Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are illustrative of the invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
The catheter sealing device is characterized by comprising a sealing plug 100, wherein the sealing plug 100 comprises an elastomer 120 formed by foaming polyurethane and an ePTFE (ePTFE) coating film 110 wrapped on the surface of the elastomer 120, the elastomer 120 permeates into micropores of the coating film to strengthen the connection strength of the elastomer and the coating film, a mandrel 130 for supporting is arranged inside the elastomer 120, and the elastomer 120 can be compressed to at least one third of the original volume. The elasticity of the plug 100 is mainly provided by the foaming polyurethane, so that the shape of the plug 100 can be changed arbitrarily when the plug enters the hemodialysis catheter, thereby adapting to the channel of the hemodialysis catheter and improving the sealing performance. The elastomer 120 generally has a larger friction coefficient, when the elastomer 120 enters the hemodialysis catheter, the elastomer 120 generates strong pressure on the inner wall of the tube due to compression, and the friction force of the elastomer 120 on the inner wall of the tube is large, so that the catheter sealing device is difficult to push and even damages a product, and the friction force between the sealing plug 100 and the inner wall of the tube needs to be reduced. The expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is prepared from polytetrafluoroethylene resin through special processing methods such as stretching and the like, and has a network structure formed by connecting microfibers, wherein the microfibers form countless pores, when the plugging plug 100 is prepared, the ePTFE film 110 is used for wrapping a liquid polyurethane foaming agent, after the foaming polyurethane is molded, part of polyurethane can permeate into the pores of the ePTFE film 110, so that the connection strength between the ePTFE film 110 and the foaming polyurethane is enhanced, and the ePTFE film 110 and the foaming polyurethane bracket are not easy to separate in the pushing process of the plugging plug 100.
In another embodiment, the elastomer 120 is made of hydrogel or silica gel. When the elastomer 120 is a hydrogel, the hydrogel is encapsulated in the ePTFE membrane 110, and has a small volume prior to encountering the liquid, and may pass through the hemodialysis catheter smoothly, and when the stopper 100 is placed in the desired position, the hydrogel expands due to the action of blood, thereby blocking the orifice of the catheter. When the elastomer 120 is silicone, the silicone is wrapped in the ePTFE membrane 110, and because of the elasticity of the silicone, the plug 100 can adapt to the lumen of the dialysis catheter when it enters the hemodialysis catheter, thereby plugging the catheter orifice.
The elastic body 120 is also provided with a core shaft 130 for supporting. Because the elastomer 120 is not sufficiently stiff to provide sufficient force in the axial direction, a mandrel 130 is required to be positioned within the elastomer 120 to push the elastomer 120. The mandrel 130 is provided with a plurality of small holes, so that the elastic body 120 can permeate into the small holes, thereby improving the connection strength between the mandrel 130 and the elastic body 120.
The distal end of the stopper 100 has a tapered structure for guiding the stopper 100, preventing the stopper 100 from being damaged when it is inserted into a hemodialysis catheter, and facilitating the insertion of the stopper 100. The proximal end of the blocking plug 100 is provided with an arc chamfer, which is convenient for withdrawing the blocking plug 100 from the dialysis catheter. The side of the plugging plug is of a wavy structure, and the contact area between the side of the plugging plug and the inner wall of the hemodialysis catheter can be reduced by the wavy structure, so that the friction force between the side of the plugging plug and the inner wall of the hemodialysis catheter is reduced, and the pushing is smoother. The length of the plugging plug 100 is 1-3cm.
The stopper 100 is coated with a heparin coating having an anticoagulant function on the surface of the ePTFE membrane 110 because the distal end is exposed to blood and there is a risk of thrombus formation when the stopper is closed.
One end of a catheter 200 is connected to the stopper 100, and a flushing hole 210 is provided in the catheter 200 for flushing the hemodialysis catheter. The flushing port 210 is disposed near one end of the plug 100, and the flushing port 210 is square, circular, or a combination thereof. The catheter 200 and the plugging plug 100 are connected together through the mandrel 130, one end of the mandrel 130 is inserted into the elastomer 120, the other end is inserted into the catheter 200, the length of the mandrel 130 inserted into the catheter 200 does not block the flushing hole 210, and the mandrel 130 and the catheter 200 are bonded together through glue.
The other end of the guide pipe 200 is connected with a joint 300 through glue, flushing liquid and a mandrel 130 enter the guide pipe 200 through the joint, and a rotary valve 310 is further arranged on the joint 300 and used for opening and closing the joint. The conveying shaft 400 is inserted into the catheter 200, and the catheter 200 is softer and has insufficient strength, so that the catheter is easy to fold when conveyed into the dialysis catheter, and the folding resistance of the catheter can be improved after the catheter is inserted into the conveying shaft 400, so that the conveying of products in the dialysis catheter is smoother, and the conveying shaft is withdrawn after the products are conveyed in place.
The catheter 200 is also slidably fitted with a hemostatic valve 500, the hemostatic valve 500 being adapted to prevent backflow of blood from the dialysis catheter when the plug 100 is inserted. The hemostatic valve 500 is provided with a side branch 510 for passing a liquid.
The application steps of the invention are as follows:
in using the present invention, the plug 100 is first inserted into the connector of the hemodialysis catheter 600, then the connector of the hemostatic valve and the dialysis catheter is screwed down, then the hemostatic buckle of the dialysis catheter is opened, and then the plug 100 is inserted continuously until the desired position is reached. Flushing fluid, such as heparin, is then introduced from the connector of the present invention, and then flows out of the flushing port 210, flushing all of the blood in the dialysis catheter, and the flushed blood flows out of the side branch of the hemostatic valve.
