To design and develop a disposable superfine catheter system for visual examination of bile and pancreatic ducts and predict its clinical application value.
The superfine triple-lumen catheter and miniature photography technology were used to design and produce a disposable superfine catheter for visual examination of bile and pancreatic ducts, and animal experiments were conducted to compare said catheter and SpyGlass™.
The designed and developed disposable superfine catheter for visual examination of bile ducts with a diameter of 2.4 mm could enter the third-order and fourth-order bile ducts in the animal liver and also the gallbladder via the cystic duct for observation. The said catheter has a water injection rate of 0.8 mL/s, 0.16 megapixels, a resolution of 400 × 400, a depth of field of 0.3 to 20 mm, and a tilting up angle >90°.
The new disposable catheter for visual examination of bile ducts has a superfine diameter, easier operation, and clearer imaging, and is expected to have a higher clinical practical value.
设计并研发一种用于胆管和胰管可视检查的一次性超细导管系统,并预测其临床应用价值。
采用超细三腔导管及微型摄像技术,设计制作一种用于胆管可视检查的一次性超细导管,并进行动物实验,将该导管与SpyGlass™进行比较。
所设计研发的用于胆管可视检查的一次性超细导管直径为2.4 mm,可进入动物肝脏的三级和四级胆管,还可经胆囊管进入胆囊进行观察。该导管注水速度为0.8 mL/s,像素为0.16兆,分辨率为400×400,景深为0.3至20 mm,上倾角>90°。
新型一次性胆管可视检查导管直径超细,操作更简便,成像更清晰,有望具有更高的临床实用价值。
