of the guiding section 11 gradually decreases from the proximal end to the distal end of the guiding section 11, so that the guiding section 11 can play a guiding role. The proximal end of the guide section 11 is in smooth transition connection with the distal end of the main body section 12, so as to ensure that the outer surface of the guide head structure 100 is smooth and flat, and avoid the guide head structure 100 from scratching the vessel wall. In an embodiment of the present invention, the body section 12 is cut from the proximal end to the distal end, and the cutting direction is an axial direction, so that a plurality of first through grooves 121 penetrating the inner and outer surfaces of the body section 12 are cut. After the proximal end portion of the main body section 12 is cut and removed, the deformed main body 122 alternately arranged with the plurality of first through grooves 121 is formed, that is, the plurality of first through grooves 121 and the deformed main body 122 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the main body section 12 in such a manner that one deformed main body 122 is arranged adjacent to one first through groove 121 in the clockwise direction, another first through groove 121 is arranged adjacent to the deformed main body 122 in the clockwise direction, and another deformed main body 122 is arranged adjacent to the other first through groove 121 in the clockwise direction, and so on. At the same time, the first through grooves 121 and the deformation bodies 122 are uniformly arranged in the circumferential direction of the body section 12. When the guiding head structure is pushed in the blood vessel to meet the blood vessel with larger bending amplitude, the distal end of the guiding head structure is propped against the blood vessel wall on the large bending side of the blood vessel due to the fact that the bending amplitude of the blood vessel is too large, and the guiding head structure has certain supporting property and hardness, so that the guiding head structure can scratch the blood vessel. In the present invention, by providing the guide head structure 100, when the guide head structure 100 is abutted against the vessel wall on the side of the large curve of the vessel, the guide head structure 100 is axially compressed because the guide head structure 100 receives the abutment force of the vessel wall and the pushing force pushing the guide head structure 100, and the abutment force and the pushing force are forces in opposite directions. At this time, since the guide head structure 100 is provided with the first through groove 121, the support performance of the deformation body 122 is weak, and thus the deformation body 122 is deformed in the outer direction of the guide head structure 100, as shown in fig. 2. Therefore, the force of the guiding head structure 100 against the vessel wall will be converted into the elastic potential energy of the deformation body 122, so as to remove the force of the guiding head structure 100 against the vessel wall, thereby avoiding the guiding head structure 100 from scratching the vessel wall and improving the safety of the product. Meanwhile, since the above arrangement does not require the guide head structure 100 to be reduced in length, and the anti-displacement performance and the like of the guide head structure 100 are not affected, the guide head structure 100 not only can avoid scratching the vessel wall during the conveying process, but also can give consideration to the anti-displacement performance of the guide head structure 100, thereby greatly improving the product performance and the use safety.
The length of the first through groove 121 may be adaptively set according to the actual use situation, for example, the length of the first through groove 121 may be adaptively reduced when there is no substantial bending in the blood vessel through which the guide head structure 100 passes, and the length of the first through groove 121 may be adaptively increased when there is substantial bending in the blood vessel through which the guide head structure 100 passes. The first through groove 121 may be provided at a position adaptively according to a direction in which the blood vessel is bent, and if the blood vessel through which the guide head structure 100 passes is bent only to one side, the first through groove 121 may be provided only to one side of the main body section 12.
With continued reference to fig. 1, the deformation body 122 is provided with a bending portion 1221 that bends toward the outer side or the inner side of the deformation body 122. Specifically, when the deformation body 122 is provided with the bending portion 1221 bending toward the outer side of the deformation body 122, the guiding head structure 100 abuts against the vessel wall to enable the deformation body 122 to receive the axial compression force, the bending portion 1221 bending toward the outer side can ensure that the deformation body 122 bends and deforms toward the outer side of the deformation body 122, so as to ensure that the deformation body 122 can generate deformation with larger deformation amount, and avoid the deformation body 122 bending and deforming toward the inner side, which results in insufficient deformation amount generated by the deformation body 122 and incapability of smoothly passing through the vessel. When the guide head structure 100 is small in the bending width of the blood vessel, a bending portion 1221 that bends inward of the deformation body 122 may be provided in the deformation body 122. When the guiding head structure 100 abuts against the vessel wall, the deformation body 122 deforms inwards to a certain extent, so that the guiding head structure 100 can adaptively bend along the bending direction of the vessel, and the guiding head structure 100 can smoothly pass through the bent vessel.
Further, referring to fig. 4 to 6, in the first embodiment of the present invention, in order to further reduce the risk of the guide head structure 100 scratching the vessel wall, the inner wall of the guide section 11 is provided with a wavy concave-convex structure to form a shortened structure 112, and the shortened structure 112 extends from the proximal end to the distal end of the guide section 11. The thickness of the wall thickness of the guide section 11 is varied by providing the inner wall of the guide section 11 with a shortened structure 112. When the distal end of the guiding section 11 abuts against the vessel wall, the short shrinkage structure 112 deforms after being stressed, the position of the guiding section 11 with the thicker wall bulges outwards, the position of the guiding section 11 with the thinner wall bulges inwards, and the guiding section 11 is entirely shrunk to form a fold, as shown in fig. 6, so that the force of the distal end of the guiding section 11 abutting against the vessel wall is dispersed by the process of the guiding section 11 being entirely shrunk, thereby avoiding the guiding section 11 from scratching the vessel wall.
In other embodiments of the present invention, the distal end of the guiding section 11 may be directly configured into a pleated shape as shown in fig. 6, specifically, the tube wall of the guiding section 11 is configured to be folded in a wave shape to form a shortened structure 112, and the shortened structure 112 itself is configured into a pleated structure, and the shortened structure 112 is disposed at the distal end of the guiding section 11. When the distal end of the guiding section 11 abuts against the vessel wall, the short shrinkage structure 112 deforms after being stressed, that is, the whole short shrinkage structure 112 compresses in the axial direction, so that the force of the distal end of the guiding section 11 abutting against the vessel wall is dispersed on the short shrinkage structure 112, and the guiding section 11 is prevented from scratching the vessel wall.
Referring to fig. 7, a second embodiment of the present invention provides a delivery system 200 for delivering a medical device to a lesion area in an interventional procedure, the delivery system 200 includes a sheath 21, a sheath core 22, and a guide head structure 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the guide head structure 100 further includes a covering section 13, and the covering section 13 is connected to a proximal end of the main body section 12. The distal end of the sheath core 22 is connected with the cladding section 13, the sheath tube 21 is sleeved on the sheath core 22, the sheath tube 21 can move relative to the sheath core 22 and the guiding head structure 100, and the distal end of the sheath tube 21 can move towards the guiding head structure 100 and cladding the cladding section 13.
When the distal end of the sheath 21 covers the covering section 13, the proximal end of the covering section 13, the outer surface of the sheath core 22, and the inner surface of the sheath 21 together form a loading section of the stent, and the stent is compressively loaded in the loading section. When it is desired to release the stent, the sheath 21 can be retracted to expose the stent to the sheath 21, thereby allowing deployment and release. The delivery system further comprises a handle by which the movement of the sheath 21 is controlled.
Referring to fig. 8 to 10, a third embodiment of the present invention provides a guide head structure 300 and a conveying system, and the conveying system of the third embodiment of the present invention can directly employ the conveying system 200 of the second embodiment. The guide head structure 300 is mainly different from the guide head structure 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention in that a second through groove 321 is provided in a manner that the distal end of the guide section 31 extends proximally, and the second through groove 321 is disposed on the inner and outer surfaces of the guide section 31. The guide section 31 is provided with a tearing groove 312 between two adjacent second through grooves 321, that is, one tearing groove 312 is provided between every two adjacent second through grooves 321, and the tearing groove 312 penetrates through the inner and outer surfaces of the guide section 31. Further, the delivery system 200 further comprises a pulling structure 23, the pulling structure 23 is movable relative to the guiding head structure 300, and the pulling structure 23 comprises a pulling body 231 and a clamping structure 232. The detent structure 232 is disposed at the distal end of the pulling structure 23, the pulling body 231 passes through the distal end of the second through slot 321, and then the pulling body 231 moves proximally a small distance, so that the pulling body 231 abuts against the inner wall of the second through slot 321, the detent structure 232 is disposed inside the guiding section 31, and the size of the detent structure 232 is larger than that of the second through slot 321.
It should be noted that, in the third embodiment of the present invention, the locking structure 232 is a spherical structure, the diameter of the locking structure 232 is larger than the width of the first through slot 321, so that the locking structure 232 can be locked inside the guiding section 31, that is, the locking structure 232 cannot pass through the second through slot 321 because the size of the locking structure 232 is larger than the size of the second through slot 321.
Further, the pulling structure 23 further comprises a cannula 233, and the proximal end of the pulling body 231 is connected to the cannula 233. The sleeve 233 is coaxially disposed with the sheath 21 and the sheath core 22, and the sleeve 233 is movable relative to the sheath 21, the guide head structure 100, and the sheath core 22, i.e., the sleeve 233 can be independently controlled. In the third embodiment of the present invention, the cannula 233 is sleeved on the sheath 21, and the cannula 233 is movable along the length direction of the sheath 21 outside the sheath 21. When the guide head structure 100 moves into the curved blood vessel, the cannula 233 can be moved proximally to pull the pulling body 231 to move proximally, and the pulling body 231 can be moved to drive the clamping structure 232 to move proximally. Since the dimension of the detent structure 232 is larger than the dimension of the second through groove 321, when the detent structure 232 moves proximally, the detent structure 232 abuts against the inner surface of the guide section 31, and the force exerted by the detent structure 232 on the inner surface of the guide section 31 causes the guide section 31 to have a tendency to flip outwardly. When the force of pulling the pulling body 231 proximally is large enough, the guiding section 31 is bent proximally along the tearing groove 312 from the distal end, so that the guiding section 31 is deformed into a petal shape, as shown in fig. 11, and the harder and sharper distal end of the guiding section 31 is deformed into a smoother structure, thereby avoiding the guiding section 31 from scratching the vessel wall. Meanwhile, since the guide section 31 is deformed into a petal shape, the guide section 31 has good deformability, and when the guide section 31 contacts the vessel wall, the guide section 31 can be deformed so as to reduce the damage to the vessel wall. Meanwhile, the guide head structure 300 of the third embodiment of the present invention is particularly suitable for a stent for delivering an aortic arch. As shown in fig. 13, when the stent of the aortic arch is delivered, the existing guide head structure may be poked to the aortic valve due to the close proximity of the aortic arch and the aortic valve, thereby causing damage to the aortic valve. In contrast, after the guide head structure 300 of the third embodiment of the present invention deforms the guide segments 31 into petal shapes, the axial length of the guide head structure 300 can be reduced, so as to avoid the guide head structure 300 from being poked into the aortic valve, as shown in fig. 14.
It should be noted that, the distal ends of the guide sections 31 between two adjacent tearing grooves 312 are turned proximally and outwardly along the length directions of the two tearing grooves 312, and the plurality of tearing grooves 312 are uniformly disposed in the circumferential direction of the guide sections 31, so that the distal ends of the guide sections 31 are uniformly turned around to deform, and meanwhile, the force acting on the distal ends of the guide sections 31 is ensured to be uniform, so that the force acting on one side of the distal ends of the guide sections 31 is prevented from being excessively large, and the whole guide sections 31 are bent. When the distal end of the guiding section 31 turns over and deforms more than 90 degrees, the pulling structure 23 continues to move proximally, the pulling body 231 can move along the second through slot 321 towards the distal end of the second through slot 321, and finally the pulling body 231 slides off from the distal end of the second through slot 321, so that the pulling body 231 and the clamping structure 232 are separated from the guiding section 31, as shown in fig. 12. At this point, the pulling structure 23 is continued to be retracted to move the pulling structure 23 away from the region where the stent is released, thereby avoiding the pulling structure 23 from affecting the release of the stent. The pulling structure 23 may be withdrawn from the human body together with the sheath 21, or the pulling structure 23 may be withdrawn from the human body alone.
It should be noted that, in the third embodiment of the present invention, the second through groove 321 is disposed at the distal end of the guiding section 31, and the second through groove 321 does not extend into the proximal end of the guiding section 31 or the main body section 32, so as to ensure that the locking structure 232 is locked at the distal end of the guiding section 31, so as to ensure that the pulling structure 23 can easily pull the distal end of the guiding section 31, and the guiding section 31 can easily turn over proximally and outwards along the length directions of the two tearing grooves 312. The tearing groove 312 has a smaller width, thereby securing the support and strength of the distal end of the guide section 31. The length of the tearing groove 312 may be adaptively set according to the actual situation, for example, the length of the tearing groove 312 may be adaptively reduced when there is no substantial bending in the blood vessel through which the guide head structure 300 passes, and the length of the tearing groove 312 may be adaptively increased when there is substantial bending in the blood vessel through which the guide head structure 300 passes. Meanwhile, in order to avoid that the pulling body 231 slides out of the second through slot 321 too easily, the distal end of the guiding section 31 cannot be deformed. The damping structure is disposed in the second through slot 231 from the slot wall, the damping structure may be silica gel, the damping structure may also be an elastic member with good elasticity, and when the pulling main body 231 slides in the second through slot 231, the damping structure will increase the resistance of the pulling structure relative to the sliding of the second through slot 231, so as to avoid that the pulling main body 231 slides out from the second through slot 321 too easily.
Referring to fig. 15, in other embodiments of the present invention, the cannula 233 may be sleeved on the sheath core 22 and received in the sheath 21, where the cannula 233 moves in the lumen of the sheath 21, so as to ensure that the cannula 233 does not scratch the vessel wall during movement. The proximal end of the cannula 233 may be connected to a handle, and the movement of the cannula 233 may be controlled by operating the handle.
In other embodiments of the present invention, the cannula 233 may be omitted, a receiving cavity extending through the proximal end to the distal end of the sheath 21 may be provided in the sheath 21, and the proximal end of the pulling body 231 may be inserted into and out of the distal end of the receiving cavity. By pulling the proximal end of the pulling body 231, the pulling structure 23 moves proximally in the accommodating cavity relative to the sheath 21, the pulling structure 23 moves to drive the clamping structure 232 to move proximally, and the clamping structure 232 can abut against the inner surface of the guiding section 31 when moving proximally, so that the guiding section 31 deforms proximally along the tearing groove 312 from the distal end. The sheath 21 is provided with a receiving cavity for receiving the pulling structure 23, so as to ensure that the overall size of the distal end of the delivery system 200 is smaller, so that the delivery system 200 is easier to enter the human body and can adapt to more complex vascular paths. At the same time, the pulling structure 23 is prevented from contacting the vessel wall during the movement, and the risk of scratching the vessel wall by the pulling structure 23 is avoided.
In other embodiments of the present invention, the sleeve 233 may be omitted, and a delivery tube may be disposed on the inner wall or the outer wall of the sheath 21, and disposed along the length of the sheath 21. The proximal end of the pull body 231 is fed in from the distal end of the delivery tube and passes out from the proximal end of the delivery tube. By pulling the proximal end of the pulling body 231, the pulling structure 23 moves proximally in the delivery tube body relative to the sheath 21, the pulling structure 23 moves to drive the clamping structure 232 to move proximally, and the clamping structure 232 can abut against the inner surface of the guiding section 31 when moving proximally, so that the guiding section 31 deforms proximally along the tearing groove 312 from the distal end. The conveying pipe body can be fixed with the sheath pipe 21 in a hot melting mode, and the conveying pipe body for the pulling structure 23 to pass through is directly arranged on the sheath pipe 21, so that the whole manufacturing difficulty and the manufacturing cost of the conveying system can be reduced.
Compared with the prior art, the guide head structure and the conveying system have the advantages that the support performance of the deformation main body is weaker due to the second through groove, so that the deformation main body deforms towards the outer side direction of the guide head structure when the guide head structure contacts the blood vessel wall. Therefore, the force of the guide head structure against the vessel wall is converted into the elastic potential energy of deformation generated by the deformation main body, so that the force of the guide head structure against the vessel wall is removed, the guide head structure is prevented from scratching the vessel wall, and the use safety of the product is improved. Meanwhile, the guide head structure does not need to be reduced in length, and the anti-displacement performance and the like of the guide head structure are not affected, so that the guide head structure can not only avoid scratching the vessel wall in the conveying process, but also give consideration to the anti-displacement performance of the guide head structure, and further greatly improve the product performance and the use safety.
The above description is only of the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention, but any modifications, equivalents, improvements, etc. within the principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
