In the embodiment, theshaping pipe section 1 and the mainbody pipe section 2 are respectively formed by fixedly connecting metal pipes after being integrally formed by laser cutting; or the moldedpipe section 1 and the mainbody pipe section 2 are formed by integrally forming the same metal pipe through laser cutting, the specific mode of laser cutting of the moldedpipe section 1 is cutting along a spiral line, and after the moldedpipe section 1 and the mainbody pipe section 2 are respectively cut through laser, surface residues are preferably removed through an acid washing mode to improve the surface smoothness. The material of theshaped tube segment 1 and the mainbody tube segment 2 can be selected from metals such as stainless steel, cobalt-based alloy, nickel-titanium alloy, and the like, and preferably the metal with super elastic property, such as nickel-titanium alloy, and the like.
The spiral structure of theplastic pipe section 1 ensures that the head end of the micro guide wire protection tube has plasticity, when the blood vessel branches are few or the blood vessel is not bent very much, theplastic pipe section 1 can keep straight to reach the position of pathological changes, when the blood vessel branches are more or the blood vessel is bent, theplastic pipe section 1 can be molded, theplastic pipe section 1 becomes a bent shape, and through experimental comparison, the spiral structure adopted by theplastic pipe section 1 has simple structure, large flexibility and no limitation of materials, even if the plastic pipe section is made of a metal with superelasticity such as nickel-titanium alloy, the plastic pipe section has good plasticity, and the molded shape can be kept unchanged; simultaneously, compare with direct the holistic distal end of straight tube shape protection tube of having now and carry out the bending moulding, avoided to a certain extent because of moulding leads to the condition that the holistic distal end of protection tube is cracked. As for the mainbody pipe section 2, because the main body pipe section comprises at least two sections of pipe sections which are arranged along the axial direction and are mutually connected and the staggered connection structure of the connectingrings 201 and the connectingrods 202 in the pipe sections, the mainbody pipe section 2 can keep certain rigidity and has better flexibility, so that better axial and radial supporting force is provided for an internal core wire while the flexibility of the internal core wire of the micro catheter is not changed, and the internal core wire can more effectively pass through blood vessels and lesion positions.
In the embodiment, theshaping pipe section 1 and the mainbody pipe section 2 are combined with each other, so that the micro guide wire protection pipe with good pushing performance and flexibility and plasticity at the head end is obtained, the micro guide wire protection pipe can adapt to most of blood vessels in a human body, the smoothness and the flexibility are both considered, and the micro guide wire protection pipe can easily enter the blood vessels to find a pathological change direction and is pushed to a pathological change position; and the multiple specifications of the micro guide wire protection tube can be avoided, and the production cost is reduced.
With continued reference to fig. 1-6, in some alternative embodiments of the present embodiment, it is preferable to use eachconnection ring 201 or connection ringThe length of the connectingrod 202 in the extending direction of the central axis of each connectingring 201 in each sub-pipe section is the width, and the length of each connectingring 201 or connectingrod 202 in the radial direction of each connectingring 201 in each sub-pipe section is the height, then: in the same sub-pipe section, the width and the height of any two connectingrings 201 are the same, and the width and the height of any two connectingrods 202 are the same; and the width of each connectingring 201 in the sub-tube section at the proximal side among two axially adjacent sub-tube sections is B11 Each connectingrod 202 has a width B21 Each connectingrod 202 has a height H1 The width of each connectingring 201 in the distal sub-tube section is B12 Each connectingrod 202 has a width B22 Each connectingrod 202 has a height H2 And then: b is11 >B12 ,B21 =B22 ,H1 >H2 。
