Referring to fig. 2 and 3 together, fig. 2 is a schematic view of a portion of a bendable puncture needle 100, and fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the bendable puncture needle 100. The adjustable bending puncture needle 100 is a one-way adjustable bending puncture needle, a two-way adjustable bending puncture needle or a multi-way adjustable bending puncture needle. In this embodiment, the adjustable bend spike 100 is a unidirectional adjustable bend spike.
Adjustable bent introducer needle 100 includes a puncture head 10 and an adjustable bent cannula assembly 20 that is received within puncture head 10. The puncture head 10 is used to puncture a tissue body. The distal end of the adjustable bending sleeve assembly 20 is provided with an adjustable bending section 201. The distal end of the puncture head 10 is exposed outside the adjustable bending section 201. The proximal end of penetration head 10 is secured to the distal end of adjustable bend section 201. The adjustable bending sleeve assembly 20 includes a plurality of layers of tubes with adjustable bending function. The bending-adjustable puncture needle 100 further comprises a traction element 30 arranged among the plurality of layers of tube bodies with bending-adjustable functions, and the distal end of the traction element 30 is fixed on the puncture head 10 or the bending-adjustable section 201.
Therefore, the adjustable bent puncture needle provided by the invention has the advantages that the traction component is arranged in the adjustable bent sleeve component, and the distal end of the traction component is fixed on the puncture head or the adjustable bent section of the adjustable bent sleeve component, so that the adjustable bent puncture needle can drive the puncture head and the adjustable bent sleeve component to freely adjust the direction through the traction component after entering the body of a patient, the puncture head can be more accurately aligned to a target tissue to be punctured (including but not limited to an interatrial space), the adjustable bent puncture needle is prevented from damaging a path of an internal puncture operation, and the interatrial space puncture is more accurate and faster.
By providing the piercing head 10 at the distal end of the adjustable bent cannula assembly 20, the problem of damage to other tissues during the piercing process is avoided and the outer diameter of the piercing needle is reduced. In addition, the traction component 30 is fixed on the puncture head 10 or the adjustable bending section 201 of the adjustable bending sleeve assembly 20, so that the operation is simple and convenient, the fixing efficiency is high, and the structure of the adjustable bending puncture needle 100 is simplified, so that the outer diameter of the adjustable bending puncture needle 100 is smaller. Because the whole external diameter of the adjustable bent puncture needle 100 is smaller, the interatrial puncture is more accurate and faster, the puncture time is saved, and the safety of the puncture operation is improved. Because the traction piece 30 can control the adjustable bending section 201 to bend or restore to be straight, the adjustable bending puncture needle 100 can be freely bent after entering the body of a patient, so that the puncture head 10 can be conveniently delivered to target tissues, and the damage of the adjustable bending puncture needle 100 to the passage of the in-vivo puncture operation can be avoided.
In some embodiments, the pulling element 30 is fixed to the outer axial surface 1011 of the proximal end of the penetration head 10. Thus, the traction piece 30 is directly fixed on the outer axial surface 1011 of the proximal end of the puncture head 10, so that welding sites of the traction piece 30 and the puncture head 10 are increased, the operation is simple and convenient, the fixing efficiency is high, and the structure of the bendable puncture needle is simplified, so that the outer diameter of the bendable puncture needle is smaller. In this embodiment, the interior of the adjustable bending section 201 is recessed to form an operation space 202 corresponding to the connection between the puncture head 10 and the pulling member 30, so as to prevent the adjustable bending section 201 from forming a convex hull at the connection between the puncture head 10 and the pulling member 30, which affects the transportation performance and the connection stability. In addition, the design attenuate of operating space 202 the thickness of adjustable curved section 201 to enable to realize fast that adjustable curved section 201 is crooked or resume straight, and make the interatrial puncture more accurate, quick, practiced thrift the puncture time, and then improved the security of puncture operation.
In another embodiment, referring to fig. 1, 3 and 4-7 together, fig. 4-7 show cross-sectional views of the puncture head 10 and the first to fourth embodiments of the adjustable elbow sleeve assembly 20. The pulling member 30 is embedded in the piercing head 10. Specifically, the outer axial surface 1011 of the proximal end of the penetration head 10 is provided with a groove 1012. The pulling member 30 is fixedly inserted into the recess 1012. Thus, the outer diameter of the bendable puncture needle 100 can be further reduced, so that atrial septal puncture is more accurate and faster, puncture time is saved, and the safety of puncture operation is improved. In other embodiments, the pulling element may be secured to the adjustable bend section by a connecting element, such as a steel ring.
The traction piece 30 is fixedly connected with the puncture head 10 by welding. The pulling member 30 is used for pulling the adjustable bending section 201 to bend or restore to be straight, and has certain strength. In this embodiment, the pulling member 30 is a single structure, but may be a multi-strand structure. The cross-sectional shape of the pulling member 30 may be various shapes such as a circle, and is not particularly limited. The radial cross section of the pulling element 30 should be as small as possible, while having a certain strength to perform the pulling function. The pulling member 30 is a wire, i.e. the pulling member 30 is made of a metallic material. The metal material is, for example, but not limited to, stainless steel, tungsten alloy, cobalt-chromium alloy, or nickel-titanium alloy, and may be made of a polymer having a certain strength, and the material thereof is not specifically limited. In this embodiment, the pulling member 30 is preferably a stainless steel wire.
The multi-layer tube body with adjustable bending function of the adjustable bending sleeve assembly 20 comprises an inner tube 21, an outer sheath tube 23 and a woven mesh tube 22 arranged between the inner tube 21 and the outer sheath tube 23, and a traction member 30 is arranged between the inner tube 21 and the woven mesh tube 22. The outer sleeve 23, the braided mesh tube 22 and the inner tube 21 are connected by fusion. Between the woven mesh tube 22 and the inner tube 21 there is a passage for the pulling element 30 to pass through. Due to the fact that the pulling member 30 is arranged in the channel between the inner tube 21 and the woven mesh tube 22, the pulling member 30 can be pulled along the axial direction of the adjustable bending sleeve assembly 20, so that the pulling force at the proximal end of the pulling member 30 can be transmitted to the distal end of the pulling member 30 more intensively and more accurately, and the puncture is ensured to be more accurate and rapid. In addition, the inner tube 21 is closer to the puncture head 10, so that the distance between the traction piece 30 and the puncture head 10 is shortened, and the traction piece 30 is prevented from being bent in a transition way to influence the connection stability and reliability of the puncture head 10.
It should be noted that the multi-layer pipe with adjustable bending function of the adjustable bending pipe assembly 20 of the present disclosure is not limited to the three pipes, and the adjustable bending pipe assembly 20 may protect more or less pipes, and the present disclosure is not limited specifically.
Wherein, the hardness of the inner tube 21 is less than or equal to the hardness of the outer sheath 23, so that the outer sheath 23 can support and protect the inner tube 21. In the present embodiment, the material of the adjustable bending section of the outer sheath 23 includes, but is not limited to, Polyamide (PA) material with hardness less than or equal to 35 shore (D), the adjustable bending section of the woven mesh tube 22 is woven from stainless steel wire, and the material of the adjustable bending section of the inner tube 21 includes, but is not limited to, PTFE material. Adjustable elbow sleeve assembly 20 further includes a support section 203 attached to the proximal end of adjustable elbow section 201. The material of the support section 203 of the sheath includes, but is not limited to, at least one of a PA material or a polyether block Polyamide (PEBAX) material greater than or equal to 72D, or other suitable polymeric material.
Alternatively, the outer axial surface of the inner tube 21 is configured as a rough surface, and the inner axial surface of the inner tube 21 is configured as a smooth surface, thereby improving the connection stability of the woven mesh tube 22 with the inner tube 21 and ensuring that other elements can be smoothly inserted into the inner tube 21. In the present embodiment, the outer axial face of the inner tube 21 may be formed into a rough surface by an etching process.
Optionally, in order to ensure the transmission of the driving force of the proximal end of the bendable puncture needle 100, and at the same time ensure that it has a flexible function and a bending function to avoid damaging the blood vessel, the length of the bendable section 201 is 4cm to 5cm, which can be adjusted according to the specific operation.
As shown in fig. 2 and 4-7. In this embodiment, a fluid passage 101 is formed between the piercing head 10 and the adjustable bent sleeve assembly 20. The fluid channel 101 comprises at least one water outlet 103. In one embodiment, the pulling member 30 is isolated from the at least one water outlet 103. In other embodiments, a portion of the pulling member 30 is exposed to the at least one water outlet 103.
In this embodiment, the at least one water outlet 103 is located near the distal end of the puncture tip 10. The fluid supply line 400 communicates with the fluid passage 101. The fluid channel 101 is used to transport a fluid. The fluid channel 101 may be used to deliver contrast media, and since the water outlet 103 is close to the distal end of the puncture head 10, the position of the puncture head 10 may be quickly and accurately located, thereby improving the safety of the puncture procedure. In other embodiments, the fluid channel 101 may also be used to deliver fluids such as saline or medicaments.
Referring again to FIG. 4, in the first embodiment, two fluid channels 101 are formed between the puncture head 10 and the adjustable bent sleeve assembly 20. The distal ends of the fluid channels 101 form two water outlets 103 opposite to each other. Both fluid channels 101 are arranged side by side with the piercing head 10. The puncture head 10 is constructed in a flat structure. Each fluid passage 101 is generally semi-cylindrical. The traction piece 30 is embedded on the puncture head 10 and is separated from the two water outlets 103. Specifically, the pulling member 30 is disposed at the connection position of the puncture head 10 and the adjustable bent cannula assembly 20, so as to reduce the outer diameter of the distal end of the adjustable bent puncture needle 100, thereby enabling atrial septal puncture to be more accurate and faster.
Referring again to FIG. 5, in the second embodiment, two fluid channels 101 are formed between the puncture head 10 and the adjustable bent sleeve assembly 20. The distal ends of the fluid channels 101 form two water outlets 103 opposite to each other. Both fluid channels 101 are arranged alongside the piercing head 10. The piercing head 10 is constructed in a double concave molding structure. In this way, the fluid channel 101 has a larger fluid accommodating space, and can deliver more contrast media, and the area of the water outlet 103 is increased, so that the positioning effect on the puncture head 10 can be further improved. The traction piece 30 is embedded on the puncture head 10 and is separated from the two water outlets 103. Specifically, the pulling member 30 is disposed at the connection position of the puncture head 10 and the adjustable bent cannula assembly 20, so as to reduce the outer diameter of the distal end of the adjustable bent puncture needle 100, thereby enabling atrial septal puncture to be more accurate and faster.
Referring to fig. 6 again, in the third embodiment, the distal end of the fluid channel 101 is correspondingly formed with four water outlets 103 opposite to each other. Four fluid channels 101 are formed between the puncture head 10 and the adjustable bent sleeve assembly 20 in pairs. Four fluid channels 101 are provided alongside the piercing head 10. The puncture head 10 is configured in a prismatic structure. The puncture head 10 includes four corners. The four corners are shaped to match the inner circumference of the casing 43 to increase the contact area between the puncture head 10 and the adjustable angle bend casing assembly 20, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the puncture head 10 and the adjustable angle bend casing assembly 20. Thus, based on the four water outlets 103 uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction of the puncture head 10, the visual experience in use is effectively improved, that is, the positions of the water outlets 103 can be observed from different angles, so that the position of the puncture head 10 can be quickly and accurately positioned. Furthermore, in case of a blockage of one of the water outlets 103, fluid may still flow out of the remaining water outlets 103, thereby reducing the risk of a puncture procedure and enabling a more uniform delivery of fluid to the surgical site of the patient. The traction member 30 is embedded in the puncture head 10 and exposed out of one of the water outlets 103. Specifically, the traction component 30 is disposed at a position of the puncture head 10 exposed out of the water outlet 103, so as to ensure the connection stability of the puncture head 10 and the adjustable bent cannula assembly 20, and simultaneously, the outer diameter of the distal end of the adjustable bent puncture needle 100 can be reduced, thereby enabling atrial septal puncture to be more accurate and rapid.
Referring again to FIG. 7, in the fourth embodiment, a fluid pathway 101 is formed between the puncture head 10 and the adjustable bent sleeve assembly 20. The distal end of the fluid passage 101 correspondingly forms a diametrically opposite one of the water outlets 103. The fluid channel 101 is arranged alongside the piercing head 10. The puncture head 10 is constructed in a semi-cylindrical structure. In this way, the fluid channel 101 can deliver more contrast media and the area of the water outlet 103 is increased to avoid blockage of the water outlet 103, which also greatly improves the positioning effect on the puncture head 10. The traction piece 30 is embedded on the puncture head 10 and is isolated from a water outlet 103. Specifically, the pulling member 30 is disposed at the connection position of the puncture head 10 and the adjustable bent cannula assembly 20, so as to reduce the outer diameter of the distal end of the adjustable bent puncture needle 100, thereby enabling atrial septal puncture to be more accurate and faster.
Referring again to fig. 2 and 3, the distal end of the piercing head 10 forms a closed flexible tip 11, and the flexible tip 11 is configured as a rounded transition structure. In this way, the puncture head 10 can be prevented from scratching the non-puncture site of the operator or the patient during the puncture operation. The puncture tip 10 has a cavity 12 in the axial direction, and the distal end of the cavity 12 is filled with a developing block 13. In some embodiments, the visualization block 13 is near the distal end of the puncture tip 10. In this way, the position of the puncture head 10 can be further positioned during the puncture operation, and the positioning effect on the puncture head 10 can be further improved. The material of the developing block 13 includes, but is not limited to, at least one of tantalum alloy, platinum-iridium alloy, platinum-tungsten alloy, and gold.
In this embodiment, the adjustable bend introducer needle 100 also includes an electrical guidewire 14 disposed within the adjustable bend cannula assembly 20. The distal end of the electrical guidewire 14 is electrically connected to the puncture head 10. The proximal end of the electrical guidewire 14 is externally connected to an energy generator via an energy source connector 300. Specifically, the proximal end of the cavity 12 is plugged with an electrical guidewire 14. The electrical wire 14 may be fixedly attached to the inner axial surface 1013 (i.e., the inner wall of the cavity 12) of the puncture tip 10 by welding, crimping, or the like. The cavity 12 extends parallel to the axial direction of the puncture tip 10 to ensure good contact performance between the electrical wire 14 and the puncture tip 10. Preferably, the outer diameter of the electrical guide wire 14 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cavity 12 of the puncture head 10, so that the outer circumferential wall of the electrical guide wire 14 is more conformable to the inner circumferential wall of the cavity 12 of the puncture head 10. The electrical guidewire 14 may include an insulated section that plugs into the puncture tip 10 and a non-insulated section that is within the adjustable elbow sleeve assembly 20.
The proximal end of adjustable elbow sleeve assembly 20 circumscribes control handle 200. The proximal end of the pulling member 30 is secured to the control handle 200. The control handle 200 is used to control the pulling element 30 to move towards the proximal end or the distal end of the control handle 200, so as to bend or straighten the adjustable bending section 201 in at least one direction, so as to facilitate the delivery of the puncture head 10 to the target tissue, and further avoid the damage of the adjustable bending puncture needle 100 to the pathway of the intracorporeal puncture operation, thereby the puncture operation is more accurate and rapid.
Referring to fig. 1 and 8-9, the control handle 200 includes a housing 50 and a bending adjustment assembly 60 disposed on the housing 50. The bending adjustment assembly 60 includes a main shaft 61, a knob 62 and a bending adjustment slider 63. The knob 62 rotates relative to at least one of the spindle 61 and the housing 50 along a central axis P1 of the knob 62. The bending adjustment sliding member 63 is movably disposed in the knob 62, the proximal end of the adjustable bending sleeve assembly 20 is inserted into the main shaft 61, and the pulling member 30 disposed in the adjustable bending sleeve assembly 20 extends from the proximal end of the adjustable bending sleeve assembly 20 and is fixed to the bending adjustment sliding member 63. The knob 62 is used to move the bending slider 63 toward the proximal end or the distal end of the control handle 200, so as to bend or straighten the adjustable bending section 201 in at least one direction.
In the present embodiment, the housing 50 includes a first housing 51 and a second housing 52 that are fitted and fixed to each other. The first housing 51 and the second housing 52 together enclose an accommodating space 501. The proximal end portion of the spindle 61 is accommodated in the accommodating space 501. The first housing 51 and the second housing 52 may be detachably coupled together by a mounting structure. The mounting structure includes, but is not limited to, a snap structure, a sliding guide structure, a magnetic attraction structure, an internal and external thread structure, a latch structure, and the like. In some embodiments, the first housing 51 and the second housing 52 may also be integrally formed.
Optionally, the main shaft 61, the knob 62 and the housing 50 together enclose a limiting space 502, and the bending adjustment sliding member 63 moves in the limiting space 502. Specifically, a first limit step 503 is formed at a connection position of the knob 62 and the spindle 61, a second limit step 504 is formed at a connection position of the knob 62 and the housing 50, and the first limit step 503 and the second limit step 504 are used for being stopped by the bending adjustment sliding member 63, so as to limit the movement of the bending adjustment sliding member 63 in the limit space 502. In this way, it is ensured that the knob 62 and the bending adjustment slider 63 are always in fit connection, so that the knob 62 drives the bending adjustment slider 63 to move and pulls the traction member 30 to move towards the proximal end or the distal end of the control handle 200. In addition, the design of the first limit step 503 and the second limit step 504 can also limit the axial movement range of the bending adjustment sliding part 63, so as to avoid the performance of the bending adjustment section 201 from being affected by excessive bending.
Spindle 61 includes a snap fitting 611 and a guide barrel 612 extending from a proximal end of snap fitting 611 along a central axis P1 of spindle 61. The adjustable bending sleeve assembly 20 is sequentially inserted into the clamping head 611 and the guide cylinder 612, the bending adjusting sliding member 63 is movably sleeved outside the guide cylinder 612, and the knob 62 is clamped between the clamping head 611 and the housing 50.
In the present embodiment, the knob 62 is configured as a cylindrical barrel. The outer peripheral surface of the knob 62 is provided with an anti-slip structure 6201, so that a user can conveniently rotate the knob 62, and the user use experience is improved. The knob 62 is rotatable relative to the spindle 61 and the housing 50 along a central axis P1 of the knob 62, i.e., both ends of the knob 62 are rotatably connected to the spindle 61 and the housing, respectively. Specifically, the two ends of the knob 62 are respectively provided with a first rotating connector 621 and a second rotating connector 622 which are opposite to each other. The distal end of the housing 50 is provided with a first connecting seat 53 rotatably connected to the first rotating connector 621, and the proximal end of the clamping joint 611 is provided with a second connecting seat 6111 rotatably connected to the second rotating connector 622.
Specifically, one of the first rotating link 621 and the first coupling seat 53 is configured as a groove, and the other of the first rotating link 621 and the first coupling seat 53 is configured as a protrusion rotatably coupled with the groove. One of the second rotary connector 622 and the second connector holder 6111 is configured as a groove, and the other of the second rotary connector 622 and the second connector holder 6111 is configured as a protrusion rotatably connected with the groove. In the present embodiment, the first rotating connector 621 is configured as a protrusion, and the first connector seat 53 is provided with a groove rotatably engaged with the protrusion. The second rotary connector 622 is configured as a groove, and the second connecting socket 6111 is provided with a protrusion which is rotatably matched with the groove. It should be noted that the knob 62 may be connected to the spindle 61 and the housing 50 in other ways, and the invention is not limited in particular.
The bend adjustment slider 63 includes a bend adjustment slider 631 that is rotatably engaged with the knob 62. The bending slider 631 is configured as a threaded sleeve with an external thread 6311, and the knob 62 is configured as a threaded cylinder with an internal thread 6202 and threaded with the external thread 6311 of the threaded sleeve. In some embodiments, the pulling member 30 passes through the adjustable bending sleeve assembly 20 and the guiding cylinder 612 to be fixed on the inner axial surface of the threaded sleeve.
In this embodiment, the guide cylinder 612 is provided with a guide groove 614 along the axial direction, and the bending adjustment sliding member 63 further includes a guide sliding block 632 disposed on the bending adjustment sliding block 631 and engaged with the guide groove 614. The guide block 632 is provided with a fixing hole 6321. The pulling member 30 is fixed in the fixing hole 6321, and the turning knob 62 is rotated to drive the bending slider 631 to move axially relative to the turning knob 62, and the guiding slider 632 moves along the guiding groove 614 to control the pulling member 30 to move towards the proximal end or the distal end of the control handle 200.
The traction element 30 comprises at least one drawing wire, the number of bending sliders 63 corresponding to the number of said at least one drawing wire. In this embodiment, the pulling member 30 comprises a pull wire. The adjustable bending puncture needle 100 can realize the bending of the adjustable bending section 201 towards a preset direction by pulling a single wire. The preset direction refers to a direction in which the adjustable bending section 201 bends towards a side close to the wire drawing. In some embodiments, the number of the wires may be multiple, and the bending of the bendable section 201 in multiple predetermined directions may be achieved by pulling the multiple wires.
The control handle 200 also includes a support tube 64 fixedly disposed within the main shaft 61. The distal end of the support tube 64 is fixedly attached within the proximal end of the adjustable bending sleeve assembly 20 and is used to sheath the proximal end of the electrical guidewire 14. The support tube 64 is used to support and protect the electrical wire 14, thereby ensuring good contact between the electrical wire 14 and the puncture head 10. In addition, the design of the support tube 64 enhances the strength of the proximal end of the adjustable elbow sleeve assembly 20, thereby avoiding the problem of bending or breaking of the adjustable elbow sleeve assembly 20 near the exit position of the pulling member 30, and further ensuring the smooth implementation of the elbow function of the adjustable elbow sleeve assembly 20.
The distal end of support tube 64 is inserted into the proximal end of adjustable elbow sleeve assembly 20. The proximal end of the adjustable elbow sleeve assembly 20 is provided with a sheath exit point 205 for the tractor 30 to exit the adjustable elbow sleeve assembly 20. The distance between the sheath exit point 205 and the proximal face of the adjustable bending sleeve assembly 20 is less than or equal to the axial connection length L1 between the support tube 64 and the adjustable bending sleeve assembly 20 to avoid bending or breaking of the attachment of the adjustable bending sleeve assembly 20 at the exit position of the pulling assembly 30.
The distal end of the main shaft 61 is provided with an opening 6101 for holding the adjustable elbow sleeve assembly 20. The proximal end of the main shaft 61 is provided with a receiving space 6102 along the axis for receiving the support tube 64 and communicating with the opening 6101. The adjustable elbow sleeve assembly 20 includes a connecting portion 204 passing through the main shaft 61 and exposed in the accommodating space 6102. The length of the connection between the support tube 64 and the adjustable elbow sleeve assembly 20 is less than or equal to the axial length L2 of the connection 204. Preferably, the connection length L1 between the support tube 64 and the adjustable bending sleeve assembly 20 is equal to the axial length L2 of the connection portion 204, so as to ensure sufficient radial and axial support of the proximal end of the adjustable bending sleeve assembly 20.
The interior of the guide cylinder 612 is also provided with a catch 616 for catching the support tube 64 to ensure the stability of the connection between the support tube 64 and the adjustable bending sleeve assembly 20. The support tube 64 is made of a rigid material, such as steel tubing. The control handle 200 also includes a retaining member 65 for retaining the proximal end of the electrical guidewire 14 and/or support tube 64. The first housing 51 and the second housing 52 form a catching groove 505 for catching the locking member 65 at a position corresponding to the locking member 65. In addition, the locking member 65 can be used for connecting the liquid supply pipeline 400 through the tail end, and for connecting the electric guide wire 14 with an external energy generator through the tail end connecting energy source connector 300. In this embodiment, referring to fig. 1 to 9 again, the bendable puncture needle 100, the control handle 200 and the energy generator are a complete system, and the operation method of the puncture system 1000 of this embodiment is as follows: after the delivery catheter is introduced into the body through percutaneous puncture, the adjustable bending puncture needle 100 is inserted into the body along the delivery catheter, the position of the puncture head 10 is determined by observing the visualization point, and after the puncture head 10 approaches a target position (for example, interatrial septum tissue), the adjustable bending puncture needle 100 is bent by the control handle 200 until the puncture head 10 is aligned with the target puncture position. Specifically, when the adjustable bending section 201 is in a flat state, when the left-handed knob 62 is rotated, the bending slider 63 moves towards the proximal end of the control handle 200, and because both ends of the traction member 30 are respectively and fixedly connected to the puncture head 10 and the bending slider 63, when the bending slider 63 drives the traction member 30 to gradually move towards the proximal end of the control handle 200, the pulling force of the traction member 30 is gradually increased to drive the puncture head 10 to bend towards the proximal end, and along with the gradual increase of the displacement of the traction member 30, the bending degree of the adjustable bending section 201 is also gradually increased. When the knob 62 is rotated by the right hand, the bending slider 63 moves towards the distal end of the control handle 200, and since the two ends of the pulling member 30 are fixedly connected to the puncturing head 10 and the bending slider 63 respectively, when the bending slider 63 drives the pulling member 30 to move towards the distal end of the control handle 200, the pulling force of the pulling member 30 is gradually reduced to drive the puncturing head 10 to gradually return to the straight state. When the pulling force is removed by the pulling member 30, the piercing head 10 is restored to the original straight state. When the puncture head 10 is aligned with the target puncture position, the external energy generator is connected to start ablation puncture, and the adjustable bending puncture needle 100 is slowly pushed forward at a constant speed until the developing point passes through the interatrial septum to reach the left atrium. The radio frequency connection of the energy generator is disconnected, and the whole adjustable bending puncture needle 100 is retracted, so that the puncture process of the interatrial septum tissue is realized.
According to the adjustable bent puncture needle provided by the invention, the traction component is arranged in the adjustable bent sleeve component, and the distal end of the traction component is fixed on the puncture head or the adjustable bent section of the adjustable bent sleeve component, so that the direction of the adjustable bent puncture needle can be freely adjusted by driving the puncture head and the adjustable bent sleeve component through the traction component after the adjustable bent puncture needle enters a patient body, the puncture head can be more accurately aligned with a target tissue to be punctured, further, the adjustable bent puncture needle is prevented from damaging a path of an in-vivo puncture operation, and the interatrial puncture is more accurate and faster.
