Description
Technical field
The utility model belongs to the field of medical instrument technology, is specifically related to a kind of ureter sheath and its head end cap.
Background technique
Renal plevis, lower even bladder are connect on ureter, are a pair of elongated pipelines, are in oblate column, caliber average out to 0.5-0.7
Centimetre.Adult 25-35 centimetres of ureter overall length, after being located at peritonaeum, the front vertical on the inside of greater psoas muscle lowers into pelvis.It is defeated
There are three narrow parts for urinary catheter: one migrates place (ureter section start) in renal plevis and ureter, and one is being crossed minor pelvis entrance
Place, the last one is in the inside for entering the bladder wall.It is that calculus, clot and necrotic tissue are easy the position stopped that these are narrow.It is defeated
When urinary catheter soft lens guide sheath is clinically mainly used for ureterostenosis, adhesion, obstruction, obstruction, calculus, related surgical need to be carried out
It carries out treatment to establish used in operation path, endoscope, laser fiber, calculus removing instrument or operation cable etc. is imported by channel.
The Chinese patent of Publication No. CN206403732U discloses a kind of Medical endoscope and attracts sheath, including Medical endoscope and
Attract sheath, described to attract the sheath sheath that includes negative pressure connector and be connected with negative pressure connector, the sheath includes long-armed pipe and short
Arm pipe, the long-armed pipe is connected by welding with galianconism pipe to be connect;The Medical endoscope passes through very thin elastic force apparatus and attraction sheath phase
Connection;The long-armed pipe and galianconism length of tube difference are 5-30mm, and the long-armed pipe has flexible head end.The Medical endoscope is inhaled
Although drawing the technical effect that sheath has the blood, liquid and pathological tissues that attract in surgical field of view, when encountering calculus rubble
Afterwards, under the action of negative pressure, it is easy the biggish calculus rubble of sucking, leads to line clogging, and then vacuum suction is caused to be failed.
The Chinese patent of Publication No. CN205073357U discloses a kind of vacuum suction sheath guard system, the vacuum suction sheath
Guard system, including vacuum suction sheath and the vacuum suction machine connecting with vacuum suction sheath, the vacuum suction sheath includes
Sheath tube end, with the scope input terminal of scope cooperation, the negative pressure connecting pin that is connect with vacuum suction machine.Similarly, when negative using this
When pressure attracts sheath cleaned system calculi in vivo rubble, biggish calculus rubble is easy blocking vacuum suction sheath, leads to negative pressure
Attract effect failure.
The Chinese patent of Publication No. CN 201782744U discloses to be peeped in a kind of soft or hard matter combined type bendable steering
Mirror, working portion include the steering tiller of conduit and control guiding-tube bend, and conduit portion includes hard tube and hose, hard tube set
Outside hose, steering tiller controls hose bending.In clinical use, conduit portion enters human body urinary tract, later by hand
Handle operates hose bending, completes to check or treat.The soft or hard matter combined type bendable steering endoscope of the utility model, although behaviour
Make simply, it is easy to use, and can have a better effect, but there are still following deficiencies:
The hard tube of its conduit portion is usually made of stainless steel, and when entering human body, the hard tube of metal material will increase trouble
The sense of discomfort of person, or even cause patient muscle's spasm, to hold conduit tightly, it is allowed to that urinary catheter cannot be can smoothly enter into.Meanwhile using hard
Form of the pipe sleeve outside hose, increases the diameter of conduit entirety, so that conduit is in insertion children's urethra or ureterostenosis
Patient when, the resistance being subject to is big, it is easier to cause the spasm of patient muscle, or cause centainly to injure to the urethra of patient.
When in use, the part of flexible pipe extending hard tube is bent under the operation of handle, since conduit is in insertion urinary catheter
When operator can't see internal situation, in the case where misoperation, if the length of flexible pipe extending hard tube it is shorter and in hand
When forcing bending under the control of handle, it is easy to which the optical fiber to fracture in hose because bending radius is too small causes endoscope to damage.
Meanwhile the inner working channel of existing hose is usually three, respectively instrument channel, steel wire channel and image are logical
Road, image channel the inside are additionally provided with lighting fiber, are easy to damaged image optical fiber when long-time uses, reduce optical image fibers
Service life.In addition, the plane where plane and hose where the axial line in steel wire channel has a clamp in hose bending
Angle, to keep the bending operation of hose not flexible, accurate.
Similarly, a kind of end with telescopic epitheca disclosed in the Chinese patent of 203408026 U of Publication No. CN
Bending type ureteroscope, although to a kind of improvement project of aforementioned patent CN 201782744U, due to its conduit
Similarly by the way of the combination of soft or hard sheath, therefore inevitably there is also above-mentioned deficiencies.
